At that time, Thawalib Sumatra Padang Panjang is organized as a modern educational institution with a structured curriculum. But he also did not separate the community life: social, economic, and politic, so that graduates are not awkward in the face of society. This educational products that can be reflected in the present, so that the building concept of aqidah (tauhid) is not only interpreted as the oneness of Allah SWT. as the only God is worthy of worship.
