Separated from their families and free from gadget distractions, santri are encouraged to become more self-reliant and solve problems together. They learn to take care of themselves, develop discipline, and adapt to the boarding school’s regulations.
Fostering a Sense of Family and Solidarity
Without external communication, santri are motivated to get to know each other, share stories, and build a familial bond. This fosters solidarity and mutual support among santri, creating a comfortable and secure environment.
Deepening Religious Understanding
The riyadlah period is an opportunity to focus on deepening religious knowledge and morals. santri participate in intensive religious studies, learn the Quran, and engage in collective spiritual activities. This aims to instill strong religious and moral values as the foundation for life at the boarding school.
