I have some close friends at the Annuqayah Islamic Boarding School. Although, in fact, all of them are handai taulan which, of course, I should not ignore. But, nevertheless, they are all friends that I will never forget. But of the many friends, some have more experience. Generally, because they build organizational relationships. Then from the organization formed taklim majlis, discussions, or other positive activities.
After so many years, about 5 years I studied at the Annuqayah Islamic Boarding School, the time has come to leave the alma mater that has given me a lot of experience. I came home with a mission to spread the knowledge I got from this beloved cottage. So I promised myself to maintain the dignity of the pesantren. As much as possible, I will always be on the path of the vision of the pesantren itself. Upholding Allah’s religion and always maintaining good morals. Because ethics is the most essential thing when we have to be in the midst of social life.
I can’t share all my experiences at the Annuqayah pesantren. But this pesantren has been so attached to the bottom of my heart. So when there is time and opportunity to recite and study the books in Annuqayah, I try to make time for myself as much as possible. Just to stay in touch, to build an inner bond with the pesantren that has shaped my character as I am today. Actually, it is not enough just to say thank you. But Annuqayah is an eternal boarding school that does not expect anything in return. So maintaining the charisma of the pesantren is something that the Annuqayah pesantren hopes for.
The values of ukhuwah, the form of inner bonds, and efforts to build a spiritual relationship with this beloved pesantren can be a motivation to always be the best and be helpful in the community. This hope is a reminder for me personally to always be in line with Annuqayah’s vision and mission. Hopefully! Wallahu A’lam!
