Dream - Pondok pesantren is an Islamic educational institution in the form of a boarding school and serves as a place for students to learn to recite the Quran. Staying at a pesantren is a choice for some parents to provide better religious education for their sons and daughters. Not only religious lessons, but pesantren also teaches general knowledge. It even provides training for students to be able to live independently in the future with skills honed at the pesantren.

There are several benefits for children in boarding schools. First, boarding schools offer an Islamic environment and discipline, which is a good environment for children's growth. Second, children can learn religion and morality more deeply. Third, boarding schools also provide opportunities to memorize the Quran and study hadith and fiqh. Fourth, children can learn to be independent and responsible in their daily lives at boarding schools.

Fifth, pesantren also provides practical skill training such as agriculture, culinary arts, and handicrafts. Sixth, pesantren teaches leadership values and independence that are useful for the future of the children. Seventh, in pesantren, children can learn cross-cultural understanding and tolerance. Eighth, pesantren is a safe and protected place for children to learn and interact with others.

Ninth, pesantren also provides opportunities for holistic self-development, not only in academics but also in social and emotional skills. Tenth, pesantren provides opportunities to stay away from negative influences outside and focus on positive self-development. Eleventh, children can also strengthen their religious and cultural identities in pesantren.

And finally, pesantren helps children prepare themselves to become individuals who contribute positively to society. Therefore, parents need to send their children to pesantren to obtain these benefits.

One of the recommended prayers is a prayer of protection, such as the prayer of Ayat Kursi, the prayer of Al-Fatihah, and other prayers of protection taught by the Prophet. Parents also need to teach their children to always pray before and after activities in the pesantren. In addition, the attitude that parents need to take in supporting their children in the pesantren is to provide emotional and spiritual support, as well as always being patient and understanding of the child's adaptation process in the pesantren.

Parents also need to provide motivation and support so that children feel comfortable and at ease in the pesantren environment. With prayers for children in pesantren and the attitude of parents who continue to encourage and support their children, it is hoped that children will always feel protected by Allah and feel at ease in pesantren and be able to face challenges and adapt to the pesantren environment well in accordance with the teachings of Islam.

"Allah, bring us out of the darkness of ignorance and honor us with the light of understanding. Open our minds to knowledge and open the doors of your blessings for us, O most merciful one."

"O our Lord! Make both of us Muslims (those who submit to You) for You, and from our descendants a Muslim nation (those who submit to You) for You, and show us our rituals and accept our repentance. Indeed, You are the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful."
