Peran Pesantren Nurul Huda dalam Penyebaran Ilmu Falak Di Banten

Abstract

Pesantren is a means of developing Islamic faith, especially to develop the ability to interpret the core of Islamic teachings. Pesantren is also an educational institution in Banten, namely Nuruh Huda Baros pesantren. This pesantren specializes in the deepening of Falak Science. Falak science is a science that studies the trajectory of celestial bodies, such as sun, moon, stars and other celestial bodies, in order to know the position of other heavenly bodies.

This research concludes that the pesantren Nurul Huda was the first pesantren to develop Falak Science in Banten. The first creator of Falak Science in Banten is KH. E Mohammad Hilmi. Learning process undertaken by KH. E. Mohammad Hilmi uses several books of Falak Scripture namely the book Taqriebul Maqsad, Fathurrouful mannan, and Sulamun Nayyirain. The process of dissemination conducted by KH. E. Mohammad Hilmi by establishing Pesantren Nurul Huda, spread the Hijri calendar as much as 2000 calendar for one year both in Banten and outside Banten. KH.E Mohamad Hilmi plays a role in spreading Falak Science in Pesantren Nurul Huda Baros until 2005 but the distribution of Falak Science still berlansgung until now which is currently led by his son KH. E Mohammad Hilmi namely Muchtar Luthfi and Mochamad Zaeni Dahlan

Pesantren Nurul Huda begins with the construction of Diniyah Madrasah building is very simple as much as 3 (three) rooms only bamboo walls and roofed chiral leaves. Then in 1952 was built piecemeal musholla dankobongsantri which at that time only amounted to three students.

Departing from the above background, it is deemed necessary to conduct research on the role of Pesantren Nurul Huda in the Spreading of Falak Science in Banten because the author argues that Pesantren Nurul Huda in the distribution of Falak Science in Banten is very interesting and very needed for the community.
