“Nurturing Quranic Generations” - that is the school motto. Recently turned 20 years of age, Institusi Pendidikan Al Hidayah is an educational institution set amidst bluish green limestone hills of Gunung Rapat, Ipoh, Perak.
The institution has produced students with strong foundation based upon a solid and integrated form of education, in tune with the concept of Islamic education which is wholesome (shumul) and balanced. A balanced and wholesome system of education connotes a system that encourages and inculcates a sound education in terms of spiritual, physical, developing the creative mind, guidance in the independence of thought and soul, nurturing social finesse and acquiring special skills, amongst others.
From its humble beginnings (its early years being in the 1980’s, was initially comprised of 3 rented residential premises around Rapat Setia, Ipoh), Al Hidayah now houses its primary and secondary school within 2 blocks of buildings within its grounds.
Al Hidayah has become the pride of Muslim based institution of learning in Ipoh, in this state of Perak because of its achievements especially in producing achievers of high merits in both academic and religious standings.
I am proud to say that my own son, Anas bin Mohamad Sofian who is now an engineer, with the drilling department of Carigali Petronas, off the coast of Bintulu, in the middle of South China Sea, was the product of this institution. Having been with the school since year 1 at primary until year 3 at secondary level, the day to day stories at the school with his friends, became the episodes (the storyline being totally fictional) that I shared in my second book, Sentuhan Muttaqeen. The setting for the novel was based on the school. Only the name of the school has been changed i.e. Institusi Pendidikan Al Muttaqeen.
The increase in the number of students intake from year to year in the learning centre has taken its toll. There is a dire need for physical expansion. I am greatly indebted to the Al Hidayah Institution for it had impacted generously in embodying values and virtues to our youngsters (especially my own son). Therefore, it is with this realization and sense of responsibility that I am extending my assistance for the institution in dissipating this call for kind hearts amongst readers out here. For, I believe that many of us are very concerned about upbringing and providing the best in developing our future and potential leaders. In particular, the musalla (prayer place) of the school need to be upgraded (with project costs amounting to RM 800,000). So too, are the other facilities.
Work in the expansion of the facility has begun. Progress has been very slow, impeded and stalled every now and then because of shortage of funds. If there are any kind souls who are willing to lend their hands in this noble venture, you may do so through the following:

Allah has said, ““Help one another in righteousness and piety - and do not help one another in sin and injustice..” ~Al Maidah: verse 2~
And in another, “The likeness of those who spend their wealth in Allah's way is as the likeness of a grain which groweth seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains. Allah giveth increase manifold to whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing.” ~Al Baqarah: 261~
May Allah reward your generous souls…. Amin Ya Rabbul Alamin…
