In 1994, my late Kelantan-born wife, Nik Zaidah Mohd Zain, and I established Adni Islamic School in Ampang, Selangor, with only 17 students. Over the years, our school flourished, reaching over 1,600 students from 22 countries before the COVID-19 pandemic.


In memory of my late wife, I am now embarking on a new journey by starting Iqraโ€™ International School in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. Our school is located in our own 10-storey building, Iqra’ Tower, on Jalan Kebun Sultan, Kota Bharu.

Iqra’ International School will be the only Islamic English medium international school in Kelantan.

My vision for Iqraโ€™ International School is to become the top educational institution in Kelantan, distinguished by our superior facilities, high educational standards, strong Islamic education, and focus on character development.

I warmly invite parents to place their trust in us to educate their children. Your support is vital as we work together to build Iqra’ into a school we can all be proud of. We pledge to do our utmost for the sake of our religion, race and country.

For the academic year 2025, beginning February, we plan to limit our initial intake to preschool, primary 1, 2 and 3 only, to ensure we can address future challenges effectively.

Thank you for your trust and support.

Sincerely,

Hj. Sarbudeen Bin Mohamed Kiyastheen

Chairman,

โ€œA Balanced Education for a Globalised Worldโ€

As Kota Bharuโ€™s only Islamic, English-medium International school, IQRAโ€™ offers a unique educational experience that blends global perspectives with deeply rooted Islamic values. We are proud to be a place where academic excellence meets character development, nurturing young minds in a fully English-speaking environment to prepare them for a globalised world.

Housed in our own dedicated 10-storey building in the heart of Kota Bharu, IQRA provides a modern, vibrant space designed for exploration, growth, and achievement. Our students benefit from a holistic approach to education that extends beyond the classroom, with enriching activities like swimming (in-house by 2026), horse riding, annual Outward Bound School programs and more. These experiences cultivate resilience, teamwork, and leadership, ensuring that every childโ€™s growth is well-rounded.

Founded on a family legacy of educational excellence, IQRA is driven by the success of Adni Islamic School in Kuala Lumpur. We are committed to making quality education accessible, upholding a family-centred ethos that integrates Islamic values into daily learning. At IQRA, we emphasise character building alongside academics, preparing each student to lead with integrity and purpose. For families seeking a balanced, faith-inspired education that empowers young leaders, IQRA stands as a beacon of opportunity and growth.
