Education and Methods of Teaching in Islam in the Era of Az-Zarnooji

Abstract

Education has always been a major concern of the Muslim peoples. It was launched by the Prophet Muhammad who was not only the preacher of a new religion and the head of the new community, but also an effective teacher and an enthusiastic promoter of learning. Islam is a knowledge-based religion, a religion of the Book. Since Muslim civilization has religion as a unifying factor, it is naturally based on the Qur'an and the tradition (Hadith). As soon as the mosque became the place of worship, it also became the first school in Islam and the main place for spreading Islamic education. Education as a profession was approached by the Arabs seriously and with great care. They tried to understand the nature and the capabilities of their pupils and examined the teachers' responsibility for making learning happen
