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.
