leader. They prove themselves as a non-formal leader in Indonesian society. The
influence of Kiai depends on both the sophistication knowledge and power they
have. It can be recognized from the achievement of their pesantren. In the
context of modernity dynamic, another impotant role of kiai is as a patron of
Islamic group that tries to articulate their interest, due to the fact that
