In summary, these three pesantren’s activities support a number of SDGs both directly and
indirectly, demonstrating their ability to address numerous aspects of sustainable development. In
accordance with the global goal for sustainable development, these institutions contribute significantly to
the promotion of economic development, environmental sustainability, and social well-being.

Conclusions
Tahfiz institutions stand out as key characters in the diversified and culturally rich tapestry of the
Malay Archipelago, carrying a history that spans decades. These organizations, which have their roots in
Islamic tradition, have worked to preserve the region's spiritual legacy while simultaneously tackling
today's most important issues, such as sustainability and communal well-being. The diverse historical,
cultural, and environmental contexts in which Tahfiz institutions are found in Indonesia have an impact on
the distinctive resource systems, governance models, and resource units that define them. In response to
the complex interplay of resources and community engagement, Pondok Pesantren Isy Karima in Solo,
Pesantren Al Maghfirah Gunung Geulis in Bogor, and Pesantren Masyarakat Merapi-Merbabu close to the
volcanic peaks of Merapi and Merbabu have demonstrated their resilience and flexibility.

These institutions are not independent entities, but rather interrelated parts of their social-
ecological systems, as research within the SES Framework demonstrates. Beyond their confines, the
lessons learned from their experiences are relevant to discussions about sustainable development around
the world. They highlight how effective religious organizations can be at bringing about positive change,
coordinating with local knowledge, and adhering to the Sustainable Development Goals. In conclusion,
Tahfiz institutions in the Malay Archipelago are not mere centers of religious education; they are vibrant
ecosystems that intertwine tradition, spirituality, community engagement, and sustainability.
