INTRODUCTION

Pondok Al Jaafar is a school study based on AlQuran and Hadith. The purpose of the Pondok is
to educate people about the importance of
religious life and society. Pondok Al Jaafar also
provide opportunities for young people involved
with social issues such as drugs abuse, stealing,
illegal racing and the like to help people who
submit to his Creator. In the beginning, 42
students participated in this Pondok, which
mainly come from Perak, and the rest comes from other states.
The Pondok is very close to Gua Tempurung in Gopeng, Perak. From Islamic Science
University of Malaysia (USIM) the journey to get there will take about 3 hours by using the
North-South highway. Apart from the car, the way to go there can be using by bus and train.
This is our first time to go Pondok Al Jaafar, from our experience; the destination is easy to
search with by using a Waze application.
Ustaz Mohd Tarudi is the founder of Pondol Al Jaafar. He opened the Pondok with his
friends and other residents in Kampung Gunung Panjang .The villagers tried to find a village
house to use as a study of the Quran. After trying to search out the building eventually with
the help and sustenance from Allah, finally has some one of the resident agree to donated a
house to be used as a place of study Quran and Hadith .
We have visited Pondok Al-Jaafar on 23rd October 2015 on Friday. Our arrival there
was to get information about drug rehab treatment, which is practiced, in Pondok Al Jaafar.
Ustaz Mohd Tarudi welcomed our arrival along with two of his assistants and introduced
himself as ayah in this Pondok Al Jaafar.
The surrounding of the place Pondok Al Jaafar is very comfortable and refreshing.
This is because it is close to Gua tempurung and have beautiful lake around the cottage. The

situation is so gorgeous and makes us excited. Thus, indirectly revealing the beauty and
majesty of Allah s.w.t

OBJECTIVES
Pondok Al Jaafar was founded on the purpose to disclosure the knowledge and

understanding of religious life to young people and society. The methodology employed is
towards and inculcate the concept of Al-Quran and Sunnah to be used in daily live. The
advances of technologies and the needs to adapt healthy lifestyle according to Quran and As
Sunnah is is the main objectives in this Pondok. The modern world is not an obstacle for us to
continue and to culture studying the Quran.

Healthy competition we need to learn, handle and practiced continuously. Among the
things we need to do is identify the cause of the problem of existence of economic and social
gap between us. Addressing this problem is a shared responsibility and should be done
regularly, intelligent and persistent. Monopolize knowledge and practice in the context of
ongoing is the most important factor in realizing this objective. Upholding the Quran and
Sunnah and the practice is considered one of the routes to reduce and curb the social
phenomenon that is so prevalent in the present.
