The integration of NU principles within the school curriculum extends beyond academics. Every Friday, the al-Fauzaniyyah Foundation holds Istighasah and Mauidzah Hasanah sessions directly related to NU principles. Istighasah sessions are typically led by the Foundation’s chairman, KH Abdul Mujib, or the senior scholars at the Fauzan Pesantren.
What’s more unique is the requirement in the MA Fauzaniyyah program, where before graduation, students must partake in the Ubudiyyah program. This final preparation delves into Ubudiyyah in line with the teachings of Ahlussunnah wa al-Jama’ah (NU) to strengthen and test the students’ abilities before they integrate into society as Fauzan alumni. Students who do not participate in this program will have their diplomas withheld and must undergo the Ubudiyyah program the following year.
Presently, the Fauzan Pesantren is under the leadership of KH Umar A’lam, also known as Aceng Aam, the eldest son of KH Muhammad. Fauzan now boasts several branches scattered across the Garut region. These branch institutions stemming from the Fauzan Pesantren include Safinatul Faizin (Fauzan II) in Cibalong, Salaman (Fauzan III) in Sukaresmi, Al-Faizin (Fauzan IV) in Sukaresmi, Bidayatul Faizin (Fauzan V) in Cikajang, Mambaul Faizin (Fauzan VI) in Cisurupan, Mukhtarul Faizin (Fauzan VII) in Sukaresmi, and Farohan (Fauzan VIII) in Sukaresmi, all situated within the Garut Regency.
