Salafiyah Al-Istiqlaliyah Islamic Boarding School was established in 1957 AD. It was founded by a great cleric in the Tangerang Regency area, named KH. Dimiyati (deceased). He was a cleric who had a strong commitment to maintaining the tradition of Islamic boarding schools which is currently also continued by his son, KH. Uci Turtusi since his death in early 2001. When the Tabloid Pondok Pesantren Team visited the Al-Istiqlaliyah Pesantren complex, there was no special impression from this pesantren, just like most pesantren in other places. According to one of the pesantren administrators we met, KH. Tohari (he is one of the sons of KH. Dimiyati), Salafiyah pesantren avoid popularity. In fact, according to him, "If necessary, the name of the pesantren is not necessary, what is important is that the implementation of Islamic knowledge teaching is carried out as well as possible", because the pesantren is a place to spread Islam to the community, and at the same time a role model for religious attitudes for the surrounding community. Maintaining Islamic traditions with a strong Sufism attitude is a unique feature among Salafiyah pesantren. Cilongok Village, Sukamantri Village, Pasar Kemis District, stands on an area of ​​± 4.5 ha. Currently, in the pesantren complex there are three mosques and one more outside the pesantren location. It is quite unique because it is not like most pesantren which only have one mosque. Because in this pesantren every Sunday after Fajr prayer, a grand assembly is always held for the wider community which is directly led by Abah Uci, as KH. Uci Turtusi is familiarly called. This tradition has been going on for a long time since the leadership of KH. Dimiyati. The number of congregations who attend this study group is also very large, no less than 5,000 people come from around Tangerang, Banten, Bogor, Bekasi and also Jakarta. In the grand assembly, the material given is more directed at spiritual guidance, religious ethics and calming advice for the community. This is a spiritual need for the wider community, especially in the Tangerang area. Not only for studying, the presence of the community during the grand assembly is also inseparable from the greatness of Abah Uci as a charismatic cleric who is known to have deep religious knowledge and blessings as a cleric. Not infrequently after the study, the guests who attended asked for blessings to be prayed for and conveyed their problems to be given guidance and solutions by Abah Uci. Being in the midst of a modern society with an industrial city landscape, does not shake the principles of this Islamic boarding school in maintaining the Salafiyah tradition. The traditional impression of the Al-Istiqlaliyah Islamic Boarding School is clearly visible in the management of the boarding school which still maintains a family system. The management of the Islamic boarding school is carried out by the extended family of the late KH. Dimiyati with the mandate of leadership held directly by Abah Uci (also assisted by the family). There is no student admission system, in the sense that student admission is open to all ages from children to adults. Administration is not charged to students who study at this Islamic boarding school, they are only asked to pay electricity fees of Rp. 5,000 per month. Meanwhile, in the learning process, there is no hierarchy, the students are free to follow the study of the yellow books taught by the kiai and asatidz at this Islamic boarding school.
