Islamic Value

At Miftah An-Nur we are dedicated to nurturing and developing intelligent, creative and God-conscious young people through a broad, balanced and personalised education experience that anchors and inspires our pupils spiritually and academically for the rest of their lives.

Blending the best of the British National Curriculum with our Bruneian heritage and Islamic values, our specially modified curriculum encourages pupils to build on their existing knowledge and skills, ensuring a continuous and expansive learning journey that develops the child as a whole.

We strive to adapt the curriculum wherever possible to meet the needs and strengths of our pupils, as well as providing opportunities for students to pursue their own interests and develop their particular talents in ways that work best for them.

As a multilingual school, we also offer pupils the chance to learn in English, Malay and Arabic, adding to the strong foundations we aim to provide each and every one of them as we endeavour to cultivate accomplished, principled and thriving global citizens.

GREETINGS

Executive Principal’s Welcome

Assalaamu ‘Alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu,

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful and Compassionate. All praise is due to Allah Almighty, and may the peace, blessings and salutations of Allah be upon our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

I am pleased and honoured to welcome you to Miftah An-Nur Islamic International School. With the grace of Allah Most High, our aim is to raise generations of Muslims to live the beauty of Islam, being successful and thriving global citizens.

Miftah An-Nur Islamic International School is the first of its kind in Brunei Darussalam. Our educational program integrates international best practices and standards with traditional Islamic values and etiquette. We achieve excellence in our teaching and learning while fostering Islamic values in our students through our dedicated and nurturing facilitators. Moreover, we are a school that aims for mastery in three core languages: English, Malay, and Arabic. These skills will set our graduates apart in the rapidly changing global environment.

The spiritual, emotional, physical and intellectual faculties of our learners are developed based on the nurturing Islamic principles of tarbiyyah. This inclusive and holistic approach to the development of children allows our learners to be confident and well-rounded individuals.

Our staff and students are encouraged to be God-conscious and responsible global citizens, acting upon the verse of the Holy Quran, “It is He Who has appointed you vicegerent over the earth” (6:165). This Divine responsibility drives our intention to instill excellence in our service to mankind, while having humility in successes, sincerity in actions and gratitude for our countless blessings. Our core values stem from the hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, “Love for humanity what you love for yourself.”

We look forward to meeting you in person and inviting you to our community. Please feel free to contact me directly at ep.office@miftah.edu.bn and we will be happy to assist you.

Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

Wasalam.
