Abstract: The pondok is Malaysia's earliest traditional Islamic learning institution. Its contributions, especially in the development of Islamic education in Malaysia specifically and Southeast Asia in general, cannot be denied. The pondok institution is an Islamic learning institution that has become an integral part of the Malay community and operates steadfastly despite facing numerous challenges due to the changing times and globalisation. The objective of this research is: To study the history of pondok institution in Malaysia and to identify the steps that have been taken to preserve the pondok institution as an Islamic learning institution in Malaysia. This research will fully apply library research, by referring to books, journal articles and proceeding papers. The findings of this research will show that the pondok institution has garnered attention from various parties, including the government in ensuring the continuity of these institutions in Islamic education in Malaysia. The pondok institution has its own importance in spreading the teachings of Islam, as well as in Islamic education, though it faces numerous challenges especially in today's modernised world of education. It is evident that the efforts carried out to ensure these institutions remain strong as a champion of Islamic education for the Malay community, especially in ensuring the survival of the pondok institution, is continued to this day. This is considering the fact that for generations, the pondok institution has contributed to intellectual activities, the spread of the religious and the development of Islamic knowledge to the Islamic community in general.
