The foundation will officially launch the 1 Million Quran Waqf Project for the United Kingdom during the 7th Global Peace and Unity (GPU) exhibition at ExCeL London on October 19-20, Bernama reported on Thursday.
Restu Foundation executive chairman Datuk Abdul Latiff Mirasa stated that the initiative aims to distribute one million copies of the Quran across the UK to enhance accessibility and understanding of the holy text within the country's diverse communities.
“The UK communities feel that our Al-Quran is most suitable, and appealing, and the demand is very strong. For that, we are collaborating, we will print copies of Al-Quran at Nasyrul Quran, and the important thing is to raise funds. They appreciate it because the translation we have done is of high quality. Many scholars in the UK have reviewed it and are satisfied with the translation,” he said.

Abdul Latiff, who is also the chief executive officer of Nasyrul Quran, mentioned that this initiative aligns with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's efforts to print a million copies of the Quran for worldwide distribution.
“The impact of distributing a million Quran initiated by Prime Minister (Datuk Seri Anwar) has profoundly affected communities around the world. This is a continuation of that effort,” he added.
The project will be implemented in phases and is expected to take approximately two years to complete. At the upcoming event, the foundation will showcase over 30 years of its dedicated work, featuring unique art pieces from Malaysia, including the Quran with various translations and other significant Islamic artifacts.
