Becoming a Tech-Savvy, Faithful, and Financially Independent Generation
It is truly an incredible honor for me. After spending more than 25 years in the world of IT, Allah has guided me to join Pesantren Digital Alazhariyyah Salatiga. A modern Islamic boarding school that doesn’t only teach Islamic knowledge but also equips its students with the digital skills needed to thrive, compete, and become truly useful for the ummah.
Why did I decide to join?
Because here, I see a great vision: to create a new generation of santri who master Islamic knowledge, understand technology, and build their own online businesses. Not just as technology users, but as creators, developers, digital marketers, and even techno-preneurs who can proudly carry the banner of Islam in the global digital era.
📚 Founded by Two Inspiring Figures
Pesantren Digital Alazhariyyah Salatiga was founded by two incredible people:
- Dr. KH. Ahmad Mifdhol Muthohar, Lc, MSI. – lecturer at UIN Salatiga and Mudir of Pondok Pesantren Alhikmah Karanggede, Boyolali.
- Habiburrahman El Shirazy, Lc, MA – best-selling author of Ayat-Ayat Cinta and Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, both adapted into successful films.
Together, they share a big dream: to raise students with triple competence: strong Islamic knowledge, advanced tech skills, and entrepreneurial spirit.
✍ What Makes Learning Here Different?
Here, I and the team teach programs that are truly relevant to today’s world:
✅ Computer Science – programming fundamentals, algorithms, and computational thinking.
✅ Digital Marketing Academy – how to market products and services online, run digital ad campaigns, and build your personal brand.
✅ Content Creator Academy – creating engaging content for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok; video editing, graphic design, and digital storytelling.
✅ Hacking & Cyber Security – understanding how hackers work, protecting data, and building secure systems.
✅ Software and Apps Developers – learning to build mobile and web applications, from idea to release.

🌱 A Story: Why This Matters
I still remember when I first learned about computers; it took a long time just to understand the basics. But now, technology changes incredibly fast. Sadly, many young people today only become viewers and consumers on social media — not the creators.
At Pesantren Digital Alazhariyyah, we want to change that. We want students to become active makers, developers, and leaders in the digital world.
Imagine a student who memorizes the Qur’an, can code, builds Islamic apps, runs a popular YouTube dakwah channel, or creates an online store that helps support their family.
Isn’t that amazing?

🔧 Skills You Will Gain
By studying here, students will Insha’Allah gain practical and valuable skills, including:

All of this is taught without forgetting the most important foundation: deepening Islamic knowledge. So every creative work and business stays within the path of goodness.
