Ta’lim ( (generally it means, “to teach” or “the teaching”

understanding of this word requires us to know the root word
“‘ilm” which is different from “ma’lumat ”
Ta’allum ( ) “to learn or be taught knowledge”

TASAWWUR ISLAM

Tarbiyyah ( ) – although used by many Islamist to
refer to education (perhaps influenced by the Western
methodology), it’s use to refer to ‘education’ is not appropriate
due to its narrow and limited scope when applied to the Islamic
approach to education, because our Islamic worldview regarding
man is unlike those from the Western outlook that still regards
man as an animal specie (although evolved).
TASAWWUR ISLAM

Tarbiyyah ( ) – has the meanings “education,
upbringing, breeding, raising (of animals), instruction, pedagogy,
etc.
From which we have term “murabbin” ( ) “educator, (as
well as) breeder, tutor etc.
Yet, it is too general a term and can also be applied in terms of
raising, breeding and training of animals.

Thus,“ Adab” in the original basic sense (in Arabic) is the “inviting to
a banquet.”
The idea of a banquet implies the host is a man of honour and
prestige, and that many people are present; that the people who
are present are those who in the host’s estimation are deserving of
the honour of the invitation, and they are therefore people of
refined qualities and upbringing who are expected to behave as
befits their station, in speech, conduct and etiquette.” [1]

“It is very much related to the Islamic concept of Education for
ADAB is recognition and acknowledgement of the Reality, and
knowing of one’s place in the order of things; capable of putting
the right thing in their rightful place, in their rightful manner;
rendering just due to whomsoever has the right, and in our
acquisition of rightful things to be in accordance with the right
proportion and under the right circumstance …. It is very closely
related to the Islamic concept of AL-’ADL (the justice)*, the
upholding of which leads to TAQWA (the consciousness of Allah
that instill fear of transgression against Him).”

((Qur’an: al- Hajj: 22:78Qur’an: al- Hajj: 22:78))

“Nor should the Believers all go forth together: if a
contingent from every expedition remained behind,
they could devote themselves to studies in religion
(LIYA-TAFAQQAHUU FID-DEEN) and admonish the
people when they return to them― that thus they
(may learn) to guard themselves (against evil)."
((Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 122Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 122))

““INDEED, there has come unto you [O mankind] a Messenger
[Muhammad] from among yourselves: heavily weighs -upon
him [the thought] that you might suffer [in the life to come];
full of concern for you [is he, and] full of compassion and
mercy towards the believers.”.”
((Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 128Qur’an: Taubah: 9: 128))

“Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is
exalting Allah, (AL-MAALIK) the Sovereign , (AL-QUDDUS) the
Pure, (AL-’AZEEZ) the Exalted in Might , (AL-HAKEEM) the
Wise .
It is He (Allah) who has sent among the unlettered a
Messenger from themselves reciting to them His verses
(Signs) and purifying them (to grow in purity) and teaching
them the Book (AL-KITAAB) and wisdom (AL-HIKMAH) -
although they were before in clear error –”
(Qur’an: Juma’ah: 62: 1-2)

“ And [to] others of them (AA-KHAREEN) who have not
yet joined them. And He is (AL-’AZIZ) the Exalted in
Might, (AL-HAKEEM) the Wise.
That is the bounty of Allah, which He gives to whom He
wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.”
(Qur’an: Juma’ah: 62: 4-5)

“Alif, Lam, Ra. [This is] a Book which We have revealed
to you, [O Muhammad], that you might bring mankind
out of darkness's into the light by permission of their
Lord - to the path of the Exalted in Might (AL-’AZEEZ),
the Praiseworthy(AL-HAMEED) –”
(Qur’an: Ibrahim: 14: 1)

“Allah, to whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and
whatever is on the earth. And woe to the disbelievers
(AL-KAA-FIREEN), they will face the most severe
punishment!.”

“The ones who prefer the worldly life over the Hereafter
and avert [people] from the way of Allah, seeking to make
it (seem) deviant. Those are in extreme error.”

“And We did not send any messenger except [speaking] in
the language of his people to state clearly for them, and
Allah sends astray [thereby] whom He wills and guides
whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might
(AL-’AZEEZ), the Wise (AL-HAKEEM).”

“And We certainly sent Moses with Our signs, [saying], "Bring
out your people from darkness's into the light and remind
them of the days of Allah." Indeed in that are signs for
everyone (SWOB-BAA-RAN)patient and (SHAKUUR) grateful.”

“And [recall, O Children of Israel], when Moses said
to His people, "Remember the favour of Allah upon
you when He saved you from the people of
Pharaoh, who were afflicting you with the worst
torment and were slaughtering your [new-born]
sons and keeping your females alive. And in that
was a great trial from your Lord.”

“And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are
(SHAKARTUM) grateful, I will surely (LA-AZEE-DAN-NAKUM)
increase you [in favour]; but if you (KAFARTUM) deny, indeed,
My punishment is severe (‘AZAA-BEE – LASHADEE-D).' "
