<![CDATA[This community service program aimed to strengthen Qur'anic literacy, worship discipline, and basic financial literacy among the congregation of Surau Wang Ulu, Kangar, Perlis, Malaysia, through a Muhammadiyah values-based empowerment approach. The ten-week program employed Participatory Action Research (PAR) across five stages: needs assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up. A total of 50 main participants took part, comprising 38 children aged 7–15 and 12 adults, with 25 parents and surau administrators serving as supporting participants. Interventions included talaqqi-based Qur'anic instruction, structured salah simulation, individual mentoring, parental engagement workshops, and basic financial literacy sessions. Data were collected through pre- and post-assessments, observation checklists, attendance records, and participant feedback, and analyzed descriptively. Post-programme assessments showed improvements across all measured indicators: tahsin recitation accuracy (72%), tajwid application (70%), beginner Qur'anic reading progression (65%), salah movement accuracy (68%), congregational prayer participation (75%), and basic financial literacy (60%). Community attendance throughout the programme reached 85%. These findings indicate that an integrated Muhammadiyah-based community service model combining spiritual, worship, and life-skills components can yield measurable improvements across religious and socioeconomic domains.]]>
