An Overview of The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)’s Educational Approach for the Training of Youth, as Demonstrated by his Practical Examples in the Seerah

Abstract

Youth is the backbone of any society. They play a pivotal role in the progress of nations, communities, and countries. Societies, nations, and communities with enlightened and well-educated youth progress rapidly. Youth is a force capable of transforming circumstances, nurturing societies, and contributing significantly to societal welfare.  Given their importance, their upbringing and guidance are equally crucial. The Quran, in multiple verses, highlights the accomplishments of youth and the significance of their youthfulness. It discusses the role of youth in societies. Allah's mention of youth in the Quran attests to their importance. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) paid special attention to the youth, taking significant steps for their upbringing. He educated and guided the youth of his time in every aspect of life. Not only did he educate and guide them, but he also entrusted them with important societal responsibilities. By training them, he appointed them to key positions in the Islamic society of his time. He understood their problems and needs, recognized their potential, honed their abilities, and utilized their skills effectively for societal progress. Instead of discouraging them, he consistently offered encouragement. At the same time, he did not leave the youth unchecked but nurtured them with love and care, moulding them into individuals who would become key players in societal progress. When entrusted with important societal tasks, they performed their duties exceptionally well. This research based on authentic hadiths sheds light on the Prophet's approach to youth upbringing. It aims to guide today's mentors, teachers, and motivational speakers to adopt this approach in nurturing youth and transforming this vital segment of society into a driving force for progress. In today's world, where youth face numerous challenges and uncertainties, the Prophet's approach is more relevant than ever. This research provides guidance to mentors on understanding and implementing the Prophet's educational approach for youth, enabling them to become valuable assets to society and contribute significantly to its welfare and progress.
