Poor and insufficient infrastructureand facilities,unstandardized and inappropriate management are amongst the emerging difficulties due to fully dependent on government supports and charitable endowment(waqf).Accountability issue in crowd fundraisingand donation,lack of financial resources are another demerit associated with Private Tahfiz Institutions. This paper, therefore,aims to firstlydescribethe concept of Social Entrepreneurship from the Islamic Perspective and its integration in the PTIgovernance to further embark theTahfizpreneur Model.This study seeks to highlight three key elements in the proposed formationof Tahfizpreneur Model namely:(i) the actual problems of PTI(ii) The ITS’s administrators’knowledge on the Islamic Entrepreneurship(iii) Effective marketing strategies on the Private Tahfiz entrepreneurship products. These three essential elements need to be collectively integrated and holistically embraced to produce Tahfizpreneur Models applicable throughout PTIin Malaysia. Hence,in an attempt to transform the existing governance of PTI, this study further suggests that this endeavourshould gain full supportand requires the cooperation from various authoritative bodies. Mainly, the Stakeholders Tahfiz in Malaysia through the Department ofIslamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), National Institute of Entrepreneurship (INSKEN),Higher Education Institutions (IPT) and State Islamic Religious Council (MAIN)are the core government agencies whoshould effectively joint effort and increasingly work together to achieve the ultimate goal ofthe NationalTahfizEducation Policy (DPTN)in strengthening Tahfiz Institution in this country.
