After arriving home, not long after the death of KH. Ihsan Jampes’s father, the leadership of the Pesantren, was handed over to KH. Khalil, the younger brother of KH. Ihsan Jampes, but this leadership only lasted for four years. Ihsan Jampes is considered more appropriate because he is more pious and sane.
So since then, KH. Ihsan Jampes is known to the broader community as a pious, ascetic, and wara scholar. Under the leadership of KH. Ihsan Jampes, the Jampes Pesantren, experienced very rapid development, one of which was the increase in students, which previously only had around 150 students, now the number has become 1000 students. This increase in the number of students is due to the popularity of KH. Ihsan Jampes is known as a lover of Allah.
KH. Ihsan Jampes is famous as a guardian who has a variety of karomah, one of which is that he has laduni knowledge, laduni science is a knowledge that Allah SWT only gives because the eyes of one’s heart are opened. His wisdom and breadth of expertise have been proven by his monumental works, namely the book Siraj ath-Thalibin, a syarah from the book Minhajul Abidin, the last piece of Imam Al-Ghazali, thanks to the creation of this book. Thus, KH. Ihsan Jampes earned the nickname Ghazali of the land of Java.
KH. Ihsan Jampes’ writings other than those mentioned above are the books of Tashrih al-Ibarat, Natijat al-Miqat, Manhaji al-Amdad, and Ersyad al-Ikhwan fi Syurbati al-Qahwati wa ad-Dukhan. All the works of KH. Ihsan Jampes prove his extraordinary capacity. Another karomah is that he entered a discotheque and saved a girl from disobedience; besides, he knew things that had not happened.
Such is the karamah of KH. Ihsan Jampes, hopefully, we can emulate his wisdom, zuhudan and virtuousness. KH. Ihsan Jampes died at a relatively young age of 51 years, he died on Monday 25 September 1952, and his body was buried in the Jampes Pesantren complex.
