Education is one of the most universally discussed topics – the process of exchanging knowledge and values from one generation to the next. For Muslims, wherever they may live in the world, there is an added complexity to the education dilemma because of the general diminishing of respect for the sacred and the separation of values from facts. This book shows the teachings and methods derived from the statements and model of the Prophet Muhammad, God’s peace be upon him. It is a duty and a responsibility of Muslim educators to study these essential principles and explore how they may be translated into methodologies that apply in today’s world.
