The Initial Situation of Dayah Darul Huda in Langsa City

In 1962, Dayah Darul Huda was in a very difficult condition. Teungku Usman Basyah, as the founder and main character, played an important role in spreading Islamic science in the area. Before the existence of dayah, the Langsa community did not have adequate access to Islamic education. With emergency barracks built from bamboo and the roof of the Rumbia, this institution struggled to survive in the midst of limited environmental facilities and conditions that were less supportive. The region was still very quiet, and the lack of electric lighting was a significant obstacle for teaching and learning activities, especially at night. The initial situation of Dayah Darul Huda was a reflection of the challenges faced by the community in accessing quality Islamic education.

Process of Modernization of Dayah Darul Huda

Modernization of Dayah Darul Huda is inseparable from the social and political changes that occurred in Aceh. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Western education system began to enter Aceh as part of the pacific political policy implemented by the Dutch East Indies government. This provided an alternative for people who were previously focused on Islamic education through the Dayah system. With the initiative of Acehnese scholars who studied in Mecca, efforts emerged to carry out renewal in dayah education. The aim was to harmonize the Islamic education system with a more modern development of general education, so that people were not lagging behind. The modernization of Dayah Darul Huda was a response to the changing needs of the community and the introduction of Western education.

Second, better management and administrative aspects contributed to improving the quality of education. In addition, support in the form of adequate facilities and infrastructure was the key to improving the learning experiences of the students. The modernization of Dayah Darul Huda was driven by a desire to improve the quality of education and provide better opportunities for the students.

Challenges and Opportunities

Despite the efforts to modernize Dayah Darul Huda, challenges remained. Some people still chose general educational institutions as the first choice for their children. This shows the dynamics in the choice of education faced by the community, between maintaining tradition and following new developments. The modernization of Dayah Darul Huda presented both challenges and opportunities for the institution and the community.

Conclusion

Overall, Darul Huda's Dayah journey in Langsa City from 1962 to 2005 illustrates how this Islamic educational institution succeeded in adapting to the changing times.
