Answer:
Teaching is one of the most
respectful and valuable professions in the world. In religion Islam, this
profession has more importance as our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) introduced
himself as a teacher.
Allah Almighty says in Holy Quran: “Like (a favor which you have already
received) in that We have sent among you a Messenger of your own, rehearsing to
you Our verses, and purifying you, and instructing you in scripture and wisdom,
and in new knowledge”(Quran, 2:
151). According to this verse of
Holy Quran Holy Prophet (SAW) were sent to teach about the Holy Book Quran, the
wisdom and unknown things to the people of this world.
As we all know that the person who
teaches is a teacher, a man of obedience and respect. Teachers are some of the
most influential people in society and have great importance in modern society.
Teachers bear the responsibility of molding students’ personalities and
educating them.
Teachers are considered the most
honored person in every religion. Due to the important role of teachers, Islam
has granted high status and rights to teachers. Islam has paid great attention
to teachers for their being the first brick in the structure of social development
and perfection and the cause of guiding and developing behaviors and
mentalities of individuals and communities. We can understand the highest rank
of teachers from the Quote of Hazrat Ali (RA) in which He (RA) stated that: “If a person teaches me one single word, he
has made me his servant for a lifetime. “
The teacher is considered the
profound father in religion Islam. All Prophets were the teacher that sent
before Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and obviously, Holy Prophet (PBUH) was also the
great teacher for all mankind.
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) teaches us how
to worship Allah, how to implement teachings of the Quran in our daily lives
and many other things. Islam lays great emphasis on knowledge.
At numerous times and instances,
Allah Almighty ordered the Muslims to acquire knowledge and learn. Islam lays
so much stress on seeking knowledge and also on giving the respect to the ones
who imparted knowledge. That’s why teachers have the highest status in
Islam.
In Holy Quran Almighty Allah says:
“Allah elevates to high positions
those from amongst you who are faithful and those who have acquired knowledge”.
(Quran, 58:11)
