Modern Islamic Education Concept Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor
Foreign Languages As the Key to Science
This Modern Islamic Education Concept Pondok Darussalam Gontor was inspired by the events at the Indonesian Muslim Congress at Surabaya, in 1926. inspired by Indonesian Muslims, for example. H.O.S. Cokroaminoto, Kyai Mas Mansur, H. Agus Salim, AM. Sangaji Usman Amin etc. In the congress, it was decided that Muslims in Indonesia should send their representatives to the world Islamic Muktamar to be held in Mecca. But there is a problem about who will be the representative. Because the messenger sent must be able to speak two Arabic and English languages. But none of the congressional participants mastered the two languages. It was this event that inspired K. H. Ahmad Sahal, then one of the congressmen, to produce figures who had the above criteria. And this is a very valuable thought input for the form and characteristics of Modern Islamic Education Concept Pondok Darussalam Gontor institution.
In the process of studying at KMI Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor, the introductory language used is; Arabic for religious science and lessons that use Arabic, English for subjects that speak English and Indonesian for Indonesian-language subject matter. However, it needs to be revealed that for the first degree, religious and other knowledge materials are taught from the ground up. Like children who sit in first class they are taught using Indonesian, because at this level they do not yet have an established language ability to study books that speak Arabic, they have just learned the basics of Arabic with direct method. Then in the second year they were taught in Arabic, after they had sufficient abilities, so that they could read simple Arabic books that matched their abilities such as; Nahwu Wadih, Khulashoh Nurul Yaqin, Tarikh Islam, Fara’id and others. So does English, such as: Berltiz, Stories for You. And in the teaching of foreign languages in Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor “Must leave the local language and Indonesia”, which means that the person must be willing to come out of the old life to go to something new.

Boarding school life was created with adequate displin, and students were trained to discipline themselves by participating in existing programs. This strict timing is intended so that students who are in this period of growth can get used to the hard work. Because adolescence and leisure, it will encourage teenagers to do damage. In this case K.H. Imam Zarkasyi advised: “Be disciplined with conviction, Remember what all the rules are for, for what discipline is for“.
In fact Islam contains very important teachings about this discipline. Praying with the division of time, fasting by self-discipline, and so on carrying out discipline is very light, when done by all compulsion. This feels appropriate as explained in the Qur’an about the discipline of heavy prayer for forced persons, but it is light for people who know the meaning of prayer.
K.H. Imam Zarkasyi advised his students:
“Make patient and pray as your help. And verily, this is hard except for the believers.” and “As big as your faith, that’s how much you get.”
Pondok pesantren as an Islamic educational institution with a boarding system, where three educational centers (Families, schools and communities) are integrated in one environment. That makes it very possible to achieve an effective and efficient environment and instill the soul and value of education and implement the whole kegitan of education and teaching. Finished the conclusion about the Modern Islamic Education Concept Pondok Darussalam Gontor, may you like it..
