“ Pesantren Daarut Tauhiid not only shows to the public
the blending of the warmth of eastern courtesy with the
softness of Islam
- something that is completely different from recent
negative image of Islam -
but it also provides a new spiritual urban culture that
physically manifests itself in the creation of a populist
and festive urban niche in Bandung “
