Summary
Authentic or good hadiths show that teachers and educators hold a noble position. They receive great reward for every piece of knowledge they teach, equal to the reward of those who act upon it, without reducing the latter's reward. Creatures in the heavens and the earth also pray for their good. Teachers are advised to be sincere, caring, fair, patient and trustworthy, and to take the Prophet SAW as their example.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tugas guru atau mendidik adalah satu tugas yang mulia kerana ia juga adalah tugas para nabi dan rasul.
