Comments about Ma’had Al-Zaytun from News Papers:
Al Zaytun, or Pondok Pesantren Modern Al'Zaytun, formally opened by President B.J. Habibie in 1999, and occupying some 1,200 hectares in Mekarja, Gantar (Haurgeulis), Indramayu, West Java, and led by one Syekh Panji Gumilang was visited by vice-president Muhammad Jusuf Kalla, Minister of Religion Maftuh Basyuni, and Deputy Governor of West Java, Nu'man A. Hakim, on the 20th to celebrate Islamic New Year. It is home to over 10,000 students, including some from Malaysia , Singapore , South Africa , and Brunei
After Kalla & co's visit journalists questioned Syekh Panji Gumilang over accusations that he was the 9th Area Commander of the Negara Islam Indonesia (NII), otherwise known as Darul Islam (DI), a movement which in the past has violently fought, particularly in West Java , for the establishment of an Islamic state. Gumilang said:
That's not true. Al Zaytun is a centre for the development of a tolerant and peaceful culture [quoting the school's motto].
Journalists said they had information from sources in Jakarta
Journalists then asked Gumilang for information on how the NII operated these days to which he again replied that Al Zaytun was just a school. [1]
Previously Kalla had given a speech in which he urged for the modernisation of Islamic schools and he praised Al Zaytun as an example of a religious education school that had left behind the image of Islamic schools as cramped, dirty, and simple places. [3]
Al-Zaytun boarding school enjoys impressive growth
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
Muhammad Nafik, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta
Al-Zaytun is a relatively new but hugely wealthy Islamic boarding school or pesantren located in the remote village of Mekar Jaya in Haurgeulis subdistrict, Indramayu regency, West Java . It's about 32 kilometers from the Indramayu-Jakarta highway.
Its vast and quick growth has impressed many people, particularly those involved in running similar Islamic boarding schools across the country.
Several graduates of many other pesantren have said it was an incredibly stunning project carried out by Al-Zaytun.
Despite the monetary crisis first to batter Indonesia
The construction of its first buildings started in 1996.
Al-Zaytun (olive tree in Arabic) was established in 1993 as Indonesian Pesantren Foundation (YPI) on 1,200 hectares of originally swamp land that now have been converted into fertile plots. The scale is equal to around five times of the total area of Jakarta
However, studies began on July 1, 1999 at the junior high school. One month later, the then president, B.J. Habibie inaugurated the pesantren.
Only in three years after its opening, Al-Zaytun has managed to recruit more than 5,300 female and male students -- from across Indonesia
Only 200 hectares of the land is used to house the Al-Zaytun's education complex and the remaining 1,000 hectares for farmland and agricultural business aimed at supporting the finance of Al-Zaytun.
The pesantren is far larger than another modern Islamic boarding school called Gontor in the East Java town of Ponorogo
Al-Zaytun is not a typical pesantren in Indonesia Southeast Asia .
It has a five-story hotel comprising of 150 rooms, which is designed on commercial basis for parents, guests and other visitors who prefer to check in. The profits generated from the business are used to help finance Al-Zaytun. The large hotel also has seminar and conference facilities, and a restaurant.
Also available in the complex are a minimarket, a large mosque to accommodate around 8,000 people, and sports facilities including a soccer stadium. In an addition to this, the pesantren is drawing a plan to build a new, large sports stadium to match international standards.
Al-Zaytun is also currently completing the construction of a giant six-story mosque on 6.5 hectare-land to be equipped with a 130-meter high minaret that will be higher than the country's only 45-meter high National Monument (Monas) in Jakarta Jakarta , or even the biggest in Southeast Asia .
All major buildings were constructed with steel the pesantren imported from Poland
Al-Zaytun is almost self-sufficient in fulfilling its daily needs, with its own herds of dairy and beef cattle along with goats, sheep, chicken, fish farming, pepper and rice fields.
It is equipped with a rice huller plant, a furniture factory, a steel processing plant and printing equipment. Large plantations of high-quality teak, which is used to make furniture for offices and classrooms, are also found there.
Al-Zaytun is now moving to expand its presence in at least 342 cities throughout the country, where hundreds of hectares of land have been prepared. The expansion has started in Subang in West Java , and Banten.
The subjects taught in Al-Zaytun correspond to those outlined in the national education curricula by the Ministry of National Education and the Ministry of Religious Affairs.
Human rights, constitutional law and journalism are among the subjects for students of the pesantren's junior high school, which also include basic Islamic teachings, such as Qur'anic reading and memorization as well as Islamic history.
The Pancasila state ideology, which becomes the standard subject in most of the country's schools, is not on offer in the pesantren.
Arabic and English are spoken at Al-Zaytun, although they are yet compulsory for its students. The pesantren management said other foreign languages, including Chinese, will also be taught there.

Ma’had Al-Zaytun at a glance:
All negative comments about Ma’had Al-Zaytun, the centre of Education, Peace and Tolerances development from the beginning of establishment until today is just because of the competition among Islamic Boarding Schools Leaders.
Ma’had Al-Zaytun from the beginning until the present time is taken easy all of negative and positive comments, as the most important thing is how to educate Indonesian Muslims and Indonesian in general, that we have to live together with love and peace.
