Abstract: This study investigates the challenges of managing private Tahfiz centers in Malaysia and suggests solutions to overcome them. The increasing demand for education based on Tahfiz al-Quran is driving the growth of private Tahfiz centers. However, these institutions often face a lack of funds, infrastructure, and quality teaching staff. This study employs a qualitative methodology based on a literature review and semi-structured interviews with five managers of private tahfiz centers. The study’s findings reveal the main challenges in human resources, finance, and facilities management. We propose integrated management principles such as transparency, independence, accountability, responsibility, and justice to overcome this challenge. Transparency ensures openness in financial and facility management, while independence enables an inclusive perspective from staff. Accountability ensures commitment and discipline in management, while responsibility encourages dedication in performing tasks. Justice guarantees equitable treatment for all parties, thereby boosting motivation and job satisfaction. With this approach, private tahfiz centers can provide a conducive and effective learning environment, ensuring continuity and higher quality education for students and staff. This study provides practical guidance to improve the management of private Tahfiz centers in Malaysia. We recommend conducting further research on the influence of integrated management on education quality, the use of technology in tahfiz management, and the involvement of cultural mediators to address management challenges. Case studies of successful tahfiz centers can also aid in highlighting best practices that other tahfiz centers can implement.
