Brilio.net - Japan is a country that is familiar to Indonesians. This developed country located in East Asia is often one of the destinations for many Indonesians, whether to study, work or just travel.
Even so, Japan is a country with a number of Muslim minorities. This is very different from Indonesia, which is known as a country where the majority of the population adheres to Islam.
With Islam as the majority religion, the profession of being a preacher or Koran teacher is common in Indonesia. The opposite happened in Japan.
So it is difficult to imagine that working as a Koran teacher in the country of Sakura is actually carried out by an Indonesian citizen who is flooded with attention on social media. Who would have thought, this Indonesian citizen would have a unique fate. His figure became a Koran teacher in Japan.
What's even more amazing is that this Koran teacher has quite a lot of students from children to the elderly.

In a video he uploaded, Adhitya shared the moment he was teaching a native Japanese boy to recite the Koran using the Iqra book, a Koran learning book that is also commonly used in Indonesia. Uniquely, Adhitya taught the boy to recite the Koran in Japanese.
Dressed in Muslim clothes, Adhitya was very diligent in teaching the boy. The boy, who wore a cap and wore a maroon koko shirt, paid close attention to the explanation given by his Koran teacher.

Even though he is a teacher, Adhitya seems to act egalitarian with his students. Several times, Adhitya was seen very close to the students. Sometimes they don't even hesitate to immortalize the moment by posing together.
" Let's read regularly every day, " he wrote.
It is known that Adhitya is a teacher of the Koran and also a marbot at the Darussalam Mosque, in the Nishio area, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The Muslim place of worship was the first location that he considered comfortable while living in Sakura Country.
" The Darussalam Nishio Mosque, the first place I made the most comfortable place in Japan, " he wrote in one of the posts.

Through his profession, Adhitya hopes that teaching staff and students will always have convenience when studying.
" Hopefully it will be easy for teachers and madrasah children to learn to read the Iqra/Al-Quran and they will always be given good health, " he wrote.
Because of his story about teaching the Koran in the land of the rising sun, Adhitya received a lot of appreciation from netizens. Not a few received praise and prayers.
" Long and blessed will your life be, until the successor of your people is born from your children, I will truly testify to your struggle, amen, " wrote the owner of the @GPS account praying.
" Masya Allah... Barokallah sis... I can't imagine how difficult it is to teach in a minority country. I'm also a Koran teacher in Indonesia, it's nothing, " said @faridah2108
" I also had the idea of becoming a Koran teacher in Japan. Hopefully one day it will happen, " said the account @okanemochiii which was answered, "Let's gas," by Adhitya.
" My dream is to go to Japan, but I only graduated from boarding school. But when I saw this video, I became enthusiastic and wanted to go to Japan, " wrote the account @minda_almutaangkat.
