The Position of Teaching and Teacher

It is clear that having sufficient knowledge is necessary to have an Ideal life.
On the other hand, when a man is born, he/she does not know anything and needs to be educated.

Hence, one of the most important persons in a society is the teacher. Teacher teaches required things to the student and guides him/her to the right way. Teacher is able to instruct the customs of life to his/her student and ensure his/her future. And also teacher can prevent his/her student from slip and mistake.

Due to this high position of teacher, the sacred religion of Islam gives directives about the place and rights of teacher. In fact, the high position of teacher is because of the high position of science and learning in Islam. As it is stated in the Glorious Qur’an: “Say: Are those who know equal to the ones who do not know? (Az-Zumar, verse: 9)

And also, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny) has said: “the good of the world and the Hereafter is in learning and the evil of the world and the Hereafter is in ignorance.” (Bihār al-Anwār/volume79/page170)

And it is clear that a teacher has an effective role in releasing society from ignorance.

In brief and as a result of this note, Islam orders to know the place of teacher and to respect his/her rights.
