Traces of Struggle from Village to Islamic Boarding School<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abuya Moh Wahyudi was born on November 24, 1974, in Sengkan Village, Sukorejo, Pasuruan. He grew up in a modest family, guided by the hard work of his father, Da'i, a factory worker, and his mother, Siti Aminah, a resilient figure who traded in the market and ran a small business from home. From a young age, Abuya was known for his cheerful disposition, his love of soccer, and his fondness for herding goats around the Chinese cemetery, which became part of his childhood memories.<\/p>

But behind that cheerfulness, his passion for learning was incredibly strong. After elementary school, he studied the Quran at Madrasah Diniyah with Ustaz Salip, then continued studying the Quran until nighttime with teachers who shaped his morals and academic foundation. In fourth grade, his parents sent him to the Al-Mas'udi Islamic Boarding School under the guidance of KH. Mudhoffir Ali, where he studied the Quran deeply, eventually meeting and studying with KH. Dzulhilmi Ghozali Al-Hafiz, who instilled in him a deep love for the Quran. This is where his journey into the world of Islamic boarding schools began.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After graduating from elementary school, Abuya continued his studies at MTs Ma\u2019arif Sukorejo while staying at Pesantren Al-Hidayah under the guidance of KH. Muslih Abdoesshomad and KH. Mudjtaba Abdoesshomad. For 13 years, he deeply studied classical Islamic books \u2014 from Jurumiyah to Alfiyah, Safinah to Wahab, Ihya to Tafsir Jalalain, and many others \u2014 while also dedicating himself to teaching the Qur\u2019an to other students. His teaching methods were always creative and innovative, including translating the book Syifaul Jinan into Indonesian nadzom (rhymed verses) to make it easier to understand.<\/p>

To this day, Abuya continues to maintain his Qur\u2019an memorization by reviewing an average of five juz each day, even amid his busy schedule. For him, reciting the Qur\u2019an during night prayers is like \u201cdirectly submitting it to Allah.\u201d His life principle, \u201cBelieve you can, you must, and you will,\u201d reflects his perseverance. Abuya is not only an educator and a defender of the Qur\u2019an but also a true role model who instills the values of manners, knowledge, and sincerity in everyone who learns from him.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Abuya Mohammad Wahyudi began his pesantren education in the fourth grade of elementary school and continued into adulthood. This long journey was not only a pursuit of knowledge, but also a shaping of character, life values, and vision. Throughout his years in various pesantren, he studied under numerous ulama and kyai, each from institutions with their own unique strengths \u2014 from traditional salafiyah pesantren to institutions focusing on language and the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>

These teachers imparted not just knowledge, but also became role models of sincerity, honesty, discipline, and perseverance in guiding students. Their influence strongly shaped Abuya\u2019s view of education, and became the foundation for building the educational system at YAHQI Islamic Boarding School.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Struggle for Knowledge in University<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After completing his education at the equivalent of Madrasah Aliyah (Islamic Senior High School), Abuya Moh. Wahyudi chose to remain at Al-Hidayah Islamic Boarding School to serve his teachers. He firmly believed that the blessings of knowledge come from sincere devotion. Amid his busy service, he took a major step by continuing his studies at IAIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya (now UINSA), majoring in Muamalah Jinayah at the Faculty of Sharia.<\/p>

Before being accepted, he made a vow: if he passed the entrance exam, he would walk from Wonokromo to Ngampel while reciting the Qur\u2019an until completion. He truly fulfilled that vow. His university journey was filled with perseverance. Every day, he commuted from Sukorejo to Surabaya using a monthly train pass that cost only forty thousand rupiahs. He had to arrive at the station before dawn, sometimes standing the entire trip because there were no available seats. On the train, he spent his time reviewing the Qur\u2019an, reading books, or engaging in conversations with fellow passengers.<\/p>

Upon arriving at Wonokromo Station, he walked for about 30 minutes to reach the campus, as he couldn\u2019t afford public transportation. Even when floods inundated the area, he continued walking through knee-deep water, determined to seek knowledge.<\/p>

University life was far from easy. In addition to paying his own tuition fees, Abuya also helped finance his younger sibling\u2019s education. Many times, he had to endure hunger. To survive, he brought simple rice cakes (lontong) and quietly ate them in the campus mosque restroom so that his friends wouldn\u2019t notice. Yet despite these hardships, his determination never wavered.<\/p>

On campus, Abuya was known as a humble student. He was always the first to arrive and often volunteered to carry his lecturers\u2019 bags. He did not do this to gain attention, but because he believed that honoring teachers opens the door to the blessings of knowledge.<\/p>

Starting from his third semester, Abuya began to pursue writing more seriously. He sent his first manuscripts to various publishers, but all were rejected. Refusing to give up, he visited bookstores to note down publishers\u2019 contact details listed in the opening pages of books.<\/p>

That long struggle finally bore fruit. His manuscript titled Ahkamu Qira\u2019atil Qur\u2019an (The Laws of Qur\u2019anic Recitation) was successfully published. The book received an excellent response and even reached international readers in Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. From the royalties of his first book, Abuya was able to live more decently, support his sibling\u2019s education in Pare, Kediri, and ease the burden on his parents.<\/p>

Writing, in fact, was not new to him. During his time at Al-Hidayah, he had managed a magazine and bulletin for alumni and the youth of Al-Muhlashin Mosque. That experience became a valuable foundation for producing his later, greater works.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After spending about 13 years studying and serving sincerely at Al-Hidayah Islamic Boarding School, Abuya Moh. Wahyudi finally received permission from his teacher to embark on a new journey. Although he left the boarding school, he was still entrusted with the responsibility of teaching once a week. Before parting, KH. Mudjtaba gave him a message he would never forget:<\/p>

\u201cI would rather have you be far away but bring benefit to society and uphold the good name of the pesantren.\u201d<\/p>

With that message in mind, Abuya began a new chapter of his life in Surabaya. However, challenges quickly arose. He needed a place to stay near the campus, but he had no money for rent or boarding. The only option was to live in a small prayer hall (musholla) near the campus and serve as its caretaker (marbot). Every day before sunrise, he would sweep the yard clean\u2014doing it while it was still dark out of modesty, so that no one would see him. He also performed the call to prayer (azan) and led prayers whenever needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

Amid his busy university schedule, Abuya also taught private Qur\u2019an lessons. He willingly traveled long distances across various parts of Surabaya to teach children how to read the Qur\u2019an. He did it sincerely\u2014both as a form of da\u2019wah and a way to sustain his life.<\/p>

In addition, Abuya enriched his knowledge by taking Arabic courses at Madrosatul Alsun under the guidance of KH. Muhammad Nasher, an Arabic language expert who had studied for many years in Saudi Arabia. For about three years, Abuya studied there and even lived at his teacher\u2019s residence toward the end of his studies, receiving direct mentorship. During that time, he also had the opportunity to learn alongside figures such as Prof. Akhmad Muzakki (Rector of UINSA Surabaya) and Prof. Moh. Thohir (Dean of FTK UINSA Surabaya), among others.<\/p>

Life in Surabaya truly became a \u201cuniversity of life\u201d for Abuya. He learned the essence of patience, perseverance, and trust in Allah. Sleeping in a prayer hall, eating from the generosity of locals, and living with very limited means never made him complain. Instead, those experiences molded him into a stronger and humbler person.<\/p>

After completing four years of study at IAIN Sunan Ampel, Abuya received a scholarship offer to continue his education abroad at Jami\u2019ah Afriqiyah Al-\u2018Alamiah (University of Africa). However, due to financial constraints for the trip, he chose not to pursue it and instead devoted himself to serving his own country.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Life in the Land of Wander: Embracing Destiny with Sincerity<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In his youth, Abuya Moh. Wahyudi was not someone driven by great ambition or a meticulously planned life. For him, life was a simple journey\u2014to strive to become a better person each day, to accept Allah\u2019s decree with an open heart, and to carry out every entrusted responsibility with sincerity and dedication.<\/p>

He never imagined that one day he would establish and lead a large cooperative like the Holding Koperasi BMT NU Ngasem Group\u2014the first cooperative holding in Indonesia and a National Champion\u2014nor that he would found an Islamic boarding school with thousands of students under the Yayasan Hafizh Qur\u2019an Indonesia (YAHQI), or even create the YAHQI Method, which is now used by many Qur\u2019anic institutions. All of these were not born out of personal ambition, but rather unfolded as divine destiny, revealed by Allah one step at a time.<\/p>

For Abuya, every trust is a divine deposit. When a student comes to learn from him, it means Allah has entrusted him with that soul. When given a task, he fulfills it wholeheartedly without seeking personal gain.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

His long journey of learning and service led him to various regions across Indonesia. In the early 2000s, he lived in Kalimantan and worked as a teacher. Although his stay there was brief, the experience enriched his understanding of life. In 2001, he moved to Jakarta and joined LBIQ (Lembaga Bahasa dan Ilmu Al-Qur\u2019an), an institution focused on Arabic language and Qur\u2019anic studies. In the capital, he also worked in publishing as an editor, sharpening his writing skills and deepening his knowledge of the Qur\u2019an.<\/p>

The year 2003 marked a new chapter when he moved to Bandung to study at Ma\u2019had Al-Qur\u2019an wa Dirosah Islamiyah (MAQDIS). There, he not only pursued his studies but also began building an independent life. His encounters with Qur\u2019an scholars from across the country at MAQDIS further strengthened his commitment to the world of knowledge and da\u2019wah.<\/p>

Wherever he went, one thing remained constant\u2014his presence in circles of knowledge: small halaqah gatherings, discussion forums, and Qur\u2019anic assemblies that became an inseparable part of his life.<\/p>

Finally, the year 2004 became a turning point that changed the course of his life. In that year, Allah destined him to meet a young woman from Ngasem, Bojonegoro, who would later become his life companion\u2014a marriage that marked the beginning of a great journey in building works of devotion and service to the ummah.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
