An Islamic Perspective of Teaching Philosophy: A Personal Justification

This paper examines the rationale for my teaching philosophy from an Islamic perspective. The theoretical issues in this paper are the purpose of education, functions of the pen, purpose of man, integration of the curriculum, instructor‟s leadership in the class, instructor‟s Islamic knowledge and motivation. In this paper, as an educator who is Muslim, I explain my teaching objectives, mission, and vision based on teachings from Al-Quran. This paper also creates a road map and a reference point for educators who want to write their own Islamic teaching philosophy statements to help them make informed decisions when teaching their students. In my Islamic teaching philosophy, I apply the concept of the Naqli (revealed knowledge) and the Aqli (rational knowledge) approach for teaching and learning in the classroom.
