Abstract

Since Pattani region entered into a nation state of Thailand there have been various policies of assimilation toward the people of Southern Thailand. Until the present time, this policy has caused a conflict to both sides. The main problem is not about religious issues, but the ethnicity to maintain Malay-Muslim identity from Thai-Buddhist threats. Efforts to understand each other's identity, both Malay-Islamic and Thai-Buddhist can be continuously explored, such as: Islamic values as ummatan wasathan and Buddha’s Majjhima-patipada oriented to the idea of "middle way". Efforts to understand each other can be done through education starting from Early Childhood Education to Higher Education. Efforts to understand both identities can also be done by a figure, such as Haji Sulong. Haji Sulong's struggle was initially prioritized the renewal of the Islamic Education System in Pattani, both the management and the curriculum. But along with the royal policy that continues to pressure the people of Southern Thailand, Haji Sulong also plunged into the political world. Haji Sulong heroic values can be a transformative spirit for the people of South Thailand, such as: (1) Innovative value, (2) Caring values, (3) Values of love/empathy, (4) Prudence, (5) The value of self-control, (6) The value of justice, (7) The value of courage, and etc. Keywords: Contextualization, Ummatan Wasathan, Haji Sulong, Renewal, Education Abstrak Sejak wilayah Pattani Raya masuk menjadi negara bangsa Thailand telah berlaku berbagai kebijakan asimilasi terhadap rakyat Thailand Selatan. Kebijakan ini menimbulkan konflik yang merugikan kedua belah pihak hingga sekarang. Persoalan pokoknya bukan masalah keagamaan, tetapi masalah etnisitas yaitu mempertahankan identitas Melayu-Muslim dari ancaman Thai-Buddha. Upaya saling memahami identitas masing-masing fihak, baik Melayu-Islam maupun Thai-Buddha dapat terus digali, seperti: nilai-nilai Islam sebagai ummatan wasathan dan Buddha Majjhima-patipada yang berorientasi pada gagasan “jalan tengah”. Upaya saling memahami tersebut dapat dilakukan melalui jalur pendidikan mulai Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini sampai Perguruan Tinggi. Upaya saling memahami dua identitas tersebut juga dapat dilakukan oleh seorang tokoh, seperti Haji Sulong. Perjuangan Haji Sulong awalnya lebih mengutamakan pembaharuan Sistem Pendidikan Islam di Pattani, baik managemen maupun kurikulumnya. Namun seiring dengan kebijakan kerajaan yang terus menekan rakyat Thailand Selatan, Haji Sulong juga terjun ke dunia politik. Nilai-nilai kepahlawanan Haji Sulong dapat menjadi spirit transformatif bagi rakyat Thailand Selatan, antara lain: (1) Nilai inovatif, (2) Nilai kepedulian, (3) Nilai kasih saying/empati, (4) Nilai kehati-hatian/ tidak gegabah, (5) Nilai pengendalian diri, (6) Nilai keadilan, (7) Nilai keberanian, dan sebagainya. Kata Kunci: Kontekstualisasi, Ummatan Wasathan, Haji Sulong, Pembaharuan Pendidikan
