In 1993, the housing development corporation of Taman Desa Rahmat
started out an Al-Quran class at the housing area's mosque, Masjid
Al Khairiah as part of their contribution to the community.
This class expands to a Tahfiz Al-Quran school for children
with the help of Allahyarham Ustaz Hilmy al-hafiz in 1994.
The students who are admitted comprises or orphans [boys]
from all over Kelantan.
In 1996, the Tahfiz Al-Quran centre officially becomes
PEKAYATIM, which is a part of PEYATIM- Pertubuhan Kebajikan
Anak Yatim Malaysia [Malaysian Orphan's Welfare Organisation]
(Reg.No:1193/96 Kel). PEKAYATIM is now a full-fledged orphanage
for boys, which provides education in the form of Tahfiz al-Quran,
care for the orphans, and help prepare them for the future by
helping them secure places in Islamic courses within local
higher institutions.
However,currently the Tahfiz centre can only accommodate up
to 30 orphans, due to lack of resources and financial means as it
relies on public funding. Thus they are also currently unable to
accept girls. Stringent interviews are conducted to ensure the
orphans accepted are serious about studying Tahfiz al-Quran and
make it thier chosen stream in Universities.
PEKAYATIM only admits orphan boy aged 10 to 22, and they will
spend the next couple of years studying the al-Quran and prepare for
the exams that will enable them to further their education.
There have been 12 graduates of the school thus far.
For your information, here we provide free services to any
orphan children and also for poor person from all country.
Even the number of them is only 32 person but still the expenses
are expensive for their daily expenses, hostel, clothes, staff
salary, bil expenses and others still can come up with a thousand
in every month. We are kindly receive donation in any form for
the orphan children here.Hopefully, someday, we will get our own
building so that will many of children can be placed here to be
a hafiz-hafiz Al-Quran and to expand their knowledge in every
country.
