The three learning theories are categorized under the following sub-heading:
i) Behaviorism as a learning theory
ii) Cognitivism as a learning theory
iii) Constructivism as a learning theory.

But, first and forest, let's define the term learning. Learning can simply be defined as the process of acquiring knowledge or the situation whereby there exists a change in one's behavior. But in psychology learning is commonly defined as a process that brings together cognitive, emotional, and environmental influences and experiences for acquiring, enhancing, or making changes in one's knowledge, skills, values, and world views (Illeris, 2004; Ormrod, 1995).
Learning as a process focuses on what happens when the learning takes place. Explanations of what happens constitute what we called learning theories. Now we go a head discussing the three fundamentals learning theories as mentioned above.

i) Behaviorist: This learning theory advocated on learning by stimuli, response and re-enforcement. From Islamic perspective of this theory concurred with the pedagogy of Rasulullah, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in way that, when tracing back on how revelation began.
It was a popular sirah among the Muslim Ummah that with the appearance of Angel Jibril as the our noble Prophet to read! (Iqra) repeatedly but the Prophet (PBUH) replied that I could be able to read and then Angel JIbril (AS) hugs the Prophet and that could be termed as the sign of re-enforcement.
After that hugging the Prophet, was ordered to read in the name our lord. Therefore, going by the above analysis we can say behaviorism as learning theory was in conformity with the pedagogy of our noble Prophet peace and blessing of Allah be upon him.
ii) Cognitivist: This learning theory presumed that learning took place only when one engaged learning by either memorization, analysis, synthesizing or problem solving mechanism.
When relating this learning theory within the Islamic context, we can vividly see that, Prophet Muhammad (PBHU) is most learned human being on the earth until today and he hailed from Arab tribe and as such usually found that Arabs were characterized as the best in terms of memorization ability as compared to other races.
It was also established that, children who were early exposed to Qur'anic system of education do much better in formal schooling system more especially in the area of sciences.
iii) Constructivist: Constructivist as one of the learning theories advocated that learning usually took place within the confine of collaboration between individual or groups of people. through collaboration one would be able to discover certain potential, to agree or disagree, to believe or not believe, to accept or not accept.
Through this, most what learned remained permanently in one's mind. Linking this learning theory to Islam, could be viewed from one of the Prophet Hadith, narrated that, there were group of sahaba sent for an errand by the Prophet and the prophet ordered them to pray Asr prayer at the final destination.
On their way going, Asr prayer time catches with them, there, some among the sahaba prayed before and some prayed after reaching the final destination. When they narrated to the prophet, he said they were all right. This was discovery learning by the sahabatul Rasulullah (SAW).
