FAQ (Frequently-Asked Questions)
1. Account, Login and Student ID
1.1 I can't log in.
- Log in with your registered email and password, not your Student ID. Check that both are correct; use Show Password to verify. If it still fails, email us your name, registered email and phone number so we can check.
1.2 I forgot my password.
- Click Forgot Password and enter your registered email. Open the link in the email you receive and set a new password. If no email arrives, check your Spam/Junk folder or contact us.
1.3 My child is a new student. How do I get the Student ID and create an account?
- Get your child's Student ID from the Centre first. The new format is 1 letter followed by 8 digits, e.g. A20260123. Then click Create Account, choose Student Account (not Public Account), enter the Student ID in the correct A/C/Z field and click Save. DAPL cannot look up new Student IDs for you.
1.4 My child is an existing student. Do I need to change the Student ID myself?
- No. The system converts existing students' IDs automatically by 31 October 2026. If the package does not show after that date, contact your Centre or us.
1.5 I have more than one child. Can I use one account?
- Yes. Enter all your children's Student IDs in one account, separated by commas. One account makes orders easier to track and avoids separate delivery charges.
1.6 Why is my child's Student ID not recognised?
- The Student ID must match the school record and the student must be active. Students who have not re-registered with their Centre will not be recognised. Check that the ID is in the correct A/C/Z field and saved. If it is still not recognised, contact your Centre.
2. Student Packages, Cart & New 2027 Titles
2.1 Why is my child's student package not showing?
- 2027 packages are active from 1 October 2026. Make sure you chose Student Account and the Student ID is in the correct field. If the package still does not show, contact us with the student's name, Student ID and programme.
2.2 Do I have to buy every items in my cart?
- No. There are no compulsory items in the 2027 Student Packages. From 15 October 2026, all items in the package will be unchecked by default. Please tick the items you require before adding them to your cart. We recommend buying through the package to avoid the wrong book, level or language. Individual books can be found with the search bar on the main page.
2.3 Why are old or duplicate items in my cart?
- Items from a past purchase may still be in your cart, and items can double up if you use the Back button while shopping. Before a new purchase, click Clear Cart first, then add items through the Student Package. Do not change quantities manually, as this can make checkout fail. Each Student ID can buy one package only.
2.4 There are books in the package I don't recognise. Are they correct?
- Yes, if the book is in your child's Student Package, it is the correct book list. New and updated books for 2027:
- KBR books – the textbook and workbook are now combined in one book (text at the front, exercises at the back), $8.90 per title.
- Mustalah Hadith – a new title for Diploma students of Andalus, Cordova and Al-Zuhri, $19.70.
- Exercise books – now the same for Andalus and Cordova.
- Removed from 2027 packages (Andalus KBR & KBM 1–4): Al-Quran Perkata (A5) is replaced by Juz Amma Perkata, which is also used for KBK, and the Al-Mawrid Pocket Dictionary (2022 edition) is no longer included. Both can still be bought individually on DIMS while stocks last. If your child already has the Al-Quran Perkata, you do not need to buy the Juz Amma Perkata.
2.5 How do I buy Prasekolah books? Do I buy Semester 2 seperately?
- Prasekolah books are sold per title at $7.50 each. For 2026/2027, Semester 1 books (Aqidah, Akhlak, Intelektual, Jasmani) can be bought now. Semester 2 books (Perhubungan, Kehidupan, Alam Sekitar) are ordered separately once available, with a second delivery charge. They will be available for purchase about 4–6 weeks before Semester 2 starts; the date will be announced through the Centre. From next year, all seven titles will be available during book purchases.
2.6 E-learning, e-portal and LPPI fees are not in the package. How do I pay them?
- From 2027 these fees are no longer paid on DIMS. They are collected directly by the Centre, which will tell you how to pay.
3. Order and Payment
3.1 How do I place an order?
- Please refer to the Purchase Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to place an order.
3.2 Can I make a walk-in purchase or pay directly via PayNow or bank transfer?
- All purchases must be made online at shop.darulandalus.com. Walk-in purchases are not available at our learning centres or warehouse. Payments must be made through the website checkout, as we do not accept direct PayNow transfers or bank transfers to our company account. If you need assistance with online purchases, the staff at your child's learning centre can help you.
3.3 I forgot to add a book or uniform to my order. Can I add it to my existing order to avoid paying delivery charges twice?

- Please place a second order through our website, and delivery charges will apply to the second order. Our delivery charges are based on the weight of the order.
3.4 I do not have PayNow or a PayPal account. Are there other payment options? Can I use Apple Pay?

- Apple Pay and Google Pay are not available at the moment, but we are working on introducing additional payment options.
3.5 I accidentally placed the same order twice. Can I get a refund?
- Orders will be processed as submitted. For duplicate orders placed by customers, we offer exchanges rather than refunds. Please refer to our Exchange, Return & Refund Policy for further details.

3.6 I received a “Payment Failed” message. Do I need to make the payment again?
- Sometimes, a “Payment Failed” message may appear even though the payment was successful. Please do not make another payment or place the order again. Check your Order History and bank statement first.
- If the amount has been deducted from your account but the payment status is still unsuccessful, please email your order number and a screenshot of the payment to dapl-sales@darulandalus.com.

3.7 I have made the payment but have not received a confirmation email, or my order status is still showing as “Pending”.
- Please check your Spam/Junk folder and Order History in your account first. Confirmation emails are generated automatically and cannot be resent. PayPal payments may sometimes take a few days to be verified.
- Please do not make the payment again. Instead, email your order number and proof of payment to dapl-sales@darulandalus.com. We will update your order once the payment has been verified.
3.8 How do I know if my order is successful?

The order confirmation is sent by dapl-sales@darulandalus.com with the subject line "Darul Andalus - Order xxxx", where xxxx represents your order number.

- We seek your kind understanding that our premise operates primarily as a warehouse, where the safety of our employees and customers is our top priority. Warehouse operations are busiest in the mornings, with machinery and goods frequently being moved. Therefore, exchange appointments are scheduled in the afternoons to provide a safer environment for everyone.
