islamiyat exam, golden tips

[izzahzainab]

if you check the syllabus, you have areound 10 surahs and 20 ahadis speciified for a and b parts, am i right?
you just need to know how to GENERALIZE them in one 10 mark question. its lyk telling a non-muslim what your religion is all about

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

we have 15 surahs and 20 hadith !! and what do we have to tell ??

 

[izzahzainab]

they'll ask you a question accordingly. "describe what Muslims believe about the aspects of Allah, with reference to the surahs you have studied(or something like that" then you'll have to mention Allah's justice, power, vision, control, mercy, wrath, and everything that is about Allah's NAture and not about any prophet, with reference to the surahs "in your book"

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

oh ok !! thanks you so much !!

 

[Spidey21]

really izzahzainab....you got 97%??? thats awesome yar..........................and yeah thanks for all these tips for these questions and yeah one more i was told by my teacher that whenever you are writing about the prophets then you write that all are same in status and when it comes to the MAIRAJ event where Prophet SAW led a prayer with all other prophets we are supposed to write of prophet SAW being of higher regard!!!! please izzahzainab explain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[izzahzainab]

well, your teacher knows better. but i never knew that much about mairaj. Holy Prophet has always been above all prophets in the context of being "the seal of prophets" and most importantly our kalma only states HIS name and not of any other prophet. all the others were same in status like Hazrat Moosa and Hazrat Isa.
Note: you must mention that all of them were humans and had no angelic powers, not even the Holy Prophet.

 

[Spidey21]

yeah i do know about that but the problem is that why cant we write it when we are wiritng the account of prophets that HE is kept in high regard in islam......... can we??

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

as he is the seal of Prophets so he has high regards for Muslims who follow his teachings (SUNNAT)

 

[izzahzainab]

yes you can, by specifying with examples. ".....All prophets have been regarded of equal states, but the Holy Prophet holds a special place as he has been declared as the seal of the prophets. He completed Islam"

 

[SalmanPakRocks]

Actually when he was in Syria when he was 12 years old with his uncle, a christan monk named Bahria recongnized the signs of a messenger in him and told his uncle not to take him far out in Syria as the Jews might harm him !!

 

[izzahzainab]

exactly! so it will come before his turning to trade. but i actually messed up my paper as i forgot to write the events of Hajr-e-aswad and Al-sadiq , Al-Amin. i wrote them "after" finishing my answer!

 

[ashiqbal]

Hope we all mess up our paper like that. LOL

 

[Spidey21]
