Essay on Teaching as the Noble Profession
There are many
professions which man has adopted according to his knowledge and ability. A
person can adopt any profession or business. It depends upon his aptitudes and
mental capability. All profession are equally important for the human
development. But the teaching is the profession which has lead people on the
high way of progress and prosperity. No development had been possible if there
had been no teacher. All the sciences all the arts and crafts and all the
civilizations and cultures are due to the teaching. In fact teaching is the
noble profession let me call the teaching as prophetic profession, because
invariably all prophets are teachers. They taught and preached the message of
God.
The importance and nobility of this profession is evident from a tradition
of Holy Prophet (Peace by upon Him) in which he says “I have been sent to you
as a teacher” in an other Hadith Holy Prophet (Peace by upon Him) says “He who
is neither teacher nor student is not a Muslim” these sayings of Holy Prophet
(Peace by upon Him) show the importance of teaching and learning and prove that
a Muslim must be a associated with the process of teaching. Thus teaching is a
great profession.
Teaching as a
profession requires a great courage and moral strength, because it is not sound
so far as financial side is concerned. But as regards the side of honour and
dignity teaching is considered a noble and respected profession. In the east
people always had awe and respect for this profession.
Teaching is a
noble profession because it deals with the words of God, written on human
hearts or in nature or in the Holy Books. All the secrets of the nature have
been revealed by teacher to humanity. All the messages of God have been
communicated by him to mankind. So the teacher is the source of knowledge and
guidance for human being.
Teaching aims at
enlightening and contentment of mind in men. Teaching broadens and illuminates
the dark corners of human heart and mind. Teaching tries to show the humanity
the road of progress and prosperity. Teaching does the work of character
building. It refines the personality of man and rise in him the thirst for
knowledge. Teaching tells man what is truth beauty and goodness. Through the
guidance of teacher man drinks from the sources of truth beauty and goodness
and tries to incorporate them in the life.
It is the
profession of teaching which had enabled man to be scientist, doctor,
philosopher, agriculturist, politician or lawyer. With the help of teacher a
person leads a successful life. Teaching not only trains a person for material
benefit but it also arranges moral, spiritual and religious training for man.
Let me say that the teaching is the profession which shows man the road which
leads him to the God.
