IJAZAH SANAD TRADITION IN PESANTREN, AN EFFORT TO MAINTAIN THE AUTHENTICITY OF ISLAMIC TEACHINGS (Study in Pesantren Maslakul Huda, Kajen, Pati, Central Java)

Abstract

The reading of the Ijazah Sanad is one of the traditions in the
pesantren (Islamic boarding school) world. Sanad is an effort to
maintain the scientific chain to be guaranteed and authentic directly
from the original source. Without a clear scientific chain, it is feared
that learners do not reach the understanding intended by the writers
of classical Islamic works such as tafsir, hadith, fiqh, nahwu and so on.
Ijazah Sanad is an effort to maintain the authenticity of Islamic
teachings.
Pesantren Maslakul Huda is one of the pesantren which is
very strong in maintaining this tradition. Especially when it led by
al-Maghfurlah KH. Sahal Mahfudh. The tradition lasted until now
in the hands of his successor.
