Nuzul Al-Quran

Every year on the 17th of Ramadhan, Brunei celebrates Nuzul Al-Quran. The holiday was revealed to Muhammad during the month of Ramadan. This is why Muslims believe Ramadan to be the holiest month of the year. Muslims commemorate the day by reciting passages from the Quran, visiting the mosque, and praying in public. In Brunei, as in other Muslim countries, it is a serious and reflective time. This is one of the most famous festivals in Brunei.

The first words of the Quran were revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) during one of his isolated retreats to the Cave of Hira', and they were the first five lines of Surah Al-'Alaq from Chapter 96 of the Qur'an, and they were the first five lines of Surah Al-'Alaq from Chapter 96 of the Quran. Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) continued to hear Quranic verses for another 23 years after this day. Nuzul Al-Quran is a day of seriousness and thought for Muslims, who observe it by going to mosques for prayers and reciting the Quran.
