ACTNews, LABUHANBATU – Irsyadul
Islamiyah Islamic Boarding School in Sei Kasih Village, Bilah Hilir District,
Labuhanbatu Regency has been neglected since the passing of its caretaker.
There was no substitute teacher nor successor who managed the schools. It was
left deserted.
Then, Ustaz M. Rahayum came to Sei Kasih Village and gave hope for the
residents to revive the Islamic Boarding School. The building of the school was
renovated and is now functional. The locals hope that religious activities can
resume in the school.
“If the Islamic boarding school is left abandoned, then there no more place for children in this village to study Islam. Since the caretaker of this school passed away, no one wanted to continue his work,” said Ustaz Rahayum, Tuesday (8/17/2021).

Ustaz Rahayum worked together with the local residents to renovate the
school building. They contribute both physically and financially to the
renovation of the Islamic boarding school. Although the renovation has not been
completed, the academic activities in the school have resumed albeit limited.
“The building is still under renovation. However, because it can be
used, learning activities have started even though they are still limited. The students
are mostly the children of local residents,” he said.

Rahayum does not charge the students. He is currently working on restoring the
Islamic Boarding School so he feels that it is important that the students feel
comfortable. To him, tuition costs can be burdensome for the students. "It takes courage and high dedication in
doing this," he said. []
