From President Soekarno’s era to President Prabowo, Indonesian heads of state have historically visited Pondok Modern Darussalam Gontor.

President Prabowo Subianto says he is growing more confident attending events, claiming that his administration's work has produced results.

President Prabowo Subianto accused certain professors of failing to see injustice and instead defending foreign interests during his speech at the 100th anniversary celebration of Gontor.

Prabowo Subianto referenced the ongoing situation in Palestine during his speech at the 100th Anniversary of Gontor, calling on Indonesia to build strength to aid the oppressed.
