Heartwarming stories and insights await at MCF2022!
Introduce yourself
Hello everyone! My name is Abdul Rahim, I was born and raised in Lorong Buangkok village, and part of the committee managing Surau Buangkok.
To me, Home is…
A place to rest and relax.
How does your religion cultivate a sense of community and home?
The surau is a place where we study religion and conduct congregational prayers, led by our community’s ustaz (teacher). Through this, we develop greater silaturrahim (the strengthening of relationships within the community) and reap rewards.
