KH. Bisri Syansuri and Sanad Sciences of the Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School

The development of Islamic history in Indonesia has always been separated from the great influence of Islamic boarding schools. Each boarding school has a central figure of scholars who are commonly called familiar as Kyai. Ulama as a central figure in Islamic boarding schools are not just responsibility for transferring the basic sciences of religion, but more important than that is the best example of its students. Because the ulama also dedicated his life to always emulate the Prophet, both in terms of his knowledge and morals. Thus in Islamic boarding schools will give birth to a generation that is beneficial to other humans who are not only good at taking the argument from verses or hadith, but rather become santri who are able to emulate the morals of the Prophet. And also giving an example of the importance of loving Indonesian homeland. To be the center TAFAQQUH FIDDIN (Deepening of the teachings of Islam) originating from the Arab world, it does not have to import from its culture, but the boarding school still never comes out of commitment to maintain and uphold local culture. One of the biggest pesantren in Indonesia is the Tebuireng Islamic Boarding School in Jombang. The founder of Pondok Tebuireng was KH.Hasyim Asy’ari. Many of his students who became great scholars in Indonesia, one of which was KH. Bisri Syansuri. He is also the founder of a large boarding school, the Mambaul Ma’arif Denanyar Islamic Boarding School in Jombang. He and his wife, Mrs. Nyai Hj. Nur Khodijah, who founded the first women’s boarding school in East Java. The great students are printed from great teachers as well as KH. Bisri Syansuri who became the santri KH.Hasyim Asy’ari. In this case, the author chose the figure of KH.Bisri Syansuri to record and capture his name as the founder of the cottage who is currently studying in it. KH.Bisri Syansuri was born on August 23, 1887 in Tanah Tayu Wetan, Tayu District, Pati Regency, Central Java. The Tayu area is one of the points and paths of the population whose population upholds religious traditions. The family of him is a family of great scholars in several generations such as Kiai Kholil Lasem. KH. Bisri started gaining knowledge to his own father KH. Syansuri bin KH. Abdus Shomad. His father was a cleric in the Tayu area during Kiai Nawawi Jepara. KH. Bisri not only studied in one place. He studied in many boarding schools in Indonesia. Seeing the network of his teachers, he lived in a time when the pesantren was undergoing a process of consolidation as a center for Islamic learning and the basis of the formation of the Santri Community. Pesantren not only presents Islamic patterns that are increasingly different from colonial orientation, but also lead to the creation of space for the process or bridge to understand the teachings of Islam. This solidified him to study with KH.Hasyim Asy’ari. Because KH.Hasyim Asy’ari is very careful about the development of tradition and the orientation of pure fiqh and nahwu Shorof science which is drawn from the tradition of the development of religious law that is selective. So it is a place that is very in accordance with the personality of KH. Bisri to study with KH.Hasyim Asy’ari. Under the guidance of Hadrotus Sheikh, KH. Bisri studies ushul science, fiqh science, hadith science, and interpretation. The way of teaching and learning using oral traditions (Koran and Bahtsu Al Masail). With that, to transmit the sciences of their teachers to students and the wider community so that they can be more easily digested and implemented. While he became a santri, he also took part in politics, even though his movement was not vulgar. He cannot be separated from Hadrotus Sheikh Hasyim Asy’ari, which forms a Jam’iyyah which reaps the resurrection of the scholars called NU (Bachelor of Nahdhotul). That’s where the political progress KH. Bisri was laid. KH.Hasyim and KH.Bisri who became one of the founders of NU confirmed as a fortress Ahlu sunnah wal pilgrims is an affirmation that is the main support of maintaining Indonesian independence. By justifying the resolution of jihad against colonialism, and making NU as Jam’iyyah who always keeps the Republic of Indonesia. KH.Bisri gave up his life to continue the struggle of his teacher, because to TawadhuHis main teacher, he enough to transmit the works of KH. Hasyim to the students and the community, especially related to the assistance of religious law in the community who were still lay. So, KH. Bisri Syansuri is known to be very strong and strong in holding fiqh law, even he is famous for Emphasize, bend to act.
