Through the data that the author has collected, the author finds various facts. First, the millennial era can be called the post-modern era. This era is defined by some experts as the era of back to spiritual and moral or back to religion. Meanwhile, the Industrial Revolution 4.0 is a comprehensive transformation of all aspects of production in industry through the merger of digital and internet technology with conventional industries.

Pesantren, which is the blue print of Indonesia's original education since hundreds of years ago, does not necessarily make it a static and backward educational institution.

Pesantren strives to always open a space for dialog by adopting new values that are more relevant and bring maslahat as well as more perfect in maintaining the existence of pesantren. This is in line with the Al-Muhafadatu 'ala al-Qadimi al-Shalih wa al-Akhdu bi al-Jadid al-Ashlah rule.
