The Al Mujaheddin Mosque (Malay: Masjid Al Mujaheddin), also Masjid Mujahidin, is a mosque in Damansara Utama, Selangor, Malaysia. Located near the roundabout of Damansara Utama where Damansara Uptown is, the Al Mujaheddin Mosque is more than just a place of worship. In the compound, there is an Islamic school going by the name SRA Al-Mujahiddeen.
SRA stands for Sekolah Agama Rakyat or People's Religious School. It is where some Muslim residents send their children to get in-depth teachings on Islamic faith.
Background
[edit]The mosque originally started in an old wooden structure on land belonging to the Fire Department.[1] The popularity of Tok Guru Abdul Hadi Awang helped to expand the congregation significantly.[1] The government eventually approved the mosque's application for the land in Damansara Utama to build a new concrete structure.[1]
