This generation cannot easily be engaged and satisfied unless a variety is incorporated in the teaching learning process. This is an important task which is to be done by teachers in general and religion (Islamic studies) teachers in particular. If the pedagogical strategies (like small group work problem solving story-telling, project based learning and exemplification strategies) applied by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the strategies in vogue nowadays in education are combined, then it will be easy for teachers to cope up with any problem arising in teaching learning process. Consequently, modern students will be engaged in an effective, interesting and interactive way as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has guided Muslims in all walks of life tremendously and was the most outstanding teacher and is a model of excellence for teachers as well.
