ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Prophetic Pedagogy explores the teaching styles of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as found in the Qur'an and Sunnah, and complements them with contemporary research on teaching and learning for an Islamic school context.
Prophetic Pedagogy project seeks to provide Islamic school educators with tools, practices, and concepts to help shape education within Islamic schools today. We want educators to be fully equipped to teach the Message of Allah in a global context that doesn’t support faith-based identities, just as the Prophet experienced. We want educators to lead the youth in understanding how to resist oppression and disrupt injustices around them, just as the Prophet demonstrated. And we want educators to be fully engaged in the realities of today’s context, just as the Prophet was fully engaged in his contextual reality. Our educators need to be able to teach students through technology, who struggle with their identity, and who face challenges with social norms and practices. We feel that with a systematic examination of the Prophet’s pedagogy, we will be able to advance teaching practices that can transform today’s Islamic schools to be the schools that Muslims need in today’s day and age.
