The Obligation to Teach in the Qur'an NURAINIY 3120220066 Islamic Religious Education Faculty of Islamic Religion, As-Syafi’iyah Islamic University Abstract The obligation to teach is one of the important mandates affirmed in the AlQur'an, where education and dissemination of knowledge is considered a sacred duty in Islam. The Qur'an contains many verses that encourage mankind to seek, teach, and practice knowledge, such as in Surah Al-'Alaq (96:1-5) which commands reading and learning as a form of worship to Allah. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH, as the last messenger, is also known as the main teacher who teaches Allah's revelation to his people. In addition, in Surah At-Taubah (9:122), Allah commands some people to delve into religious knowledge and convey their understanding to others as part of da'wah. The task of teaching is not only limited to religious science but also includes all knowledge that brings benefits to human life. Thus, teaching in Islam is not only an individual right but also a collective obligation aimed at creating a knowledgeable and civilized society. Introduction Education has a very important role in the formation of character, morals, and the development of science in a society. In Islamic teachings, these educational values even have a strong foundation, namely in the Qur'an as the holy book of Muslims. The Qur'an not only contains instructions on spiritual life and worship, but also guidance on various aspects of life, including in terms of education and learning. Teaching and seeking knowledge are the two main concepts that complement each other in the Islamic tradition. Teaching is not just considered as a job or profession, but as a noble obligation, especially for those who have knowledge. This teaching obligation does not only apply to teachers or formal educators, but also to every individual who has the knowledge and ability to disseminate it. (Tiffany Shahnaz Rusli, Suri, 2024, p. 11) In the Qur'an, there are many verses that emphasize the importance of science, the encouragement to continue learning, and the obligation to pass on knowledge to others. Allah SWT emphasizes that knowledge is one of the virtues given to humans, and therefore spreading knowledge is a great responsibility. In Surah AlMujadilah verse 11, Allah mentions that those who believe and have knowledge will be exalted. This verse not only shows appreciation for knowledge seekers, but also emphasizes the importance of continuing to spread knowledge to others as a form of social contribution and worship. The Prophet PBUH also strengthened this through various hadiths that emphasized the virtue of those who convey knowledge and teach it to others. (Fikria, Husnah, Ardimen, 2024) The obligation to teach in Islam is also rooted in the concept of amar ma'ruf nahi munkar, which means inviting goodness and preventing evil. Teaching is a concrete form in carrying out this concept, where knowledgeable people have a role to invite them to the right path through their knowledge. Education in Islam is not only limited to religious education, but includes various sciences that are beneficial for life in this world and the hereafter. The sciences taught in Islam include natural, social, and also sciences related to morals and good behavior. Therefore, the obligation to teach does not only mean teaching religious teachings, but also all forms of knowledge that can bring benefits to society. In the history of Islamic civilization, the role of scholars, teachers, and scholars is very large in spreading knowledge, both in the field of religion and general science. The success of Islamic civilization that had experienced its heyday in the Middle Ages was greatly influenced by the great attention paid to science and education. This tradition of teaching and learning is encouraged by teachings in the Qur'an and hadith which emphasizes the importance of seeking knowledge from the cradle to the grave. (Badarussyamsi et al., 2021) In addition, the Qur'an also reminds about moral responsibility for those who hide knowledge. In Surah Al-Baqarah verse 159, Allah SWT warns that those who hide the knowledge that He has sent down will receive curses, both from Allah and from His creatures, unless they repent and explain the knowledge to others. This verse emphasizes that hiding knowledge is an act that is not liked in the Islamic view, because knowledge must basically be disseminated so that more people can get benefits and guidance. Therefore, people who have knowledge are expected to teach it, not only for their own benefit, but also for the good and benefit of the people. In the modern context, the obligation to teach can be interpreted in many forms, from formal education in schools and colleges, to teaching in family and community settings. The Qur'an also gives freedom in the method of disseminating knowledge, as long as its main purpose is to convey goodness and useful knowledge In today's increasingly technologically advanced world, the obligation to teach in Islam has become increasingly relevant and important. The Qur'an gives clear instructions that knowledge must continue to be disseminated in order to create an intelligent, critical, and well-behaved society. The obligation to teach in the Qur'an is not only about conveying certain material or knowledge, but also about instilling moral, spiritual, and social values and a sense of social responsibility to the next generation. Thus, teaching in Islam does not only focus on the transfer of knowledge, but also on the formation of character in accordance with divine values. The Qur'an teaches that knowledge is a great gift that must be used to the best of its ability, and teaching is one way to be grateful for this gift. (Kosim, 2023, p. 61) Research Methods The methodology of this research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method to examine the theme "The Obligation to Teach in the Qur'an." This research aims to understand the meaning and urgency of the obligation to teach from the perspective of the Qur'an and dive into verses that discuss the importance of spreading knowledge and teaching in Islam. The data used in this study are sourced from the main literature, namely the Qur'an and classical and contemporary interpretations, as well as hadiths relevant to this topic. In addition, this study also utilizes secondary sources in the form of academic books, scientific journals, articles, and studies from Muslim scholars and scholars that discuss the obligation of teaching and education in Islam. The data collection process begins by looking for verses of the Qur'an that contain commands or recommendations to convey knowledge, either explicitly or implicitly. These verses are then analyzed using the thematic interpretation method, which groups Qur'anic verses according to certain themes, in this case related to the obligation to teach. The next step is to examine the interpretations of scholars regarding these verses in various books of tafsir, such as Tafsir Al-Mishbah, Tafsir Ibn Kathir, and Tafsir Al-Maraghi, to gain a deeper understanding. The hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH related to the importance of spreading knowledge are also analyzed to strengthen the understanding of the obligation to teach in Islam. After the data is collected, the analysis is carried out using descriptive-analytical techniques, where each information obtained is presented descriptively and then analyzed to find the value contained in the teaching concept according to the Qur'an. With this methodology, it is hoped that the research can provide a comprehensive understanding of the obligation to teach in Islam and how it can be implemented in the daily lives of Muslims.

Al-Alaq verses 1-7 Paragraph 1: God's first commandment is "Read!" as a symbol of the importance of knowledge and awareness of God's creation. Learning must begin by mentioning the name of Allah, who is the source of all knowledge and wisdom. Paragraph 2: Allah reminds us that human beings were created from 'alaq (a clot of blood or embryo), which indicates a very weak human origin. It teaches humans to be humble and not arrogant. Verses 3-4: Allah reaffirms the command to read and introduces Himself as God the Most Merciful (AlAkram), who gives man the tool of education, namely the pen. The pen symbolizes the importance of documentation, learning, and dissemination of knowledge. Verse 5: God teaches man what he did not know before. This shows that the ability to learn is a gift of God and it is the responsibility of humans to make good use of it. Verse 6: This verse describes human nature that often goes beyond the limit when feeling enough or strong. This arrogance often arises because people forget their origins and forget to thank Allah. Verse 7: Humans tend to feel that they do not need Allah when they feel that they are self-sufficient or rich. This verse is a warning that any wealth or excess should not make man forget his relationship with the Creator. 2. At-Taubah verse 122 • "It is not proper for the believers to go all (to the battlefield)." This verse makes it clear that not everyone should go to war at the same time. In society, there are various responsibilities that must be carried out, one of which is to deepen religious knowledge. • "Why not go from each of them some to deepen their knowledge of religion." Allah commands that from each group, there must be a part that remains for tafakkuh fiddin (understanding religion in depth). This includes learning sharia, Islamic law, morals, and understanding the Qur'an and sunnah. • "And to give a warning to his people when they have returned to him." The task of those who study knowledge is to give advice or warnings to their other people after they have finished jihad. In this way, the Muslim community still gains a balance between physical defense (jihad) and spiritual and intellectual formation. • "That they may take care of themselves." The ultimate goal of religious science is to warn the people to be fearful, obey Allah's commands, and stay away from His prohibitions. Conclusion Teaching is a noble obligation in Islam which has a strong foundation from the Qur'an and the Sunnah. Teaching activities are not only a process of imparting knowledge, but also an effort to educate, guide, and inspire individuals to become better individuals. In Islam, Allah commands humans to read, learn, and convey knowledge as contained in Surah Al-'Alaq verses 1-5, which emphasizes the importance of education as the basis for human progress. The obligation to teach is also affirmed in Surah At-Taubah verse 122, which shows that some people must deepen religious knowledge and then convey it to others. This indicates that teaching is not only the duty of scholars or teachers, but also every individual who has knowledge. The Prophet PBUH said, "Convey from me even if it is only one verse," (HR. Bukhari), which shows that teaching obligations can be carried out according to their respective abilities. Teaching is not only oriented to the teaching of worldly sciences but also includes spiritual, moral, and faith values. This process aims to create a generation that is not only intelligent, but also has a noble and responsible character. In this context, teaching is a worship that brings a person closer to Allah, because the knowledge that is taught and utilized will become charity whose rewards continue to flow. In practice, teaching must be done with sincerity, wisdom, and methods that suit the needs of students. As mentioned in Surah An-Nahl verse 125, teaching must be done with wisdom and good teaching. This means that a teacher must understand the condition of his students, instill motivation, and set a good example in daily life. In conclusion, the obligation to teach in Islam is one of the most important tasks to ensure the sustainability of knowledge, the values of goodness, and human civilization. This activity is not only a form of devotion to Allah, but also a real contribution to creating a better society. Through teaching, a Muslim can carry out his duties as a caliph on earth by spreading useful knowledge and becoming an inspiration for future generations. Bibliography Abdul Hamid. (2022).
