Pesantren Property: Case study in Pesantren Property Ploso, Banguncipto Village, Sentolo District, Kulon Progo Regency

Abstract

The majority of pesantren (equivalent to Islamic Boarding Schools) are merely places of prayer, recitation, or Quranic studies (tafaqquh fi ad-Din) for the Santri (students at pesantren). However, Santri require practical knowledge and experience to face the challenges of their country's development and the Industrial Revolution 4.0, which is full of opportunities and challenges. If pesantren do not develop exceptional initiatives in response to the practical demands of the advancing world, their contribution will not meet the requirements of Law Number 18 of 2019. Pesantren serve three functions: education, da'wah (Islamic outreach), and community empowerment. This article aims to highlight the evolution of a pesantren model based on the property business. It is a qualitative field research conducted from an economic perspective. The findings of this study identify, first, the establishment of property-based boarding schools as a response to the growing Muslim population, but it raises concerns at the economic level. Second, Bambang Ifnurudin Hidayat collaborated his 15 years of experience in the property business with religious studies at Islamic boarding schools. Third, this pesantren model is internally related, with a) a collaborative learning system that integrates religious teachings and property science, b) students receiving theoretical knowledge from ustaz (Islamic scholars) and practical guidance
