Jihād against carnal self is a

minor jihād

major jihād

compulsory jihād

desirable jihād

Answer Details

Jihad against the carnal self refers to the internal struggle that every individual goes through to resist their base desires and inclinations in order to do what is right and pleasing to God. It is considered to be a major jihad because it is an ongoing struggle that requires constant effort and self-discipline. The term "carnal self" refers to one's own ego and selfish desires that can lead a person away from the path of righteousness. Therefore, the struggle to control and overcome these desires is an important aspect of Islamic spirituality and ethics. While the term "minor jihad" is used to refer to physical struggle, such as in self-defense or in defense of the faith, the struggle against the carnal self is considered to be a major and essential aspect of the overall concept of jihad in Islam.

Mutilation which is stipulated in Q. 5:38 for theft is described as

an exemplary punishment

a retaliatory sanction

a punitive measure

an incontrovertible disgrace.

Answer Details

In Q. 5:38, mutilation is prescribed as a punishment for theft. Mutilation involves the cutting off of a person's hand, which is an extreme form of physical punishment that serves as a deterrent to others who may consider committing the same crime. This punishment is seen as exemplary in nature because it aims to set an example and discourage others from engaging in similar actions, rather than seeking to retaliate against the offender. It is also considered a punitive measure because it is intended to punish the offender for their crime. Additionally, the punishment of mutilation is seen as an incontrovertible disgrace, as the physical disfigurement resulting from the punishment would mark the offender for life and serve as a constant reminder of their crime.

Answer Details

The basic theme of Surah Al-Zil Zal is the events that will take place on the Day of Judgment.

The Surah describes the earth shaking and the mountains crumbling, as well as the souls being separated from their bodies and the book of deeds being opened for judgment. The Surah emphasizes the importance of doing good deeds and warns of the consequences for those who reject the truth and fail to live according to God's commandments. Overall, the Surah is a powerful reminder of the ultimate reality of the Day of Judgment and the need for all individuals to prepare for it by leading a righteous life and seeking forgiveness for their sins. It emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions in this life and seeking the mercy and forgiveness of Allah before it is too late.

Question 10 Report

The forbidden types of food listed in s?rah 2:173 include carrion, blood, swine flesh and that which is

dedicated to other gods

killed through beating

killed by goring

devoured by wild beasts.

Answer Details

In the Quranic verse 2:173, it is mentioned that certain types of food are forbidden for Muslims to consume. These include carrion (the flesh of a dead animal), blood, swine flesh, and any food that has been dedicated to other gods. The reason behind the prohibition of these foods is to promote cleanliness and purity, both in physical and spiritual aspects. Carrion and blood are considered impure and unclean, and can lead to the spread of disease if consumed. Swine flesh is also considered impure and can carry harmful bacteria and parasites. Food dedicated to other gods is forbidden as it goes against the monotheistic beliefs of Islam. It is important to note that the list of forbidden foods is not limited to the ones mentioned in this verse, but includes other types of foods as well. For example, Muslims are also prohibited from consuming any animal that has been killed by beating, goring or by being devoured by wild beasts, as these methods of killing are considered cruel and inhumane.

The Prophet (S.A.W) enjoins that if anyone sees an abomination, the least thing to do is to hate it in his heart. The statement implies that when an individual comes across an evil act, the least one could do is to express hatred towards it inwardly, i.e., in their hearts. However, in situations where one has the power to prevent the abomination or correct it, the Prophet advises the individual to take action and change it with their hands, and if they are unable to do so, they should speak out against it and condemn it in public.

homosexuality

celibacy

Answer Details

The statement "here are my daughters: they are purer for you" was made by Prophet Lut to discourage homosexuality. This incident is mentioned in the Quran when Prophet Lut's community, the people of Sodom and Gomorrah, were known for engaging in homosexuality and other immoral acts. When two angels visited Prophet Lut in the form of men, the men of the city demanded that he turn them over so they could have sexual relations with them. Prophet Lut, being a prophet of God, refused to comply with their demands and offered his daughters to them as a means of discouraging their immoral behavior. He hoped that by offering them an alternative, they would refrain from their homosexual desires. Therefore, the statement "here are my daughters: they are purer for you" was a means of discouraging homosexuality and promoting moral behavior.

Fard and Harām in the scope of sharī'ah mean

Answer Details

In the scope of Sharī'ah, Fard and Harām are terms that denote actions that are obligatory and prohibited, respectively. Fard refers to actions that are compulsory and mandatory for a Muslim to perform, and they are considered as one of the pillars of Islam. On the other hand, Harām refers to actions that are prohibited and sinful in Islam, and they are strictly forbidden by Allah. Therefore, Fard and Harām are not similar to tolerable or abominable, permissible or punishable, or even compulsory and disliked. They represent the absolute obligation and prohibition of certain actions in the Islamic faith, which are necessary to follow in order to attain righteousness and closeness to Allah.

One of the most outstanding developments after the Hijrah was the

emergence of a new religion

increase in hostilities against the Muslims

emergence of the Muslim ‘Ummah

increase in cooperation with the Jews

Answer Details

After Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) migrated from Mecca to Medina, also known as the Hijrah, one of the most significant developments was the emergence of the Muslim Ummah. The Ummah refers to the Muslim community as a whole, which was united under the guidance of the Prophet (PBUH) and lived together in Medina. Before the Hijrah, Muslims were a small, persecuted minority in Mecca. However, after the Prophet (PBUH) migrated to Medina, he was able to establish a strong and united Muslim community that included both the migrants from Mecca and the locals of Medina. This community worked together to build a new society based on the principles of Islam, such as justice, compassion, and brotherhood. The emergence of the Muslim Ummah was a crucial step towards the spread of Islam, as it allowed the Muslims to establish a strong and stable base from which they could propagate their message. It also helped the Muslims to resist the hostility and persecution they faced from their enemies. The Ummah became a powerful force that played a significant role in the development and spread of Islam in the Arabian Peninsula and beyond.

Question 23 Report

Labour crises could be resolved if employers of labour adhere to the Prophet’s advice which says

pay the labourer before his sweat dry

it is better to cut firewood and sell than to beg

Muslims should abstain from idleness

the honour of a Muslim should not be violated.

Answer Details

The Prophet's advice that can help resolve labor crises is to "pay the laborer before his sweat dries." This means that employers should pay their workers promptly and fairly for the work they have done. By doing so, it can improve the relationship between employers and employees, and also motivate the workers to do their best in their jobs. This advice promotes fairness and respect for workers' rights, which is essential in maintaining a healthy and productive work environment. When workers are treated with respect and fairness, they are more likely to be loyal, productive, and committed to their jobs. Therefore, employers who adhere to this advice can create a better working environment that benefits both the workers and the employers. Ultimately, this can lead to the resolution of labor crises, and the creation of a more peaceful and harmonious society.

Answer Details

The first man on earth, Adam (A.S.), was exalted above other creatures because of his obedience to Allah's commands. According to Islamic tradition, Allah created Adam (A.S.) as the first human being and bestowed upon him the gift of free will. Allah commanded Adam (A.S.) not to eat from a specific tree in the Garden of Eden, but he was tempted by Satan and disobeyed Allah's command. As a result, Adam (A.S.) and his wife were banished from the Garden, but Allah forgave them when they repented. Adam (A.S.) is considered a prophet in Islam and is revered for his steadfastness in the face of temptation and his willingness to accept Allah's guidance. Muslims believe that Adam (A.S.) was also given knowledge and insight by Allah, but it was his obedience to Allah's commands that truly set him apart from other creatures. Therefore, it was Adam's (A.S.) obedience to Allah's commands that exalted him above other creatures, even though he was also given knowledge and insight by Allah.

This includes treating people equally and giving them their due rights. Thus, the verse emphasizes the importance of fulfilling our obligations and being just in our dealings with others, which are essential virtues in Islam.

The prophet who assisted Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) in the reconstruction of the Ka'abah was his son, Ismail (A.S.). The Ka'abah was originally built by the Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and his son Ismail (A.S.) in the city of Mecca as a house of worship for monotheistic believers. Over time, the Ka'abah fell into disrepair and was damaged by floods. It was then that Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and his son Ismail (A.S.) were instructed by Allah to rebuild the Ka'abah. According to Islamic tradition, Prophet Ismail (A.S.) helped his father in the reconstruction of the Ka'abah, using the stones that were provided by Allah. Together, Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) and Prophet Ismail (A.S.) rebuilt the Ka'abah as a place of worship for Muslims to come and perform their obligatory prayers. The Ka'abah remains a central point of focus for Muslims around the world, who face it during their prayers and who aspire to make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetimes. Therefore, it was Prophet Ismail (A.S.), the son of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.), who assisted his father in the reconstruction of the Ka'abah.

The principle of Tawhīd in Islam means the oneness of God, where God is considered as the one and only deity worthy of worship. Sūrah 79:24 in the Quran indicates that Pharaoh's action was incompatible with this principle because he equated himself with God. In other words, he considered himself as a deity and demanded people to worship him, which is a direct violation of Tawhīd. Therefore, "equated himself with ‘Allāh," is the correct answer.

Answer Details

The Muslim soldier who introduced Islam into Tripoli was 'Uqbah b. Nafi. He was a Muslim general and companion of the Prophet Muhammad who played a crucial role in the early Muslim conquests. 'Uqbah b. Nafi was sent to North Africa by the Muslim caliph, Uthman, in the 7th century, with the aim of spreading Islam in the region. 'Uqbah b. Nafi arrived in what is now Tunisia and quickly conquered several cities, including Carthage, which was a major center of Christianity at the time. He then proceeded further westward and reached the region that is now Tripoli, which was a predominantly Berber region. 'Uqbah b. Nafi is said to have introduced Islam to Tripoli by building a mosque in the city and establishing a Muslim community there. This marked the beginning of the spread of Islam in the region, which eventually became predominantly Muslim. Thus, 'Uqbah b. Nafi, a Muslim general and companion of the Prophet Muhammad, played a pivotal role in the spread of Islam in North Africa, including Tripoli.

Abū Bakr as Siddīq

‘Umar b. al-Khattāb

‘Uthmān b. ‘Affān

‘Ali b. ’ Abī Tālib.

Answer Details

The system of Bayt al-Māl was introduced by the second Caliph of Islam, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him). Bayt al-Mal is the treasury of the Islamic state where money, land, and other valuable items are collected for the betterment of the community. After the death of the first caliph, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) became the caliph and established the system of Bayt al-Mal to manage the financial affairs of the Muslim community. The Bayt al-Mal system was intended to ensure the equitable distribution of resources among Muslims, particularly the poor and needy.

Answer Details

Question 39 Report

One of the factors which helped the spread of Islam in West Africa was

the building of a mosque in Timbuktu

the establishment of many schools

effective trade relationship

the existence of clans and kingdoms.

Answer Details

One of the factors which helped the spread of Islam in West Africa was the effective trade relationships that existed in the region. Islamic traders from North Africa traveled southward into West Africa for trade purposes, and this provided a platform for the spread of Islam. Islam was introduced to West Africa as early as the 8th century, but it was the traders who played a crucial role in its expansion. These traders not only engaged in trade but also shared their Islamic faith with the people they encountered. They would establish Islamic schools and places of worship, and this contributed to the spread of Islam in the region. The success of the trans-Saharan trade network also helped in the spread of Islam. The trade routes helped to connect different regions and people, facilitating the exchange of ideas, goods, and culture. As Islam became an important part of the culture of the traders, it became easier for them to spread the religion to the West Africans they encountered during their travels. Therefore, the effective trade relationship that existed in the region provided a conduit for the spread of Islam, and this contributed to the religion's widespread adoption in West Africa.

The Jahiliyyah practice that was gradually phased out is

gambling

adultery

usury

alcoholism.

Answer Details

The Jahiliyyah practice that was gradually phased out is alcoholism. Jahiliyyah refers to the pre-Islamic era in Arabia, characterized by ignorance and unbelief in God. Alcohol consumption was widespread during that time, and it was considered a normal social activity. However, after the revelation of Islam, the consumption of alcohol was gradually phased out and eventually prohibited altogether. Muslims believe that alcohol consumption has harmful effects on individuals and society, leading to addiction, health problems, and social issues such as violence and family problems. Therefore, Muslims are forbidden from consuming or dealing with alcohol in any way.

Zakatul-fitr is not permissible on

rice

kolanut

Answer Details

Zakatul-fitr is a compulsory charitable donation that Muslims give at the end of Ramadan. The donation is meant to provide food for those in need during the festival of Eid al-Fitr. In terms of the options provided, it is important to note that Zakatul-fitr cannot be given in the form of kolanut, as kolanut is not considered a food staple in most Muslim communities. On the other hand, rice, maize, and millet are all acceptable forms of Zakatul-fitr as they are considered food staples in many Muslim communities. However, it is important to ensure that the chosen food staple is something that is commonly eaten in the community and is readily available to those in need.

Question 46 Report

In sūrah al-Qāri’ah, mankind is compared to

scattered moths

laden camels

pampered creatures

humiliated beasts.

Answer Details

In Surah Al-Qariah, mankind is compared to "scattered moths". The verse describes the Day of Judgment, when people will face the consequences of their actions in this life. The scattered moths in this verse represent the scattered and disoriented state of human beings on that day, who will be like moths flying aimlessly in all directions. Just as moths are attracted to light but are easily scattered and confused by it, humans are also attracted to various things in life but can easily lose their way and become disoriented. The comparison of human beings to scattered moths serves as a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of this life and the importance of living with purpose and intention. The verse also emphasizes the need for humility and surrender to Allah's will on the Day of Judgment.
