Education is the most fundamental quality that separates man from other species. Today in the modern world, everyone proposes their idea of how to teach and what the classroom setting should be like. Teachers and principals have their idea of teaching, psychologists recommend their own ways, and scientists deduce their own ideas through their research. Some believe it’s important to use high-tech gadgets while others adopt a more traditional approach. Educational meetings and seminars are held to talk about how teachers can improve teaching and how students can learn more. Islam is a religion which values education so much that it is amongst the top most priorities required by its adherents. Islam from its very beginning cherished education and continues to do so. Islam is today the same as it was 1400 years ago; it is the Muslims today who give it a bad name. An Islamic classroom revolves around three basic principles: the rights of the teacher upon the student, the rights of the student upon the teacher, and the etiquette and humility required to learn.
