The Birth of
itqan Integrated Islamic School

-

Itqan Integrated Islamic School was born out of the challenges faced in raising our children Islamically, in a world that is becoming increasingly un-Islamic. It is meant to provide a safe environment that promotes an Islamic way of life (ad-deen) outside of the home.

THEN  NOW

  

                            

 

The journey began with this mission, a vision and common intention of being of service to Allah swt. Two mothers decided to embark on this noble effort. Introduced to a third, and later joined by a fourth, they strived to bring to reality this dream for their children as well as to provide the same opportunity for children of other like-minded parents. They were to do this only with the guidance and strong support of their wonderful husbands. 

 

The background of these ladies is as diverse as you can imagine! One was an electrical engineer, another a businesswoman, the third and only one from an education background was briefly a teacher and later in management consultancy. Last but not least, the fourth was from the logistics industry.

PARENTS HELPING

In November 2006, the decision to set up Itqan Integrated Islamic School was made. As a result of Allah’s guidance and through His strength, a wonderful team of pioneers (may Allah bless them all) put in a lot of hard work. Through sheer dedication and determination, within two months, that is by January 2007, Itqan Integrated Islamic School began operations.

Itqan started with a preschool, primary school (Levels1-5), and secondary school (Levels 1&2) at the Taman Tun Dr Ismail Community Center as the school’s present building renovation was still incomplete. It had its orientation program there for 2 weeks before moving to the Damansara Jaya property. In March the preschool premises was ready in Kota Damansara and so the preschool moved there. Alhamdulillah, the number of students overall increased from 20+ to 80+ within the first year.


ADMIN

In March 2008, a very difficult but important decision to close the secondary school had to be made.  This was due to many constraints faced, including logistics as well as financial problems. Since then, the school has focused on primary and preschool education. It is our intention to keep the school small, but to be able to provide quality education, facilities and environment as best we can inshaAllah.

Alhamdulillah, the preschool intake has grown and has been expanded slightly to accommodate for that. There are still some places vacant for the primary school, so if you know of any friends or relatives looking for a place for their children,
do let us know. 

Itqan was NOT set up as a money-making business. It remains a non-profit organization for all intents and purposes to be of service to Allah swt.  InshaAllah, we hope in the future, with more students coming in, that the school can at least be self-sufficient. We hope that with this insight, you understand better what Itqan stands for and will continue to support this noble cause. Wassalaam.
