| Summary: | The administration of most private Tahfiz institutions (PTIs) in Malaysia is beset by problems of infrastructure standard, total dependence on government assistance, poor Waqf fund management, public fundraising accountability issues, and financial resource constraints. Therefore, this paper proposes the Conceptual Framework of Sustainable Tahfiz Model (STM), which integrates three main scopes, i.e., Rainwater Harvesting System (RWHS), Renewable Energy Strategies (RES) and Food Subsistence Strategies (FSS). The nexus of such a green approach requires an ecological footprint in producing and consuming food through a series of connections between energy and clean water. Evidently, this is an alternative in maximizing existing resources and at the same time to generate extra income for PTIs in Malaysia to improve their sustainability. This is parallel with the Government policy known as the National Tahfiz Education Policy (DPTN) that aims to achieve a nation-wide sustainable Tahfiz with a good quality of students. © 2020 The Authors.
