Philosophers and educators have defined the education in a number of ways. Described for the purpose of education. The ancient philosophers Aristotle, Socrates and Platto have described the significance of education. From then on, thinkers of all ages have talked about education. Tried to identify and define the education.

It is known from the Qur'an that the Prophets were sent to the purpose of preaching. They have presented the significance of education and the objectives of the object explicitly before their respective nations. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was sent as a teacher. The significance of the teaching of al-Qur'ân and his own words on the Hadith revealed on him, and the purpose of the mission is reflected in the light of daylight.

1 What is education?

Now we will try to know what is the education? What is the definition of education? What is the significance? And what does education actually mean? At first I would like to explain several words. Analysis of the words used to mean learning can be helpful in understanding the meaning of education. To understand such an object, it is absolutely necessary to analyze its components.

Education in English is Education. The common literal meaning of the word education is: teaching and rearing, teaching, education. Educate means: to bring up and instruct, to teach, to train, to fulfill and to educate, to teach, to practice.

Joseph T. Shipley writes in his Dictionary of the word Origins: The word education comes from Latin Edex and Ducer-Duc. The literal meaning of these words is to find out, to find out, to show the way. Gathering information in a broader sense and developing latent talent.

An educationist wrote that the education according to the word of education is the sleeping genius among the learner or the guide of the way.

Another educationist wrote:

Education denotes the realization of innate human potentialities of individuals through the accumulation of knowledge.4

Let us now analyze the terms that have been used for the study of the Quran and Arabic, and then let us analyze them. In this case, five words are well-known. These are: 1. Tarabiyah (تربية) 2. Talim (تعليم) 3. Tadib (تأديب) 4. Tadrīb (تدريب) 5. Tadris (تدريس).

These words are derived from:

تربية has emerged from the word ربو. ربو means: Increase, to grow. to grow up, to over, to raise, to rear, bring up, to educate, to teach, instruct, to bread, to develop, augment

And تربية Meaning: Education, up bringing Instruction, Pedagogy, Breeding, Raising 5

  1. Samsad English-Bengali dictionary, Calutta 22nd pression, September 1990

  2. Mohammad Azhar Ali: Reading system and class organization, Bangla Academy - 1998.

  3. Education in Islamic Society: A. M. Chowdhury: Dhaka 1965

  4. Mujamul Lugatul al-Arabiyat al-Muasirah By J Milton Cowan

The word تعليم is composed from علم. Talim (تعليم) means: Information, Advice, Instruction, Direction, Teaching, Training, Schooling, Education, Apprenticeship.

تأديب [tadib] has been formed from the word أدب [adab]. Adab (أدب) means: Culture, Refinement, Good breeding, Good, manners, Social graces, Decorum The meaning of this meaningful أدب [adab] is made from the word تأديب. So, in the words of these words, all these meanings are implied, whereas on the other hand, education and discipline mean the same.

تدريب [tadarib] means: Habitation, Accustoming, Practice, Drill, Schooling, Training, Coaching, Tutoring.8

The word tadris [tadaras] has been formed from the word درس [daras]. Tadris means: To study, to learn, to teach, to instruct, to wipe out, to blot out, to thrash out, tution.9

From lexical meaning it is clear that these terms are very meaningful. Especially the first and second words are very broad-minded. The third word is used in particular in the sense of behavioral pedagogy. The fourth word is used in the sense of developing a habit with learning and training. The fifth word is used in the sense of eliminating untamed habits and situations by reading, teaching, teaching, teaching and teaching.

From these terms, there is an idea about far-reaching purpose and wide scope of education. If these five words are written in the context of Islam, then the importance of education in the eyes of Islam can be clearly understood. The meaning of these terms is derogatory from the literal meaning:


  1. Aforementioned
  2. The aforementioned book.
  3. That book
  4. That book
  5. Growth / Growth / Growth
  6. Improved / Enhanced / Enhanced.
  7. Fullness / make great / great / blown
  8. Raise / raise / inspire.
  9. Build / establish / develop
  10. Rearing / rearing.
  11. Teaching / Educating
  12. Teaching / practicing / teaching / practicing / disciplining in hands.
  13. Suggest / give instruction / order / give / give instructions.
  14. To discipline unauthorized behavior, rule to make / empower people to rule.
