KUALA LUMPUR - For an hour, today, the world recites surah Al-Sajdah during the World #QuranHour themed “The World Prostrates” which was held simultaneously all over the world.

In the programme which started at noon, individuals worldwide 'interacted' with the Quran through reading, understanding and putting it into practice.

The event organised by Warisan Ummah Ikhlas Foundation (WUIF) was broadcasted live at the TV AlHijrah Digital Broadcasting Centre, Islamic Centre Complex, here.

The foundation's chief executive officer Marhaini Yusoff said this year, the event was held differently as it was done behind closed doors due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

She said the programme which returned for the seventh year with surah Al-Sajdah as the surah of choice in an effort to invite people to appreciate the true meaning of prostration.

"Now, we are starting to focus on the economic solution of the ummah based on the verse.

"The surah is the main theme for the programme today, and then for the Malaysia #QuranHour on Aug 30, and the World #QuranConvention at the end of this year.

"The first verse of Al-Sajdah explained that despite all the knowledge that we have, Allah SWT is the most knowing," she said.
