3. INTRODUCTION
From the very earliest days of Islam, the issue of education has been
at the forefront at the minds of the Muslims. The very first word of
the Quran that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was, in
fact, “Read”. Prophet Muhammad ﷺonce stated that “Seeking
knowledge is mandatory for all Muslims.” With such a direct
command to go out and seek knowledge, Muslims have placed huge
emphasis on the educational system in order to fulfil this obligation
placed on them by the Prophet .ﷺ

5. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was a promoter of education. His Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ skill and success as an educator, his leadership of
mankind, his spiritually endowed and inspired personality were
responsible for his achievements. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ started
the practice of sending missionary teachers to different areas so that
they could teach isolated and moving tribal's. Whenever a new area
was conquered the Prophet used to teachers to teach the people.
6. He appointed Hazrat Saad Bin Aas RA to teach reading and
writing to the people. Hazrat Abada bin Samet was appointed
in Suffa, the first muslim boarding school, to teach the Quran
and writing. Suffa is not the only institution in Medina. There
were about ten mosques also which function as educational
institutions for the neighborhood.

HAZRAT MUHAMMAD ﷺ IN MADINA LIFE
FROM (622 TO 632)
8. Muslim education of the first few decades consisted mainly of
religious doctrine where mosques were the center of religious
and educational activities. Mosques were the centers of
religious education during the Prophet’s life time and during
the caliphates of his four companions. A large number of
mosques were built and officials were appointed to impart
education of religious nature during the caliphate of four
companions. People started using mosques as a center of
education for other subjects as well during the subsequent
Muslim dynasties.

10. The period of the first four Caliphs of Islam is known as the
period of the Caliphate. It had the Same educational system
which was in the time of the Prophet ﷺ . Since the most
important task in the beginning was to propagate and
establish Islam, so the whole emphasis was on fundamental
teachings of Islam. The main purpose of education in the
period was to familiarize people with their basic objectives,
to take into account the necessities of time and
circumstances and to provide spiritual, and materialistic
development of the people on better lines.
11. In this period Islam had spread outside Arabia. Egypt,
Palestine, Iraq, Iran and Syria were conquered In this
period. It required a system of education so the
companions of the Prophet ﷺ reached far and distant
places for spreading muslim Education. They established
educational circle s in those places. It was done in Basra
by Amran bin Hussain RA, in Palestine by Moaaz bin
Jabal RA, in Medina by Abdullah bin Masood RA, in
Damascus by Abu Durda RA, in Syria by Abdur Rahman
bin Qasim RA, in Egypt by Jaban bin Jabla RA.
12. The establishment of first purposely built school (Al-
Nizamiyah), during Abbasids’ period, the mosques were the
major place of education. Jamia Al-Amr, Jamia Dimashq, Jamia
Al-Mansoor were the prestigious institutions where prominent
scholars used to teach a number of educational circles of
different subjects.
14. The process of extension of education towards the other subjects
started with the rise of Umayyad dynasty. The Umayyad set out
to create a new culture by erecting great palaces, mosques,
hospitals and other public buildings and by appointing non-
Muslims at various administrative positions. The first attribute of
Umayyad dynasty was that they modernized their Government
and the second was that they encouraged learning as signs of
luxury and for amusement. Before this, teachers were not
appointed or paid by the Government; they used to work at their
own.
15. Mosques gradually became the core centers of educational
activities. Literary studies were also perused in mosques even
poetry was studied there. It is reported that forty educational
circles (Zawiyahs) were present in the mosque Jamia Al-Amr.
This type of home education was only for the children of
dignitaries. The curriculum of palace education was usually
drawn up by the fathers to suit their children. Many private
houses were also used as schools in Muslim Territories where
eminent scholars used to sit to lecture the seekers of knowledge.
These houses were open to all seekers of knowledge.
16. The intellectual output of the Umayyad period consisted largely
of poetry and religious studies. The development of a pure
Arabic language during this period proved the greatest
achievement in perusing not only theological studies but also for
the natural sciences. The Arabic language is particularly suitable
for expression of scientific concepts and for developing them,
because the language flows without connectives and is made up
of 3,726 basic words, each containing three consonants
17. Umayyad’s were very interested in the education of their
princes.They sent them to Syrian desert to learn pure language
from the native Bedouins. People from other well-off families
also started sending their children for the same purpose.Thus
Al Badiya (The Syrian Desert) started serving as a language
school.
18. To fulfill the need of having book producing service, a number of
copyists in almost every considerable library were appointed.
These copyists performed the work of the printing press. In Bait
al-Hikmah a number of copyists were employed for this
purpose.This resulted in the appearance of bookshops in the
markets. The booksellers were not only traders but usually men
of letters and were providing an intellectual service as well. The
booksellers were the people who copied the best books and
placed them in the hands of the public at the average price.
Consequently the bookshops became the places of interest and
daily gathering for the students and learned class of that society
19. Discussion
The discussion here encompasses the role of society and
specifically the role of rulers in developing a viable system of
education during that period. As the whole doctrine of education
was religious in nature; there was a drive in the society to learn
and teach the principles of the new religion. Everyone was
committed to serve for the transmission of knowledge
voluntarily. Education was free and uncontrolled by the state.
The environment in the society was quite encouraging for the
promotion of knowledge.
20. Conclusion
The study suggests some fundamental remedial measures in the
theoretical bases for the system of education in Pakistan. The
first and foremost proposition is to have a belief in education’s
true worth for socio-economic and human-centered development.
The practical measures that are suggested includes: making
financially independent teaching and research Institutions
specially at higher education level, accumulating and involving
the best brains in the process of education by giving them
incentives, elevating the social and economic.
