Maahad Ihya Al-Ahmadi.

satu tekad, satu hasrat, menuju redha Ilahi

INTRODUCTION
This paper aims to give an overview and description of Maahad Ihya Al-Ahmadi for those
who wants to learn more about the school whose intentions were to donate money, materials,
equipment, vehicles or to contribute their ideas, energy and so on to help achieve the virtuous
intention in spreading the message of Islam in education field.
PURPOSE OF MAAHADS ESTABLISHMENT
1. Lack of religious government school.
In Kuala Langat there are only two religious government schools, Sekolah Agama
Menengah Tinggi Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (SAMTTAR) Sungai Manggis, Banting and
Sekolah Agama Menengah Unwanus Saadah (SAMUS) Kanchong Darat, Banting. Each year,
these schools could not accommodate the amount of students wishing to enroll in religious
based school.
2. Delivering the publics need.
The public in Kuala Langat especially hopes for a private religious school to be built
that can accommodate the students to continue their child education in religious school and
educated with reference to Islam.
3. Answering the calling of Fardh Ain and dawah.
Understanding religion is an obligation for every man, one of its ways of
implementation to young generation is through education. Therefore, Maahad IhyaAlAhmadi was realised despite the lack of capital or modal.

OBSTACLES AND PROBLEMS

1. THE HOSTEL COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE THE STUDENTS.

Maahad Ihya Al-Ahmadi.satu tekad, satu hasrat, menuju redha Ilahi

For the year 2015 enrollment, the Maahad had to reject many of the applications for both
male and female tahfiz students due to the compactness of the hostel. This puts pressure
on the Maahad applications as the year goes by.

2. SPACE OF THE SURAU IS NOT ENOUGH TO HOLD THE STUDENTS.

Maahad Ihya Al-Ahmadi.satu tekad, satu hasrat, menuju redha Ilahi

Right now, female students had to be separated into two groups for congregational prayer
because of the small space. Renovation was done in 2008, but the same problem occurs
when the number of students increases again.

3. NO SPECIAL VEHICLE
7

Maahad Ihya Al-Ahmadi.satu tekad, satu hasrat, menuju redha Ilahi

The Maahad is seeking to buy a mini bus with a cost of RM 250 000.00 for:

3.1

Making it easier for the students to go and perform the Jumuah (Friday prayer) in

3.2

mosque every week.

Sending students who are sitting for SPM examination outside of school because our
students were surrogate candidates that will have to lodge in government schools that

acts as the examination centre.

3.3 Making it easier for the Maahad to send its students to courses, programmes or
seminars held by the ministry, Persatuan Tahfiz Selangor (PITAS), Jabatan Agama Islam
and others.
*The charge for bus rental is very expensive more so if rented for several days to and fro
or for a long travelling distance.
4. NO LABORATORY
-

The Maahad is trying to build a computer lab, Kemahiran Hidup Bersepadu (Integrated
Life Skills) workshop and English lab for students use. Alhamdulillah, two science lab
were managed to be built and completed in June 2015.

5. LACK OF LEARNING AIDS

-

The Maahad plans to install projectors in every class to assist the lessons for students
using the modern approach. Right now, we only have 3 projectors that are used during
Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran (PDP) or Teaching and Learning.

MONTHLY SOURCE INCOME

Maahad Ihya Al-Ahmadi.satu tekad, satu hasrat, menuju redha Ilahi

developed as years goes by. Despite that, there are still lots of weaknesses in this
Maahad compared to religious government schools
