Generally many candidates do not manage their time properly: they often give long and over elaborate answers to questions 1, 2 and 3 (writing generally and not always on the point that was being asked), and then had no time for answers in remaining questions and sections. Candidates should attempt to avoid all these shortcomings.

It may be worth mentioning to advise candidates that the examiners look for:

  1. Precision (i.e. precision in answers to factual and descriptive questions)

  2. Thoughtfulness (i.e. thoughtfulness in answers to evaluative questions.)
The best advice candidates can have is:

  • They should first of all read through the paper

  • They should think about exactly what each question is asking and then as they give their answers to refer back repeatedly to the question to check that they are keeping to the points asked for and have not strayed into points that the question has ruled out.

FOR COMMENTS ON QUR' AN PASSAGES

In writing comments on chosen passages, most candidates give the main teachings of their chosen passage only while many resort to simple summary of the verses set rather than picking out major themes.

There is a significant difference between these, because while summarizing merely involves some comprehension of the contents of the passage, giving the main teachings shows awareness of how these passages contribute to the whole body of Islamic beliefs. Thus, candidates should provide major themes of the passages along with their main teachings.

FOR COMMENTS ON HADITH

For writing comments on Hadith, it is not necessary to write long comments on each Hadith; most candidates should be able to discuss it fully in half to three quarters of a side.

Pakistan and India:
Refuges: 1950, Liaquat Nehru Pact.
Resources: division of assets, water dispute -- India had cut off water—Indus water treaty 1959

1965 WAR: war over Rann of Kutch and Sindh/Rajasthan border. HEROIC DEFENCE saved Lahore from being occupied by India. MAJOR OFFENCE at Sialkot. USSR arranged cease-fire – Still no decision over Kashmir was reached.
1971 WAR: India had signed Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Commerce in 1971 with USSR. Civil war broke out in Bangladesh, India took this as opportunity and declared war. Humiliating defeat for Pakistan – soldiers imprisoned. Simla Agreement 1972.
AFTER 1971:
India developed Nuclear power in 1974 – Bhutto forced to develop Nuclear in Pakistan
Peaceful relations during Zia’s period
India faced uprising from Sikh community in 1980s. India accused Pakistan for all this. Mrs Gandhi was assassinated, her son, Ranjiv took control and blamed Pakistan.
In 1987, India started exercises in Rajasthan desert. There were chances of war. Zia flew to India supposedly to watch cricket match and met Indian leaders. He cooled down the situation.
1972, Pakistan opened KANUPP and had developed Nuclear Power. India again tested its missiles – threat of war.
1980, Pakistan and India refused to sign NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION TREATY.
Ranjiv visited Benazir in Islamabad 1989 to improve relations – failed.
