Our worthy speaker did very impactful speeches on role of teacher. In this respect they said that the role of a teacher is really significant in Islam. The prophets, as well as Allah, teach us to be obedient and listen to our teachers in order to be successful in life. This means if the student is obedient and respects his or her teachers, Allah assists him in achieving his or her goals.

This Webinar is basically organized to wake up our students about teacher respect and also Students can show their consideration for their teachers by obeying their instructions in the class. Teachers don't only impart knowledge, but they also help with character building as well. The role of a teacher transcends following a specific lesson plan and work schedule. In this role, the teacher can encourage the student to be the best they can be, and also be a source of inspiration and advice to the students.

In this aspect our worthy Ms.Rahat Ajmal (Principal/ HOD of Arabic Department) also put light on Role of Teacher in nation building .At the last she thanked to our worthy Vice Chancellor for giving the opportunity for organizing this webinar and also thanked Director DFDI and Department of Mass Communication for their cooperation.
