Methodology of the Prophet in Correcting People
Fees: $18
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم followed divine directive when teaching people around him and inviting them to goodness, as Allah Said in the Noble Qur'an, “Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best…” [An-Nahl, 125]
Correcting mistakes is from one of the teaching methods, which educationalists call the “remedial method”. Correcting people's mistakes is essential if teaching people is the aim. It is also from the profound Prophetic method, which is the best of methods for anyone who is keen to teach branches of knowledge. For every type of person or a group, there is a specific way of speaking to them, calling them, advising them and teaching them. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم would speak to people on the level of their comprehension, while showing empathy to those whom he was advising and correcting.
