Wakaf dan Kemandirian Pesantren dari Tebuireng Hingga Gontor
Abstract: This paper focuses
on the notion of endowment and its role in the building and development of
pesantren in Indonesia. It is interested particularly in investigating the economically
independent nature of pesantren through the scheme of endowment. It also traces
the history of pesantren to show that it has been independent all along. Its
independence, the paper argues expands not only in economic terms but also in
academic, theological as well as intellectual realm. Even against the onslaught
of modernity, pesantren has been independent in the sense that it has not
fallen prey to the negative impacts of modernity, if any. This paper discusses
this as well as the strategy of pesantren in dealing with modernity
particularly by referring to the experience of two great pesantrens, namely
Tebuireng and Gontor. The paper keeps in mind that it is the values of the two
pesantrens that kept them intact from the influence of modernity. It
investigates therefore the nature and kind of these values as well the extent
to which the two pesantrens are attached to them. One of the values that the
paper is interested in is the notion of charity (sadaqah), the some-what
equivalent word for endowment (waqf).
