The homeland of the archipelago, especially the Java region, has given birth to many prestigious scholars and claimants of syar'i. This fact is revealed in historical records from the 18th to 20th centuries, where Nusantara significantly became the source of birth of international class scholars.

By strengthening religious and ethical values, Shaykh Mahfudz at Tarmasi became an inspiring model for Islamic education.
