After all, Bakri as the son of the Kiai, should not gamble. So seeing the behaviour of her grandson, Nayi Istihanah was concerned. Then one day, little Bakri was invited by Nayi Istihanan to go to the graves of his ancestors, especially KH. Yahuda, in this grave, Nyai Istihanah poured out all kinds of complaints against her naughty grandson.
Then after returning from the particle, little Bakri slept and dreamed of meeting his great grandfather KH. Yahuda, in his dream, little Bakri was asked by KH. Yahuda immediately repented and stopped his gambling hobby; hearing his great grandfather’s request, little Bakri refused and was angry, in that dream then KH. Yahuda took a stone the size of his hand and threw it at little Bakri so that little Bakri screamed in pain until he woke up from his sleep, but the dream seemed very real.
After the dream, little Bakri pondered a lot and began to leave his gambling habit, and he is now starting to change and regret all his behaviour. From that moment on, little Bakri had a new hobby, namely being alone and doing remembrance. So, little Bakri started to turn a new leaf; now, he decided to study from one pesantren to another, a habit he had been doing for years.
At first, little Bakri studied at KH. Khozin, the caretaker of the Bendo Pare Pesantren, then moved to the Jamsaren Pesantren, Solo. Then little Bakri went to Semarang to study at KH. Dahlan, but he didn’t stop there. Little Bakri’s odyssey in studying continued to Bangkalan, Madura, where there was a very famous guardian, who we know by the name of KH. Khalil Bangkalan under the care of Mbah Khalil. This is where little Bakri sharpens his spirituality.
After studying in Bangkalan, Madura, Bakri has now decided to carry out the fifth pillar of Islam, namely Hajj and at the same time wants to learn in the Middle East and study with the great scholars there. So, arriving in Makkah, Bakri carried out the ritual of Hajj, and after that, he began to participate in the halaqah held by the scholars there actively.
There Bakri deepened his Islamic knowledge, especially in the fields of fiqh, hadith, and Sufism. After it was deemed sufficient to study in the camel country, Bakri finally decided to return to his homeland and changed his name to Ihsan. Later, this name was more popular than his original name.
