Abstrak

This article aims to examine the historical development of Islamic education in Thailand, focusing on three main aspects: the arrival of Islam, the development of Islamic educational institutions, and the dynamics of Islamic higher education. Islam entered Thailand in the 13th century through trade routes involving Muslim traders from Arabia, Persia, and India, particularly in Southern Thailand. Along with the process of Islamization, Muslim communities established traditional religious education systems such as pondok (Islamic boarding schools) and tawakkal (Islamic boarding schools) as a means of transmitting Islamic teachings and establishing an Islamic identity. Over time, Islamic education has undergone a transformation through the integration of the madrasah (Islamic school) system, combining religious and general curricula in response to Thailand's national education policy. At the higher education level, institutions such as the College of Islamic Studies and Fatoni University play a strategic role in the development of Islamic scholarship, strengthening Muslim academic capacity, and fostering dialogue between Islam, the state, and modernity. This research employs a historical-descriptive approach with analysis of primary and secondary literature. The results reveal that the function of Islamic education in Thailand encompasses a broad range of aspects, from religious to socio-cultural, in order to maintain the identity of the Thai Muslim community.
