Islamiyat Paper 2 Revision and Queries

[Fallen316]

I believe that jihad is too controversial a topic to be given in exams. it has been once removed from syllabus even. so i think it can never come.

yup. it is being expected since , i dont know , maybe 2009 but it never came .

 

[Fallen316]

What are the stages that led to the compilation of sihah sittah? is same as this question How the hadith were compiled? right?

right , write uptil the compilation of 6 books, not about the 6 books themselves

 

[Suchal Riaz]

right , write uptil the compilation of 6 books, not about the 6 books themselves

examiners say "more able candidates would write briefly about 6 books as well" on CIE's teachers support forum.

 

[Altamashh]

any posibl qs from prayer??

preparations for a prayer, and friday prayers!

 

[Suchal Riaz]

so u mean v will have to start from the life of Holy Prophet pbuh, thn companions tht tabayeen thn taba tabayeen. right>

yes. but in lifetime of HP, u have to write about compilation of hadith. like first tell that he told himself to preserve hadiths when he said to use right hand to write the hadiths. he told "preach what he hear me say".
Abu Hurairah lived with HP to memorise hadiths. some companions(read from FNM book) even wrote hadiths.

Possible Question:
This question is being discussed from previous 3 years that it would come(in the CIE's teacher support forum). Question of this main point of syllabus has never come so there is possibility. don't rely on 2009 past paper as CIE can trick us.

Describe the stages that led to the compilation of Sahaye-Sita(10)
answering points:

• during HP's life time
• Period of Companions
• successors of Companions
• Successors of Successor(in this Shaye-Sata werre compiled so this should be more descriptive

each point should concentrate more on the names and the compilers of hadiths in each period. write briefly Why necessity of hadiths was felt(Quran was insufficient forr changing day to day problems, expansions etc)

to ensure 10/10 describe why: necessity of authentic hadiths was felt. which method was chalked out by the Muhadithin(those of matan and sanad for cheking authenticity). mention every sahaye-sita and it's main characteristics very very briefly
so the answer must be concise but have more detail such as name of books and compilers. evaluation is necessary for scoring level 4(read specimen answers) even in knowledge based questions.

This question is different from this one right?
Give a brief description of the stages that led to the collection of Ahadith in Shah Sitta [10]

[Suchal Riaz]

ya, tht Holy Prophet pbuh pnce forbade compilation as he feared that muslims might mix it with quranic text but later allowed. etc etc etc. buh wht EXACTLY do v have to write in the end?

tell that:
____**all the above answer**________ ...these were the stages that led to last stage in which 6 books were compiled...in the last stage(of successors of successors), false hadiths were also being circulated. Muhammad Ibn Ismail (bukhari) first had the idea of compiling only authentic hadiths. It was necessary that only authentic hadiths are accepted my muslims so that their is no conflict in muslims and for solidarity of islam. So he chalked out a method of finding authentic hadiths by checking the chain of narrators and text. so he comiled 7000 hadiths into 97 books. this method was used my Imam Muslim also who compiled 15000 authentic hadiths into "Sahi Muslim". in this stage, Abuu Daud also searched for authentic hadiths and compiled ____ hadiths. this collection was further improved by his pupil who published his book, jami. Ibn-maja and Imam Nasai also compiled their sunan work. So in this last stage, 6 sound books were complied.

I don't get how to answer Q2 on communal life and individual conduct of Muslims from Hadis set for special study. Anyone of help?

can you please wait till evening. i will post complete answers of these tonight. please wait.

 

[Suchal Riaz]

its simple. write a paragraph on importance of communal life in islam. dnt mention ahadis or quranic verses here. wtie: islam has laid gr8 emphasis on rightly leading a communal life. effort of every individual is necessary for maintaining a society that is in line with islamic principles etc etc etc. thn write dwn 3-5 ahadis from the syllabus about communal life and explain there teachings briefly. but 1 by 1

don't mind but according to mark scheme this would score no more than level 3. so please wait till evening then i would post complete answers on communal and individual life.

 

[xSabax]

Suchal Riaz, I want to ask certain questions:
Regarding the expansion of Hazrat Umar (R.A) can I write the main battles briefly and other insignificant battles in no more than 5 lines including the date, outcome and the territories gained as a result? If a question comes on the main events of his caliphate, we have to mention like almost all of the battles and administration too?

Write only those battles which are important and by them more territories were gained. (except battle of jasr/bridge). write date(i.e 633), name of battle, commander of both sides, number of armies. who won. which areas were gained. read Dr. Mustafa book, and believe me it is enough for caliphs. no need of details in other books. it is all what we want.

Thanks a bunch for your help! : ) I am referring to Yasmin Malik and FNM's book. Can you mention the correct dates of the battles fought during the reign of Hazrat Umar (R.A) and quote the number of traditions of each of the six books of hadith from Dr. Mustafa's book? I don't have it as of now :\ and I don't have much time left to buy a new book so I hope you don't mind mentioning those here. ^^

 

[xSabax]

for topics like dry ablution, timings of prayer etc and ofcourse other such topics in all the pillars, are there any questions to prepare for?? i mean what to learn from these minor topics and where to use their information

I have never seen such questions on Tayamum, delayed prayers etc but maybe they can come as part B so all you can do is to better prepare these minor topics to be on a safer side. You can write about dry ablution too if the question ask you about the preparations before offering prayers. Don't forget to learn congregation/friday prayers as it has previously came. Timings of prayer can be mentioned in a question asking you about the method of the prayer because according to the prescribed time you will say your prayers. Dua/invocation can be mentioned in this question. Speaking of other pillars of Islam you need to learn the rate of Zakat, to whom it should be paid as you can mention these in a question asking about how almsgiving is carried out. Riba/usury is also important. For Hajj, you should know the whole method as well as the difference between Hajj and Umrah. In fasting, you should know the major observances like Tarawih prayers, Itikaf and obviously the method and the conditions of Saum.
