CONVERGENCE
Parallels Within the Educational Methodology
of Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad
|
While new developments in education theory are continually being introduced, we should recognize that we already have an incredibly successful template for lasting educational impact - the legacy of three Abrahamic prophets: Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon them, and the religious texts associated with them. These inspired educators sought to uplift their people's minds and moral qualities through numerous educational methods that remain beneficial today.
This booklet is neither a comprehensive study of the prophets' lives nor an in-depth study of edification theory; rather, it is an analysis of how the prophets approached their identity as teachers and delivered their teachings. As this booklet does not assume that the reader is explicitly familiar with Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, we have limited our sources to each faith's standard texts.
In addition to the principal focus of studying the edification process that the prophets utilized, this booklet highlights the commonality of belief and harmony within the three Abrahamic holy books, especially as it relates to holistic principles and moral values. This is compatible with the monotheistic core within the teachings of Prophets Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad and the fulfillment of the "common word" as a shared goal.
Dr. Aboul Makarem holds two postgraduate degrees and has been involved in numerous projects as a result of his love for knowledge, education, and interfaith pursuits. His current projects include authoring a publication to assist in the meaning-based recitation of Qur'an, developing a debt-free home finance system based on in-depth research of Islamic Law and the American economic system, and an English translation of the Quran.
Sabra Lutz was raised in the foothills of New Mexico and grew up in the Islamic community of Dar Al-Islam. Her early exposure to knowledge developed a lifelong passion for teaching others and hosting community education events. She has over two decades of experience in developing educational children's workshops, content writing, online publication, and digital design.
Layla Saad is a graduate from George Washington University, and an American-Muslim artist focused on the perception of identity and the influence of culture, religion, and society. Her background in psychology, fine arts, and teaching were key to the inspiration behind multiple award winning projects and publications.
