Takeaways

• 😀 Santri, or students of Islamic teachings, can be recognized by three key aspects: their faith (akidah), worship (ibadah), and morals (akhlaq).
• 😀 Every profession leaves a distinctive mark on a person, like the appearance of a soldier or a farmer. Similarly, a santri has characteristics that can be identified through their religious practices.
• 😀 The first aspect to recognize a santri is their firm faith (akidah), particularly their belief in God's will and the wisdom behind every trial or difficulty they face.
• 😀 A santri's second aspect is their worship practices, with prayer (salat) being a priority. They will leave all other activities to answer the call to prayer and try to prepare even before the adhan is heard.
• 😀 Santri should not require repeated reminders to perform their prayers. It should be a fundamental part of their daily routine and life.
• 😀 The third aspect that identifies a santri is their behavior, especially their speech. They will choose words that are polite and avoid hurting others with their language.
• 😀 A santri's actions should reflect good manners (adab) in all situations, such as greeting others with kindness, offering smiles, and showing respect, especially to their teachers.
• 😀 Santris should never disregard the value of their past teachers. Even former teachers, such as elementary or Quran teachers, should be greeted with respect, acknowledging their contributions to their education.
• 😀 The concept of a 'former teacher' does not exist in the life of a santri. A teacher’s guidance is always remembered and honored.
• 😀 A true santri embodies their faith, worship, and good character in all aspects of their life, both inside and outside the classroom, regardless of whether they study at a formal institution or not.
