This research describes the prophet's style learning method and prophetic learning in English Language Teaching (ELT). This research is a library research. The researcher uses sources from books and national journals. The analysis shows that in Indonesia, teaching English is a lifelong endeavor, starting from elementary school and continuing through university. The Prophet Muhammad SAW is a role model for Muslims, as he pioneered education and developed learning models applicable in various contexts, including English study. Teachers/lecturers should prioritize sincerity, patience, and honesty in the classroom to create strong relationships with students and maintain a strong connection with Allah SWT. Prophet Muhammad is a Muslim trendsetter, demonstrating cognitive and affective learning methods. To incorporate prophetic learning into English teaching, they can use prophetic learning strategies such as 1) teacher as a model, 2) stimulus-response/questioning, 3) storytelling, 4) analogy/logical order, 5) direct practice, 6) applied materials, 7) offering advice, 8) closing statement. Prophets possess virtuous qualities such as honesty, trust, communication, and intelligence. Besides, teachers/lecturers should give examples, play the role of guides, and support students in learning progress. Teachers/lecturers should also be able to create curiosity and enthusiasm about the next meeting and be prepared to answer questions and provide answers. In conclusion, prophetic learning is a crucial aspect of a student's life, and educators should emulate the learning methods to ensure their students are equipped with the necessary skills to succeed in their studies.
