The name pesantren is derive from the word “santri” and additional “an”. It has
meaning that place where they (santri) learn Islamic knowledge. Pesantren has
been already existed since Walisanga times.

Islamic yurispudence (fiqh), tauhid, and how to read holy quran correctly.
Pesantren education has already given them Islam knowledge only (salaf
education). This reality arose, because the society thought from a simple aspek
namely worldly (dunia) and here after (akhirat). So that it happens dicotomi among
Islam knowledge and Science.
In this perspective, Islam education is located in the afterlife aspect and ignore
wordly life(duniawi), a meanwhile science issues is considered separated from
religion.
In the term globalitation, Pesantren education has alrreadi combine dual system
education namely salaf and kholaf its named “ashriyyah” (Modern Pesantren). Salaf
is it only learns about religion issues, and kholaf is learns about science and
religions knowledge. Combination of dual system education is purposed to get a
