Summary of Sunni concepts
Education by punishment
Punishment is neither reprehensible nor forbidden in itself
It is not harmful to the entity of the individual or the child
As some doctrines of education claim in contemporary pre-Islamic times
The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, ordered the child to be disciplined for abandoning prayer
And he said
Encourage your children to pray for seven years
And beat them for ten
But what we need to decide and emphasize is the following
Firstly
The punishment should not be both physical and moral
The first thing the educator resorts to
Rather, it should start with reward
But he finds it useful
Go to punishment
It begins with the moral before the sensory
Secondly
Individual differences between one child and another are taken into account
The type of punishment and the necessary dose of it are decided wisely
There is a child who sees turning away from it as a deterrent punishment that affects his conscience
He overcomes that punishment and goes to another
In fact, the symptoms did not last long if a little of it was enough
Another child does not care except through sensory punishment
This person uses what is beneficial to him
Third
The educator should take into account that the punishment is also appropriate to the crime in terms of quantity
He does not have a fixed dose of punishment that he uses for every case equally
This would make a child mistaken for committing a major violation
As long as her punishment is the same as the punishment for the minor
Fourth
Likewise, the first is the threat of punishment rather than the actual imposition of it
Because that preserves her constant fear in the child’s soul
In addition to its high rhythm
Which may cause the child to become accustomed to it and not be afraid of it
