Built in 1980 Surau An-Nur stands proudly in Woodlands. It’s more than just a mosque. It’s a vibrant hub for the community. An-Nur meaning ‘The Light’ truly illuminates the lives of its worshippers. The mosque was built under the Mosque Building Fund. It can accommodate up to 2800 people. Imagine the Friday prayers a sea of worshippers united in faith.
An-Nur is known for its extensive outreach programs. It actively participates in grassroots activities. It also supports the kidney donation campaign. The mosque’s dedication to community engagement is remarkable. Its commitment extends beyond religious services. An-Nur provides vital support for those in need.
Beyond its religious functions An-Nur offers madrasah and kindergarten classes. Children from the neighboring estate attend these classes. This reflects An-Nur’s commitment to education and the holistic development of young minds. The mosque also serves as a center for learning the Arabic language. This further enhances its role as a crucial institution within the community.
In 2008 and 2009 An-Nur received distinction awards from MUIS. This was for being a Community and Youth-Friendly Mosque. The awards highlight the mosque’s success in fostering inclusivity and engagement. An-Nur’s motto “Memasyarakatkan Masjid dan Memasjidkan Masyarakat” perfectly encapsulates this philosophy. This translates to “A Community for the Mosque a Mosque for the Community”.
