PUCHONG – Yesterday marked the 17th day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which is known as Nuzul Quran.
It is also a historical date in the Muslim calendar celebrated by believers, seeing that the first verse of the Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad on this day, before it was codified after his death into the final modern version.
The first verse is traditionally believed to be Chapter 96 of the holy book titled Al-‘Alaq, where the Archangel Gabriel appeared before the Prophet and commanded him to “Read” – signifying the importance of knowledge in Islam.
Generally, Muslims worldwide would celebrate the final 15 days of the fasting month by multiplying their good deeds, performing more prayers, and reciting the Quran, hoping that Allah will accept their actions and reward them accordingly in the afterlife.
From the 20th night of Ramadan until the eve of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, these believers will begin chasing the sacred night known as “lailatulqadar.”
According to tradition, the blessings from worshipping on this one particular night have no equal – as the rewards of worship on this one single night are more than the rewards of a thousand months of worship.
