More than 2 billion followers spread out in almost all the countries of the world…. 1 book, the Qur’an and the Teacher….Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In a short span of 23 years, he created a revolution, guided humanity from darkness to light, transformed the almost barabaric Arabs into leaders and rulers of a major part of the world. He is rightly known as ‘Humanity’s Teacher.’
Michael H. Hart, author of the best selling book- ‘The 100: A ranking of the most influential Persons in History’ places Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at the top of his list. He says, “ My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.”
Can present day Teachers learn from his teaching methodology? Can his teaching techniques benefit the teachers? If you analyse, it would be visibly clear that most of the modern day teaching techniques are derived from his teaching methodology. When a teacher tries to adopt these techniques, it will soon reflect on the students as they begin to understand and learn, and this in turn will reflect positively on the school, because this will transform the students lives. This learning process will bring a a lot of benefit to the entire system that is striving to educate the future generation.
So, how did the Prophet (pbuh) teach? His teaching methodology is a store house of techniques that are both effective and impactful. Simple, effective, easy to implement and innovative techniques through which every teacher will benefit. And, by the way, even Parents will benefit from these techniques, because they are the first teachers of the child.
Lets embark together on a journey to learn some of the techniques of ‘Humanity’s Teacher’ as mentioned in the Qur’an and Sunnah. One of the best book that can be referred on this topic is ‘Ar Rasool Al Muallim (The Prophet, The Teacher) by Abu Fattah Abu Ghuddah (rahimahullah). Some contemporaray authors have also compiled these techniques and written in a more comprehensive and simple way.
Some of the techniques we will discuss are ,
Tech 1- Do not bore the listener,
Tech 2- Speak at the intellectual level of the listener,
Tech 3- Use questions and debate,
Tech4- Use analogies (examples),
Tech 5- Use diagrams and drawings,
