Abstract
Religious programs for prisoners in Malaysia have been around for a long time. The purpose of this religious recovery program is to help prisoners to re-understand religion and recover themselves. The good reception of religious programs has led the Malaysian government to strengthen it by organizing tahfiz programs for prisoners. One of the problems of prisoners after their release is to find a job and that causes them to re-engage with crime and return to prison. In this regard, this study attempts to explore the development of religious programs as well as the opportunities that can be implemented by prisoners in Malaysia. This study uses a qualitative approach through document analysis. The study found that through the tahfiz program introduced, it opens up opportunities for prisoners to venture into careers in the field of tahfiz which is increasingly gaining a place in Malaysian society. This opportunity has made it possible for inmates in Malaysia to start a business based on tahfiz studies based on their expertise.
