Daya Tahan ”Keassalaaman” Pondok Pesantren Modern Islam Assalaam Sukoharjo Tahun 1982-2021

Abstract

This study focuses on the history of Modern Islamic Boarding School Assalaam Sukoharjo from 1982 to 2021, particularly in strengthening the ideology of Keassalaaman. The research employs historical methods using various primary and secondary sources. Data collection techniques include literature studies and interviews. The literature review examines previous studies, while interviews were conducted with key informants such as the founders, religious leaders (kiai), teachers, students, and surrounding community members. The findings reveal that the journey of Modern Islamic Boarding School Assalaam, which began in 1979 as the Majelis Pengajian Islam (MPI), evolved into the Yayasan Majelis Pengajian Islam Surakarta (YMPIS) in 1982, and was renamed Modern Islamic Boarding School Assalaam in 1985, is a rich and historical development. PPMI Assalaam has undergone several phases of growth, from its pioneering period to its current phase of acceleration. Amidst both internal and external dynamics, the pesantren strengthened its identity by establishing the Keassalaaman guidelines in 2011. These guidelines emphasize a moderate stance, balancing tradition and modernity, and upholding values of rahmatan lil alamin (mercy to all creation), positioning the pesantren not only as an educational institution but also as an agent of social change that promotes peace, compassion, and tolerance within society.
