Pahang tahfiz graduates excel in professional careers

Graduates from Maahad Tahfiz Negeri Pahang (MTNP) are increasingly breaking into diverse professional fields, challenging traditional perceptions of tahfiz education. The institution is not only fostering religious scholars but also producing doctors, engineers, auditors, and diplomats, demonstrating a significant leap for tahfiz education in Malaysia.

Dr. Dawotd Khan Mad Mikhan, an orthopedic surgeon at Sungai Buloh Hospital and an early MTNP alumnus, shared his gratitude for achieving his dream of becoming a doctor. He highlighted that MTNP provided him with both Quranic memorization and academic qualifications, enabling him to pursue a medical career after studying in Egypt. "I am grateful that my aspiration to become a doctor has been fulfilled even though I studied at a tahfiz institution," he stated.

Afifah Aisyah Idris, 25, an auditor at Ernst & Young, echoed similar sentiments. She credits her success in joining an international audit firm to the education received at MTNP, the support of the Pahang state government, and her parents' prayers. "I am grateful that with the education at MTNP and the state government's assistance, I can now compete with others and achieve my dream of becoming an auditor," she said.

Another MTNP alumna, Balqis Zulkifle, a dentist, noted that about half of her peers are now medical officers, with the rest in various other professional sectors. She emphasized that MTNP serves as a platform for producing professionals and acknowledged the significant support from the Pahang state government, led by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, throughout their educational journey and beyond.
