Answer:

Prophet Mohammad P.B.U.H. adopted a distinctive approach to teach his followers and companions the basics and concepts of Islam, which comes from divine revelation; his teachings cover all aspects of life, work, living and human dealings, which are suitable everywhere and anytime. The significant of this approach in individuals learning motivate us to highlight those ways in a scientific methodology. In this paper, we have classified the ways and methods adopted by the Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H in the education for Muslims generally and for his companions specially.

The Prophet Mohammad P.B.U.H starts new religion spreading by calling people to Islam and be ready to change their life to the better, his style was based on individual differences and consisted with their situations, natures, habits and mentalities(Sulayman, 2014). The prophet fully succeed in his task bringing the new nation of Islam to the world as Allah wants it to be by introducing the new religion rituals, aspects and concepts to the humanity by well-formed ways which are able to implement fruitfully across the time (Al-Saidi, 2009).

Nowadays, many of the modern learning methods may contains or depends on some learning basics comes from Prophet Mohammad school. Some ways are considered standards of current learning methods while other ways still scholarly uncovered until now up to our knowledge. The new emerged ways of adaptive learning models and blended learning environments are yet fertile field for making learning developments, and ways of torturing may be incorporated within this field(Mogire & Oboko, 2013),(Temdee, 2014).

Prophet Mohammad P.B.U.H School Categories:

The Prophet starts calling for Islam with his companions first in order to make a strong base for humans to learn from, worshiping Allah S.W.T., managing daily life and dealing with family and other people. Any act, behaviour, method or way taken from the Prophet is called Sunnah (Al-Twaim, 2011),(Ali, 2002),(Al-Ghazali, 1957).

Directing.

Practical Application: The Prophet gave the lessons regarding worshiping Allah and living matters to his followers, he started by himself doing the obligatory rituals to encourage Muslims to do so; he used the practical application to teach his followers the five pillars of Islam, which are not only movements formality performed for a particular purpose only, as well as not just a ritual or observance occupies a place or period of time; they are the media that raise the humans and close them to Almighty creator(Ali, 2002). An example when someone new to Islam asked the prophet about the prayers and their times, Prophet asked him to pray with people two days to learn, so that man just kept watching Muslims when they pray five times a day, after two days when last pray finished, Prophet ask where is that man who wished to learn prayers and their times? The man replied here I am, I learned them well. (Mehdi, 2013)

Getting Knowledge from Learners in The Presence of The Instructor.

Another approach is letting one of the learners give the lesson to the others, one day two men invoked to the Prophet; he diverted the judgment to one of his followers who said how to make a judgment in your presence? The Prophet replied, if you make right, you'll be rewarded ten, but if you make a wrong decisions you’ll get one reward only. Here the prophet encouraged Muslims to take the responsibilities of each other, not to limit for group of them.(Ali, 2002).

Openness to Other Communities.

The Prophet encouraged his followers to be open on other nations in order to know their customs, morals, behaviours and to keep safe from their harm. For example, the prophet asked one of his followers to learn Hebrew to be the prophet translator who could understand the Jews tribes' messages and reply to them in Hebrew. Another example during the Alkhandaq(Trench) war with Jews of Madinah who broke the covenant with Muslims, the Prophet took advantage of making trench in the northerner area of Almadinah, by advice from his follower Salman Alfarsi as Persian did against invasions by horses.(Debabeche, 2008).

Mind Management.

• Thinking Management: Quran and Sunnah encourages using the mind and intellect, forbidding minds wasting is of the greatest purposes of religion, with great interest in mental education,(Al-Twaim, 2011). In Islam, the request of science is an imposition, as well as education and delivery of science to others, Prophet said (Any one enter the Masjid to learn or to teach good matters, would be like the combatant for the sake of Allah).
• Mental Persuasion. The Prophet fostered mental persuasion development, which are the key of scientific discoveries' growth of the human mind. An example of utilizing mental persuasion, when a man came to the Prophet and said:( O Messenger of Allah, my boy was born black(suspect in his wife), the Prophet said: Do you have camels? Man said: Yes, Prophet said, what colors? He said: Reds, said: Is one of them grey? Man said: Yes, Prophet said: How so? Man said: mutation, Prophet Said: Perhaps your son is mutation), (Siddiqui, 2008).
• Brainstorming. Brainstorming is targeting an innovative problem solving, find new projects, stimulate thinking and creativity training and apprentice students (Debabeche, 2008). A brainstorming used by the Prophet when asked his followers: (What are the trees whose leaves never falls, that looks like the Muslim? [he meant that the Muslims good work never gone away]; Tell me about it? After a while the Prophet answered his question: The palm tree). Here the Prophet does not specify a particular person to get the answer from, instead his question was in a plural form to give the group of people a chance to think and discuss before answering, not to relate it to a particular person, which may have the impression of embarrassing(Siddiqui, 2008).
• Hitting Parables. Making comparisons among objects and events to derive the solution are from the nature of the human brain, hitting parables clearly shown in most of the dialogs and arguments. The Prophet gave preliminary and great importance to the way of hitting parables and metaphor for being an effective and influential role in the process of teaching and development of moral and social values (Ali, 2002). The Prophet hired hitting proverbs to illustrate his sermons to the people; which has a rhetorical persuasive power, splendour of clarity in the embodiment of the intended meaning, and portrayed in the form of sensory to make it is present in front of the listener. An evidence, when the Prophet said:(Such as the believers in their mutual love and mercy and compassion like the body if an organ complained to falter, the rest of the body ensuring fever). (Al-Zahrani, 2003).
