Summary of Sunni concepts
Education is continuous and never ending
Of the nature of the human soul
Fluctuation between obedience and disobedience
Guidance and seduction
So it needs constant follow-up
It is not enough to put it in a statement of guidance and obedience once
Thinking that it would be fixed forever after that
Rather, it always exceeds the boundaries of the set template
One hill and another
Every time you need to be directed to reset it
Thus, the difficulty and seriousness of the education process become clear
Its constant necessity
Either this persistent effort
Or loss
The lapses of the educated person between neglect and neglect
Sometimes issued by Al-Mutaribi
Some lapses that the educator hates
But he may ignore it
Realizing that the alert continues for every lapse
A counter reaction may occur from the recipient's alienation and distraction
There is nothing wrong with ignoring this
Provided that it is about lapses
Even obvious bad deeds
The intention should be to balance priorities and postpone until the pupil matures
And his understanding of the flaw in the lapse
This neglect should in no way lead to negligence or negligence
Neglecting the warning is as harmful as insisting on it
And the wisdom of the educator
Which tells him when it is better to ignore and when to direct
Using both leniency and decisiveness in education
Being flexible is essential
Decisiveness in its place is also necessary to the same extent and level
What is forbidden is from rudeness and harshness of heart, which does not bring good
God Almighty said
Because of the mercy of God, He softened for them
And if you were generous and hard-hearted, those around you would not be weak
Decisiveness does not mean harshness in any way
Rather, it is the educator’s persistence in making the right decision
And insistence on its implementation
Taking into account the good manner
It contains kindness and love
What the educator needs
It is insight into areas of softness and areas of decisiveness
On a permanent foundation of love
Education to control desires
Controlling desires is an ability that a person trains on
He usually gets used to it
And the more he trained on it when he was young
He was more capable of it and more capable of it
He finds it present when he needs it
A Muslim cannot call to God Almighty
Or jihad for its sake
Without controlling his lusts and desires
Even if it is within the scope of permissibility
In which there is no sin in itself
God Almighty said
Say if your fathers and your sons
And your brothers, your husbands, and your clan
And the money you made
And a trade that you fear will stagnate
And dwellings that please you are dearer to you
From God and His Messenger and jihad in His cause
So they waited until God brought His command
And God does not guide the rebellious people
Everything mentioned in the verse
It is essentially permissible
But it becomes forbidden and sinful
I return from the duty of preaching and jihad for the sake of God
Controlling desires does not mean depriving them
If it is permissible
Rather, it means training oneself to dispense with it
When needed
And on this
The educator can provide training to the trainees
Courses in which some desires are prohibited from them
The soul is permissible for a limited period
To accustom them to dispensing with it when needed
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
He ordered the child to be disciplined for not praying
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
If that does not work,
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 as a deterrent punishment
His conscience is affected by her
He did not exceed that punishment and went to another
Rather, the period of symptoms did not last long
If a little is 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 commit a major violation
As long as her punishment is equivalent to a small punishment
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
Education through guidance and indoctrination
Firstly
The necessity of guidance and indoctrination
Role models alone are not enough in the education process
It does not fulfill everything required
The Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, is the greatest role model for humanity
He was not satisfied with his behavior in raising his friends
Rather, he was always guiding and instructing them
Until a huge wealth of hadiths were created
Which has become one of the main sources of legislation
The Holy Qur’an is all guidance and indoctrination
In education, there must be a combination of role modeling and indoctrination
Secondly
A source of guidance and indoctrination
It is clear from the previous point
That is a source of guidance and indoctrination
It should be the Qur’an and the Sunnah
Therefore, we do not take guidance from our children
In values, perceptions, morals, and patterns of behavior
From the ignorance surrounding us throughout the earth
This does not mean that we should close our minds
About useful human experiences
Wisdom is the lost property of the believer
Wherever he finds it, he has more right to it
But what is meant is for us to be careful not to be tempted by ignorance
About what was revealed to us, or part of it
God Almighty said
And I will judge between them according to what God has revealed
Do not follow their desires
And beware of them lest they tempt you from some of what God has revealed to you
So what does that mean?
That we derive the principles only from the Book of God
And the Sunnah of His Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace
As for applications
That is, the method of implementation and performance
There is nothing wrong with quoting any useful method or style
As long as it does not conflict with the derived assets
From the Qur’an and Sunnah
With our firm certainty
In terms of principles, pre-Islamic times only had two things
Either values and principles similar to those in Islam
Let us then take it from its original divine source
Or values that contradict Islam
Under no circumstances can good be achieved
Even if at first glance it appears shiny and shiny
Directing energies and emotions
Islam directs human energies and emotions
And his many emotions are in the right direction
He places it in the required field for it to bear fruit
For example, if the energy of hatred accumulates in a person
It is an innate energy
Islam directs her to hate Satan and his helpers
And no, all the evil they create
Likewise, Islam empties the energy of love into the love of God
And love of believers, goodness and lawful things
The same applies to all other energies
Such as jihad, cultivation, production, and reconstruction
Islam devotes all of this to doing good and destroying falsehood
This protects the soul from being distorted by its energies and afflicted with turmoil and evil
Knowledge devoid of education and self-purification
It becomes an excuse for its owner rather than being beneficial
Rather, it may lead its owner to spread corruption on earth
Instead of fixing it
Therefore, students in all stages of education should be linked to high and noble goals
He avoids low goals and trivial matters
Education curricula should be prepared according to this vision
Especially in the field of so-called theoretical sciences
Such as history, language, literature and education
In history, for example, students study the biography of the heroes of the Nation of Islam
Role models are highlighted in their biography
He mentions evil people and explains the sources of their evil and deviations
Its bad effects on the nation are based on giving insight into the path of criminals
Collective education
Although individual education has its importance and role in preparing distinguished individuals
However, it is never enough alone
Rather, there must be collective education or the education of the individual within a group
Because the human soul, as we have shown, is in the nature of the educated
It has two original tendencies
Individualism and collectivism
He is an individual in a group
Accordingly, the individual will not have a normal upbringing
Unless we take into account the aspects of it that do not mature or work
Except within a group in which there are other individuals
The school and its student activities are a type of collective education
As well as memorization circles in mosques
The accompanying educational trips and camps are a type of group education
The recipient trains in correct coexistence with others
And how to deal positively with them
And forming common goals
And achieving teamwork
Which yields great results in areas that cannot be achieved through individual work
The environment affecting education
The child or educator is generally influenced by the environment around him
The home, the street, the school, and the community affect it
If we want the educational process to be successful and fruitful
We must have a Muslim home
And the Muslim street
And the Muslim school
And the Muslim community
And Islamic media
