The Approach to Implement the Model of Teaching and Learning
1.
Today
it is the prime need of Muslim ummah to revive the teaching and learning
pattern of prophetic era. For the basic Required education of general muslim
mass there is a need to mix and complement the formal system of Islamic teaching
in Madarsa/ Islamic Institution with this system. It is easy and wide ranging
methodology for Muslim Ummah at larger scale Without leaving any section of
Society. Under the supervision of formal Madarsas and educational Institution
there should be some mobile institution ,living guide and reformers, and
speaking manuscript. (Chalti phirti
darsgahein,jeeti jagti khanqahein, bolte chalet saheefe,).They will fill
their bucket of knowledge and will deliver to masses.
2.
The
migration and motivation, movement and striving for deen has to be revived. It
is the fundamental structure of spreading Islamic knowledge and service of prophet
era, That structure has to be replicated and revived.
3.
Effort
should be made that the teaching-learning and service of deen be made integral
part of a Muslim life.
A call and effort should be made that Muslims should
accomplish their worldly engagement under this primary work of Service of deen.
This is the real life underneath the
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالإِنسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ (الذاريات: 56
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالإِنسَ إِلاَّ لِيَعْبُدُونِ (الذاريات: 56
[51:56]
I did not create the Jinns and the human beings except for
the purpose that they should worship Me.
And with the enlightenment made by Quran Muslim has been assigned
this task
كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنْ الْمُنكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ (آل عمران: 110
كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَوْنَ عَنْ الْمُنكَرِ وَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ (آل عمران: 110
[3:110]
You are the best Ummah ever raised
for mankind. You bid the Fair and forbid the Unfair, and you believe in Allah.

The
Rest time and resources should be efficiently utilized for lawful earning
instead of wasting time in unnecessary Unislamic and unwanted activities. As
Allah says …………………………..Allah keep friend
the Momin who earn his livelihood.
Migration and Motivation will be three way Chain Process
5.
Muslims
should be encouraged for learning Practical deen and to Motivate others. For
this they should be encouraged to go out temporarily in the path of Allah by
leaving engagements for a short period. In this period they should be provided
with a practical religious environment of Sunnah and Shariah. This environment
will make them familiar with a religious life to be adopted. They will go temporarily
to places with small group of fellow Muslims of different Knowledge level. Few
among them will be Scholar and rest will learn Islamic knowledge and Islamic
nurturing through mutual dependence.
6.
(It is for the education of general
muslim mass. For Those Muslims who cannot join Formal
Madarsa/Islamic Institutes or cannot spare themselves completely for a formal
Islamic learning. It is not only for well known
illiterates (Labourers,
Rickshaw Pullers etc) but also for those
Muslims who otherwise worldly education are from elite class but with respect
to knowledge and practice of deen are not a good position. (Professionals,
Doctors engineers all others who are educated but not having Islamic education etc) A viable model for 95 %
Muslims).
7.
This
basic structure of Islamic nurturing and Learning this environment will be
built by accompanying fellows who have gone together. This environment will be
further strengthened by their effort to motivate other people of the locality
where they have gone and stationed. This finally will lead to a chained
Process.
a. Between each member of the group
through a bidirectional process. (In group some will be more knowledgeable and
some less they will learn knowledge and qualities from each other Wa Tawanu Alal birre wattaqwa.
b.
It
will also motivate the people of the area where they have gone to learn deen
and for service of deen.
c.
By
this way it will become a chain and will bring revolution in Whole ummat.
On the above
mentioned strong principles each section of the Muslim is called and encouraged
to temporary leave their busy engagements and to utilize time for teaching and
learning of himself and for other brothers in a religious environment.
In one of his
letters Maulana Ilyas Rahimullah writes.
"We have stopped setting out in batches in the path of Allah for the
sake of deen although it was a fundamental method. The Prophet himself used to
go from place to place and whoever took pledge of Islam, also, began to do the
same, the zeal of Sahaba was awe-inspiring with full dedication. In Mecca, Islam was confined to the
individual plane (individual life), everyone who became a Muslim strove individually
to preach the Faith to others. In
Medina, there was a more Social and collective life. On migrating to
Madeena, the Prophet started sending out batches of Muslims in all directions,
and as the Muslims grew in number, they acquired a dynamic character. To be in
a state of movement and active endeavor in the path of Faith (deen) was the
thing that mattered. When it ceased, the Caliphate too, came to an end."
