Moral development in the light of the Holy Quran, Hadith, and Kalam e Bahoo

Sultan Bahoo is considered one of the greatest Sufi in the Indo-Pak Sub Continent belonging to Qadri Order he had determined the moral development in objectives of education in his poetry. We can easily dram the conclusion from the Kalam of Sultan Bahoo that "education is such a thing which enlightens the human conscience and makes him the upholder of truth. Education taught mannerism and makes its seekers aware of principles of life under the teachings of Islam. It is the learners in these words. "Oh intelligent soul, if you are in your senses then use your knowledge only for nobility, righteousness, and nearness to God" Translated from, Quran-E-Deedar, Page No. 124. Similarly, he says in his book Qurb-E-Deedar, "The Purpose of education is to attain nearness to God and enlighten the human conscience. Those who get knowledge for worldly fame, they are without conscience".

Allah Almighty says that in the Quran: 27-Alzariat-56:" And that I have created Jinn and human for the sake of my worship".

Even the Holy Prophet (PBUH) says "He who got the knowledge to earn wealth he is infidel, he who got the knowledge to cavil (taunt, objection) he is a hypocrite and him who got the knowledge to get happiness and pleasure of God he is a Muslim".

Sultan Bahoo regards hearth of the "Momin" and says

(Oh! Seeker! Your body is the housed Allah if you see inside, you don't need to ask Hadrat Khizar for the water of aliveness you have a spring of the water of aliveness inside your").

According to Sultan Bahoo, a student should possess six qualities.1. Faith 2. Self-belief. 3.Honesty. 4.Truthfulness 5. Desire 6. Love. (Kaleed ul Tauheed, page-891). In these qualities, he had more emphasized on morality. He says that the development of morality in the students interlinked with the practical life of the teacher. If a teacher's sayings are not by his actions then he is not in a position to enhance morality in his students. According to Sultan Bahoo, morality is the basic element for the successfulness of teaching and learning. The contents of education in the Sufi system of education were for enlightening human conscience and makes him upholder of truth about mannerism and character building. Sultan Bahoo says,

By rolling beads heart is not awakened what use is holding beads Hoo?

Acquired knowledge without respect what is gained from such knowledge's seeds Hoo

Remaining in solitude nothing is achieved what is the point of solitudes you complete Hoo

Milk will not set without a setting agent (Jaag) 'Bahoo' even to red if you heat Hoo.

He clearly said the content of education must foster the practical activities this is also in accordance with the actual spirit of Islam. The process of teaching and learning in Islamic perspectives is to train the next generation to develop morals and noble qualities along with professional development. The Sufi system of education was following Islam.

"In an Islamic system of education, the role of the teacher is three-fold,

(a) To prepare and motivate the pupil to be clean and receptive in intention and attention.

(b) To impart knowledge of the 'Book' (the text, the subject matter).

(c) And to enable the learner to comprehend the meaning, purpose and the wisdom to the knowledge so acquired.

The Quran has underlined these three main aspects of the role of the Prophet (PBUH) as a teacher (Wa yuzakkeehim was yu'allimhum al-Kitab was al-hikmah)" (Surah Al-Jummah, Verse 2): "God is who has sent to the unlettered Arab community a Messenger from their midst to relate and recite to them. His revelations and to impart sanctity to their quality and their actions, to teach them the Quran and impart to them the knowledge of its authoritative text to teach them the wisdom of judging rightly in matters, relating to life and conduct and to be in full accordance with fact, reason and good sense, and to teach them sound judgment in the choice of means and ends notwithstanding that they were before an ignorant adherent of evidently false beliefs".
