Teaching is believed to be prophetic profession and teacher is an individual who provides education to students. It will not be wrong to say that the credit of progress in all walks of life of universe we have achieved till today rests on the head of all the teachers of universe. Teachers are actually the role models. After ones parents , it is the teacher who plays a major role in the up bringing of a child and sometimes the role of teachers becomes even more important than the parents. Islam also teaches us to respect our teachers but unfortunately non Muslims follow this teaching more religiously. The words of Hazrat Al a.s in the plight of teachers are ” the one who has taught me single word is my teacher.” Indeed, there are multiple roles played by teachers. A good teacher is also like a parent, mentor , psycologist, best guide, leader, motivator, companion , friend, role model, counselor etc. Teacher has many qualities like colors of rainbow. We should always be thankful to our teachers for changing our lives. What ever we are, is the reasult of our teachers, who never let us down even when there was no hope of optimism extant in our lives. They encouraged us , motivated us and led us to track that ultimately helps us reach our destination. It is their trust in our potencies. They discover our talent with an eagle eye. I pray for the prosperity , peace of mind and good health of my all the teachers who have taught me even a single word. Thank you for accepting us with all our faults and follies. Thank you for always being there at the time of need. Thank you for awarness and introducing all the colors of life . Love you the way you nourished us. At the time when i am writing this , my tears are rolling down while remembering thelove, affection and care of our teachers. One line for my best teacher ” Tum jeo hazaru saal” May you live long.
