Prophetic pedagogy: Methods and means of teaching and learning in the prophetic Sunnah
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to identify ways to strengthen the relationship between the learner and the teacher, thereby facilitating effective communication between them. It also seeks to outline the qualities that must be present in an exemplary teacher so that learners can develop their abilities and achieve their educational goals. Furthermore, it aims to benefit the learner by drawing from the teachings of the Qur'an, the Sunnah of the Prophet, and the guidance of the early generations on effective learning. The research explores successful approaches to dealing with learners that enhance the teacher’s ability to understand them, develop their capabilities, and direct them toward goodness, thereby modifying their behavior. Additionally, it identifies a broad range of methods that assist teachers in attracting students and encouraging them to learn. Moreover, the study highlights the methods of teaching and learning mentioned in the Qur'an and Sunnah. The research adopts an inductive approach in collecting scientific material and an analytical approach in deriving the Prophet’s teaching methods, the means and techniques he used, and the ways in which educational challenges can be addressed based on the Qur'an.
