Both of the verses encapsulates the importance of prostrating to Allah SWT as well as teaching that the prostrating movement involves seven parts of the body touching the ground which was a concept of being humble as a servant as well as praising the greatness of Allah SWT.

Warisan Ummah Ikhlas Foundation Chief Executive Officer Marhaini Yusoff said Arafah #QuranHour takes the momentum of the largest gathering of Muslims reciting Surah Al-Sajdah, Surah Al-Hajj and selected verses from the Quran in building the character of a prostrating and obedient servant of God.

Meanwhile, Karangkraf Media Group chairman Datuk Hussamuddin Yaacub said the Muslim community needs to practice the values from Surah As-Sajdah and Surah Al-Hajj.

"I am disappointed that our piety level is yet on the desired level and I also feel gutted that in this country, we are obsessing over some other figures other than God.

"I hope the leaders will help the ummah as we are straying further as a community of a nation and Malaysia seems to be facing many challenges as some figures are putting power above God,” he said at Karangkraf studio, today.
