KUALA LUMPUR: In conjunction with the observance of Nuzul Quran on Saturday (March 7), members of the Cabinet extended their greetings and called on Muslims in the country to increase their recitation of the Quran and practise its teachings in their daily lives.

"Let us all increase our recitation, understanding and practice of the teachings of the Quran in our daily lives,” he said in a Facebook post today.
Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani expressed hope that Muslims would continue to appreciate and practise the teachings of the Quran, and make it a guide in building a knowledgeable, ethical and compassionate society.
Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said that Nuzul Quran is a significant event in the history of Islamic civilisation, which marks the revelation of the first divine message to Prophet Muhammad.
"This event is not merely a spiritual moment, but also marks the beginning of the formation of a civilisation of knowledge, founded on divine revelation,” he said.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad also called on Muslims to strengthen their faith, continue reflecting on the Quran and seek the forgiveness of Allah SWT, while striving to be granted the opportunity to encounter Lailatul Qadr.
The Nuzul Quran observance commemorates the significant event in Islamic history, when the Quran was first revealed to Prophet Muhammad, through the first revelation on the 17th day of Ramadan. - Bernama
