Director, Dr. Ariza Bt. Mohamed

Apart from being a resident obstetrician-gynecologist at Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital, Dr. Ariza has written books on pregnancy, one of which was also published and distributed in Indonesia. She is currently working on a book on hands-on Islamic science education for young children.

She is often invited to speak for lectures or talks on women’s health.Dr. Ariza is a member of the PPIM (Persatuan Perubatan Islam Malaysia), as well Mercy Malaysia.

It has been her fondest wish to be part of a movement that would produce children who could bring back the glory of the golden years of Islam, where scholars like Ibnu Sina and Ar-Razi were able to influence and contribute significantly to science and technology.

She believes that knowledge allows us to view the world with eyes that see beyond the physical. Knowledge allows us to see the world as it is, a place of innumerable manifestations of the divine power of Allahu ta’ala. The Quran states: “…Those who truly fear God, among His Servant, who have knowledge; for Allah is Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving” (Surah Fatir: 28).
