*bump*

Where did you get the these Qs?? I, too don`t able to answered these!

 

[sadiaali]

Like my teacher says that in the beginning of part b) we write a paragraph of one statement that says for example"there were many reasons for the fall of the mughal empire after Aurangzeb's death" and then we start our answer which in the first paragraph we write Firstly,.....................
then in para 2
Secondly,........................................................
and para 3
Thirdly,.................................................................
I never get higher than 5/7 in this part with this teacher

she says to do the same in part c) but with a slightly longer beginning statement and for us to explain ALL the reasons like for example the reasons for bangladesh's creation we have to write ALL the economic factors in one para then ALL the political factors in one para then All the geographical,social and cultural factors in one para and finally ALL the external factors(like mukhti bahini etc)
I never get higher than 12/14 in this part with this teacher

If we miss any point then our marks will get seriously cut. I have never gotten more than 20/25 in any question with this teacher while last year i used to get 25/25! I am so confused and scared. C.I.E exams are almost here and my confidence level has gone to zero.

Very helpful tips by you.
But we have to make evaluation at the end of the question, the reason for your agreement with the statement or disagreement. You must have to explain the reason why it is so or not.
`Also describes the success and failure in the question`
Don`t write the long introductory paragraph.

Q2. Describe the conduct/role of Prophet (PBUH) in any two treaties [10]
For this question write about any two treaties that the Holy prophet SAW signed like the treaty of Hudabiya that the Holy Prophet was always true to his words and did what he said, that he was patient.. ie when a persecuted muslim came to the Holy Prophet SAW for help after he had signed it, He told him to go back as the terms stated that if any Muslim escaped from makkah , he had to be sent back... and the same with any other treaty like the treaty with the jews on reaching madinah and what happened afterwards ....

 

[sadiaali]

The 2011 onward past paper question are very tricky,let discussed some of them!

 

[aTraveller]

Q1. Describe the role of Ansar and Muhajireen in the development of Islam [10]

I'm not sure about the complete answer but I guess this questions requires points like because of it, the Muslims now should help each other and look at the example they have set, if it weren't for them, no one would help each other in bad times and there would be no unity amongst the Muslims and Islam wouldn't have a firm base..

The holy quran could not be compiled during the time of the holy prophet as he was still receiving revelation, so after his death when in the battle of yamama 700 hafiz e quran died,hazrat umar suggested to hazrat abu bakr that the quran should be compiled in to a book form, he said that he could not do some thing that the holy prophet did not do but after hazrat umar explained that if he did not do so, the quran would be lost as the hafiz e quran would either be martyred or die of natural death, so hazrat abu bakr appointed hazrat zaid to compile the quran, he told him that if he had asked him to carry a mountain on his shoulders it would have been more easy for him to do, but he accepted it and gathered all the verses that had been written on date palm leaves etc, he , even though was himself a hafiz e quran, asked others and compiled the verses into a book form

Excellent! Thank yew!

 

[aTraveller]

I should be the one thanking you, because of your question I just revised almost half of the compilation of quran part ^.^
and DO NOT add the compitaltion during the time of hazrat usman, the question requires only till when the quran was in a book form...

Got it.

 

[aTraveller]

Got it.

Hey sorry, the compilation of hazrat zaid was changed into a book form during the time of hazrat usman as the mark scheme says:

The collected parts stayed in the possession of Abu Bakr. When he died, ‘Umar had them
and after his death, they remained with Umar’s daughter, Hafsah. It was this collection that
was used by the Caliph ‘Uthman to compile them into one book which was sent around the
various parts of the expanding Muslim world. Candidates should relate this story with details
of what happened during ‘Uthman’s time for him to order the distribution of the Qur’an.

You do need to write about the compilation during hazrat usman's time

How can i not take tension???? she gave me 10/25 in a recent test and in the first test of the year she gave me 11/25. It was only in the test before my mid years that i got 20/25 then she gave me 52/75 in my mid years!!!!! And the reason i got such bad marks in this one is that i didn't write introductions in the b) part question.....yes i did not understand the c) part and wrote crap in it but i didn't do anything wrong in the a) or b) part. If i ask her she will say that i missed relevant points.

If u get such low marks then u must be lacking something something in your answers. If she deduct marks for not writing introductions in part B then she is wrong because there are no marks for these crappy introductions
Just start directly with " One of the reasons for this is................" ; " Secondly.............." ; Thirdly..............

And yeah , part (c) is a rather part of of paper cz its analytical and no cramming work here . Just explain 5-7 factors in 7 paragraphs?( no restriction) and There should be NO DESCRIPTION IN THIS QUESTION other wise u will lose marks
