0:11 Brazil In the name of Allah, the Most 0:48 Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise 0:50 is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. O 0:51 Allah, bestow peace and blessings upon 0:53 our leader Muhammad and upon his family 0:55 . Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy 0:57 and blessings. Brothers and sisters, 1:00 listeners of Silaturahim Radio and 1:02 viewers of Rasul TV, may Allah have 1:03 mercy on you. Praise be to Allah, we 1:07 meet again this Thursday afternoon, the 1:11 20th of Rabiul Akhir 1448 Hijriah, or 1:16 October 1st, 2026. We return to the 1:20 noon lecture program, the Tafsir Ibn 1:23 Kathir study with Ustaz Umar Rasyid 1:25 Hasan, who, thank God, is here with us. 1:29 Let us greet the Ustaz, brothers and 1:30 sisters. Peace be upon you, and Allah's 1:32 mercy and blessings, Ustaz. 1:34 >> Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy 1:35 and blessings. 1:36 >> How are you, Ustaz? Are you healthy? 1:38 >> Praise be to Allah, I am perfectly 1:39 healthy. 1:39 >> Masyaallah. Just arrived from 1:41 Majalengka? 1:42 >> Yes. I returned from Gontor on the 21st 1:46 . 1:48 >> That Monday 1:51 >> there was immediately a lesson on 1:53 inheritance law at the Salman Islamic 1:55 Boarding School in Cirebon. 1:58 >> Oh, in Cirebon. So, you went straight 2:01 to Cirebon on Wednesday? Yes. 2:04 >> Then on Thursday, I opened a one-week 2:08 course on inheritance law at that 2:11 school. Yes. 2:13 >> That's why my voice is a bit 2:15 >> a bit lost. 2:17 >> Masyaallah. 2:18 >> Yes. 2:19 >> Still sticking to bitter coffee? 2:21 >> God willing. God willing. Yes. Bitter 2:23 coffee, God willing, always. 2:24 >> Always. 2:25 >> Yes. Always. 2:26 >> Don't use sugar, Ustaz. No, no sugar. 2:28 But there are some students who 2:31 >> perhaps out of respect, not knowing yet 2:34 , 2:34 >> we are served coffee that already has 2:36 sugar in it. 2:38 >> If I don't drink it, how? If I drink it 2:40 , how? Eventually, rather than wasting 2:43 it, we drink it. 2:44 >> That is with the intention of 2:46 respecting the gift. That's right. 2:48 >> Exactly. 2:49 >> Alright, Ustaz. You went to Gontor 2:51 yesterday, right? 2:52 >> Yes. 2:52 >> Haven't had the chance to hear the 2:54 story here yet, Ustaz. 2:55 >> Please share your experience, Ustaz. 2:56 Yes. Perhaps you could report back, as 3:02 a form of accountability, since 3:06 >> you were absent for the past two weeks, 3:09 right? 3:10 >> Yes. Maybe we will talk a little bit 3:13 about the 100th anniversary of Gontor 3:15 yesterday. 3:16 >> Because it's still fresh. Still very 3:18 fresh. The President came, several 3:21 ministers came, 3:23 >> even the chairman of the MPR. Yes. 3:26 >> The chairman of Muhammadiyah, they all 3:31 came. 3:32 >> Because the alumni have spread 3:34 everywhere. 3:34 >> Yes. Gontor alumni have entered all 3:39 sectors, I think, some in government, 3:44 some as private sector activists. 3:50 Inside and out, it seems we have 3:52 witnessed it together like that. 3:56 >> Yes. 3:57 >> And today, the theme you will present, 3:59 brothers and sisters, is our study 4:00 together of Quran Surah At-Tawbah, 4:02 Ustaz, 4:03 >> verse 122, and this is also related to 4:06 the subtheme: Global Holistic Education 4:10 Program. 4:11 >> Now, what is this "Global Holistic"? 4:13 Maybe some don't know yet. I don't know 4:16 either; maybe you can explain the 4:18 Global Holistic Education Program later 4:20 . 4:22 >> Maybe you can start right away, Ustaz. 4:24 >> Alright. Until what time are we? How 4:26 much time do we have? 4:27 >> Until, um, 4:28 >> an hour or more, right? 4:29 >> An hour or more. 4:30 >> Alright. Yes. Jazakallah khair (May 4:31 Allah reward you with goodness). In the 4:32 name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the 4:33 Most Merciful. Peace be upon you, and 4:35 the mercy and blessings of Allah. All 4:38 praise is due to Allah, Lord of the 4:40 worlds, and the final outcome is for 4:42 the righteous, and let there be no 4:44 hostility except against the wrongdoers 4:46 . There is no god but Allah, the God of 4:48 the first and the last, the Sustainer 4:50 of the heavens and the earth, the 4:52 Master of the Day of Judgment. I bear 4:54 witness that there is no god but Allah, 4:56 alone, with no partner, and I bear 4:58 witness that Muhammad is His servant 5:00 and messenger. O Allah, send prayers 5:02 upon Muhammad and upon his family and 5:03 all his companions. Furthermore, my 5:06 brothers, actually this theme, after we 5:10 praise Allah and send blessings upon 5:12 our Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi 5:15 wasallam, is a theme that is indeed 5:18 identical to the verse we will discuss. 5:23 >> Right? 5:25 >> The verse we will discuss is Surah 5:27 At-Tawbah, verse 122. I have mentioned 5:32 this before in the early days of Rasil, 5:35 and we are also citing this commentary 5:38 from Ibn Kathir rahimahullahu ta'ala. 5:42 This verse reads—I seek refuge in 5:44 Allah from the accursed Satan—but 5:47 naturally, let us first greet the 5:49 congregation. Oh, I almost forgot. I 5:54 hope all listeners and viewers of Rasil 5:57 radio and television are in good health 6:00 and can maintain...the rhythm of their 6:05 lives. Sometimes, because this world is 6:08 , well, sometimes it is upside down. 6:12 What is considered happiness turns out 6:14 to be misery, 6:15 >> what is considered misery turns out to 6:17 be happiness, right? What is considered 6:20 far turns out to be near. And what is 6:23 considered near turns out to be far. 6:25 All sorts of things. 6:26 >> That is the nature of the world. So, I 6:29 kindly ask, what was it called? Please 6:33 also pay attention to the state of our 6:35 lives. My hope is that we pray and it 6:38 is granted by Allah. We want us all to 6:41 be in good health, lacking nothing, and 6:43 ... 6:45 >> in our lives, we are blessed by Allah 6:46 subhanahu wa ta'ala, shaded by the 6:48 mercy and forgiveness of Allah 6:49 subhanahu wa ta'ala. That is our goal. 6:52 And the verse we will study, as I 6:54 mentioned, is in Surah At-Tawbah 122. 6:59 Which is identical to what we 7:01 previously considered as the theme. 7:06 This verse reads—I seek refuge in 7:07 Allah from the accursed Satan. In the 7:09 name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the 7:10 Most Merciful. "It is not for the 7:12 believers to go forth all at once.""For 7:19 there should separate from every 7:21 division of them a group...""...to 7:27 obtain understanding in the religion 7:30 and warn their people when they return 7:34 to them, that they might be cautious." 7:44 The free translation is: "Walal 7:46 mukminun..." It is not appropriate for 7:49 the entirety of the believers to go 7:52 forth in jihad to the battlefield all 7:55 together. "Kaffah" means in its 7:59 entirety. "Fala nafar min kulli firq 8:03 minhum thifatun," it should be... 8:06 However, at least there are some, right 8:10 , some groups of the faithful Muslims 8:13 who do not go to war, but instead 8:16 prepare themselves to be students— 8:20 studying and teaching, that is it— " 8:23 li tafaqquhu fiddin," to study, eh, " 8:27 tafaqquh fiddin," understanding the 8:31 religion. 8:33 >> Understanding religion starts with 8:35 learning, doesn't it? 8:38 >> Understanding the religion, so that 8:42 when their friends who went to jihad 8:46 return to them, they can be given good 8:50 advice and guidance by those who have 8:55 been studying. 8:57 >> Yes. 8:58 >> Perhaps in fighting, some might have 9:00 made mistakes. 9:03 >> Yes, some might have committed acts 9:05 that fall short in terms of religious 9:08 standards. Whereas in jihad, there was 9:12 once a case where the enemy was already 9:15 overpowered and just needed to be 9:18 struck down, right? Then the enemy 9:22 recited "ash-hadu alla ilaha illallah 9:24 wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulullah. 9:26 " But he was still struck down by the 9:28 companion, right? That is a mistake 9:30 that needs to be corrected in this 9:33 verse, right? "Wali-yundiru qawmahum" 9:37 so that those who learn, uh, do a kind 9:43 of, uh, evaluation, right? "E-hiru" the 9:48 people to evaluate, to give, uh, 9:51 religious warnings to their people who 9:55 returned from fighting, uh, "raja'u 9:58 ilaihim la'allahum yahdzarun," so that 10:02 all who joined the war feel, uh, what 10:05 is it called, "yahdzarun," worried 10:08 about useless acts committed during 10:12 that war. Even in war 10:14 >> there are rules. 10:15 >> Yes, there are rules for it, right? 10:17 >> It's impossible for one to kill 10:20 children, or unintentionally kill the 10:23 elderly, or perhaps destroy, uh, 10:25 plantations; those are, uh, things that 10:28 are forbidden in Islam. Now, the " 10:32 ijmali" tafsir—I will just convey the 10:35 global tafsir, Ustaz, because we will 10:38 also be discussing the theme. So, the 10:42 Ibn Kathir tafsir says—these are 10:45 actually just snippets of tafsir, uh, 10:50 this surah "tadullu 'ala annahu la 10:53 yambaghi lil mu'minin." This verse 10:57 illustrates to us that it is not 10:59 fitting— "la yambaghi.""La yambaghi" 11:02 in Arabic means it is not fitting. 11:04 >> It is not 11:05 >> permitted, it is improper. It has many 11:08 meanings, right? "La yambaghi" is not 11:12 fitting for the believers "an yakhruju 11:14 jami'an" jihad "ardil jihad"—it is 11:23 not fitting, it is not proper, for all 11:27 believers to go out to the battlefield 11:32 and leave the Prophet, peace be upon 11:36 him, alone. See, this is the tafsir. 11:41 >> So, for instance, if there are 1,000 11:43 believers, they cannot all go to the 11:45 jihad battlefield, leaving the 11:47 Messenger alone. 11:48 >> Now, it is explained "wa tatrukun 11:51 nabiya shallallahu' alaihi wasallam 11:53 wahdah"—so the Messenger is left by 11:56 them all alone. " 11:58 >> Bal." Now, but it should be "bal yajibu 12:02 an yakhruju juz'un minhum." Uh, "bal," 12:06 however, it is necessary, "yajibu 12:10 juz'un minhum," for a portion of them 12:14 to go out to jihad, "wa yabqa juz'un 12:17 akharu lit-ta'allumi wal-indzar." This 12:22 is the "ijmali" tafsir, 12:25 >> the global one. 12:27 >> However, there must be another portion 12:30 that stays put, right, in one place, in 12:33 Medina. Right, with the Messenger, 12:36 peace be upon him, for what? To learn, 12:40 "lit-ta'allumi" to learn, and to warn. 12:45 If you have already learned, you gain 12:46 knowledge. 12:47 >> Knowledge of what? Yes, knowledge 12:50 related to, uh, behaviors, behaviors of 12:53 life. In normal life, the advice is 12:56 like this. In abnormal life, the advice 12:59 is like that. Is that not so? All of 13:01 that is through learning so that we do 13:04 not wrongly place advice, right, sir, 13:06 which is needed by the community. 13:10 Because now, a lot of advice is like 13:12 this: advice that should be for a 13:13 peaceful time 13:15 >> is instead used as advice for a time of 13:18 crisis. 13:20 >> That doesn't hit the mark. Conversely, 13:23 this advice that is suitable for a time 13:25 of crisis is instead delivered during a 13:27 peaceful time. That also doesn't hit 13:30 the mark, the effect isn't there, yes, 13:33 it's not on target. 13:36 >> So, this is the brief interpretation of 13:38 the verse we are discussing, Surah 13:40 at-Tawbah 122. Now, Ustaz, before 13:44 coming here, you had some thoughts on 13:47 your mind, right? 13:48 >> Yes. First, before I break down those 13:53 thoughts, to all the listeners and 13:56 viewers, and even to, one could say, 14:00 the owners of Rasil, yes, we are only 14:05 here as resource persons, right? 14:08 >> Yes, even though I helped initiate 14:10 various things, I am not the one who 14:12 owns Rasil. As accountability for my 14:17 attendance at the 100th anniversary of 14:21 Gontor, I would first like to express 14:24 my gratitude to Rasil, its CEO, and the 14:28 crew for allowing me to go to Gontor. 14:32 And then, I apologize if this report, 14:37 or rather this takeaway, is a bit late. 14:42 But even until now, subhanallah, that 14:45 event is being covered by various media 14:48 . 14:48 >> That is correct. That is correct. 14:49 >> By various local and international 14:50 outlets, and even 14:53 >> podcasts are popping up everywhere to 14:55 discuss Gontor as well. Because the 14:58 president attended. 14:59 >> Yes. 14:59 >> The president was there at that time. 15:02 Now, the theme that might align with 15:05 the verse earlier, my brothers and 15:08 sisters in faith, is my own expression 15:11 using, well, some English terminology. 15:16 So, the theme we will discuss is the " 15:19 Global Holistic Education Program." It 15:23 turns out that not all educational 15:30 sectors, or what we might call the 15:36 academic world, are doing much with 15:43 this theme. 15:46 >> For example, junior high schools and 15:49 then senior high schools above them. Or 15:53 junior high to vocational high schools, 15:55 which now, perhaps— 15:57 >> perhaps what are they called now? 15:59 >> Vocational, the MK one, right? 16:01 >> SMK (Vocational High School). 16:02 >> Yes, SMK, formerly STM, there is SMK. 16:05 >> And there is SMA, right? Now, after 16:10 much research on educational practices 16:13 around junior and senior high schools 16:17 or vocational schools, not many dare to 16:20 implement this theme, 16:25 >> these types of methods, the "Global 16:28 Holistic Education Program." However, 16:31 there are other breakthroughs to 16:33 approach this theme, namely through 16:34 SDIT (Integrated Islamic Elementary 16:36 Schools). 16:38 >> Yes. 16:38 >> And SMP IT (Integrated Islamic Junior 16:39 High Schools). Are there SMA IT ( 16:40 Integrated Islamic Senior High Schools) 16:41 ? There are, right? 16:41 >> There are. 16:42 >> There are SMA ITs that extend their 16:44 school hours until the afternoon. 16:46 >> Yeah. 16:46 >> Exactly. 16:47 >> So, this is approaching a holistic 16:49 direction. Approaching holism in the 16:53 world of education. However, the 16:57 holistic approach they strive for might 17:00 have similar programs but produce 17:02 different results. 17:05 >> The programs are the same, but the 17:07 results might differ. Because there are 17:11 teachers, and there are educators. 17:14 >> In this theme, both teachers and 17:16 educators will be involved. 17:18 >> Perhaps in junior and senior high 17:21 schools, there are only teachers. 17:23 Uh-huh. 17:24 >> Okay. Regardless of using the term "IT, 17:28 " Integrated Islamic... 17:30 >> Integrated Islamic. 17:31 >> Ah, Integrated Islamic, yes. But what 17:33 we call "educators" are mostly found in 17:35 Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). 17:37 >> Yes, teachers and educators. 17:39 >> Yes. 17:39 >> That is because who do they spend their 17:42 daily lives with? 17:43 >> Educators, you see. 17:44 >> Yes, between teachers, ustadhs, or kyai 17:47 with the students. The students 'daily 17:51 lives are with their teachers, ustadhs, 17:53 or kyai for 24 hours. 17:55 >> Now, for junior or senior high schools, 17:57 it cannot be like that. The boarding 17:59 ones, yes. 17:59 >> Yes, those are the boarding ones, right 18:01 . For IT itself, it doesn't reach that 18:04 level of perfection. 18:07 >> However, as I said earlier, there are 18:09 similar programs but with different 18:11 results. We must all look at the facts. 18:16 >> Right? Looking at the facts and the 18:19 benefits of the presence of holistic 18:23 education for our children. To what 18:27 extent is our shared aspiration—the 18:31 aspiration I mean between parents and 18:35 children—to what extent can we 18:38 achieve it? Now, brothers and sisters 18:41 who are blessed by Allah Subhanahu wa 18:43 ta'ala. Of course, my voice might also 18:47 be heard in Batam. 18:49 >> Or in other Rasil branches. 18:52 >> I actually just want to introduce the 18:54 world of Islamic boarding schools. 18:56 Subhanallahilazim. When I attended the 19:00 100 years of Gontor event yesterday, oh 19:04 my God, it was beyond expectations; I 19:07 thought, as someone who once studied at 19:10 Gontor, it would just be a simple event 19:13 . 19:16 >> I thought it was just for alumni to 19:19 gather, from the same generation. 19:22 Because those generations include some 19:24 from the 50s. 19:25 >> Even some from the 60s. They are 19:27 already quite elderly. Up to those who 19:31 just graduated yesterday in 2024, they 19:33 all gathered. 19:35 >> Yes. Only Allah knows. What I heard was 19:38 that if 12,000 were invited, nearly 19:41 30,000 attended. 19:43 >> That was amazing, it was packed 19:46 yesterday. So, I thought it was an 19:50 ordinary event, but it turned out to be 19:52 extraordinary. Inside, the president 19:55 was present, right? Then several 19:58 ministers from the current Indonesia 20:01 Maju cabinet. 20:04 >> They also came, including the Minister 20:07 of Religious Affairs and some ministers 20:10 close to Mr. Prabowo, they also came. 20:15 Along with other ministers as well. 20:19 Then the leaders of major organizations 20:21 also attended, and all of them—except 20:24 for the president and the current 20:26 ministers—are Gontor graduates. 20:29 >> Hm. 20:30 >> Like that, you know. The ministers, the 20:33 leaders of major organizations, and 20:36 Chairman Din Syamsudin. 20:39 >> Like that. Mr. Hidayat Nurwahid came, 20:43 Mr. Lukman, Lukman Saifuddin—who is 20:46 also my friend from Gontor, from my 20:49 same generation—he came too. 20:54 >> So, brothers and sisters. Why do we 21:00 raise the theme of Global Holistic 21:02 Education with its programs? Because we 21:07 , especially at Gontor boarding school, 21:10 truly utilize those 24 hours. 21:14 >> Hm. 21:15 >> Our daily 24 hours are truly maximized. 21:24 And the Kyai once said this, "If the 21:27 Kyai dies, or' sedo '—' sedo 'is 21:31 Javanese for passing away.""If the Kyai 21:37 passes away, the boarding school must 21:39 not die too." 21:41 >> What? 21:42 >> Kyai passes away, the boarding school? 21:44 >> Right. Yes. If the kiai passes away, 21:46 the Islamic boarding school shouldn't 21:48 die with him, 21:49 >> it must keep going. Now, this is what 21:51 leads to that holistic approach, 21:54 >> let's say, even without the kiai, the 21:56 boarding school must continue to run. 22:00 So, automatically, we have to instill 22:03 that into the 24 hours so that the 22:05 boarding school stays alive, right? 22:09 >> It is managed first by the kiai, then 22:12 by the kiai's assistants, the ustaz. 22:15 There is also a teachers' council there 22:17 , a council of teachers, right? There 22:20 is a teachers 'council there at Gontor, 22:23 there is a teachers' board, and there 22:26 is a student board called the OPPM, the 22:29 organization for students of the modern 22:32 Islamic boarding school. 22:35 >> Everything is regulated. So, for those 22:38 24 hours, there are rules that must be 22:41 followed. Wake up at...Some wake up 22:45 around 3:30 AM before dawn; some pray 22:49 tahajud, some recite the Quran, some do 22:53 dhikr, until the dawn drum beats, 22:56 what's it called? In Sundanese it's " 23:01 derbeduk," the dawn drum, what is it 23:04 called? The drum beats at dawn, then 23:09 they go to the mosque, and after 23:11 leaving the mosque, they return to 23:14 their respective wings to be taught 23:16 vocabulary there. 23:21 >> Yes, vocabulary, the mufradat in Arabic 23:25 and English, it's a daily routine, then 23:29 before breakfast. 23:33 >> Some exercise or split the time between 23:36 exercise and breakfast so they aren't 23:39 late for class. 23:42 >> Back in my day, Ustaz, we were required 23:44 to be in class five minutes before 7:00 23:46 AM sharp. 23:48 >> No matter how busy the students were 23:50 managing their exercise, breakfast, and 23:53 showering, the point is at 6:55...they 23:55 had to be in class. 23:58 >> Strict, 23:59 >> strict, strict. Back in your day, Ustaz 24:01 , was there still a corporal punishment 24:03 system? 24:04 >> Oh, yes. 24:05 >> That is something I actually didn't 24:06 like, honestly. 24:07 >> Not anymore. 24:08 >> Thank God, now perhaps they are also 24:11 afraid of legal cases, right? 24:13 >> Now, they get reported. 24:15 >> Yes, there was a case where a student 24:17 passed away due to bullying at Gontor, 24:18 but the case was resolved properly, 24:20 right? We are worried about things like 24:22 that. Well, back in my time, there was 24:25 still violence in the education system, 24:27 and it seemed like the students felt 24:29 pressured. 24:32 >> And I personally felt like someone who 24:33 was pressured by that violence. 24:36 >> And I did not agree with it. When I was 24:40 studying abroad in Saudi, I even sent a 24:43 letter to Gontor about the methods of 24:46 violence in education; whether the 24:48 advice was accepted or not was up to 24:51 the Gontor management. We shouldn't 24:55 blame them either. 24:56 >> Instead, we are grateful to have gained 24:58 knowledge from Gontor, even if it was a 25:00 grueling process. I have personally, 25:03 yes, I am someone who learned at Gontor 25:07 through that hardship. So, therefore, 25:12 to all the listeners, in holistic 25:15 education, it turns out it depends on 25:18 how successfully we utilize those 24 25:21 hours. As I mentioned earlier, waking 25:26 up at 3:30 or...is that right? Until 25:30 1:00, students must be in school until 25:33 before Dhuhr, then pray. Then after 25:38 Dhuhr prayer, they have lunch; some 25:41 rest until Asr, and some who are behind 25:45 in lessons take*darsul idofi*, which is 25:48 an additional lesson usually held from 25:52 Dhuhr to Asr or Asr to Maghrib. 25:57 >> Or in their spare time to catch up on 26:00 missed lessons; it's very packed, right 26:04 ? 26:04 >> Yes. 26:04 >> Extremely packed, right? 26:05 >> Correct. Well, 26:07 >> Approaching Maghrib, everyone gathers 26:10 at the mosque from Maghrib until Isha 26:14 for recitation; the supervision from 26:17 the teachers 'council is very, very 26:20 strict. Imagine that strictness lasting 26:23 for 6 years. Just imagine, right? It's 26:27 not just strict for a day or two; as 26:29 long as we are students, it is very 26:31 strict. 26:33 >> And that strictness isn't just because 26:35 of discipline, it's not because of the 26:37 harshness of the discipline, but 26:39 ultimately it builds awareness. 26:43 >> Because if you resist, you 26:44 automatically get sanctioned, right? 26:46 >> If someone keeps getting sanctioned as 26:48 a student, eventually they think, " 26:50 Instead of being like this, I have to 26:52 change," and they realize it themselves 26:53 . 26:54 >> Yes. Well. Finally, they realize it 26:56 themselves. 26:56 >> Yes, they form their own awareness. 26:58 Well, that is what happens at Gontor. 27:02 After Isha, they are given time to 27:04 study until 10 o'clock. At night, even. 27:06 >> Uh. 27:08 >> At 10 at night, they sleep, and at 27:11 Gontor, Ustaz, the lights there are 27:15 >> out, except in certain places because 27:19 they still use generator sets. 27:22 >> Oh, a genset. 27:23 >> Two big gensets. A genset at the Komas, 27:25 a genset at the kitchen, A, that's it. 27:29 Mashallah. And it turns out it is very, 27:32 very...perhaps we really should emulate 27:36 Gontor's educational program methods to 27:39 achieve those holistic values. At 27:43 Gontor, various types of sports are 27:45 taught 27:47 >> and offered to the students. There's 27:50 soccer, tennis, ping pong, takraw, 27:55 silat, karate, 27:58 >> there's basketball, and various other 28:00 sports. 28:03 >> Then there's scouts, which build 28:05 character, making them resilient and 28:08 sturdy through activities like camping; 28:11 they go camping, right? They camp in 28:14 the middle of the forest, in the middle 28:16 of rice fields, in the mountains, and 28:18 so on. Then, if I observe it, the 28:21 advantage of Gontor lies in its 28:24 organization. So, the organization is 28:28 ...The organization is managed in such 28:34 a way. Teachers manage teachers. 28:39 >> Teachers among teachers. 28:41 >> Managing teachers. 28:41 >> Yes, among the students. It's through 28:45 the student organization where the Kiai 28:48 oversees the teachers, and the Kiai 28:51 oversees the teachers, right? And then 29:00 The Kiai oversees the teachers and the 29:01 students. Okay. The teachers oversee 29:04 the students. Students manage 29:06 themselves to become mature through 29:08 what? Through the organization. So, as 29:12 far as I know, Ustaz, there is a guest 29:15 reception department. 29:18 >> So, guests coming from anywhere are 29:19 received by this department. They ask, 29:21 "Ma'am, would you like to see a student 29:22 ?""Yes, what's their name?" So-and-so. 29:24 Announced at the mosque. 29:27 >> Well, there is a section called Kismul 29:30 Iklam. Uh, the information department. 29:33 Back in Indonesia, we used to have a 29:34 Minister of Information, Harmoko, right 29:36 ? 29:37 >> Yes. Well, all information is disclosed 29:40 by what's called Kismul Iklam. The 29:42 information section at the mosque. 29:44 Usually after Maghrib to Isha, uh, 29:46 after Maghrib, that's for the 29:48 information. Then, there is Kismul Aman 29:52 , which is the security section that 29:54 the students really dislike and fear. 29:59 There is, uh, Kismut Taklim, the 30:02 teaching section, right, and there is a 30:05 kitchen section, Kism Matbakh, right, 30:08 Matbakh is the kitchen. 30:11 >> Uh, there is also the scout section, 30:13 Kasyafah, earlier. 30:14 >> Uh, scouts or Kasyafah. 30:16 >> Kasyafah. 30:16 >> Uh, there is, yes, the Bufiah, Bufiah 30:19 is like a canteen, like a student 30:22 cooperative that sells whatever the 30:25 students need, and there is also Qismul 30:29 Lughah, the language court section, the 30:32 section that...handles, what do you 30:36 call it, language violations. 30:39 >> Those who speak languages other than 30:41 Arabic or English are reported to this 30:43 court and... 30:44 >> It's complete, right? 30:45 >> Yes. And Ustaz Umar was among those who 30:47 most frequently went to the language 30:48 court. Why? Well, maybe because of what 30:51 ...But what I felt was, language 30:57 eventually...because one of the 30:59 sanctions when we entered the language 31:02 court, we had to memorize the Quran, 31:05 say two surahs. 31:09 >> Or three surahs, and the next day, 31:11 present them, or write an essay in 31:14 Arabic or English. Oh, that was 31:16 sometimes brain-draining. We already 31:19 had to study 13, 14, or up to 17 31:22 subjects in one day. Plus, we had to 31:25 write essays. When did you write them? 31:26 At night before sleeping. Ah, that. So, 31:32 essentially, all those organizational 31:34 sections were run by the students 31:36 themselves. 31:38 >> Yeah. 31:38 >> Guided by the board of teachers. The 31:40 school council earlier. 31:41 >> Yes. Now, the students and the board of 31:43 teachers were supervised and directed 31:45 by the Kiai. 31:47 >> That's 24 hours, my son. 31:50 >> During the time Ustaz was there for 6 31:51 years, yes, 6 years, 24 hours. 31:54 >> I got used to those 6 years. 6 years, 31:56 with 24 hours being like that. Allahu 32:00 Akbar. This is what you call, even if 32:05 it is, a breakthrough whose value we 32:08 find extraordinary. This is actually 32:12 the holistic value. Yeah. 32:13 >> Right? It's not 100%perfect, but this 32:18 is truly the holistic approach achieved 32:20 by the educational world in Gontor, so 32:23 like it or not, we have to admit it 32:25 because we have experienced living in 32:28 Gontor Islamic Boarding School 32:30 ourselves. Now, back to the subject, 32:33 the world of Islamic boarding schools 32:35 was once, uh, in a slump in the past 32:37 years, right? 32:39 >> So the boarding school managers were on 32:42 edge. 32:43 >> That. True. We were very anxious. 32:45 >> Yes. 32:47 >> Especially when there were 32:49 irresponsible individuals who were 32:51 labeled as boarding school managers. 32:55 >> Yes, the Kiais who indecently treated 32:58 the female students. 33:00 >> Right, what happened in, in Jepara, uh, 33:03 in Pati. 33:04 >> Pati. 33:04 >> Yes, in Pati, right. That, that doesn't 33:07 need to be retold, it was horrifying. 33:10 We felt a bit, what, resentful, annoyed 33:12 , like that. Not to mention the 33:15 individuals in Garut, right, in Bandung 33:17 the other day, it was truly 33:19 heartbreaking to hear that, right? But 33:22 even so, if we look at the percentage, 33:25 from approximately 28,000 Islamic 33:27 boarding schools, the incidents in Pati 33:30 , Jepara, Garut, or Bandung are clearly 33:33 just the actions of a few individuals. 33:35 >> Only a few percent, right? Yes, just a 33:37 small fraction, but that is enough to 33:40 make 33:40 >> the world of Islamic boarding schools 33:42 reflect on itself. 33:44 >> Especially the clerics who feel quite 33:46 anxious, right? Oh, we must not be 33:48 painted with the same brush, you know. 33:49 Well, brothers and sisters. Now, with 33:52 what happened yesterday uh not a 33:56 celebration, actually, it was a 33:57 thanksgiving. A thanksgiving. 33:59 >> So, the Kyai called it a thanksgiving. 34:01 The thanksgiving for Gontor's 100th 34:04 anniversary, in my personal opinion, is 34:07 enough to answer the decline of Islamic 34:10 boarding schools caused by those 34:12 individuals earlier. 34:15 >> So, the decline of the boarding schools 34:17 is due to the actions of individuals, 34:18 not a global issue. So it shouldn't be 34:21 generalized. Alhamdulillah, in my 34:24 personal view, it is a sufficient 34:26 response to revive the world of Islamic 34:29 boarding schools through yesterday's 34:31 centenary event. 34:33 >> Yes. 34:33 >> Ah. Oh, this is the cure, right? This 34:36 is what we have been waiting for. 34:39 >> Because the speaker was the presid— 34:42 >> the president, with words that were so 34:45 inspiring about Indonesia's future. It 34:49 must be fought for by the students. Wow 34:52 , the students, right? Uh, in my 34:57 personal opinion, this is a review that 34:59 , if we look at it, is enough to 35:01 address the decline of the boarding 35:04 schools due to those individuals 35:06 earlier. Now, yesterday we also felt— 35:10 oh my God, the Kyai was extraordinary, 35:13 truly extraordinary, Kyai. 35:15 >> Yes. Okay, that was extraordinary. And 35:17 also when 35:18 >> We still have a little time left, right 35:20 ? 35:21 >> When Mr. Prabowo arrived, wow, that was 35:24 amazing, he stepped down from the 35:26 helicopter and then got into a Maung 35:30 vehicle. 35:31 >> Hm. 35:31 >> Right? A Maung car made by Pindad, 35:33 right? 35:34 >> Yes. 35:34 >> Yes, made by Pindad. Wow, it was a jeep 35:37 . 35:38 >> Wow, greeted by the students on the 35:40 left and right sides of the road. Oh, 35:42 Mr. Bro, Mr. Bro. In short, he finally 35:47 entered the room, the room called BPPM. 35:52 BPPM Hall, the Modern Islamic Boarding 35:56 School Education Hall. It was an 36:00 auditorium. 36:01 >> Auditorium. 36:02 >> That auditorium, we entered. 36:05 >> It was spacious. 36:06 >> Spacious, it could hold—maybe a 36:09 capacity of up to 5,000. 36:11 >> 5,000. 4 to 5,000, the Kyai said so 36:14 yesterday. If it were on the veranda, 36:17 it could probably hold more. 36:19 >> Now, until today, what I still feel 36:22 today, uh the personality of the Ustadz 36:28 , even though the Ustadz has been 36:30 preaching for about 22 years since 36:32 returning from Saudi, 36:35 >> I have been preaching for 20—if I'm 36:38 not mistaken, 23 years. 36:40 >> Specifically preaching, yes. Not, not 36:42 just looking for money, so to speak. 36:44 Because back then, the Ustadz once only 36:46 looked for money, not preaching. 36:48 >> Some time ago, I only preached and 36:50 didn't look for money. Now, after 36:54 seeing such imbalances, the Ustadz 36:56 changed, changed the way of facing this 36:59 life. Oh yes, if so, I must earn money 37:02 and I must preach. Well, in that way, 37:05 Ustaz has felt it for almost 23 years. 37:08 >> Yes. Now, when I listened yesterday to 37:14 the explanation by the Gontor Kiai, 37:17 K.H. Hasan Abdullah Sahal, regarding " 37:21 carmuk" or seeking favor. I see Mr. Pak 37:26 Pahri is also watching, yes. What did 37:28 he say? I, Ustaz, will, so to speak, 37:31 quote his expression. He said it was 37:36 from September, right. "When Mr. 37:42 Prabowo said to me,' September, 37:44 September, September, 'my mind went to 37:47 Mr. Prabowo, Mr. Prabowo, right." The 37:52 Kiai said that, and everyone applauded 37:55 and laughed, feeling entertained. Then 38:01 he said, "What if Mr. Prabowo hadn't 38:03 attended today?""Haah, this is it," he 38:07 said, "where would I put my face?" 38:11 That's how we, as former students there 38:13 , felt. Oh, that's true too. This kind 38:16 of thing, Ustaz himself once met Mr. 38:21 Harto, right. 38:23 >> Yes. 38:23 >> Right. Then from '79 to '85, I met 38:28 several heads of state and ministers, 38:31 right. Oh, it felt just like that. 38:36 >> Extraordinary. 38:38 >> So when the Kiai said, "What if Mr. 38:40 Prabowo hadn't come today?""Oh, this is 38:44 it," he said, "where would I put my 38:47 face?" Everyone laughed again. "I'd be 38:50 forced to seek favor with the president 38:52 ." Now, this is what was finally 38:55 discussed by the media. And now, it's 38:58 such a phenomenon, isn't it, people 39:00 seeking favor, which the Kiai mentioned 39:03 because many are doing it now. Okay, 39:06 it's like it's really true. If you 39:09 don't have a diploma, you look for a 39:11 diploma. It's even being questioned. If 39:14 you don't have money, you look for 39:16 money, meaning in illegal ways, right. 39:18 If you don't have a position, you look 39:20 for a position. Including those who 39:22 have no face, they must seek a face. Oh 39:25 , this was purely brought up by the 39:27 media. 39:28 >> Correct. 39:28 >> It was. 39:29 >> That was a subtle satire. Satire. Well, 39:32 I feel the Kiai had no intention to 39:35 satirize, but that was his rhetoric in 39:38 expressing his feelings. And if he is 39:42 called brave, well, a Kiai indeed 39:44 should not be a coward. He must be 39:47 brave in everything, 39:49 >> in front of anyone. 39:50 >> Yes. In every way, in front of anyone, 39:54 right. But that nature is not hatred. H 39:58 >> Would a Kiai hate? He even invited him 40:00 to have lunch. What's even more 40:04 impressive from our Kiai's expression 40:08 is that I am proud and grateful; this 40:12 K.H. Hasan, I used to have an adoptive 40:15 father who was in Egypt with him. Yes. 40:20 >> Before I went to Gontor, I was educated 40:22 by this adoptive father, who was also 40:24 named Hasan. The same one, Makmun Hasan 40:27 and Hasan Abdullah. Mr. Makmun Hasan 40:31 was a friend who was in Egypt at the 40:33 same time. 40:34 >> Yes, when I went to Gontor, my foster 40:37 father wrote a letter. "Uh, give this 40:41 to Mr. Hasan, this is from me," said my 40:43 foster father in Ponorogo, when I went 40:45 to Gontor before I became a student, 40:47 while I was still a prospective student 40:49 , that letter was delivered to Mr. 40:51 Hasan Abdullah Sahal. What was in it? 40:54 God knows best. Right? Well, even more 40:58 for us who have been in Gontor is the 41:01 expression of the Kyai who said, "Uh, I 41:04 will say to the President and it may be 41:07 witnessed." Did you see it, son? "If my 41:13 food, if my drink, if the clothes I 41:16 wear, if my house, if my vehicle is 41:19 more than the food, more than the 41:22 clothes of the students, I may be 41:25 criticized." Have you ever heard it? 41:29 >> Well, it can be criticized. Even 41:33 repeated, I repeat, if my food, my 41:36 clothes, you know, my vehicle, my work 41:40 exceeds that of the active students, I 41:45 may be criticized, may be, uh, what is 41:49 it, after the criticism, uh, eventually 41:53 I may be protested. That is 41:58 extraordinary. 42:00 >> For today's era, right? Well, if only 42:04 everyone understood the Kyai's rhetoric 42:07 . Oh, I think for our national scale, 42:11 God willing, there would be many 42:12 changes. 42:14 >> For, for, uh, sustainability, yes. I 42:18 think there would be many changes. 42:20 >> You know. Especially Mr. Prabowo. Wow, 42:25 it seemed as if Mr. Prabowo's mimics 42:28 were responded to by all the students 42:31 and those present at that time. Mr. 42:36 Prabowo himself was extraordinary, 42:40 saying that he said Indonesia in the 42:43 future must be led by students, yes, 42:47 not only Gontor, yes, students, and 42:50 maybe there will be Gontor's stamp. In 42:55 fact, Mr. Prabowo is not playing around 42:57 , you know. Regarding when the 43:01 Palestinian ambassador was mentioned, 43:03 we all applauded. Uh, we all applauded. 43:08 In the end, what? What was Mr. Prabowo 43:12 draped with? 43:14 >> Uh, a scarf. 43:15 >> Palestine. 43:16 >> Palestine. Wow, they were hugging. 43:19 Until Mr. Prabowo said, "Free, free 43:21 Palestine, free Palestine." Allahu 43:27 Akbar. Free Palestine. It was 43:30 boisterous in that BPPM. That Pondok 43:34 Pesantren Meeting Hall was, uh, 43:36 amazingly thundering. And many of us 43:39 cried at that time when Mr. Prabowo 43:42 said free Palestine, we followed with 43:45 free Palestine, independent, like that. 43:48 Well, this is brothers and sisters who 43:50 are blessed by Allah, listeners of 43:52 Rasil and viewers of Rasil television 43:54 wherever you are. Uh, the theme that is 43:58 perhaps, uh, not perfect is the story 44:01 about the Global Holistic Education, uh 44:04 , program. It turns out this nation is 44:09 currently taking such methods. 44:15 >> These holistic education program 44:17 methods are being taken and fought for 44:19 by international education experts. 44:22 >> h 44:23 >> Especially Europe and America. 44:25 >> Yes. 44:26 >> Correct. That's why Ustaz said this 44:29 global holistic education program has 44:31 gone global. Whereas Gontor has applied 44:34 this since when? Since its 44:36 establishment. What year was Gontor 44:38 established, try to guess? 44:39 >> 1926, right? 44:39 >> Yes. 1926. It means that regarding this 44:43 holistic education program, Gontor has 44:46 been applying it since 1926. As for 44:50 combining it later, or shall we say, 44:52 mutually refining the program, that is 44:54 a different matter. But this program 44:57 has been championed since Gontor was 44:59 established. Now, today, this holistic 45:03 education program is going to go 45:05 worldwide, it's going global. 45:07 >> So, that is why today’s title is 45:09 based on the verse, Surah At-Taubah 45:11 verse 122. I think this verse, I am 45:13 quoting from this verse 45:16 >> we must make this holistic education 45:19 program a global, worldwide program. 45:23 Why? Because if we look at Europe alone 45:26 , 45:27 >> where the Muslim population is 45:29 increasing day by day, 45:30 >> continuously growing, 45:31 >> to shape a generation of European 45:33 Muslims using the*pesantren*(Islamic 45:35 boarding school) methods, they will 45:37 inevitably have to come learn in 45:38 Indonesia. H 45:41 >> on how to utilize 24 hours in the 45:43 education of Muslims in Europe. 45:47 Likewise in America, and in America we 45:49 already have our brother, Ustaz Shamsi 45:51 Ali. 45:52 >> Ali. 45:52 >> He has, if I'm not mistaken, 11 or 13 45:55 hectares in New York. 45:56 >> He has established an Islamic boarding 45:58 school called Pesantren Nusantara. 46:01 >> He has been here often before and has 46:03 been our contributor, right? 46:05 >> Ustaz Shamsi Ali. 46:06 >> Yes. 46:07 >> He is our contributor, and I am 46:09 grateful that when he came to Indonesia 46:11 , my child accompanied him everywhere, 46:13 that was my son-in-law, alhamdulillah. 46:16 So, the point is, brothers, whether in 46:18 Australia, Europe, America, or even in, 46:20 what do you call it? Africa itself, for 46:25 those who want their Muslim community 46:27 to receive holistic education, right. 46:31 If it's holistic, it means 46:33 comprehensive, Son. 46:35 >> No. These students shouldn't just get 46:37 knowledge applied at their schools. 46:40 >> Yes. 46:41 >> But how they truly master their time. 46:45 Therefore, to master that time, they 46:49 study, and they use that available time 46:53 for what? For various other forms of 46:57 life disciplines, sports, scouting. 47:01 Even back when I was at Gontor, I was 47:06 part of the honor guard group. 47:11 >> Hm. What is that? Let me tell you. The 47:15 honor guard is a limited, select group 47:18 of people, 47:20 >> maybe between 40 or 30 something. 47:23 >> They are chosen. 47:24 >> They are chosen based on their stature, 47:26 being quite tall, Ustaz. Like 175cm. 47:30 >> According to the Kiai, oh, this one is 47:33 suitable to be an elite troop. An honor 47:37 guard. Including Mr. Lukman Saifuddin, 47:40 the former Minister of Religious 47:41 Affairs, he was in the same rank as me. 47:44 He entered in the same year, 1979. Yes. 47:48 Wait, he entered in 1982 if I'm not 47:51 mistaken. As for me, it was '79 because 47:54 he was an experimental 4-year program. 47:57 Yes, he was also included in that honor 48:00 guard. What is its function? Its 48:04 function is to serve as a guard to 48:06 honor guests. And if we have received 48:11 information from the Kiai that in 4 or 48:13 5 days there will be major guests A, B, 48:16 C, D, we no longer need to wait for 48:18 orders. 48:21 >> Our leader, the leader of the squad, is 48:24 the one who works hard. 48:26 >> Yes. 48:27 >> Yes, for a few days of training, as 48:29 long as we knew the locations and where 48:32 the visits would be, we accompanied the 48:34 guests, and eventually, the honor guard 48:37 was actually chosen from the POTs. POT 48:40 is the name for the scout troop units. 48:45 >> There is POT 1, POT 3, POT 5, and so on 48:48 . I was the head of POT 1 myself. 48:51 >> The name is Bindep, the leader of the 48:53 scout unit, that was POT 1. Well, the 48:57 others, POT 3 and so on, helped build a 48:59 person's character to be self-confident 49:01 . 49:02 >> Yes. How could we not be? We were in 49:07 front, and the self-confidence was 49:09 extraordinary; we weren't allowed to 49:11 look left or right when we were, what 49:13 was it, in that honor guard. But we had 49:19 to truly master the situation. 49:23 >> Next to us were high-ranking officials. 49:27 Next to us were ministers we were 49:29 escorting. Next to us was the president 49:33 , next to us were ambassadors from 49:35 other countries. That was when I 49:37 personally experienced how powerful 49:39 Gontor's education was on one's 49:41 personality. 49:42 >> Exactly. Now, this is among the things, 49:45 brothers in faith, that I feel I must 49:48 be grateful for. That is why, 49:52 alhamdulillah, I am not arrogant but 49:54 very grateful, even though I once 49:56 studied there. As for the completeness 50:01 of gaining other knowledge, it doesn't 50:03 mean Gontor provides 100%of everything. 50:05 No. We are only given the keys. What 50:09 are the keys? Arabic and English. 50:12 That's why it's no wonder that Gontor 50:15 graduates become ambassadors, 50:17 entrepreneurs, government officials, or 50:20 study abroad, and there are even those 50:23 who become entrepreneurs overseas; 50:25 it’s not surprising. Why? Because 50:29 they already have the foundation, the 50:31 language keys. Language is mandatory, 50:33 right? 50:33 >> Yes, it is mandatory. Even if there is 50:36 a violation, like earlier, they go to 50:38 language court to be given advice and 50:41 >> given guidance. Yes, I personally feel 50:45 grateful that after Gontor, in year 5, 50:47 I was able to study in Malaysia, right? 50:51 Although only for 1 year taking 50:53 economics. After returning, 50:55 alhamdulillah, even after getting 50:57 married and having two children, I had 50:59 the opportunity to study in Riyadh, the 51:01 capital of Saudi Arabia. That is 51:04 something to be grateful for. 51:05 >> Indeed. And upon returning, 51:06 alhamdulillah, I didn't become 51:08 unemployed. Even though I was older, I 51:13 had the dream of building a boarding 51:16 school, and Allah granted my wish to 51:18 own one. Even though I am now 64 years 51:22 old, I have a boarding school in 51:25 Majalengka. Majalengka. 51:27 >> That is it. 51:27 >> And it is still in the process, yes. 51:28 >> Yes, still in the process. Hopefully, 51:30 the students will, God willing, start 51:32 arriving. 51:34 >> Ah, that’s all. Now, Pakri, perhaps 51:36 in terms of...In terms of what you call 51:41 ...Explicitly, the theme of this Global 51:47 Holistic Education Program is left 51:50 entirely to the listeners because each 51:53 of us has different experiences. Some 51:58 have studied at Gontor, some have 52:00 studied at... 52:02 >> Boarding schools run by Gontor alumni. 52:05 Or at boarding schools that have no 52:07 connection to Gontor or its alumni, 52:10 like Tebu Ireng or Ploso; that is a 52:12 common thing. However, we must have a 52:16 unified yet separate system in 52:18 responding to conditions. All students, 52:22 all teachers, and all clerics must 52:24 agree that matters of improvement, 52:26 ethics, and morality are their 52:28 responsibility. Okay. Even so, the 52:31 difference between Islamic boarding 52:34 schools, whether they have a connection 52:37 with Gontor or not, we must remain 52:39 united. 52:40 >> Yes. 52:41 >> We must stay united in educating the 52:43 nation's children toward a better 52:45 direction so that this country becomes 52:48 just as praised by President Prabowo 52:50 yesterday; Indonesia will, masyaallah, 52:53 be a strong country when supported by 52:55 the students. He even said that leading 52:58 this country should come from Islamic 53:00 boarding schools. If that becomes a 53:03 prayer answered by Allah, it is not 53:05 impossible that in 20XX the president 53:07 will be a former student. 53:09 >> Ah, that’s not impossible, is it? And 53:11 that was President Prabowo’s prayer. 53:14 >> And it was echoed with "amen" by all 53:15 the students and officials present. It 53:18 means it is not impossible in 20XX for 53:20 ministers to mostly come from boarding 53:22 >> schools. 53:23 >> For a governor to mostly come from 53:25 boarding schools. And so on, brothers 53:27 in faith. That is all that I, the Ustaz 53:30 , can provide this afternoon. May it be 53:34 understood. May it be understood, and 53:37 if anyone has questions, don't make 53:39 them too difficult, as it's just about 53:42 sharing what was learned from Gontor. 53:45 Only Allah knows the truth. 53:47 >> God willing. 53:48 >> Alright, let's take a break first, 53:49 Ustaz. Yes, I'd like to ask something. 53:51 >> But remember, the verse was Surah 53:53 at-Taubah 122. This is just a snippet 53:57 from that verse. Yeah. 53:59 >> Right, we are waiting for your messages 54:00 at 0811999720. For those who want to 54:05 ask, comment, or share their 54:06 experiences at Islamic boarding schools 54:07 , you can share them later. Stay with 54:09 us, brothers. Radio Rasil, for the one 57:16 Islam. Still with us, brothers, in the 57:18 afternoon lecture program, an Ibn 57:20 Kathir exegesis study with Ustaz Umar 57:22 Rasid Hasan. We previously studied 57:26 Quran Surah at-Taubah verse 122 with 57:28 the sub-theme "Global Holistic 57:30 Education Program," and also shared, 57:32 Ustaz, regarding Gontor. Gontor Islamic 57:35 Boarding School. 57:36 >> Yes. 57:36 >> One of the very old boarding schools, 57:39 right? 57:40 >> 100 years. 57:41 >> 100 years. Masyaallah. There are 57:43 actually older ones, really. Among them 57:45 , the one in East Java, in Gresik, is 57:48 actually older. 57:49 >> Masyaallah. 57:51 >> There are also comments already coming 57:53 in, Ustaz, via the Rasil WhatsApp at 57:55 0811999720. Mrs. Hajah Syaidah is also 58:00 listening, yes. Thank you, Ustaz, 58:02 regarding 58:03 >> alhamdulillah 58:04 >> what is it called, Gontor boarding 58:05 school. It turns out 58:06 >> it is a month for Gontor alumni, right 58:08 Ustaz? Also listening is Mr. 58:14 >> Ali, yes. Alhamdulillah. 58:17 >> Mrs. Mani, Mrs. Suratmi, Mr. Nurdin. 58:21 >> Mr. 58:23 >> Nur, Mr. Nur, yes, also Mr. Bambang and 58:25 Mrs. Astuti. 58:27 >> And also this comment from Eyang Sri, 58:29 yes. 58:29 >> Always Eyang Sri, masyaallah, may 58:31 everyone be in good health, including 58:33 Eyang Sri. 58:35 >> Amen, this also comments, hopefully, 58:37 Gontor alumni who become officials will 58:39 be trusted officials. 58:44 >> Alumni who become officials, may they 58:46 be trustworthy. Ahah. This must be 58:48 listened to by all officials who are 58:50 Gontor graduates. Don't embarrass the 58:52 alma mater. 58:53 >> Yes. Don't embarrass the alma mater and 58:56 friends. 58:58 >> Allah, yes. That is because the 58:59 temptations are huge, isn't that right, 59:00 Ustaz? 59:00 >> Yes. 59:01 >> The temptations are huge when becoming 59:02 an official. Uh. Masyaallah. 59:03 >> Oh, surely. Hmm. 59:06 >> Mr. Sandi Wiriyat Tami is also 59:08 listening in. 59:09 >> Yeah. 59:10 >> All right. There is a question that 59:13 came in from Mr. Deni, Ustaz. Peace be 59:15 upon you and Allah's mercy and 59:16 blessings, Ustaz. 59:17 >> And peace be upon you and Allah's mercy 59:18 and blessings. 59:19 >> Why is education today not enough just 59:22 to form children who are intellectually 59:25 smart? 59:25 >> Yes. 59:26 >> Why is that, Ustaz? 59:28 >> Yes, we will answer that and repeat it 59:31 later if I forget. Right? First, I will 59:37 look at that sharing earlier that, uh, 59:40 what was it first? 59:44 >> Officials. 59:44 >> Yes. Regarding the officials, as I said 59:47 earlier, do not be an embarrassment. 59:49 >> Yes. Do not be an embarrassment. 59:51 >> To our friends, the Gontori, let's call 59:53 them Gontori. 59:54 >> Oh, Gontori. The term. 59:55 >> Gontori is the term for friends who 59:58 were once at Gontor. 1:00:00 >> Whether they graduated or did not 1:00:01 graduate? It is the same. 1:00:03 >> Because "alumni" does not necessarily 1:00:05 mean graduated in its true meaning. 1:00:08 >> In English, the meaning of alumni is 1:00:10 anyone who has been at an institution, 1:00:11 even if they did not graduate, they can 1:00:13 be called alumni. It is better if they 1:00:15 graduated. Now, 1:00:18 >> to all the friends who were once at 1:00:20 Gontor and then became officials, this 1:00:22 is important to discuss. 1:00:26 >> Yes. 1:00:26 >> And it is important to remind one 1:00:28 another. Because Gontor students today 1:00:32 are struggling across many political 1:00:34 parties. 1:00:36 >> H 1:00:37 >> Right, in PDI there are many Gontor 1:00:39 students. Don't think yes, in PDI there 1:00:43 are many Gontor students. In Gerindra 1:00:45 there are Gontor students. Especially 1:00:49 in PKS, PPP, like Mr. Lukman Saifudin 1:00:51 in PPP. Yes, our ambassador too, Ajar, 1:00:56 a child of a Gontor leader, is also in 1:00:58 PPP, a close friend of that professor. 1:01:02 That one. So, across parties, there are 1:01:05 also others; in the Ummat Party, there 1:01:09 are also Gontor students with Mr. Amien 1:01:12 Rais; I also received an invitation to 1:01:15 attend the launch of the Ummat Party in 1:01:18 Yogyakarta. But I didn't have time then 1:01:22 . Now, the point is, Gontori friends 1:01:25 who have been entrusted to take care of 1:01:28 the community, from this ministry or 1:01:30 that ministry. Even the Minister of 1:01:33 Agriculture, Mr. Amran Sulaiman, his 1:01:36 child is from Gontor. 1:01:38 >> Yes. So, Mr. Amran Sulaiman, if he 1:01:40 makes a mistake, his child will give 1:01:43 him advice. So this is an opportunity 1:01:48 for us to provide some positive life 1:01:52 direction for officials who are Gontor 1:01:56 alumni. First, maintain honesty. Second 1:02:01 , look after the alma mater, right? Do 1:02:06 not be an embarrassment. Because if we 1:02:09 mention them one by one, it's difficult 1:02:11 because there are so many. At the very 1:02:15 least, the General Chairman of 1:02:17 Muhammadiyah, a very large organization 1:02:20 with hundreds of trillions of rupiah. 1:02:23 Oh, that's amazing. And the largest and 1:02:27 wealthiest organization in the world is 1:02:29 Muhammadiyah. Like that. I give a moral 1:02:33 message to our friends who are serving 1:02:35 and are from Gontor, guard your honesty 1:02:37 , and carry out your mandate as well as 1:02:40 possible. Do not betray that mandate in 1:02:44 the midst of today's chaotic and messy 1:02:47 times. The wrong becomes right. Isn't 1:02:51 that true? The right becomes 1:02:53 >> wrong. 1:02:54 >> The treacherous are trusted. Those who 1:02:58 should be trusted are betrayed. Many 1:03:02 make false promises. There is never any 1:03:06 proof. This is a real problem, you know 1:03:10 . Nowadays, the government is very hard 1:03:13 to trust. They are fond of betraying. 1:03:18 Don't let the children of Gontor fall 1:03:20 into that zone. The question arises, 1:03:24 what were you in Gontor for? Right? 1:03:27 >> If that's the case, don't even go to 1:03:29 Gontor, it's shameful. It is important 1:03:32 for us to convey this to our friends 1:03:35 who have become officials, for what? So 1:03:39 they remember the identity instilled by 1:03:42 Gontor, and Gontor instills honesty. Oh 1:03:45 , it's extraordinary. Instilling that 1:03:49 you shouldn't be a traitor, you must be 1:03:50 honest, trustworthy, fair, that is 1:03:52 extraordinary. Then the second question 1:03:56 earlier, how was it, son? The question 1:03:59 earlier 1:04:01 >> why is education today not enough just 1:04:03 to form children who are intellectually 1:04:04 smart? 1:04:05 >> Yes. Why is it that now education is 1:04:09 not enough to just rely on the child 1:04:11 being, uh, smart 1:04:13 >> intellectually? 1:04:14 >> Intellectually only. Now, like this, I 1:04:18 will quote the story of a great kiai 1:04:20 saying, educate children to be smart 1:04:26 >> and righteous. How about the smart 1:04:29 children? The way to educate smart 1:04:31 children 1:04:32 >> and righteous. 1:04:34 >> This leads to intellectuality. 1:04:36 >> Correct. 1:04:37 >> Correct. That is easier compared to 1:04:42 educating children who are smart but 1:04:44 not yet righteous. 1:04:48 >> Look at this sentence, the difference 1:04:49 is slight, you know. Educating smart 1:04:52 and righteous children is easy. 1:04:56 >> Everyone would want to go there, that's 1:04:57 what they want. Which parent wouldn't 1:05:00 want the privilege of this sentence? 1:05:03 That's it. And for education managers, 1:05:06 whether in public or in boarding 1:05:08 schools, it feels helpful and easy 1:05:12 >> to educate smart and righteous children 1:05:14 , it is easy. It means like this, the 1:05:18 child is already known to be smart, 1:05:20 righteous, respects the teacher, and 1:05:22 has good morals, right? Given advice, 1:05:27 accepts advice, directed to walk on the 1:05:29 path directed by the kiai. Humble, not 1:05:32 "humb-duit"(knowing the color of money) 1:05:34 . There is "humb-duit," knowing the 1:05:39 color of money. He is willing to be 1:05:43 advised, this is what is expected by 1:05:45 guardians and teachers. 1:05:48 >> True, that is what is expected, yes. 1:05:49 Yes. Because parents entrust their 1:05:52 children to the boarding school to 1:05:53 become these things, to become smart 1:05:55 and good children. That is ideally as I 1:06:00 said earlier. Now, why is it not enough 1:06:04 just to make the child intellectually 1:06:06 capable? That is not enough. Without 1:06:10 values called noble character, those 1:06:14 intellectual values can be disputed. 1:06:19 What will they become without morals? 1:06:22 >> Now, this is what makes it easier for 1:06:24 us educators because in Gontor there 1:06:26 are teachers and educators. There are 1:06:28 teachers plus educators, right? Now, 1:06:31 >> it is different when teaching anything 1:06:34 to our students who are smart but not 1:06:36 yet right 1:06:37 >> eous. 1:06:39 >> Try it, the child is smart but an 1:06:41 alcoholic, that's not right. The child 1:06:45 is smart but likes to gamble. The 1:06:47 pocket money from his father is used 1:06:49 for gambling. Capital for gambling. 1:06:52 Many children today are smart, but once 1:06:54 they leave home, they go dating. 1:06:57 Picking up their girlfriends and taking 1:06:59 them around on their motorcycles. Right 1:07:03 ? 1:07:04 >> This means it will be difficult for us 1:07:08 as educators, and parents will feel 1:07:11 disappointed, why? Because their 1:07:15 children, entrusted to institutions 1:07:17 like boarding schools, are not being 1:07:19 raised well by the cleric or the 1:07:20 teacher. Why? Because they are only 1:07:23 smart. Okay, ready to be intellectuals. 1:07:27 Okay. But they are not right in their 1:07:31 behavior. 1:07:33 >> We are once again challenged by this 1:07:36 kind of condition. Ideally, we want to 1:07:41 educate children who are smart plus 1:07:44 right. 1:07:46 >> Right. 1:07:46 >> Right. And this is our challenge 1:07:50 wherever we are, in the city or in the 1:07:53 countryside, kids. When we educate the 1:07:57 nation's children who are smart but not 1:07:59 righteous, this is a heavy task for us 1:08:02 as educators. This is a heavy task for 1:08:05 parents who entrust their children to 1:08:07 educational institutions. Right? To 1:08:10 make children as expected by their 1:08:13 parents. To make them righteous, smart, 1:08:16 and have good character. So today, 1:08:19 therefore, I am sharing, this is 1:08:21 actually a sharing session. I invite 1:08:26 all stakeholders, education 1:08:28 stakeholders, the government, and the 1:08:31 community to do what? To have a shared 1:08:36 task of molding a generation that has 1:08:39 both knowledge and character. Let's not 1:08:43 just provide knowledge, knowledge, 1:08:45 knowledge, knowledge. Yes. Okay, lots 1:08:47 of knowledge, but without noble 1:08:49 character. What is that knowledge for? 1:08:52 When they become officials, they might 1:08:53 become corruptors. When they are given 1:08:56 a mandate, they waste it. Right? 1:08:58 >> Because they are smart, but have no 1:09:00 character. 1:09:00 >> No character. 1:09:01 >> When they might become officials, as 1:09:03 people said yesterday, as the cleric 1:09:05 quoted again, perhaps when they become 1:09:07 judges, they are the ones put on trial. 1:09:10 >> Right? When they become prosecutors, 1:09:12 they are the ones being sued. That 1:09:15 could be because they only have the 1:09:16 knowledge but no character, or maybe 1:09:18 they become police officers but are 1:09:20 investigated instead of investigating. 1:09:23 It is just like security guards, why 1:09:26 are many of them arrested and secured 1:09:28 when their duty is to secure. Likewise, 1:09:32 many clerics nowadays are manipulative, 1:09:35 like what happened in Jepara, clerics 1:09:37 who manipulate, and many teachers who 1:09:40 instead seek personal gain with their 1:09:42 knowledge. En 1:09:46 >> envelopes, meaning I won't come unless 1:09:48 my fee of tens of millions is met. And 1:09:52 many teachers today are misguided in 1:09:55 directing their education. This must be 1:09:57 a shared responsibility. That's why, 1:10:02 way ahead of time, especially to all 1:10:05 Rasil listeners wherever you are, I 1:10:09 would be grateful when we have a unity 1:10:12 to mold a generation to become, 1:10:15 mashaAllah, top-notch intellectual 1:10:18 figures who also have noble character 1:10:22 and attitude. 1:10:26 >> And we do not want to only be able to 1:10:29 mold a generation with high intellect 1:10:31 but without character. Ah, this is what 1:10:35 we do not hope for. That is actually 1:10:37 what becomes a burden. The second point 1:10:39 , oh my child is very smart, but why 1:10:41 did they become a drug expert? 1:10:44 >> Yes. Nowadays, there are many students 1:10:47 who are clever, sharp-minded, but 1:10:48 hooked on drugs. Isn't that right? Oh, 1:10:51 that is undeniable, my child. 1:10:54 >> Undeniable. Let's look at the very 1:10:56 small things. Oh, why is my child smart 1:10:58 ? But they smoke, right? Smoking at a 1:11:01 young age. From smoking, where does it 1:11:03 lead? It increases the desire to try 1:11:07 crystal meth. It increases the desire 1:11:11 to sample drugs and all sorts of things 1:11:13 . 1:11:14 >> Right? May God protect us from that. 1:11:18 >> So, the essence of the question earlier 1:11:21 : why is it not enough for this 1:11:23 generation of children to just mold 1:11:26 them into intellectuals? Why is that? 1:11:30 Because moral values must be 1:11:33 prioritized. Scholars of the past said, 1:11:38 "Kuntu atlubul adab salatina sanah 1:11:42 >> wa kuntu eh atlubul ilma israh." This 1:11:47 is the difference. The scholars of old 1:11:50 said, for me to know who I am in this 1:11:53 world, I spent 30 years learning 1:11:56 manners, ethics, and noble character. 1:12:00 But I only studied science for 20 years 1:12:02 . The difference is 10 years, my child. 1:12:05 From this alone, we must understand how 1:12:08 important noble character is in 1:12:10 education. Especially if this noble 1:12:15 character is managed by a holistic 1:12:17 education system, a holistic education 1:12:20 program, which we desire globally. God 1:12:23 knows best. 1:12:24 >> Alright. Here is another comment, Ustaz 1:12:28 , from Mr. Sandi Wirya. 1:12:30 >> Subhanallah. Alhamdulillah, Ustaz. 1:12:32 Alhamdulillah, all three of my children 1:12:33 are Gontor alumni. 1:12:34 >> Wow. This definitely deserves a' wow '. 1:12:38 >> But they are not yet willing to engage 1:12:39 in direct preaching, Ustaz. They are 1:12:41 educators, Ustaz. The first is a civil 1:12:44 servant teacher, the second is a junior 1:12:46 high teacher, and the third is still in 1:12:47 college. 1:12:49 >> God is Great. 1:12:50 >> And I want to ask, Ustaz, sorry, is it 1:12:52 difficult to apply the Gontor education 1:12:53 system when teaching outside the 1:12:55 boarding school, especially regarding 1:12:56 report card grades? 1:12:58 >> Hmm. Yes. Well, first, I am grateful 1:13:01 that your children are Gontor graduates 1:13:04 ; as for them not being interested in 1:13:06 the world of preaching yet. Perhaps one 1:13:09 day, we pray that they will be able to 1:13:11 fulfill the need for preaching. Because 1:13:14 why? Preaching must not stop 1:13:16 >> until death. 1:13:20 >> And we hope that where they earn their 1:13:22 living, they also insert that moral 1:13:25 preaching to their students. Both the 1:13:29 one who is a junior high teacher and 1:13:30 the one currently in college. Utilize 1:13:33 college time by preaching to friends. 1:13:37 Do not join those students who incite 1:13:40 —what do you call it—brawls; there 1:13:43 are many students who brawl, which is 1:13:46 outside the desired path of education, 1:13:48 right? So we hope, to this gentleman, 1:13:54 that you remain hopeful that your 1:13:57 children can preach. God knows best, 1:14:01 God willing. Alright, Ustaz, we are 1:14:04 limited by time, perhaps we should wrap 1:14:05 it up, Ustaz. It's finished, God 1:14:07 willing. Okay. 1:14:09 >> So, in today's afternoon review... 1:14:16 Darussalam, which is the Gontor 1:14:19 boarding school. Actually, the name of 1:14:23 the school itself is not Gontor. 1:14:25 >> It's not. Earlier 1:14:26 >> not 1:14:26 >> what is it? 1:14:28 >> What is the name of the boarding school 1:14:29 ? Darussalam. Why is it called that? 1:14:32 >> Yes, that is, uh 1:14:35 >> I already explained three weeks ago 1:14:37 that the name of the school itself is 1:14:40 Darussalam. Dar is a place or a home 1:14:44 for seeding, you could say. Salam means 1:14:48 those who are safe. 1:14:49 >> Those who are safe. 1:14:49 >> So the essence of Darussalam's goal is 1:14:52 to produce a generation that is safe 1:14:55 and brings safety. The ones being 1:14:59 seeded and sown are in Gontor. 1:15:02 >> Relax, in Gontor. 1:15:03 >> Now, Gontor is the name of a village. 1:15:06 >> The name of the village. 1:15:07 >> Now, why is it called Gontor? The kiai 1:15:10 once again reminded his students, even 1:15:12 though the students already knew that 1:15:13 Gontor meant "enggon kotor"(a dirty 1:15:15 place). 1:15:17 >> It was "gon-kotor," dirty. 1:15:20 >> A dirty place. 1:15:21 >> Yes. A dirty place in that area; in 1:15:24 Gontor, there used to be a lot of 1:15:26 idolatry, disbelief, murder, adultery, 1:15:28 and gambling—it was all there. 1:15:31 >> Yes. Anything you call vice was in that 1:15:34 place called Gontor, that "dirty place. 1:15:36 " So, the kiai assigned it to—if I'm 1:15:41 not mistaken, the elder kiai—Kiai 1:15:45 Sulaiman Jamaluddin, if I recall, was 1:15:48 sent by Kiai Hasan Besari from 1:15:51 Tegalsari to preach in Gontor. 1:15:56 >> From Tegalsari to preach to Gontor. 1:16:00 Idolatry turned into monotheism, right? 1:16:04 Gambling turned into an economy free 1:16:07 from fraud and so on. Noble character 1:16:10 was instilled to stop gambling, 1:16:12 adultery, and the like. Slowly but 1:16:14 surely, there was success. That was in 1:16:17 Gontor. Why is it so famous as Gontor? 1:16:22 Maybe it's because Darussalam itself is 1:16:25 located in Gontor Village. So the 1:16:28 village is what stood out. 1:16:30 >> It became the brand, the branding, 1:16:34 Gontor. But precisely there, the true 1:16:38 value is Darussalam. The point is that 1:16:42 any form of education cannot be 1:16:44 separated from selling a label and a 1:16:47 product. Gontor or other than Gontor, 1:16:53 both have the goal of introducing a 1:16:56 label and selling a product. Right, and 1:17:00 this Aqua, Aqua water, or what is this? 1:17:03 Eh 1:17:04 >> yes, for hand sanitizer. So which one 1:17:08 is the label? This is the label. 1:17:11 >> The name is on the front. 1:17:12 >> i 1:17:12 >> The brand. 1:17:13 >> Where is the product? It's inside, 1:17:15 right? Well, any boarding school or any 1:17:19 educational institution is nothing more 1:17:21 than selling a label and a product. We 1:17:24 want the product to match the marketed 1:17:28 label. 1:17:30 >> Correct. Or the value taken by the 1:17:35 community should match the product 1:17:37 offered. 1:17:40 >> Yes. 1:17:40 >> That's it, right? Now, what's the use 1:17:43 of living like this now? Is living just 1:17:46 enough with a label? No? The label says 1:17:51 Cianjur rice. This is the name label. 1:17:53 Do we eat the name "Cianjur rice"? No. 1:17:56 We eat the rice. 1:17:58 >> The content. 1:17:59 >> The content, right? So the essence of 1:18:02 all education is to purify, to clean 1:18:04 the product. Whatever the label. 1:18:11 Regarding labels—Aqua, other brands, 1:18:14 whatever—they are all just drinks. 1:18:18 What we benefit from is the drinking 1:18:20 water. The drinking water, not the name 1:18:22 , right? Whatever the name—Darussalam 1:18:25 , Lirboyo, remote places, this or that, 1:18:28 Darun Najah, itself, Darul Hijrah—we 1:18:30 don't care about those names. The 1:18:33 important thing is the product 1:18:35 possessed by the students, which is 1:18:37 greatly appreciated by their parents 1:18:39 when they return home. That is why 1:18:43 being a kiai is actually hard, their 1:18:45 life is very difficult. Why? Because 1:18:48 being a kiai means he must be a teacher 1:18:50 , he must be an educator. His daily 1:18:54 life is said to be 24 hours, he must be 1:18:56 with the students. Now, that is a very, 1:18:59 very heavy responsibility. Hopefully in 1:19:02 the future, brothers in faith, 1:19:04 listeners of Rasil Radio and viewers of 1:19:07 Rasil television everywhere, or Gontor 1:19:09 friends who are also listening to this, 1:19:11 hopefully our presence, especially on 1:19:14 Rasil, brings, shall we say, 1:19:15 enlightenment to the general public. 1:19:19 This is the form of Islamic boarding 1:19:21 schools in Indonesia. It is not focused 1:19:24 on Gontor, but all levels of boarding 1:19:27 schools have the same label 1:19:30 >> and all equally possess products 1:19:34 >> our products of*fastabiqul khairat*( 1:19:36 competing in good deeds) with the 1:19:38 labels and products we have, so that we 1:19:41 may be worthy of receiving Allah's 1:19:43 pleasure, Allah's forgiveness, and 1:19:45 Allah's mercy. Allah knows best. 1:19:48 >> Alright, Ustaz. Praise be to God. Thank 1:19:50 you. Allah. 1:19:51 >> You are welcome, Fahri. 1:19:53 >> Hopefully this inspires all of us whose 1:19:55 children might not have been in a 1:19:57 boarding school yet, so they can be 1:19:58 enrolled in one. God willing, in the 1:20:01 future we will have leaders who are 1:20:03 truly trustworthy, right, Ustaz? Not 1:20:05 just intellectually smart but also 1:20:07 >> in terms of character. The most 1:20:08 important thing is the character. 1:20:10 >> Because there are many smart people 1:20:11 >> yes. But those who are 1:20:12 >> a bit rare, right. 1:20:13 >> A bit rare to find. 1:20:15 >> That is why there is a lot of 1:20:17 corruption, God forbid, oh my God. Best 1:20:19 wishes for everyone. 1:20:21 >> Thank you for your company. I, as the 1:20:22 host, and also*subhanakallahumma 1:20:24 wabihamdika ash-hadu alla ilaha illa 1:20:25 anta astaghfiruka wa atubu ilaik*(Glory 1:20:26 be to You, O Allah, and with Your 1:20:27 praise, I bear witness that there is no 1:20:28 god but You, I seek Your forgiveness 1:20:30 and repent to You). *Wasalamualaikum 1:20:31 warahmatullahi wabarakatuh*(May the 1:20:32 peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be 1:20:32 upon you).
