The Beginning and Evolution of Youth Education and Training in Different Periods of Islamic History

Abstract

The education and training of youth is a bright chapter in various periods of Islamic history. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the only person in human history to start a unique education and training movement, declaring education and training as a fundamental right of man and a fundamental duty of Muslims. The Muslim Ummah organized the policy of popularizing education and training that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) adopted as an institution, while madrassas are its institutional form. Educational centers for the education and training of youth are related to the Prophet's Page, where the teacher of humanity, the benefactor of the universe, Muhammad the Arab, (peace be upon him), carved diamonds through education and training, and presented to the world the champions of peace and love and the champions of unity. Hazrat Ali, who was given the title of Bab al-Ilm by the tongue of the Prophet, conceived the idea of ​​establishing institutions for the education and training of the youth. The young Abu Muslim Khorasani was raised by Isa ibn Ma’qal and when he grew up, he went to a madrasa for his education and training. Similarly, large mosques, madrasas and universities were used for the pursuit of higher education and training. Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Abbas (RA) had a very wide circle of students in Mecca and he also taught Quran, Hadith, Jurisprudence, Farid and Arabic language. The extent to which sciences and arts were promoted during the Abbasid era for the education and training of the youth is recorded in the pages of history.
