Here lies a school where education is a sacred journey of the heart, mind, and soul. At Ar Rayyan Islamic Integrated School, Ampang (SRII Ar Rayyan), children are not only taught to read and count but to walk through life with adab, discipline, and a deep love for Allah.

Founded with a sincere intention to offer children a truly Islamic environment, Ar Rayyan stands apart by weaving faith into every fibre of school life. It’s not just a place where Islam is taught in classes — it’s where Islam is lived, felt, and embraced.

A Gate to Jannah — In Spirit and in Name

Named after one of the gates of Paradise reserved for those who fast sincerely for the sake of Allah, “Ar Rayyan” reflects the school’s noble mission: to raise children who are spiritually strong, disciplined, and sincere. The founders envisioned a space where children could grow into individuals who know their purpose in life — and their Creator.

From the very beginning, this vision has guided every element of the school, from how classes are taught to how children perform their daily prayers. Here, solat is the essence of learning.

What Sets Ar Rayyan Apart?

It starts with their integrated curriculum, a blend of national academic subjects (KSSR) and structured Islamic education. But the integration goes deeper than scheduling. Teachers at Ar Rayyan are trained to infuse Islamic values into every subject, from English to Science. A story in English might explore themes of gratitude. A lesson in Science could reflect on the signs of Allah in nature.

Every morning, students attend individualised Quran reading sessions (Tahsin) with their teachers. This daily commitment helps strengthen tajwid, fluency, and a love for the Quran — all while progressing at their own pace. It’s personalised, gentle, and nurturing.

Then comes Zohor. When the azan rings through the school halls, everything pauses. Students perform their congregational prayers (solat berjemaah), learning to anchor their days in worship, discipline, and community.

A Nurturing Environment That Feels Like Home

At Ar Rayyan, the classroom is not just a space for learning but for character-building. With a low student-to-teacher ratio (1:15), children receive the attention and guidance they need — not just academically but spiritually and emotionally too.

The school’s teachers are carefully selected not only for their qualifications but for their akhlak, passion, and Islamic values. They are seen not merely as instructors, but as murabbis — spiritual mentors who guide students with love, patience, and care. The result is a school culture filled with gentle discipline, respectful communication, and sincere connection.

Daily routines like morning du’a, wudhu before solat, and classroom etiquette are all opportunities to reinforce good character. Students are taught to speak kindly, clean up after themselves, seek permission respectfully, and manage their emotions — lessons that build emotional intelligence and moral strength.

Learning That Goes Beyond the Classroom

Ar Rayyan understands that spiritual and moral growth can’t be confined to textbooks. That’s why students regularly engage in field trips, Islamic celebrations, and community outreach projects.

One heartwarming memory involved students attending Friday prayers at a nearby mosque, then staying back to clean the prayer area and distribute food to congregants. The feedback from parents and mosque staff was glowing — and the pride on the students’ faces was priceless. These moments of tarbiyyah in action are what shape confident, grounded individuals.

Weekly programs like Kem Solat, Khatam al-Quran ceremonies, Maulidur Rasul celebrations, and even charity drives and gotong-royong give students practical ways to live their faith with joy and meaning.

Education of the Heart, Mind, and Body

While spiritual development is at the core of Ar Rayyan, the school also excels in supporting intellectual growth through project-based learning, interactive methods, and academic enrichment. Students learn to think critically, explore creatively, and develop a genuine curiosity about the world around them.

Physical education and co-curricular activities like Taekwondo, sports, and art are embedded weekly to support physical health, discipline, and confidence.

Emotionally, children flourish in a school environment where they are seen, heard, and valued. Teachers guide students in managing emotions, resolving conflicts peacefully, and building positive peer relationships.

A School Built on Faith, Family, and the Future

Parents at Ar Rayyan aren’t just spectators — they’re partners. Through regular parent-teacher meetings, WhatsApp groups, progress reports, and Islamic parenting workshops, the school ensures strong family engagement. Parents are invited to participate in events, give feedback, and contribute to the school’s ever-evolving journey.

In terms of safety and wellbeing, Ar Rayyan spares no effort. The school is gated, monitored by CCTV, and kept impeccably clean. Meals are prepared fresh with halal and nutritious ingredients, and hygiene is strictly upheld. With close teacher supervision and a compassionate ethos, every child is looked after with deep care.

Looking Ahead: The Ar Rayyan Promise

Ar Rayyan hopes to one day establish a secondary school pathway, so that children raised in this nurturing environment can continue to flourish in a place that aligns with their spiritual and academic needs. They also aim to enhance Quranic mastery, upgrade learning facilities, and continuously invest in teacher development — all while deepening partnerships with the parent community and local mosques. But at the heart of it all is one vision: “To raise a generation of children who are knowledgeable and of noble character — individuals who know Allah, live with adab, and lead with sincerity.” In a world that often separates education from spirituality, Ar Rayyan Islamic Integrated School offers something rare, powerful, and deeply needed — a place where learning is worship, teachers are murabbis, and school is a path to Jannah.
