<![CDATA[The surau is a traditional Minangkabau socio-religious institution that historically functioned as a collective space for worship, learning, and deliberation. In Korong Kampuang Tangah, Nagari Sikucua Timur, V Koto Kampung Dalam District, Padang Pariaman Regency, the collective function of the surau has weakened due to differing religious understandings between congregants affiliated with the Syattariyah Sufi order and those following Muhammadiyah teachings. This Divergence has created social distance and reduced congregational participation in surau activities. This community service activity aims to revive the collective function of Surau Munti through a religious study circle (wirid pengajian) program designed participatorily with the congregation. The method applied is Participatory Action Research (PAR), actively involving the target community in problem identification, planning, implementation, and evaluation. Data were collected through observation, documentation, field notes, and the implementation of the wirid pengajian itself as an action intervention, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The activity involved approximately 15 congregants selected to represent both religious groups. Results indicate increased openness among congregants from both groups to gather within a single religious forum, culminating in an agreement to continue the cross-group wirid pengajian as a regular activity for fellowship and moderate religious strengthening. The main obstacle encountered was the varying levels of religious understanding among participants, addressed through moderate language and small discussion groups. This activity contributes a model of surau revitalization grounded in religious moderation that can be replicated in other nagari with similar religious dynamics. ]]>
