This book gives a complete description of educational excellence in the Prophetic Sunnah, surveying the authentic and good hadith on this important subject with a descriptive, analytical and deductive method.
It covers the moral excellence of the educator in following the character the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded: forbearance, pardon and tolerance, humility, mercy and gentleness, truthfulness, trustworthiness, keeping promises and covenants, patience, justice, firmness and clarity. It also covers the methods of upbringing he taught: positive ones — encouragement, material and moral reward, arousing interest, praise, calm dialogue and clear advice, persuasion, training and good admonition — and corrective ones — warning of the punishment of the Hereafter, withholding and turning away, reproach, distancing, and indirect correction of the one who errs.
The book offers the educator rich knowledge of its subject in simple language, combining thoroughness with brevity — a hallmark of the author's writing.
