- Seeking knowledge is one of the things
- encouraged in the Islamic religion. A
- person who possesses knowledge will
- receive honor in the sight of Allah and
- His Messenger. One of the institutions
- for seeking knowledge is the Islamic
- boarding school, or pesantren. One of
- them is the Buntet Pesantren in Cirebon
- City. And thank God, this time Rasil TV
- is able to visit this historic boarding
- school for the "Silah Pesantren"
- program. Yes, Iwan. Thank God, we are
- now in Cirebon. We are going to take a
- tour around Buntet Pesantren, Cirebon.
- Buntet Pesantren, which is located
- precisely in Astana Japura, Cirebon.
- Later, God willing, we will invite you
- to tour this Buntet boarding school,
- meet with the administrators, and chat
- with the students as well as local
- residents. Let’s follow along,
- everyone. The Buntet Pesantren that we
- know today is one of the oldest
- boarding schools in Indonesia. It has
- been standing since the 18th century AD
- . It was built by the Mufti of the
- Cirebon Palace, Mbah Muqayyim, who
- refused to compromise with the Dutch.
- Because of that stance, Mbah Muqayyim
- chose to live outside the palace walls
- and become a teacher. He then founded a
- boarding school that is now known as
- Buntet Pesantren. And viewers, thank
- God, right now I am at a place that
- just held an "imtihan" event last night
- , an examination for the Buntet
- students. And now, next to me is Kiai
- Nemi Muktasim Billah. He is one of the
- descendants of K.H. Abbas, and thank
- God, he has welcomed us to chat a
- little about the profile of this Buntet
- Pesantren. Peace be upon you, Pak Kiai.
- And peace be upon you too.
- I hope you are healthy and doing well,
- Pak Kiai.
- Thank God, I am doing well.
- Yes. Well, we would like to know, and
- the viewers at home also want to know,
- a brief profile of this Buntet
- Pesantren, Pak Kiai. And, roughly how
- many students are there currently, Pak
- Kiai, at this Buntet Pesantren?
- If you count the number of students, it
- is actually a lot. It is already in the
- thousands. Because for this boarding
- school, its development now consists of
- several individual pesantren units. The
- place that was first used as a boarding
- school is located in Bulak Village,
- about half a kilometer from the current
- pesantren complex. In that Bulak
- Village, there are still remains of
- Mbah Muqayyim in the form of a student
- tomb site that is still intact today.
- This is the tomb of Kiai Abbas's father
- . He is...
- K.H. Abdul Jamil.
- K. Abdul Jamil. The first place we
- stopped at earlier was his house.
- Oh. Oh, yes. His house, right?
- Correct.
- Masyaallah. As for Kiai Abbas, this is
- his tomb.
- Oh, is this it?
- Yes, that’s right.
- Masyaallah.
- His message was indeed not to make it
- fancy, just keep it ordinary and simple
- .
- Yes, yes. Yes.
- That is why his burial site is in its
- original, simple form like this.
- And most of these are the tombs of the
- elders of Buntet.
- Exclusively here?
- Yes, right here. As for the ones over
- there, they are the local
- public cemetery.
- Public cemetery. That's right. Well,
- over there is the son of the person who
- used to be with former President Kiai
- Abdurrahman Wahid.
- Oh, Gus Dur.
- And became his advisor. Yeah.
- His name is
- Kiai Abdullah Abbas.
- Kiai Abdullah Abbas.
- That's right. The older brother of Mbah
- Din. This is
- our elder now. Oh my.
- Now, this one is called Mbah Dulah. He
- was called. If it’s for a pilgrimage,
- maybe every
- Thursday night, right?
- Thursday night, yes, a pilgrimage here.
- And usually, like us Javanese, during
- Kliwon or something, many people
- definitely come to visit.
- Visiting, yes, maybe during Eid, many
- stop by here.
- Correct. If it's here, then one day
- before Eid,
- some of the Buntet community does come
- here.
- In our local language, it's called '
- sowan'.
- Sowan. Yes, because we haven't met for
- a year, something like that. Even
- though sometimes
- during the haul, they often come here
- too. Yeah.
- Well, these are mostly the senior
- scholars here.
- As for Mbah Muqayyim's grave,
- oh, that’s different.
- Different, right?
- Because he is among the earliest
- compared to some
- of the scholars here. Even his father
- is not here. He is over there with Mbah
- Muqayyim.
- Maybe before moving here, was Buntet
- already there?
- It was. And because here, it wasn't
- there yet.
- Yeah.
- There was no cemetery yet.
- No cemetery at that time.
- Public cemetery. Yes.
- The first grave might be Kiai
- Abbas here or
- it could be Mbah Muqayyim. It could
- also be his younger brother, Mbah Abdul
- Jamil, who is outside.
- Oh, I see, I see. This is part of Kiai
- Abdul Jamil's family inside here. As
- the oldest Islamic boarding school in
- West Java, Buntet Pesantren
- consistently develops comprehensive
- knowledge to this day. Buntet Pesantren
- has both traditional and modern
- characteristics. It is called modern
- because it adopts modern school systems
- such as madrasah, elementary, up to
- higher education. Now, what are the
- boarding school's flagship programs,
- Kiai? So, we use a combined system
- between Salaf and Khalaf. Meaning, the
- system already developed by earlier
- scholars is maintained, but
- it's traditional.
- Yes. But we also don't eliminate the
- modern system.
- Hm. A combination.
- So it is hoped that after students
- finish studying at the boarding school,
- they don't just receive religious
- knowledge, but also formal knowledge.
- The traditional aspect is because this
- Buntet school continues to study the
- books of the Salafus Saleh which
- discuss the Quran, hadith, tafsir,
- balagah, Arabic grammar, and works on
- ethics, mysticism, and jurisprudence
- from the earlier scholars. Now, Kiai,
- regarding the Salafiyah learning
- earlier,
- Regarding the understanding of the "
- yellow books," that seems to be a
- hallmark of Islamic boarding schools.
- That's right.
- Now, uh
- is the understanding of these yellow
- books still a mainstay here at Buntet
- Islamic Boarding School? Yes, in
- accordance with the principles and
- references contained in
- our teachings, *al-muhafazhatu 'ala
- al-qadim al-salih*. The yellow books
- remain our guide and manual in social
- life. We continue to use them. But, uh,
- besides that, we also don't deny the
- existence of the progress of the times.
- Yes, we continue to balance the
- traditional system, uh,
- traditional
- traditional and modern, it remains
- a combination, right?
- Yes, a combination.
- Education at Buntet Islamic Boarding
- School ranges from kindergarten to the
- nursing academy. Across all these
- levels, there are more than 5,000
- students who are part of the boarding
- school community. Peace be upon you,
- and Allah's mercy and blessings. I am
- Ahmad Fais Taftazani, a student at
- Buntet Islamic Boarding School who came
- from South Tangerang, East Ciputat. I
- have been studying here for 2 years in
- Aliyah school. So my impression of this
- Buntet Islamic Boarding School is it is
- one of the oldest Islamic boarding
- schools in Indonesia. So I am proud to
- be a student here. Besides that, Buntet
- Islamic Boarding School is also a
- traditional boarding school with quite
- good facilities. So that supports the
- students in learning and studying the
- yellow books here.
- My name is Fatim Nisrina. I am from
- Cirebon. My reason for boarding here is
- because I want to, uh, broaden my
- religious knowledge and general
- knowledge as well. And also, I want to
- make myself a person who is independent
- , mature, and more creative. Uh, here I
- have gained so many experiences. I have
- many friends, have, uh, many life
- experiences, have many lessons, such as
- how we should have good character, how
- we should be, uh, polite to others, and
- how we should respect other people.
- This boarding school is located between
- two villages, namely Martapada Kulon
- Village and Munjul Village. Along with
- the changing times, from hundreds of
- years ago, the population of this
- boarding school has grown increasingly,
- making its density quite high. Unlike
- other boarding schools, the existence
- of this Buntet boarding school is quite
- unique because of its homogeneous
- community. It is difficult to
- distinguish between the students and
- the native residents of this boarding
- school, especially when viewed by
- outsiders. People who know Buntet as an
- Islamic boarding school assume anyone
- they meet who graduated from here is a
- student. So the impression that arises
- is one closely associated with
- religious knowledge and worship.
- Because it cannot be denied that both
- the native residents and the students,
- their daily activities cannot be
- separated from the activities of being
- a student here. When the shadow reaches
- the length of this iron rod, then
- that is the time for Asr.
- Hmm. And for that,
- if the shadow is the same as or less
- than this rod, then it is the time for
- Dhuhr.
- Hm. H.
- Now, for Maghrib and Isha times, this
- cannot be used. Now, what building is
- this, Pak Kiai?
- This is one of the oldest buildings in
- Buntet. T
- his is the mosque.
- Oh, it's a mosque. What is the mosque
- called, Pak Kiai?
- Yes, the Jami Buntet Mosque.
- Jami Buntet Mosque.
- So, this is one of the oldest buildings
- here.
- Yes. Naturally, when building an
- Islamic boarding school, there must be
- a place for
- worship.
- Worship. That's right. This the shape
- and structure have not been changed.
- Is it still original?
- It is original. Perhaps only this part
- has been changed.
- Hm.
- But the wood and the rest remain
- unchanged.
- Yes. Yes. The shape is indeed similar
- to the Cirebon palace, perhaps. There
- is still
- perhaps if you look at the Kauman
- palace, there is a slight resemblance.
- Yes. Yes, it is. The nuance is perhaps
- still the same
- because he was originally from there.
- Yes, yes, yes. And it was indeed
- founded in the same centuries as
- that Kauman. Yes
- that's right. Masyaallah, while we walk
- Iwan Awat, it was explained earlier
- that in front of this mosque there is
- this building. Could we get an
- explanation from Pak Kiai and also his
- students? What is this, Pak Kiai? This
- this is called a "jam pencet"(sundial).
- Jam bencet
- yes. It is commonly used to determine
- prayer times.
- Oh, I see. I
- its use is by looking at this
- and coincidentally
- this shadow, this metal piece here.
- Maybe the student can explain how this
- works.
- So
- its function and also
- the function of the metal piece here.
- When the shadow exceeds the metal piece
- here, then
- it is Asr time.
- Hmm. Yes. Yes. If the shadow is the
- same
- the shadow is equal to or less than
- this metal piece, then it is Dhuhr time
- .
- Hmm.
- Now, for Maghrib and Isha, we cannot
- use this metal piece because it is
- nighttime.
- Yes.
- What do you use at night?
- At night, we use the sky color.
- Sky color. Sky color.
- Oh, looking at the clouds? Yes,
- looking at the clouds. Red clouds mean
- it's Maghrib, right? Yes.
- How about Fajr?
- For Fajr, we use the sky color again.
- Sky color again.
- Alright. So for nighttime, you use the
- sky, and for Dhuhr and Asr, you use
- this sundial. Yes
- sometimes we check if the time has
- arrived or not. That's why the time is
- also different.
- We use this, and the people here call
- it "the hereafter clock."
- Oh, I see. So this is the benchmark,
- not the wall clock or the clock there,
- right?
- Yes. Yes.
- Masyaallah.
- That's why it's sometimes faster.
- Hm.
- Slower, like that. Sometimes for Dhuhr,
- it should be
- if we use 12:00, this one's
- sometimes at 11:30 it's already time
- for the drum.
- Yes. So it really depends on the sun,
- right?
- Yes, that's right. Because the sun's
- position is sometimes fast and
- sometimes slow.
- Yes. Yes, yes. So it is like that.
- But it is still used until today
- it is still used. During the colonial
- era, Buntet Islamic Boarding School
- played an important role as a base for
- the Cirebon community's movement
- against colonization. Many kiais,
- students, and the boarding school
- community joined the people's universal
- struggle to achieve the ideals of
- independence. In its role of defending
- independence, Buntet Islamic Boarding
- School had the Hizbullah militia, which
- joined other forces in the battle in
- Surabaya on November 10, 1945. That
- Buntet Islamic Boarding School has long
- been anti-colonialist.
- Hm. So, some of our ancestors were from
- the Kasepuhan Sultanate, especially,
- many were anti-Dutch and anti-colonial.
- It turns out they had to leave the
- palace.
- Hm. So they had to flee, had to, uh,
- prepare themselves not to be caught by
- the colonizers. Well, among other
- things, by establishing, uh, an Islamic
- boarding school. Actually, not
- establishing, but becoming a boarding
- school.
- Most Indonesian people, when they hear
- the name Buntet Islamic Boarding School
- , will immediately remember Kiai Abbas,
- the lion of West Java, commander of the
- Jihad resolution militia. His heroic
- role in the war on November 10, 1945,
- was actually inseparable from the blood
- flowing through him, passed down from
- Mbah Muqayyim, the founder of Buntet in
- the mid-17th century, who rebelled
- against the Dutch colonizers at that
- time. At that time, an Islamic boarding
- school that was firmly anti-colonial
- was marked by, uh, a sapodilla tree.
- Oh.
- So, the sapodilla tree is in front of
- the mosque, usually maybe several, but
- at least one or two must be there. One
- of the systems built in this boarding
- school is that students who board at
- Buntet Islamic Boarding School are
- required to complete formal education
- as mandated by the national education
- law. They must follow formal education
- levels such as elementary, junior high,
- senior high school, to university.
- Besides that, they are also required to
- follow non-formal education in the form
- of dirasah diniah (religious studies)
- held in each dormitory or follow
- special education conducted by kiais
- according to their field of expertise.
- Thank you, Pak Kiai,
- for accompanying us
- today in touring this Islamic boarding
- school.
- You're welcome.
- And yes,
- hopefully, you are not bored. Amen. God
- willing, no. We are very happy, okay,
- for the time spent touring earlier,
- accompanying us to explain the very
- historic places here. And most
- importantly, let us not break the bond
- of friendship (silaturahim). Especially
- since we are,
- Innamal mukminuna ikhwatun. That every
- believer is a brother.
- And to connect that brotherhood, one of
- the ways is by maintaining silaturahim.
- This is the most important thing,
- yes. Among them are blessings for age,
- blessings for everything. The one who
- visits is blessed, and we who receive
- the guest also receive blessings.
- Amen. May it be blessed by Allah.
- You're welcome. Amen. Amen.
- Right, and perhaps lastly, we would
- like to ask for a message from Pak Kiai
- . Maybe for the viewers at home who are
- currently following this Buntet
- boarding school program. Perhaps Pak
- Kiai, please go ahead.
- Well, for all the viewers, the most
- important thing is to keep maintaining
- silaturahim, prioritize noble character
- (akhlakul karimah) because that is the
- most important essence in every life
- and also in worship. That is
- approximately what I can convey.
- Alright, once again thank you, Sir.
- We'll take our leave now. All right.
- Peace be upon you.
- And peace be upon you too.
- Yes. Praise be to God, Lord of the
- worlds. Brothers and sisters, may God
- bless you, we have toured this Puntet
- Islamic Boarding School in Cirebon.
- Hopefully, the information provided is
- useful for all brothers and sisters
- wherever you are. And until we meet
- again in the next Islamic boarding
- school visit. I am Rizal, along with
- the da'wah team on duty, signing off.
- Peace be upon you and God's mercy and
- blessings. H
