State Education, Science, Technology and Special Tasks Committee chairman, Ghazali Taib said some of the basics were already there in the state for the setting up of the university.
'We already have the Institut Darul Quran (IQ) which is in the process of being upgraded into a university college,' he told Bernama.
Ghazali said the idea of setting up a Quran university in Terengganu came from Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh when he was Terenganu Chief Minister.
He said the opportunity was there as suitable locations were available, such as Taman Ilmu in Tembila, Besut, because a large piece of land was needed with adequate infrastructure and facilities to set up the university.
He added that he would be meeting Idris soon to further discuss the establishment of the proposed Quran University.
