Muhammad Murtadho Dimyathi

Abuya Kyai Hajji Muhammad Murtadho bin Dimyathi al-Bantani (Arabic: محمد مرتضى بن دمياطي البنتني, romanized: Muḥammad Murtaḍā bin Dimyāṭī al-Bantanī, Arabic pronunciation: [muħammad mur'tadˤaː bin dimjaːtˤiː al-bantaniː]; born January 19, 1958) or better known as Abuya Murtadho is an Indonesian Muslim cleric from Banten. He is an influential Bantenese cleric whose character is often used as a reference for politicians to visit his residence, including figures from political parties, the police, high-ranking institutions, even presidential and vice-presidential candidates.

Together with his older brother Abuya Ahmad Muhtadi Dimyathi, Murtadho was one of the caregivers at the Islamic boarding school founded by his father, Pondok Pesantren Cidahu, Pandeglang Regency. His father, Abuya Muhammad Dimyathi, founded the Islamic boarding school in Cidahu in 1963 after conducting scientific and religious studies with several ulama in Java and surrounding areas. Abuya Dimyathi later died on October 3 2003, while the management of the Islamic boarding school was then handed over to his children, including Murtadho.
