This is a tricky one, you may have a teacher who mocks you or makes fun of you or teases you. If this occurs, overlook it, whilst you are studying with him. Do not let yourself dislike your teacher, concentrate on your subject and do not waver. If it is a subject that doesn't make a difference to your daily needs, in terms of knowledge, you may think about finding another teacher.
Or you could simply finish the text with that scholar and then find another teacher. To find another teacher may be more difficult than it may seem.
The best advice is to study with him and ignore his manners, unless it reaches a limit that it becomes common knowledge. So that he may be condemned by the average person.
Study hard and keep your work up, do not allow yourself to be distracted by anyone.
Knowledge is too precious to be distracted from by something small.
It is also important to note that the teacher may not think he is mocking you when he does. He may think it is funny and that you too are taking it as a joke as well.
Only consider leaving the teacher if you know he commits major wrong actions publicly and he doesn't repent openly. Also please note, you may have a teacher who is gossiped about, so check the stories you hear and don't take the persons word for it.
You may have students that are jealous of you and don't want you to study with that scholar, so beware of that as well.

Salam alaikum,
ReplyDeleteThe thing I always struggle with is why a teacher should have such manners. Does his learning not enter his heart?
You have a good point, Tim.
