Just Miftah's Ideas

Indonesia is the biggest Moslem community in the world; surely this is can be human capital to create the life which based on Islamic values within Indonesian people milieu. Again, this can be potential for Indonesia to build the country according with our dreams to create better Indonesia, because the Islamic values accorded universally with human values in the world. So, I conceive if most of Indonesian people recognized about urgency of Islamic Law, we can free our country from poverty and more.
Education as the one pillar to build the nation civilization; it’s have an important role to prepare the next generation. Regeneration is absolutely, whereby the future is young generation responsibility. So, everything which related to this topic must be one system which can be produces good result which can be pledge to build Indonesian better.
In this case, the Islamic boarding schools proved can made best alumnus, and now they being a famous people in Indonesia, especially in social area or governmental area. We have to consider that they as the result of the Islamic boarding school system, it’s enough to prove that Islamic boarding school system is eligible to produce best human who have competences and compete with other nations in global context.
Islamic boarding school paradigm had used in the last time and known as the education system within Indonesian cultures, this paradigm cohesive with Islamic Indonesian milieu, so we can suggesting that this paradigm being a part of Moslem society in Indonesia.
Indonesia’s Islamic boarding school system have unique characteristic, so we can known that Indonesian people, especially Islamic society believed that Islamic boarding school system can made their children being man who have strong character, and they hope their children have enough knowledge about their religion and applied Islamic values in their daily activities.
We saw the fact; Islamic boarding school involved liberated Indonesia from Japan’s colonization, and it’s has main roles to forced Japan’s army like KH Zainal Musthofa from Tasikmalaya. He and their follower forced the Japan’s army with simple weapon like bamboos which has sharpened. And many more who forced the colonization they came from Islamic boarding school.
Why Indonesia's independence can’t be separated from boarding school? Because Islamic boarding school is responsible of the arising of consciousness for independent living, and the arising of consciousness to be able to stand on their own feet. In addition the school has a high spirit to fight for themselves. They fight for the nation believes that Indonesia is a jihad to defend the religion.
In the present context, the Islamic boarding schools were used as character-based education system. This system is expected to form noble personalities. In addition, boarding schools serve as a good institution to develop a positive culture such as responsibility, self-reliant and grow the spirit of social awareness. In this case I think boarding schools can be places as moon craters in advance, to produce quality human beings, to develop good deeds especially in coaching.
Along with the onslaught of globalization, boarding schools can be used as a shield to counter increasing globalization craze. At least Islamic boarding school can be a brake to dampen flows of globalization that continues a common, especially among teenagers. The boarding schools teaches about how Islam in view of globalization and modernity, how to react to it so that the students have a direction of how one should deal with globalization.
Islamic Boarding School and Technology
I see, now have started many Islamic boarding schools who apply technology in their education systems, as well as breaking the opinion that this is identical with ugliness of boarding schools, provincial, conventional or whatever his name, that’s entirely not correct.
What is clear, the benefits of boarding schools can be seen from the planting culture of responsibility. The students are trained to be responsible in conducting its activities, they are usually given the responsibility to always clean his room, or is given responsibility for maintaining or room night watchmen. I think this will be a very positive education, in building a culture of responsibility.
Another thing that is an advantage at the seminary is boarding schools as a base of leadership training. Exercise leadership in boarding schools can train someone in the decision or how to influence someone. It has become commonplace, if at the seminary there is an institution set up and manage life in the dorms. It is well known in Islamic boarding schools have distinctive culture associated with this write. Generally, each boarding school has special discourses about one book. And this book serves as the mainstay, or even become typical cirri attached to the Islamic boarding school. Usually a school has some studies that used eminent turats books, and books that became characteristic of the study which is owned by the Islamic boarding school.
Culture wrote in boarding schools are also directly proportional to the culture of reading. The books are read can be reviewed in writing, after students from the narrative describes his teacher, then written what was said by the teacher.
Place of Fostering Moral
Islamic Boarding schools shown as the places that fit and conditioned for human beings to fostering deeds. This is supported by the school's own curriculum that many use the vertical approach in each beat of its activities. The methods not only using intellectual aspects, but also using spiritual aspect. It was not uncommon in Islamic milieu to culture that encourages all residents to make congregational worship, prayer and a variety of voluntary practices that can get closer to Allah. All spiritual activities are placed in the mosque, so that the mosque becomes an urgent element in a boarding school. The mosque is a center of excellence in every pulse of life of the Islamic boarding school. Like the body, then the mosque is the heart of Islamic boarding school; With patterns like Islamic boarding school education said above, the boarding schools excel in providing personal productivity dg who has good deeds, only needs to be recognized boarding schools to accommodate the current weakness in the development of times, so often found a real gap between the Islamic boarding school and the development of technology.

Instilling Responsibility
The importance of responsibility and courage to face the risk of an act is the value to the student implanted. This is represent from the teachings of Islam that emphasizes the importance of sense of responsibility to act has been performed. So every deed done will have consequences. Life boarding schools teach students to survive in the face of challenges in life.

Self Life Coaching
Generally, the students away from their parents, practically everything he needs to be borne by them, ranging from washing clothes, cooking or other trivial things. Primary students in boarding school life salafi teaching students to live independently. Not a few of the students who must live among the "shortage". This became a condition of their many tirakat. And that's tirakat serve as the mainstay weapon for their feelings when the drought bag. Without complaining one bit. Yet the spirit of seeking knowledge is not diminished at all. They really believe what is told in the book ta'limul muta'alim. Many spree in demanding science will make science not only blessed and brain can not think. They remain patient in their studies in any condition. Although not wake up when people sleep the least burden. Though they had to hold the eyelids to remain open while sleep haunted, did not make his spirit dimmed. Armed with a yellow book that read Arabic without tails pen harokat and scavenge through the knowledge that Allah gave earlier scholars. A beautiful scenery when we witness the moment.
