It will be tangiblyapparent in the chapters to follow how these events, with the relative exceptionof hajj and umrah, became practised rituals in Daarut Tauhid in fulfilment of itsmission as the Bengkel Akhlaq. Echoing Van Gennepian sequences, these eventswere to a great extent rites de passage, in that they were necessary rites whichturned Gymnastiar from an ordinary persona into an extraordinary kyai (theleader of both the pesantren and many Muslims) and transformed theenvironment from an ordinary community into a distinguished pesantren milieu.įurthermore, these events can be seen as a potential foundation and will laterexplicitly illuminate both the very nature and the primary function of DaarutTauhid as the Bengkel Akhlaq (Workshop for Morality).
There were, duringthis period, some events which are not merely significant but determinant inthe foundation of the pesantren. This period from 1987 up until 1990represents the period of the initial stages of the pesantren.
Officially founded only in 1990, Pesantren Daarut Tauhid was in fact establishedearlier in 1987 by Abdullah Gymnastiar.
