Biography by M. Gama Alhafeezy Maunandar, student of 1-B from Bogor
Jazmi Zulhilmi Putra is his full name. He was born in Sukabumi, West Java, on the second of July 1992. Two months after he was born, he immediately moved abroad to Myanmar and lived there until he was eight years old. Then, he returned to Indonesia for four years.
He studied at the Indonesian Birma School from first to second grade of elementary school. After that, he returned to Indonesia and continued his education at SDN Cisaat Gadis from third grade until graduation. He then pursued his studies at MTS Sunanul Huda before enrolling at the Indonesian School in Singapore until his second year of senior high school. Later, he entered Darussalam Gontor as a Taksifi student. He went to Gontor because his father instructed him to study there, as he wanted Mr. Jazmi to strengthen his worship and connection with Allah.
During his teenage years, he lived in Bedok Court Avenue 3 in Singapore. There, he excelled in playing soccer, earning him the nickname “Ronaldinho” among his peers. Every day, he played soccer with his friends and usually brought only two dollars to school, which was equivalent to around five thousand rupiah in Indonesia, to buy street food. He often had small debts to local vendors. His father was also a dedicated educator, teaching pupils in the morning and lecturing university students in the afternoon or evening.
In 2007, Mr. Jazmi began his studies at Darussalam Gontor and graduated in 2011. He then served at Gontor from 2011 until 2019, where he held a prominent administrative position during his first years of service. He managed financial transactions amounting to Rp. 22,000,000,000.00. As an Ustadz, he had the opportunity to meet Indonesia’s sixth president, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY), and Jusuf Kalla in 2017, as well as comedian Sule in 2018.
While serving, he continued his higher education, pursuing a bachelor’s degree (S1) at UNIDA Gontor, majoring in Islamic Education (PAI) from 2012 to 2016. He then continued his studies at UIN Bandung, majoring in Aqidah and Philosophy, before transferring to MBI from 2017 to 2019. After completing his studies, he moved to Medina from 2019 to 2021.
In 2021, he married the woman of his choice, believing it was Allah’s will and mercy. After marriage, he served at a boarding school in Manglayang Mountain, Bandung, called Ruhul Quran Mumtaz. Many of the students there were from Nusa Tenggara. He dedicated several years to teaching, despite the difficult journey to reach the school. Eventually, he was called by the chief of Darul Ilmi Indonesia Boarding School, KH. Syamsul Arifin Nababan, to serve and teach there. Alhamdulillah, he accepted the invitation, although he arrived one semester late due to his father’s request for him to grow into a good and kind person.
Mr. Jazmi has various competencies. One of his notable skills is public speaking, for which he has been recognized as the best speaker. Additionally, he has the ability to analyze personalities through handwriting, for which he has received official certification. He has also completed 17 other specialized courses.
