An aspect of the Nigerian culture which may be regarded as shirk is

excessive spending at burial ceremonies

worship of ancestors Correct answer

signing and dancing in public

ceremonies involving social interaction between boys and girls

Answer Details

The aspect of Nigerian culture that may be regarded as shirk is the worship of ancestors. This is because the act of worshipping or seeking help from ancestors is considered a form of polytheism, which goes against the Islamic belief in one God (Allah) and his exclusive right to be worshipped. It is important to note, however, that not all Nigerians practice ancestor worship, as the country is home to many diverse cultures and religions.

In Islamic law on divorce, the custody of a child aged two years or less is normally conceded to the

father

mother Correct answer

aunt

grandmother

Answer Details

In Islamic law on divorce, the custody of a child aged two years or less is normally given to the mother. This is because Islamic law recognizes the special bond between a mother and her young child, and believes that the child's best interests are served by being in the care of their mother during this critical stage of development. However, after the child reaches the age of two, custody may be transferred to the father or another family member if it is deemed to be in the child's best interests. Ultimately, the decision about custody is based on what is best for the child's well-being and development, and is made on a case-by-case basis according to Islamic law.

emphasizes a part of the content Correct answer

proves that any other prophet could take the place of Muhammed (S.A.W)

Answer Details

The verse quoted above (Q.18:110) is related to the Kalimat sh-shahādah, which is the declaration of faith in Islam. The verse emphasizes that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a human being like any other person, but he was blessed with divine inspiration. This means that he received guidance from Allah, which enabled him to deliver the message of Islam to people. The verse serves as a reminder that although Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a great messenger of Allah, he was not divine and should not be worshiped. Instead, Muslims should only worship Allah. This is an important aspect of the Kalimat sh-shahādah, which affirms the oneness of Allah and the prophethood of Muhammad. In summary, the verse quoted above (Q.18:110) emphasizes that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a human being who received divine inspiration, and it serves as a reminder that Muslims should only worship Allah. It does not trace the origin of the expression, prove that any other prophet could take the place of Muhammad, or provide a summary of the content.

Question 22 Report

Fortune telling is un-Islamic

only when it is done by non-Muslims

when Islamic scriptures are not used for it

only in matters relating to religious practices.

at all times and in all matters. Correct answer

Answer Details

In Islam, fortune telling is considered un-Islamic at all times and in all matters. This is because it involves claiming knowledge of the unseen, which is only known to Allah, the All-Knowing. It is also considered a form of shirk (associating partners with Allah) because it implies that the fortune-teller has knowledge and power that only Allah possesses. Therefore, it is not permissible to engage in fortune-telling, regardless of whether it is done by Muslims or non-Muslims, and regardless of whether it is related to religious practices or other matters. Islamic scriptures strongly forbid fortune telling, and Muslims are encouraged to seek knowledge and guidance from Allah through prayer, Quran, and seeking knowledge from trustworthy sources.

In the Islamic economic system, baytuk māl is equivalent to the

commercial bank

public treasury Correct answer

common market

community bank

Answer Details

In the Islamic economic system, baytuk māl is equivalent to the public treasury. Baytuk māl refers to a central pool of resources that is managed by the Islamic state. This pool of resources includes money, property, and other assets that belong to the community as a whole. The purpose of the baytuk māl is to ensure that everyone in the community has access to basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. Unlike a commercial bank or community bank, which are privately owned and operated for profit, the baytuk māl is a public institution that is managed by the government. It is similar to a common market in that it serves the needs of the community as a whole, but it is specifically focused on managing and distributing resources rather than facilitating trade.

‘Alī b. Abī Tālib

Muhammad b. ‘Abdullāh Correct answer

Answer Details

The earliest contact of Islam with Africa dates back to the period of Muhammad b. ‘Abdullāh, the founder and prophet of Islam. This contact occurred in the early 7th century AD when a group of Muslims fled persecution in Mecca and sought refuge in Abyssinia (present-day Ethiopia). The Abyssinian king at the time, known as Negus, provided protection to the Muslim refugees, which marked the first official contact between Islam and Africa. This event is known as the First Hijra, or migration, and is significant in Islamic history as it showed that Islam was not limited to any particular race or nationality, but rather was a universal religion that could appeal to people of all backgrounds.

Lūt Correct answer

Answer Details

The prophet whose wife was impious and suffered the same calamity as the unbelievers was Lut (Lot in English). According to Islamic and biblical accounts, Lut was sent by God to warn his people about their wickedness and urge them to repent. However, they refused to listen and persisted in their immoral behavior, including homosexuality. God eventually sent angels to Lut to rescue him and his family before destroying the city. Lut's wife, however, disobeyed the angels' command not to look back and was consequently punished along with the unbelievers. This story serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of following God's commands.

The pre-Islamic practice of shigār that was abolished by Islam refers to the exchange of sisters in wedlock. This means that a man would give his sister to another man in exchange for the other man's sister to marry.

Answer Details

The practice of comparing the back of one's wife to that of one's mother as a method of divorce is known as "zihār". In ancient Arabic culture, zihār was a way for husbands to divorce their wives without having to give a reason or pay compensation. The husband would compare his wife's back to that of his mother and say "you are to me like the back of my mother", which was considered a highly disrespectful and taboo statement. This statement effectively ended the marriage and the wife would have to leave her husband's home. Zihār was abolished in Islam with the revelation of the Quran, which provided guidelines for divorce and encouraged kind treatment of spouses.

Shaking hands while greeting Correct answer

Answer Details

Acquisition of knowledge is considered Mubāℎ in Islam. Mubāℎ means permissible or allowed in Islam. Islam encourages seeking knowledge and considers it as an important act of worship. It is the duty of every Muslim, both men and women, to seek knowledge throughout their lives. Smoking, on the other hand, is considered Ḥarām (forbidden) in Islam because it harms the body, which is considered a trust from God. Salāt ash-Shaf, which is an additional prayer that can be performed after the obligatory prayers, is also Mubāℎ in Islam. Shaking hands while greeting is also Mubāℎ in Islam. It is a common practice among Muslims and is considered a polite and respectful way of greeting each other. In summary, acquiring knowledge, shaking hands while greeting, and Salāt ash-Shaf are all permissible and considered Mubāℎ in Islam, while smoking is considered Ḥarām.

The authenticity of a hadīth may be faulted if

it contradicts a Qur''ānic injuction Correct answer

Answer Details

The authenticity of a hadith, which is a saying or action attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, may be doubted if it contradicts a clear teaching of the Quran, which is the central holy book of Islam. Additionally, if the wording of the hadith is too similar to the Quranic text, it could also be questioned as to whether it is a genuine statement from the Prophet. Similarly, if the hadith is no longer than a verse of the Quran, it could be considered too brief and therefore potentially not authentic. Finally, the reliability of the narrator is also a factor, and if the person who transmitted the hadith was not from the city of Makkah, it may raise doubts about the accuracy of the hadith.
