Nurturing Professional Huffaz Nationwide

Minister Ahmad Zahid stressed that tahfiz education must be regarded as a strategic national asset, vital for safeguarding religious heritage while shaping future leaders.
He urged the government to upgrade curricula, provide professional training for teachers, and equip schools with modern facilities, so graduates become balanced, professional Huffaz capable of serving society. Community outreach programmes will also link students with real‑world applications of their knowledge.

For parents and educators, this policy promises better‑equipped tahfiz schools, more qualified teachers, and graduates who can contribute beyond memorisation, enhancing both spiritual and civic life in Malaysia for their families.

Elevating tahfiz education to a national priority will raise the quality of Huffaz, create employment for specialised teachers, and strengthen Malaysia’s cultural identity, positioning the country as a hub for Islamic scholarship.
