This research begins with criticizing radical and terrorism issues which are often directed at Muslims. This, of course, injures the authority of Muslims in the eyes of other religions. Many people use the guise of Islam to destroy Islam. This problem then needs to be addressed by returning to the source of the Islamic education system and curriculum, it is called Islamic boarding school. YPMI Al Firdaus boarding school in Semarang, have produced graduates who master religious knowledge in depth. In addition, the students are provided with learning books related to morals, fiqh and Sufism, so it is hoped that this Islamic boarding school will give birth to qualified Islamic generations, able to stem the flow of religious radicalism in the midst of a pluralistic Indonesian society. This type of research is descriptive qualitative field research. The results of this study then show that the YPMI Al Firdaus students with a complete understanding of Islam despite the variety of regions of origin, language and culture are able to apply the values of the pesantren and apply the principles of peace both within the Islamic boarding school and in the surrounding community.
This research focuses on optimalization of Islamic boarding school "pesantren" education. There is one important element that has faded from "pesantren", it is the mastering and understanding of kitab kuning. No more than 15% who can master the kitab kuning well, especially for students who study in modern pesantren. The author is aware of this condition during the placement test at one of the pesantren YPMI Al Firdaus in Semarang, Central Java, for prospective students "maha santri" who have gotten scholarships from the ministry of religion affairs. So the writer in this case will provide some concepts and ideas in order to revitalize the kitab kuning studying at pesantren based on unity of science with qualitative field research.
