Ahmad Tasnim sole Techno-Huffaz graduate at PSA polytechnic
SHAH ALAM: Ahmad Tasnim Fathullah Ahmad Hafidz emerged as the sole graduate of the Techno-Huffaz programme at Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (PSA). He completed the five-semester Quranic memorisation course after 10 of his peers dropped out due to various challenges. Ahmad Tasnim, who also earned a Diploma in Electronic Communication Engineering, admitted feeling disheartened as his friends withdrew one by one. 'Initially, 11 students enrolled, but by the fourth semester, nine dropped the subject, and one failed the fifth-semester exams,' he said. Balancing Techno-Huffaz with academic studies was tough, but parental support kept him motivated. He spoke after receiving his certificate at PSA's 26th convocation ceremony at Dewan Al-Jazari. Adapting to PSA's environment as a new student three years ago posed additional challenges for him and his peers. The Techno-Huffaz programme requires students to manage both technical studies and Quranic memorisation, including tajwid and recitation. Ahmad Tasnim plans to pursue a bachelor's degree in Medical Electronic Engineering at PSA. He is open to mentoring future Techno-Huffaz students interested in the programme. Launched in 2017, Techno-Huffaz is a collaboration between PSA, JAKIM, and Darul Quran to produce holistic technocrat huffaz. To date, 16 graduates have earned both a polytechnic diploma and JAKIM's Tahfiz Al-Quran certification. Nineteen new students have enrolled for the 2025/2026 session. The 22-year-old from Pasir Mas, Kelantan, was among 937 graduates honoured at PSA's convocation. Since 1997, PSA has produced 44,509 graduates. PSA director Zainah Rujihan and Panasonic's Datuk Moktar Mohd Salleh attended as guests of honour. - Bernama

Ahmad Tasnim overcomes challenges to earn JAKIM-Polytechnic Tahfiz certificate
SHAH ALAM: Ahmad Tasnim Fathullah Ahmad Hafidz has achieved a rare milestone by completing the JAKIM-Polytechnic Al-Quran Tahfiz Certificate through the Techno-Huffaz Programme at Politeknik Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (PSA). Out of 11 students who initially enrolled, he emerged as the only graduate after five semesters of dedication. The 22-year-old, who also holds a Diploma in Electronic Communication Engineering, reflected on the emotional challenge of seeing peers withdraw from the programme over time. 'When I first enrolled at PSA, there were around 11 students in the programme, but by the fourth semester, nine had dropped the subject, while another failed the examination in the fifth semester,' he shared. Balancing the Techno-Huffaz programme with his engineering studies required rigorous time management, but parental support kept him motivated. 'I admit it was challenging to divide my time between the Techno-Huffaz programme and other academic subjects, but my parents became my pillar of strength to keep me going until I graduated, even if it meant studying on my own,' he said after the convocation. Adapting to PSA's environment as a new student three years ago added another layer of difficulty despite his prior Quranic memorisation experience. The Techno-Huffaz programme, introduced in 2017, integrates Quranic studies with technical disciplines like Business, Civil, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering. Ahmad Tasnim now aims to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Medical Electronic Engineering at PSA while mentoring future Techno-Huffaz participants. The programme, a collaboration between Malaysian polytechnics and JAKIM's Darul Quran, has produced 16 dual-certified graduates since its inception. Nineteen new students have enrolled for the 2025/2026 session, continuing the initiative's mission to develop technocrat huffaz with global perspectives. Ahmad Tasnim was among 937 graduates honoured at PSA's 26th convocation, raising the institution's total alumni count to 44,509 since 1997. The ceremony was attended by PSA director Zainah Rujihan and Panasonic Appliance Air-Conditioning (M) Sdn Bhd corporate human resources director Datuk Moktar Mohd Salleh. - Bernama
