Abstract

The study examines the educational principles of early Islam, emphasizing the organization and growth of Islamic education during the era of the Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SAWS). The primary aim of this research is to overcome a noticeable gap in comprehending the foundational tactics and aims that characterized the early Islamic education system. The paper addresses the insufficient scholarly synthesis about the evolution of educational approaches in Mecca and Madina and their contribution to the swift and effective dissemination of Islamic teachings. The primary aims are to: evaluate the educational system in early Islam; investigate the proliferation of education in Mecca and Medina; and scrutinize the pedagogical techniques utilized by the Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). This research employs a qualitative, historical review methodology, referencing classical Islamic sources, early biographical texts, and contemporary scholarly analysis to reconstruct the educational milieu and pedagogical methods of the Prophet’s Day. The research indicates that early Islamic education was readily available, community-oriented, and marked by adaptability, empathy, and pragmatic involvement. In Mecca, education predominantly consisted of individual instruction and small group lessons; however, in Madina, the founding of the Suffah at the Prophet's Mosque signified the inception of Islam's inaugural structured educational institution. The findings indicate that the Prophet's methodologies-focusing on discourse, memory, motivation, incremental learning, and practical illustration-established the groundwork for generations of Islamic knowledge. His techniques promoted inclusion, ethical advancement, and a desire for knowledge among adherents, resulting in swift societal transformation and the extensive dissemination of education. The study indicates that re-examining and modifying these foundational pedagogical paradigms can enhance modern Islamic education and intercultural pedagogy by emphasizing inclusive, ethical, and culturally aware training. The findings prompt additional multidisciplinary contemplation on the continued relevance of the core concepts of early Islamic education in contemporary educational discourse.
