At the outset, I wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to the World Philosophical Forum, Gual Periok Foundation, WPF Malaysia
Organization, and the Institute of al-Quranic Philosophy for their noble collaboration in shaping a global initiative that aspires to foster unity and envision a world of peace, harmony, and shared well-being.

On this occasion, I pay heartfelt tribute to the late Dato’ Philosopher
D’Outreach Prof. Dr. Halo-N Badii’uzzaman, whose far-sighted vision first introduced the philosophy of the Qur’an to the world. His passing leaves us with a profound sense of loss, yet his legacy is not a memory to be mourned alone—it is a mandate for the future. His pioneering ideas call upon us, the global community of thinkers, leaders, and seekers of truth, to rise together and carry forward his vision. In doing so, we honour his memory not with silence, but with action: by nurturing al-Quranic Philosophy as a practical force for ethical governance, compassion, and the well-being of all humanity.

The establishment of international cooperation through the World Philosophical Forum creates invaluable space for the convergence of thought, knowledge, and experience. Such convergence is essential for
developing philosophies of outreach and development that can address the pressing challenges of humanity and guide us toward meaningful solutions.
