Who are the teachers:
Allah - Al-Aleem - The Knowledgeable -
He will teach You
He created the Pen = taught you what Insaan did not know.
He gave you a book to learn from.
Jibreel: فَإِنَّهُ جِبْرِيلُ أَتَاكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ دِينَكُمْ
Prophets & Prophet Muhammad (saw)
He was sent to teach the book and the wisdom.
Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us the tashahhud (testification of the Oneness of God and the Prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ just as he used to teach us a surah (chapter) from the Quran.” (Sahih (Darussalam), Sunan an-Nasa’i 1278)
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ embraced me and said, “O Allah! Teach him (the knowledge of) the Book (Qur’an).”. (Sahih al-Bukhari 7270)
The Special Status of Teachers in Islam
A parent to their child, A child to their younger sibling, An imam to his congregation, A teacher to their students)
The Prophet ﷺ said, “The best among you (Muslims) are those who learn the Qur’an and teach it.” (Sahih al-Bukhari 5027)
[Prophet], all the messengers We sent before you were simply men to whom We had given the Revelation: you [people] can ask those who have knowledge if you do not know. (Surah An-Nahl, 16:43-44)
Narrated Abu Umamah Al-Bahili: “Two men were mentioned before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One of them a worshiper, and the other a scholar. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘The superiority of the scholar over the worshiper is like my superiority over the least of you.’ Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Indeed Allah, His Angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths – even the ant in his hole, even the fish – say Salat upon the one who teaches the people to do good.'” (Hasan (Darussalam), Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2685)
“One who guides to something good has a reward similar to that of its doer.” (Sahih Muslim 1893 a).
