Surau PERKIM

Surau PERKIM is a special place of worship for the convenience of Muslims who fulfill the obligation of the second pillar of Islam which is to pray five times a day and night when the time comes.

The surau is located on level G, Bangunan PERKIM Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah (Jalan Ipoh), Kuala Lumpur where it is a center for Muslims who visit offices, food stalls, exhibitions at PWTC, clinics and banks around Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Jalan Rahmat and Jalan Sentul.
