General Education in Islam as an Integrated Educational Model Presented by the Prophet Muhammad (SAAS)

This study aims to explore the features of general education in Prophetic pedagogy by examining its methods, tools, and characteristics as an integrated educational model that contributes to the cognitive, moral, and behavioral development of individuals. The research problem arises from the scarcity of contemporary studies that provide a comprehensive perspective on general education within the Prophetic biography, despite its richness in educational practices applicable to modern learning contexts. The study adopts a historical descriptive approach, analyzing educational texts and situations in the Prophetic biography and authentic Sunnah sources, and interpreting their pedagogical implications while extracting practical educational lessons, without claiming a strictly analytical methodology. Findings reveal that Prophetic general education was characterized by comprehensiveness, gradual progression, attention to individual differences, and a strong link between knowledge, values, and behavior. It employed diverse educational methods such as preaching, dialogue, role modeling, practical instruction, and non-verbal tools. The study concludes that the Prophetic educational model represents a balanced framework that can be effectively utilized in contemporary education systems, particularly in promoting values, identity formation, and the development of well-rounded individuals
