Educators

Educators carry one of the heaviest trusts: they are not only the bridge between parents and youth, but also the bridge between the student and the revelation Allah sent down to His Messenger ﷺ. The role of a teacher is therefore noble and weighty — to pass on knowledge as it was revealed, without distortion or addition, nurturing the next generation upon the clear guidance of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ.

The Educators Hub provides resources that assist teachers in this task. All content is drawn from authentic sources, presented with clarity, and aimed at strengthening tasfiyyah (purification) and tarbiyyah (cultivation) in the classroom. Our goal is not to dictate how an educator performs their role, but to supply structured, ready-to-use tools that make their job easier and more effective — always upon the Salafī manhaj.

Core Resources for Educators

• Authentic Knowledge Dissemination:  Educators are reminded that their teaching must be clear and firmly grounded in evidence. The vision is tasfiyyah (purification) and tarbiyyah (cultivation) upon the Qur’an and Sunnah as understood and practiced by the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ. Lessons should be explained in the local language for accessibility, but always anchored with Qur’anic āyāt, prophetic aḥādīth, and key Arabic terms. This guards against dilution, keeps knowledge connected to its original sources, and ensures that students grow upon true Salafī understanding.
   
• Curriculum Support through Printables: Classroom time is reinforced with ready-to-print materials such as fill-in-the-blank worksheets, Q&A handouts, readable material etc. Each lesson can end with a quiz, ensuring that students leave with something tangible to review at home. This also reflects the Salaf’s practice of remembering and writing down knowledge.
   
• Assignments & Quizzes: Educators can download and print assignments that strengthen learning — short-answer questions, activities, or sequencing the steps and procedures of certain topics e.g. ṣalāh. These tools allow teachers to check comprehension and encourage students to revise.
   
• Guidance & Mentorship Resources: The portal also offers reminders and articles for teachers themselves: advice on classroom discipline, how to use repetition and Q&A, and how to avoid weak stories or unauthentic narrations. These resources encourage educators to align their methods with the way of the Salaf.
   
• Teacher Development: The Salaf reminded educators to begin with themselves. Teachers are encouraged to continuously review their own ʿaqīdah, fiqh, and teaching methods, keeping themselves free from innovations, desires and errors, so they can cultivate the students with sincerity and clarity.

Notes:

Tasfiyyah; To purify and correct—our heart, (including homes and classrooms) by removing anything that contradicts The Qur’ān and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf (pure Islam)— whether wrong beliefs, innovated practices, or harmful habits.

Tarbiyyah; is to nurture, cultivate, and educate children step by step upon the Qur’ān and the Sunnah, as understood by the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ. It means raising them upon correct creed and sound belief, establishing them in prayer, instilling noble manners, and cultivating love for Allah, His Messenger ﷺ, and the entirety of Islām. 

Shaykh al-Albānī رحمه الله said: “The key to a return of the glory of Islām is two matters: tasfiyyah (purification) and tarbiyyah (education). Tasfiyyah means purifying Islām from what has entered into it of shirk, innovations, weak and fabricated narrations, and the mistakes of scholars. Tarbiyyah means cultivating the young generation upon this purified Islām giving to them a correct Islamic education from the start, so that they grow upon it without deviating. ”
