This study aims to analyze the Prophet Muhammad’s teaching methods In the book Ar-Rasūl al-Mu‘allim wa Asālībuhu fī at-Ta‘līm by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Fattāḥ Abū Ghuddah and their relevance to education In the Society 5.0 era. This research is motivated by the Importance of presenting a humanistic, contextual, and student-oriented learning model amid technological developments and the challenges of modern education. This study employed a qualitative approach using library research. The primary source of this research was the book Ar-Rasūl al-Mu‘allim wa Asālībuhu fī at-Ta‘līm, while supporting data were obtained from books, scientific journals, and previous studies relevant to the topic. Data were collected through documentation and literature review, then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The findings Indicate that the Prophet Muhammad’s teaching methods presented In the book are comprehensive, humanistic, flexible, and student-centered. The identified methods include exemplary conduct (uswah ḥasanah), dialogue and interaction (ḥiwār), parables and visualization (amtsāl), psychological and individual approaches, repetition and reinforcement, motivation and warning (targhīb wa tarhīb), as we”l as contextual and situational approaches. These methods encompass cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects in a balanced manner. The study also reveals that the Prophet Muhammad’s teaching methods are highly relevant to educational paradigms in the Society 5.0 era, particularly In the concepts of student-centered learning, Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), contextual learning, differentiated learning, and character education. Furthermore, the principles of the Prophet’s teaching methods can be integrated with digital technological developments without neglecting Islamic spiritual and moral values. Therefore, the Prophet Muhammad’s teaching methods are not only conceptually relevant but also practically applicable in addressing the challenges of modern education.
