It was attended by all management directors, teachers and  families, presenting the special guest, Habib Achmad Jamal bin Thoha Baagil.

Ustadz Imam Awaludin, Lc, M. Ag, PhD, as Chief of Waqf, Endowment and Partnership, delivering a welcoming speech, stated in the age of 10,  Thursina family has increased considerably. There are 1264 students of Thursina, combined with all teachers, then it is almost two thousand of Thursina families. "Hopefully, Thursina would benefit the community both in the national  and international levels," added Ustadz Awal.

By the theme strengthening brotherhood for uniting people, Habib Jamal, as he is familiarly called, conveyed on how necessary it is to forgive each other.

According to the word of Allah, whoever forgives others and loves peace, his reward is written more than 10 times, in fact only Allah knows the reward. "With His generosity, the reward will definitely be greater," he explained.

Quoting one of Imam Syafii sayings, indeed Allah rewards a person who apologizes or forgives one mistake of other on him, with erasing 2000 major sins. "Alfaini kabiroh, two thousand major sins," stressed Habib Jamal. The words are enough to convince us that we need to forgive and apologize others. The muslims need to practice this good teaching.

Habib Jamal added, Tsalasah maqasid, three foundations have to be instilled in students. Firstly, Islamic boarding school has to take vital role in teaching comprehensive knowledge. The source of knowledge must be evident. "The chain of knowledge is crucial part of religion and acquires to be accounted for," he explained.

The second is Tazkiyatun Nufs. Tazkiyatun Nufs is the key since knowledge without purification of the soul will be aimless. Even to the point of fatwa that it can be changed when knowledge is not based on sanctification of the self. He told that knowledge is piety, required to be based on purification of the heart.

The final point is to inculcate, in the hearts of students, how necessary spreading the religion of Allah. The alumni of Islamic boarding schools have ideals and ambitions to open up of Islam. "The third point is essential to ingrain as the graduates have traveled the world," he said.

The three elements are required to be promoted because these would maintain the quality of students and alumni. "The three major aspects are not only for students, but also for the teachers and the educators, thus students and graduates are excellent," he concluded. (lil)
