Why did the Quraysh feel they needed to reject the Prophet’s message? [4]
u need a grip on the Prophets Biography for this one :
(a) Describe two events from the life of the Prophet that illustrate the way he treated non-
Muslims. [10]
(b) How can these examples help Muslims today in their relationships with non-Muslims?

What does the Prophet’s first experience of revelation tell us about the nature of prophethood
in Islam? [4]
-It tells us that all Prophets are mortal, being human in nature and conduct.
-The chosen people are righteous, pious, etc
-more?

Some events are:
• the story of the prophet going to Al-Ta’if; how they reacted to his message and how the
prophet reacted to them. (HIS REPLY TO ANGEL JIBRAEL; THE DUA HE MADE THAT TAIF WOULD BE A PART OF MUSLIM UMMAH)
• the conquest of Makka; his treatment of his non-Muslim enemies (GENERAL AMNESTY, NO HOUSE LOOTED, NO WOMAN DISHONOURED, BLOODLESS)
• his relationship with non-Muslims when they migrated to Madina; how he made treaties
with the Jewish tribes and his interaction with them.(CHARTER OF MADINA)

explain any two which you have a good knowledge about! the text is marking scheme, the capital letters are small hints from me!:)

marking scheme says:
Why do some legal scholars reject the use of analogy (qiyas)? [4]
Excellent answers here will be able to give a sound analysis of the use of analogy (qiyas)
with possible, but clear, examples to illustrate the point. Examples should be about analogy
and not confused with any of the other sources of law.
Candidates could mention that it is a source used when others do not offer guidance, and
compares an existing accepted situation with a new one. There is more individual thought
that goes into the decisions than with primary sources.
Better answers will mention why it’s rejected by some scholars, due to the varying and
conflicting answers that can be given.

examiner report says:
There were some good answers to this question, but generally answers were vague. The best
answers offered reasons about the weakness of qiyas as a general source of law, explaining that it
was due to the fact that the personal opinion of an individual may be subject to error, and why
some scholars preferred the alternative ijma or the Shi’a preference of using ‘aql.
However, many answers had a general comment on qiyas not being liked because it is based on
individual reasoning, and there were a significant number of candidates who tried to argue that
qiyas is not needed in Islamic legal thinking, so instead of trying to answer why some scholars
reject qiyas they made a general statement about it not being reliable and so rejected by all
scholars.

aand,:) my notes say:
''Qiyas is the Fourth source of law, subordinate and subsidiary to the Quran, Hadith and Ijma. It is a principle of extension of islamic law on the basis of a likeness in two situations, one of which is explained in the primary sources, which it can not contradict.Qiyas must be applied only when there is no solution in the earlier sources.
An example of Qiyas: Drugs like opium or cocaine were not known during the time of the Prophet, so they have not been mentioned explicitly as prohibited. However a Hadith (primary source!) is : '' Every intoxicant is Khamr, so every intoxicant is Haraam.'' Thus, since it is known that these drugs are highly intoxicating, these are also Haram.
However, some scholars reject the concept of Qiyas on the basis of the Ayah: ''..And We have sent down to thee a Book explaining all things..'' (16:89).
Their opinion is that there is too much personal opinion involved in Qiyas, thus resulting contradicting ideas of different people. These various opinions are not considered binding and authoritative by many Sunni scholars, and Shia scholars reject Qiyas in favour of their use of Aql.''

pheww.. hope it makes sense, and helps you out!:)
