Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)as an Educationist

It’s is an admitted fact that that the first revelation of Allah Almighty Received in cave of Hira by the Holt Prophet Muhammad (peace Be Upon Him) was
“Read in the name of thy Lord, who created man from a clot of blood. Read! Thy Lord is most bounteous who taught by pen”
This show that Allah Almighty taught Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) the two step for education .the first step is reading and the second is writing .But what to read is the question . The Holy (Prophet Peace Be upon Him) said,
“Learn the Holy Quran and teach it to the people.”
The Holy Prophet (Peace Be upon Him) Stressed upon the right kind of education.
He (Peace Be upon Him) made education a religious obligation. It was made compulsory for every man and woman to learn from cradle to grave. He imposed a condition for the prisoners of the battle of Badr to teach the Muslim.
He (Peace Be upon Him) taught how to teach effectively to attract the attraction of the listeners; he (Peace Be upon Him) himself addressed the people as.
”O,ye People”and asked a question which made the people attractive. Similarly on another occasion he invited the followers and asked a question,
“Oh, Ansar, didn’t I find you away from the right path and then Allah blessed you through me?”
They replied,
“Verily. The peophet of Allah is the custodian of truth. Then he (Peace Be upon Him) proceeded on and concluded with a question .won’t you prefer that while the others”
Share should be camels and goats, you should be the prophet of Allah? How beautifully he urged them to follow him.
Another technique that he (Peace Be upon Him) employed was the use if gesture explaining how Allah held heaven and earth in his grip. The Holy Prophet (Peace Be upon Him) closed his first and then opened it while his whole body swayed from one side to the other and the pulpit shook under him. In fact .it was when the Holy prophet (Peace Be upon Him) wanted to demonstrate the dreadful sight of the doomsday.

In his address of Hajja-tul-wida the followers noticed how by degrees his speech gradually rose to climax the pauses, rise and fall of his forceful voice, made his speech effective. He demonstrated the concept of closeness by lifting his middle finger and showing its closeness to the index finger.
He (Peace Be upon Him) remained relevant and brief in his to save the listeners from any inconvenience. He (Peace Be upon Him) had literary taste and had perfect command on the language. His talk with people was persuasive. He was a great educationist and the followers realized.
