Message from the Director of Islamic Boarding Schools

Ministry of Religious Affairs,
Republic of Indonesia

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Welcome to the official website of The 1st MQK International 2025. This event is a valuable platform for students of Islamic boarding schools (santri) from countries in the Southeast Asian region to celebrate the Islamic intellectual heritage through critical reading of classical Islamic texts (turats).

MQKN is not merely a competition; it is an academic and cultural forum that strengthens the role of Islamic boarding schools as centers of knowledge, dialogue, and humanity. We invite the wider community to make MQKN a shared moment in shaping a generation of santri who can embody environmental ethics and the spirit of global peace through the profound legacy of the Kitab Kuning (classical Islamic texts).

Wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Dr. H. Basnang Said, M.Ag
