Uslub al-Hiwar min Khilal Sirat Musab ibn Umayr - radiyallahu anhu - wa Tatbiqatuhu al-Tarbawiya

Uslub al-Hiwar min Khilal Sirat Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr - radiyallahu ‘anhu - wa Tatbiqatuhu al-Tarbawiya (The Method of Dialogue Through the Biography of Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr and Its Educational Applications) is an Islamic pedagogical study by Adnan ibn Sulayman al-Jabiri, examining dialogue methods and their educational implementations through the life of the Companion Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr .

Background and Purpose

The work was originally prepared as a complementary master's thesis in Islamic education at the Islamic University of Madinah (College of Da‘wah and Usul al-Din, Department of Education) during the academic year 1433–1434 AH (2012–2013 CE), under the supervision of Dr. ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Raja’ Allah al-Ahmadi, where the author was awarded the degree with distinction and first-class honors .

The primary aim of the study is to demonstrate the centrality and early development of dialogue as an educational technique within Islamic pedagogy by analyzing the life and interactions of Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr . The study seeks to articulate the governing guidelines (ḍawābiṭ) and etiquettes of dialogue—psychological, scholarly, and verbal—demonstrated in Mus‘ab's life, identify its educational outcomes, and outline practical applications for modern settings .

Methodology

The author employed two primary research methods :

  • Deductive approach (al-manhaj al-istinbāṭī): used to extract pedagogical meanings and dialogue principles directly from historical reports concerning Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr .
  • Descriptive-analytical approach (al-manhaj al-waṣfī al-taḥlīlī): applied to analyze and organize historical texts into a cohesive educational framework .

Additionally, the author attributed Quranic verses and hadiths to their sources, defined obscure terms, and explained unfamiliar geographical locations mentioned in the narrative .

Structure and Content

The book is organized into five main chapters, along with an introduction and a conclusion :

  • Chapter One: Biography of Mus‘ab ibn ‘Umayr, covering his birth and upbringing, his conversion to Islam, his migrations to Abyssinia and Medina, and his death .
  • Chapter Two: The concept and significance of dialogue, detailing its definition, its presence in the Quran and the Prophetic Sunnah, and its overall importance .
  • Chapter Three: Guidelines and etiquettes of dialogue in Mus‘ab's life, divided into sections on general guidelines, psychological etiquettes (al-ādāb al-nafsiyya), scholarly etiquettes (al-ādāb al-‘ilmiyya), and verbal etiquettes (al-ādāb al-lafẓiyya) .
  • Chapter Four: The educational impacts and results of dialogue derived from Mus‘ab's biography .
  • Chapter Five: Practical educational applications of the dialogue method across three domains: the family, the school, and the mosque .

The conclusion summarizes the principal findings of the research and presents recommendations and proposals for further educational practice .
