If we are asked to write down the services of one of the rightly guided caliphs in the IG exam, in Paper 2, Umar(RA) for example, would the services include BOTH the battles fought during his time AND his administration ?? If so wouldn't the answer be TOO long for 10 marks as many battle were fought during his reign and there are many points for his administration given too..?
Thanks:)

services doesn't relate with battles. U may relate it with administration that how the administration of the Caliphs served the Muslim Empire. However, u must not forget to include the actual services of the Caliphs like unifying the reading of Quran by Hazrat Usman (R.A)

So the battles won during their reign are not a part of their services? I.e the Muslim armies were sent by the Caliphs so won't this be a service?? If not, are we supposed to mention the areas conquered during their reign ? Thanks a lot

that's not a service, thats responsibility of a caliphs to manage situations using military force where appropriate.

Well I don't really agree with this ... I've given my Islamiat last year and I've been to best academies and teachers. And from my knowledge in his services you should include the battles he took part in .... And don't make it too lengthy just tell the names of the battles and so it wouldn't be too long for 10 marks

and what about the battles he did not ACTUALLY take part in but only sent the army under the command of generals ? Would those battles still be included? Ty

So as in Umar(RA)'s caliphate, he did not actually participate in any battles himself, he sent armies under the command of Khalid bin Waleed for example, so for his services ,is his administration, the treasury and services to people ,the only thing that needs to be mentioned? thanks again :)..this is the first time i'm taking an Islamic studies IG exam soo lil nervous ..
