Prophetic education

Dr. Muhammad Al-Duwishaq Knowledge Education is the means that produces a positive active human being, or a dependent person lacking self-confidence. It is what builds willpower and determination, or laziness and reliance. Education is also what creates leadership: social, scientific, political, economic, etc. The first chapter was titled: An introduction to the Prophetic guidance, and the second: Features of Prophetic education. The author discussed the features of Prophetic education, integrated education, purification and selection, patience and perseverance, gradualness, realism, positive and leadership education, moderation. In the third chapter, he discussed the fields of Prophetic education, and in the fourth, he discussed the means and methods of Prophetic education. In the fifth, he talked about the Prophet's صلى الله عليه وسلم way of teaching, and about Prophetic communication. Then, in the sixth chapter, he discussed women's education, and in the last chapter, he talked about children's education. Despite the spread of higher education institutions and colleges of education in the Islamic world, and the tendency of many good people towards these studies, the attention to the Qur'an and Sunnah approach and to Prophetic guidance is less than it should be. Many Muslim sons and daughters know more about Western and Eastern psychological and educational theories, schools, and symbols than they do about the guidance and methodology of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and his approach! Although caring for the Prophetic guidance and educational methodology is important and necessary, the volume of serious and deep studies about it remains limited. Much of what has been written—despite its usefulness—lacks thorough investigation and comprehension, and is limited to specific, immediate, and close examples. The space of human ideas and visions is vast and rich, accommodating many efforts and propositions. But discussing the Prophetic methodology is different; it requires knowledge of the Sunnah and the contexts of the texts, along with jurisprudence and understanding. This book is a serious attempt to achieve that goal.
