JAKARTA - Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) said that the commemoration of the Nuzulul Qur'an 17 Ramadan must be interpreted more deeply than just an annual religious agenda. According to him, the value of the Qur'an must be present in daily life, including in the life of society and the state.

AHY made the statement at the Presidential Palace complex in Jakarta, Tuesday, March 10, after attending the Nuzulul Qur'an commemoration event at the State Palace. He said the event of the first revelation was an important moment that needed to be remembered.

For AHY, the meaning of the Qur'an's revelation does not stop at the commemoration. More importantly, the values of the Qur'an continue to be instilled in daily life.

He emphasized that the message of the Qur'an is not only alive in the worship room, but also needs to be present in social life, community life, and state life. There, the commemoration of the Qur'an's revelation finds its meaning.

Therefore, AHY invites the public to continue to bring the values of the Qur'an into daily life. Not only read, but also carried out in attitudes and ways of life together.
