Prophetic communication styles in teaching

Islam sees the role of teachers not only to teach, yet they also act as change agents in society. They serve the society as educator, counsellor, trainer, guide and consultant. They are obliged to ensure the academic excellence as well as outstanding personal traits of a student. This job requires a teacher to apply the best communication styles in teaching and there is no doubt that the styles implemented by the Prophet PBUH is the best to be applied. This paper has conceptually discussed on the significance of prophetic communication styles in teaching as highlighted by Halim Tamuri, Al-Nahlawi and Razali Saaran which consist of seven prophetic communication styles in terms of citing, delivering, inserting advice, making analogy, inserting humor, using non-verbal communication and calling names. � 2017 American Scientific Publishers All rights reserved.
