Teacher: A spiritual guide
Seerat Haneef
Teaching is the one profession that proves to be the origin of all other professions. The teaching profession is not an easy one it needs continuous hard work, up to date knowledge, dedication, passion, morality, humanity, ethics, consciousness, spirituality, and a sober human behaviour,
A word teacher in itself meaning a lot, usually a word teacher means a person who teaches especially in school but now teachers teach in this pandemic through different means of communication.
A teaching profession is a respected profession and we must respect our teacher’s. Teacher’s play a vital role in our lives after our parent’s it’s our teacher’s who shape our lives by educating us and inculcating good moral values in us.
Teachers are agents of change. They counsel their student’s and help them to choose their subject that best suits their interest .Teacher’s can make a good difference among successful student’s and unsuccessful one.
A good teacher can convert a dull student into a brilliant one. There are many relationships in the world that are connected with man, some of which are blood ties and some are spiritual relationship. One of these relationships is the student-teacher’s relationship .The influence of a good teacher can never be erased.
Students must understand that if their teachers punish them it’s for their own personal growth not the teacher’s interest. A teacher is a nation builder he or she builds the character of people .Teacher brings people from darkness to light. Children are like clay- He or she moulds them in a good shape.
Our religion Islam also sees the student-teacher relationship as equal to that of the parents. It is the teacher who teaches us the meaning of real life after parents, teaches us to live our life, and teaches us to differentiate between right and wrong.
Our beloved Prophet (PBUH) said that I was sent as a teacher. It shows how high the status of teacher is. Teachers are like parents and must be given the same respect as we give to our parents!
“Without Teacher life would have no Class, the best teachers educate with their hearts not just their minds.”
