CTS in teaching for tomorrow
Aspiring for Teaching Excellence
Allahهلالج لج’s formula for teaching
Disseminating real knowledge
Our Challenge as Teachers
1. Bring Allahهلالج لج into the class2. Introduce the Creator to His slaves3. Teach them that success lies in obedience
to Allahهلالج لج4. Teach them to take from the treasures of
Allahهلالج لج and give to the rest of mankindTo do this through science, maths and language
Integrated TeachingWhy do we need it?
Please ask yourself1. What do you call someone who studied full
time for 15 years?2. What do you call your child when he/she
passes the 12th class exam?3. Which job calls for a school graduate?
What did you pay for?
Who is responsible?• If a child doesn’t study• If a child has no manners• If a child lacks in confidence• If a child doesn’t know who Allahهلالج لج is• If a child has no connection with Rasoolullahملسو هيلع هللا ىلص
Who should be punished? But who is punished?
Teaching is where
It is legal to punish someone else for
your crimes
Education today1. Random information crammed without
reason2. Tested on random recall3. No focus on showing relatedness of one to
another4. No focus on application in lifeAfter 15 years of learning students
completely unprepared to face the world
What’s wrong today?1. Class organization according to age2. Teaching discrete subjects unrelated to
each other3. Ringing bells to announce periods4. Examining only random recall – not
understanding5. No child involvement in any decision
making6. No freedom to do what they want when
they wantThey usually call such places - prisons
1. The way we look at children2. The way we treat children3. The way we evaluate teachers4. The way we support teaching
What must change?
Who is the school for?
What to do?1. Accept them as equals2. Trust them with responsibility3. Pay based on customer
satisfaction4. Top pay, top quality, top facilities
Make the school aspirational for students and teachers
Bring the Qur’an aliveIntegrated teaching
Qur’anic method
ماوات واألرض واختالف إن في خلق السRولي األلباب Sهار آليات أل يل والن الل
ون الله قياما وقRعRودا وعلى RرR ذين يذك الماوات ون في خلق الس Rر Rوبهم ويتفك ن Rج
بحانك فقنا Rنا ما خلقت هذا باطال س واألرض ربار Allah saidعذاب الن
ويتفكرون
Qur’anic methodA’al Imraan 3:190. Verily! In the creation of the heavens and
the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for people of understanding.
191. Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, AND think deeply
about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): “Our Rabb! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted are You above all that they associate with You as
partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire.”
Allah used AND
Why this method?Islam recognizes that all knowledge is from Allah and that the purpose of knowledge
is to produce the awe and majesty of Allah (Khashyatullah) in the heart.
The natural result is to connect to Allah

Living knowledge to be applied in context
Two Oceansذي مرج البحرين هذا عذب فRرات وهRو ال
Rجاج وجعل بينهRما برزخا وحجرا وهذا ملح أمحجRورا
Furqan 25: 53. And it is He Who has let free the two seas (kinds of water), one palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter, and He
has set a barrier and a complete partition between them.
How does this happen and where is this?

Transform the way we thinkTo transform the way we teach
ألم نجعل األرض مهاداوالجبال أوتادا
Naba 78:6. Have We not made the earth as a bed, 7. And the mountains as pegs?
Sي نسفا Rونك عن الجبال فقRل ينسفRها رب ويسألTa-ha 20:105. And they ask you concerning the mountains, say; "My
Rabb will blast them and scatter them as particles of dust.
Sرت الجبالR فكانت سرابا ي RوسNaba 78:20. And the mountains shall be moved away from their
places and they will be as if they were a mirage
Did we ask1. ‘Why Pegs’?2. What if we had asked, discovered
and told the world about it – in the context of the Qur’an?
Who received this information first?But who confirmed it on their own?
Listen but make your own choices
Design decides product
Flight is a function of design
This is the result of our design

To walk the talk
Evaluate the one in the mirror
Because that is the only one in your control
