Istighotsah Virtual di Pesantren Darul Qawa’id Jombang Sebagai Media Kegiatan di Tengah Pandemi COVID-19 : Kajian Living Al-Qur’an dan Hadis

Abstract

Religion and carrying out religious rituals that are believed to be in order to get closer to God are two sides of a coin, both are intertwined and complementary in the history of human faith. Even so for the Muslim community, faith in Allah swt is indeed located in the heart, but religious behavior by carrying out obligations, Sunnah, permissible or to stay away from haram and makruh is inevitable. Interestingly, the religious behavior of Muslims often does not stop at the five things above. Sometimes there are also religious traditions that are perpetuated in a particular culture or region and become common sense.

No exception with the Istighotsah every Friday night, activities that are generally carried out at Nahdliyyin Islamic Boarding Schools in Indonesia have become routine for all students. Like the Darul Qawaid Islamic Boarding School which routinely performs Istighotsah and Mujahadah on every Thursday night. Thursday or Friday night was chosen because today is believed to be Sayyidul Ayyam, so today routine educational activities are usually closed but filled with praying and doing spiritual activities together in Istighotsah activities.
