UDM was originally established as Kolej Agama Sultan Zainal Abidin (English: Sultan Zainal Abidin Religious College) or KUSZA on January 27, 1980 under the administration of the Terengganu Religious Affairs Department. KUSZA was made a statutory body with the passing of the Enactment 31/1981 by the Dewan Undangan Negeri of Terengganu.
