trace the expansion of the muslim empire under Hazrat Umar's Caliph (10)

We can't write about all the battle fought during his time. so then what should we write??
the markschemes way of doing is to: first write why it was imp to fight with persians or others, than battle with name or date, (very) briefly describe battle and the real things name the areas which became part of muslim empire by winning each battle. the question does not require all battle but only those which helped muslims conquer more areas. do it like this and u can get 10/10 with less words. otherwise describing all battles and not telling why they fought and which areas conquered the answer would be longer but would earn u not more than 7 marks.
hope it helps. (y)

well in main events, u must write all imp events not just battles fought.
for example(not of particular caliph just example): compilation of quran + wars with persians and conquest + war with romans and areas conquered + other main events such as building of dams and inns making first fleet to fight.
for example u have 3 main events plus 4 less imp events, then make each paragraph with approx 70-80 words and in first three write 3 main events and in last paragraph less imp events.
remember, evaluation is necessary. if u write about wars with persians, atleast write in one or two lines why it was imp to fight with them.
try putting as much detail in less space as possible. narration of battles is not necessary but names, dates(less they are:p), numbers are more imp.
questions regarding caliphs should be attempted in atleast 300 words but with all details and all imp details. such as answer can get 10/10 very easily. please read mark schemes and examiner reports as well as specimen answers. they would help u get full marks without wasting ur precious exam time and lines.

ppl for urdu as a second language i need tips for the translation....... pls help

Don't do word to word translation try translating it one sentence at a time. And be careful about the tenses, if the passage is in past tense then you HAVE TO write in past tense.
