Keywords:
Islamic Studies, Core Subjects, Major Subjects, Educational ManagementAbstract
This scholarly paper aims to explore the urgent need for a comprehensive and culturally sensitive Islamic Studies curriculum at the university level in Thailand. The curriculum should be tailored to suit the scholarly and intellectual needs of students who seek to develop a deep understanding of Islam. This study presents a theoretical framework that suggests the integration of core and major course subjects into the curriculum, to augment the comprehension of and admiration for Islamic thought and culture within the unique setting of Thailand. The framework has been developed based on prior research and scholarly discourse within the respective discipline. The objective of this strategy is to cater to the specific requirements of the Thai Muslim community by the incorporation of traditional Islamic studies within the unique cultural and historical context of Thailand.
