Prabowo Provides Assistance to Gontor Islamic Boarding School to Support Students’ Studies

President Prabowo Subianto has provided assistance to Gontor Islamic Boarding School in Ponorogo, East Java. The aid is intended to encourage students to study with greater enthusiasm and become intelligent people who can benefit others.

The assistance was delivered on Prabowo’s behalf by Deputy State Secretary Juri Ardiantoro, and witnessed by People’s Consultative Assembly Speaker Ahmad Muzani and Gerindra Party lawmaker Endipat. The delegation was warmly welcomed by Gontor’s leader, KH Hasan Abdullah Sahal.

“We have come to pay a courtesy visit and convey President Prabowo’s greetings to the entire Gontor Islamic Boarding School community. The President entrusted us with this assistance, which we are handing over to Gontor to support the students so they can study well and become people who benefit others, as well as the nation and state,” Juri Ardiantoro said in a statement on Friday (30 October 2026).

Muzani also expressed the hope that the students would study seriously, be obedient pupils and understand the lessons taught by their teachers.

He urged all students to keep doing good for others. Muzani said such kindness would be remembered for the benefit of fellow Muslims and the Indonesian nation.

“We can see that many Gontor alumni now hold leadership positions in this country—in the executive, legislative and judicial branches, among others. This is because Gontor continues to teach its students to keep doing good,” Muzani said.

“So I hope all of you will continue to do good, because it is a simple good deed that we can all carry out. The people around you, and even our beloved nation and state, will remember that kindness,” he added.

Muzani said Gontor Islamic Boarding School had made a major contribution to the community, the nation and religion, and had produced many national leaders and scholars.

“May Gontor continue to make its best contribution to the community, the people, our nation and state, and religion, and to produce outstanding students who are competitive not only nationally but also internationally,” he said.
