Using wisdom knowledge in dakwah to Allah

mahamasorreh yueroh — 2025-12-30

This documentary research aims to examine the application of wisdom (al-hikmah) in Islamic da‘wah (inviting others to Allah) within a multicultural social context. The study employs a method of collecting and reviewing relevant primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, followed by descriptive and historical analysis in accordance with the research objectives. The findings reveal that al- hikmah refers to the appropriateness and correctness of speech and action, comprising key elements such as knowledge, gentleness, and deliberation without haste. A da‘iyah who possesses wisdom must have sound knowledge of Allah and His commandments, demonstrate patience, gentleness, and prudence, and remain committed to the principle of justice. Wisdom is regarded as a divine favor granted by Allah, which those engaged in da‘wah must continuously seek through supplication. The model of da‘wah practiced by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), particularly during the pre-Hijrah period, exemplifies the application of wisdom through gentle admonition, rational engagement, and the avoidance of violence. The findings of this study may serve as a guideline for da‘wah practitioners in promoting peace, mutual understanding, and social harmony within multicultural societies.

A Survey of Teachers' Opinions on the Arabic Language Curriculum in Islamic Schools in Southern Thailand

abdunloh sabeh — 2025-12-30

This study aims to explore the opinions of Arabic language teachers in private Islamic schools in Southern Thailand regarding the Arabic language curriculum, with a particular focus on the challenges they face in teaching, the effectiveness of the curriculum, and the needs of the students, especially non-native Arabic speakers.

The researchers employed both analytical and quantitative methods, using questionnaires and interviews. The study covered 50 respondents from 10 private Islamic schools in Southern Thailand, with five teachers from each school. In addition, interviews were conducted with 20 teachers from the same schools included in the study.

The statistical findings revealed that the curriculum content significantly considers individual differences and greatly helps students in comprehension (an average score of 3.76 out of 5, equivalent to 75.2%). It also provides sufficient opportunities for language practice and supports good moral values (average score of 3.75 = 75%). Meanwhile, the other questionnaire content elements ranged between 3.63 and 3.74 (72.6% – 74.8%). The overall average for all curriculum elements was 3.71 out of 5 (74.2%). This indicates that most questionnaire elements received a high rating based on respondents’ opinions, though they did not reach the level of excellence.

Furthermore, the interviews indicated the importance of updating the curriculum to include modern teaching methods and interactive materials. They also emphasized the need for continuous teacher training, while most participants pointed out the insufficient integration of cultural and religious aspects in the current content.

The study recommends updating the curriculum, providing ongoing training and support for teachers, and incorporating cultural and religious dimensions into the teaching process to enhance the effectiveness of Arabic language learning in private Islamic schools in Southern Thailand.

The Path of Identity: Cultural Identity of the Malay Muslim Community in Ban Khuan Subdistrict, Satun Province

KAMARUDDIN ISAYAH — 2025-12-30

This research article forms part of a qualitative study that aims to examine local cultural identity through social processes within the Malay Muslim community of Ban Khuan Subdistrict, Satun Province, Thailand. The study involved a sample of 40 participants and employed field-based methods, including in-depth interviews and participant observation, to explore everyday practices that indicate the maintenance of linguistic and cultural identity across five key dimensions: community history; religion and belief systems; traditions and rituals; language; and foodways. The findings indicate that, in general, members of the Malay Muslim community in Ban Khuan subdistrict continue to live according to traditional local customs and cultural practices. In terms of language use, the Satun Malay dialect is used more frequently than the Thai language within the community. Those aged over 40 tend to use the Satun Malay dialect more consistently and demonstrate greater awareness of the importance of preserving local linguistic identity. In contrast, individuals under 30 commonly use a mixture of the Satun Malay dialect and Thai, with Thai being used more frequently than the local Malay dialect. The study further reveals that activities aimed specifically at preserving linguistic identity remain relatively limited and lack clear planning. Conversely, Malay cultural and traditional activities continue to be widely practiced, within which the use of the Satun Malay dialect is embedded. Although the use of the Satun Malay dialect tends to decline among younger speakers, overall, most community members still prefer to use the Satun Malay dialect rather than Thai and remain committed to maintaining their linguistic identity. This persistence can be attributed to increasing community cohesion and the systematic organization of cultural activities, which reflect a collective intention to sustain the linguistic and cultural identity of the ethnic group over time.

The Management Model of Waqf (Public Benefit Assets) through Real Estate Investment Trusts by the Islamic Development Bank Group in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: Opportunities and Challenges for Establishing a Waqf Fund Management Organization in Thailand

Jabir Sosewee — 2025-12-30

This research aims to (1) study the management model of Waqf assets implemented by the Islamic Development Bank Group in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; (2) analyze the Waqf management model currently utilized in Thailand; and (3) develop guidelines for establishing a Waqf fund in Thailand by adapting the model from Saudi Arabia. The study employed a research and development (R&D) methodology combined with qualitative data collection, including document analysis and in-depth interviews with 25 key informants. Data collection was conducted through relevant document reviews to provide foundational knowledge, along with structured questionnaires used during the interviews, and participant observation to support data triangulation. The data were then analyzed, synthesized, and organized systematically to develop a suitable model for establishing a Waqf fund management organization in Thailand. The research process was divided into four phases (1) studying Waqf asset management; (2) analyzing Waqf management models; (3) evaluating the developed model; and (4) assessing feasibility and providing further recommendations.

The findings revealed that (1) the Islamic Development Bank Group in Saudi Arabia has established a systematic and efficient Waqf management model through Shariah-compliant real estate investment mechanisms; (2) Thailand currently lacks a strategic Waqf management model, particularly in financial and investment aspects, resulting in limited development of existing Waqf assets; and (3) the Saudi model can be adapted for implementation in Thailand if supported by the government and religious institutions. The proposed model consists of key stakeholders including donors (Waqif), Waqf management organizations, a Shariah Board, private investors, public-benefit real estate projects, and an income distribution mechanism. However, certain aspects require modification to align with Thailand’s legal framework and cultural investment practices. The study recommends initiating pilot projects in strong Muslim communities, with the organizational structure preferably established as a foundation or a public-private partnership under the supervision of the Central Islamic Council of Thailand. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of fostering cooperation with Islamic financial institutions and adopting technology to enhance efficiency and transparency in future Waqf management.
