Abstract

The focus of this research is to examine the daily practices of As’adiyah Islamic Boarding School’s students in their dormitory, mosque, and environment. As’adiyah is the oldest pesantren in Sulawesi and plays a crucial role in developing Islam in South Sulawesi, particularly in fostering students to become hafiz. The method used in this research is qualitative with ethnographic models. There were 13 informants interviewed coming from new students, students’ parents, students’ coaches, and hafiz. The research findings indicate that santri As’adiyah must go through a series of stages to become a Hafiz, including registration, reading tests, and memorization of the Quran. After passing these stages, there is a 100-day coaching process, and students must adapt to the boarding environment and the Jami Sengkang Mosque. The goal is to memorize 30 Juz of the Quran in three years, with consequences for those who take longer, including expulsion from Majelis Qurra wal Huffaz. Using Foucault’s concept of technologies of the self, we found out that the efforts of the santri are their way to attain a better state of themselves.
