History
Widad University College (formerly known as University College Shahputra) began with the establishment of Institut Fitra on December 24, 1997 and was fully owned by the Shahputra Education Sdn Bhd, a private Bumiputera company. TESL and Accounting Matriculation students from UPM are among the first groups of students of the institute, registered in June 1998. Following an increase in the number of students, Institut Fitra moved to an 8 hectares area in Pekan, Pahang.
In mid-2016, University College Shahputra and Kolej Shahputra were rebranded as Widad University College and Widad College respectively.
Following this, on September 19, 2016, Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mua'dzam Shah was installed as the first Chancellor of Widad University College in an inauguration ceremony held in Istana Negara, Kuala Lumpur.
