The teaching methodology of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) offers a holistic approach that integrates emotional and moral development within the educational process. His approach emphasized compassion, empathy, justice, and character building alongside intellectual growth, creating a balanced educational framework. This study explores how these principles can be adapted to contemporary education systems, which often prioritize cognitive skills over emotional and ethical dimensions. Through a qualitative analysis of primary Islamic sources and modern educational literature, this research highlights the relevance of prophetic pedagogy in fostering emotional intelligence, moral reasoning, and holistic personality development in learners. The findings suggest that incorporating these timeless values into modern educational practices can address current challenges such as moral decline, stress, and lack of empathy among students. The study concludes with recommendations for educators to integrate emotional and moral education as foundational elements of teaching strategies.
