Hidden amongst the bustling streets of Damansara Perdana, lies Surau Ahmad Razali. This unassuming place of worship holds a special place in the hearts of the local community. Surau Ahmad Razali isn’t just a place for prayer. It’s a hub of activity, a beacon of knowledge, and a testament to community spirit.
Surau Ahmad Razali, located on Jalan PJU 8/9 in Flora Damansara, serves the residents of Damansara Perdana. The surau’s leadership includes Ustaz Rizal Sapari as Pengerusi, Saudara Anuar as Setiausaha, and Haji Khidhir as Bendahari. Their contact details are readily available for community members. Financial contributions can be made to the Surau Ahmad Razali account at Bank Islam Bhd (Account No: 14195010001896). This transparency reflects the surau’s commitment to community involvement.
The surau plays a vital role in the spiritual and educational lives of the community. Lectures and special programs are frequently held, covering topics from the intricacies of Islamic teachings to practical guidance on everyday life. In November 2018, for example, the surau hosted a series of lectures. These lectures included talks by Ustaz Shahrulakma on the “Secrets of Death”, Imam Muda Amar speaking on the occasion of Maulidur Rasul, and a special Maulidur Rasul lecture by PU Amin. These events not only enrich the community’s understanding of Islam, but also foster a sense of togetherness.
Surau Ahmad Razali extends its services beyond prayer and lectures. They offer Quranic and Iqra’ classes for Muslimah, guided by Ustazah Nor Liyana Abdullah. These classes, held on Sundays, provide a valuable opportunity for women to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Quran. The surau also provides a welcoming environment for new converts. In October 2018, they welcomed Saudara Habibullah, originally from Nigeria, into the fold of Islam.
Surau Ahmad Razali truly embodies the spirit of community and faith. It serves as a vital center for spiritual growth, education, and social connection in Damansara Perdana. It is more than just a building; it’s a living testament to the power of faith and community.
