Pondok Pesantren Al-Ishlah Sendangagung Paciran

Al-Ishlah Islamic Boarding School is a pesantren located in the village of Sendangagung, Paciran, Lamongan. It is one of the best known institutions in the north coast area (pantura) of Lamongan and has educated lots of students in the area -- mostly those from Blimbing, Paciran, Weru and Kranji. The pesantren is just 2 kilometres from Wisata Bahari Lamongan. Students who study at Al-Ishlah should stay in a boarding house called pondok, a place where they are taught Qur'anic and Hadits knowledge and trained to be independent.

One of the best rules applied in Al-Ishlah is that it prioritizes the language use. No students are allowed to speak their local language such as Javanese and Sundanese. Instead, they have to speak Bahasa Indonesia. It is a must. Students who break the rule (speaking Javanese, for instance) will be punished.

Additionally, the use of English and Arabic is highly preferrable. In every other week, the area of the pesantren turns to be an English zone where people, including the teachers, must use only English as the daily language.

This strict rule has been applied for many years.

Recently, the pesantren has recorded one of its best achievements by having its student Laili Purnama Sari win a Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur'an (MTQ) in Jember East Java and bring home a gold medal.

Having been abroad, Muhammad Dawam Saleh, the director of the pesantren, has encouraged students to apply English and Arabic in daily communication. What a very dynamic pesantren!
