Kelantan Crown Prince inaugurates Darul Quran MAIK Campus for female students

Tengku Muhammad Fakhry Petra, the Crown Prince of Kelantan, officially inaugurated the Darul Quran MAIK Campus for female students in Tumpat. The new facility, located in Kampung Sungai Pinang, aims to expand tahfiz education opportunities for women in the region.

The campus, built on a 51,300-square-foot plot, can house up to 60 students, a significant increase from the previous campus in Pendek, Kota Bharu, which had a capacity of 30. The development was bolstered by waqf contributions, including land and buildings donated by Md. Rashid Mohammad, and financial aid totaling RM296,180 from Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB) for asset provision.

According to Tengku Temenggong of Kelantan and MAIK President, Tan Sri Tengku Mohamad Rizam Tengku Abdul Aziz, the new campus represents a strategic move by MAIK to broaden access to Quranic memorization education for female students. The Siswi Campus was initially established in 2023 in Kota Bharu and has already seen its first cohort of nine alumni graduate this year.

The campus is equipped with modern amenities to foster a conducive learning environment. These include air-conditioned lecture halls, a computer lab, a mini library, dormitory facilities, and a mosque, alongside other support infrastructure.
