The aspect
that separates man from other beings and makes him responsible is his ability
to be educated. Ability to know and to produce knowledge in human nature and
his superiority over other beings is mentioned in the Qur’an as follows:  “And He taught Adam the names of all things; then He placed them before
the angels, and said: "Tell me the names of these if ye are right."
They said: "Glory to Thee, of knowledge We have none, save what Thou Hast
taught us: In truth it is Thou Who art perfect in knowledge and wisdom."” (Baqara,
2/31-32)

Education is the most
auspicious goal for human being, which is the worthy of being tired and
suffering. Since the quality of learning exists with being, a duty of the prophets
is to deal with the education of people. The prophet is responsible for
delivering people the divine message of God, as in all matters, the prophet was
qualified as the most beautiful example in education and training. His words,
actions, statements, life, morality, relations with people and perspective,
each filled with an abundant set of values, provide a general framework of the
methods applicable in religious education and training. The methods used by the
prophet in education are very important in religious education. The methods
employed by Prophet Mohammed for the purpose of education can be listed as notifying,
narrating, representation, repetition, heralding-warning and recevating. In
short, Prophet Mohammed attached great importance to human education. On the
other hand, it can be noted that Prophet Mohammed applied the first examples of
many current principles and methods offered to us by educational sciences in
the modern era.
