The Main Theme(s)1. This is the opening Surah of the Quran and it covers
a variety of themes in its text2. It begins by introducing Allah and His Powers by
glorifying His praise, announcing that He sustainseverything, declaring His colossal mercy, and thebelief in Hereafter
3. It further highlights the two basic features ofTauheed.
4. Firstly, that the focus of all forms of worship shallonly be for Allah and Him alone. Secondly, that weshould only ask Allah for help
5. Failing these two would mean committing an
unforgiveable sin, Shirk.6. The Surah ends by teaching a Dua for guidance
from Allah of the straight path which is the path ofthe Prophets and all pious people.
7. It also asks us to invoke Him to protect us fromgoing astray.

a very distinctive manner from most other passagesof the Holy Quran because it in covers so manysubjects in just seven short sentences.

The Presentation of the Theme1. The distinctive theme of this passage is that it
encourages us to recognize Allah through Hisbounties.
2. The Quran says, No vision can grasp Him, but Hisgrasp is over all visions (Surah Al Anaam: 103).
3. As we cannot see Him, therefore it is through Hisbounties that we may recognize Allah and see HisHand in all matters
4. We are repeatedly reminded by the Quran toworship Allah alone and not to commit Shirk withHim, but in this particular passage it explains this by
reminding us of His unlimited bounties and blessingsthat He sends down upon us5. This appreciation and gratitude leads us to the path

The Main Theme(s) This is the last Surah of the Quran and is partner to
the preceding Surah (Al-Falaq) The Surah was revealed to cure the Prophet whena spell was cast on him
It also teaches us to seek protection of AllahAlmighty against the evil effects of the whisperingof Satan that are aimed at distracting man from
the Right Path This Surah focuses on three important themes of
man's relation with Allah:1. Allah alone is the sole Sustainer and Supreme
over all humans2. Therefore, He is only to be worshipped3. Allah is the One who can protect us from all evil,
may that be hidden or visible

8/12/2019 islamiyat studies - Notes1
36/349
The Presentation of the Theme The themes of this Surah, overall Lordship of
Allah and the seeking of His protection against all
evil, have been presented differently from othersimilar passages in the Quran. Firstly, the concept of whisperings has been
identified as a method used by both Jinn and Manto divert a believer from the Right Path.
Secondly, it declares Allah in three shortsentences the relationship that Allah has withMan, namely being their Sustainer, King and God.
In other similar passages, such as Surah Falaq,such reminders of God-Man relationship are not
used, rather the powers of Allah as the creator ofall good as well as evil are presented. It is as if Allah is reminding us that as He is our
Sustainer, King and God, it is He who shallprotect us from all evil.

And He taught Adam the names of all things; then Heplaced them before the angels, and said: 'Tell me thenames of these if you are right.' 32. They said: 'Gloryto You, of knowledge we have none, save what Youhave taught us: In truth it is You who are perfect inknowledge and wisdom.' 33. He said: 'Adam Tellthem their names.' When he had told them, Allahsaid: 'Did I not tell you that I know the secrets ofheavens and earth, and I know what you reveal andwhat you conceal?'34. And behold, We said to theangels: 'Bow down to Adam'. And they bowed down.Not so Iblis: he refused and was haughty: he was ofthose who reject faith. 35. We said: 'Adam You andyour wife dwell in the Garden; and eat of the bountifulthings in it as You wish. But do not approach this tree,or you will run into harm and transgression.' 36. ThenSatan made them slip from there, and got them out ofwhat they had been in. We said: 'Go down, withenmity between yourselves. On earth will be yourdwelling-place and your means of livelihood, for atime.' 37. Then Adam learnt from his Lord words ofinspiration, and his Lord turned towards him; for He isOften-returning, most Merciful

THE MAIN THEME S) These verses describe the divine scheme of
1. creation of Adam
2. prostration of angels before him3. defiance of Iblis
4. Adam's stay in and eventual exile from Paradise
5. Adam being forgiven by Allah after his disobedience
Iblis proved to be disobedient to Allah and was cursed forever We learn here that Allah puts all humans through test, including
His Messengers
Another teaching is that if a person accepts his mistake after
committing any wrong he can be forgiven The example of Adam can be cited who prayed to His Lord which is
mentioned in the Quran: Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves
and if you do not forgive us and have mercy upon us we will surely
be among losers.(7:23).

THE PRESENTATION OF THE THEME S) This passage explains the relationship of Allah with
the Prophet Adam.
The theme of this passage is that it relates ahistorical event so we learn lessons from it.
Adam was created by Allah and he was givenimportance over angles as Angels were asked to bowdown before him.
The verses also inform us the nature of Satan whorefused to bow down before Adam, due to pride
The passage thus makes it clear that Allahs support
always remains with the Prophets The distinctive manner of these verses is that they
are teaching the theme by giving the example of the1st Man and Prophet Adam, thus making it clear that
every human has certain built in traits.

THE MAIN THEME S) These verses describe Prophet Ibraheem's attempt torecognise Allah by way of some of the marvels of nature Ibraheem observed the rise and the setting in of stars, themoon and the sun in order to identify his Lord, the Creator
of all. He was convinced that the Lord Almighty is ever-living and isfree from any decline Finally, he reached his goal of realizing the Oneness andsupremacy of Allah Once he did that, he began to preach to his people aboutTawhid and tried to dissuade them from Shirk or associatingpartners with Allah.

THE PRESENTATION OF THE THEME Like other messengers of Allah, Ibraheem was also
nurtured spiritually for the formal awarding of Prophethood Unlike Musa who witnessed a Holy Fire (28:30) to receiveProphethood or Jesus who began to show prophetic signswhile in his cradle (5:110), Ibraheem reached the ultimategoal of prophethood after observation and being tested He firmly professed Tawhid Shunned shirk before starting his prophetic mission Allah thus strengthened the faith of His chosen servant byshowing him the contrast between the temporary shine ofthe creation and the eternal glow of the Creator The Creator Lord is the source of all light and brightness.

This verse describes Allah's address to Jesus,one of His messengers.
Like other prophetic messengers, Jesus wasalso granted certain prophetic signs thatdistinguished him from ordinary mortals. (suchas of his miraculous birth, his ability to speak in
infancy, treat the leper and the blind and givelife to the non-living, Torah and Gospel)
The objective of granting such unusual powersto Allah's chosen people is to strengthen them
internally and prepare them to face oppositionby their people
It also describes the fact that Allah protects Hismessengers from their enemies.

THE PRESENTATION OF THE THEME While showing His relationship with the Prophet
Jesus, Allah tells how Jesus was supported by Allah
(SWT) through Jibraeel, Ruhulqudus, and was givenmiracles.
These favors show how much Allah loved His
messenger The passage distinctly explains how Allah supports
his messengers.
Many other verses contain the same theme, but
this one is distinctive because here Allah reminds
His messenger face to face about His favours. In
other similar passages, such as those about
Ibraheem, Allah addresses us, not the Messenger

THE MAIN THEME S) Theme of this short Surah is Allah's promise and
reassurance for His chosen people (prophetic messengers)in times of hardship and opposition by their people
The main theme of Surah Al-Kauthar is to console theProphet (s.a.w.) and to give him reassurance that he is
unlimitedly blessed by Allah The teaching we get from this Surah is that there is no
room for any to disrespect of the Prophet.
He is taught that he should not abandon his religiousobligations in any of the situation but must submit to the
will of Allah.
In this passage, Allah condemns those who condemn theProphet (s.a.w).
THE PRESENTATION OF THE THEME
-
8/12/2019 islamiyat studies - Notes1
76/349
The Surah shows Allah's special care for theProphet in times of hardship.
Here, distinctively, Allah mentions that HE willdeal with the enemies of the Holy ProphetHimself.
Allah mentions such special support for His
messengers in other passages as well. Here the distinctive style is prominent that Allah
revealed these verses during the Holy Prophetslife and hence announced in his lifetime theprophecy of the destruction of his enemies.
Such a declaration is a consolation not only forthe Holy Prophet but all those involved in thepropagation of Islam.

Allah in Himself (Person) The Holy Quran describes and elaborates details
about the person of Allah. Usually certain symbolic expressions and parables
have been used for this purpose.
For example, Surah An Nur describes Allah as a'light',
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is
as if there were a Niche and within it a lamp: the Lamp enclosed in
Glass: the Glass as it were a brilliant star: lit from a blessed Tree, an
Olive, neither of the East nor of the West, whose Oil is well-nigh
luminous, though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah doth setforth Parables for men: and Allah doth know all things. (Nur : 35)

The Main Theme(s)1. The main theme of this passage, which we know as the
verse of the Throne, is the oneness of Allah, or Tawhid
2. Allah is a being unlike any other beings because he
knows everything and can do everything
3. Also He has neither parents nor children4. Similarly Surah Ikhlas also states that He cannot be
compared to anyone or anything
5. His throne signifies His absolute power over all as well
as His absolute knowledge of everything.
The Presentation of the Theme
-
8/12/2019 islamiyat studies - Notes1
98/349
1. This passage teaches us the powers of Allah,
which are limitless in all aspects, thus clearlymarking the differences between Him and Hiscreation.
2. This passage states all this in a authoritative tone,and declares its teachings in a distinctive manner.
3. It teaches multiple articles of faith and belief in veryfew words, thus making it a unique passage.
4. Other Quranic verses similarly teach such themesbut seldom in so few words and also they tend to attimes give logical reasoning along with their
teachings such as Surah Anam which gives a logicthat Allah cannot have a son as He has no wife
Surah Al Anaam 6: 101 to 103
-
8/12/2019 islamiyat studies - Notes1
99/349
101. To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and theearth: how can He have a son when He has no consort?
102. He created all things, and He has full knowledge of all things.
That is Allah, your Lord! There is no god but He, the Creator ofall things: then worship Him: and He has power to dispose of all
affairs.
103. No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all visions: He isabove all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things.

The Main Theme(s)1. The main theme of this passage is the unlimitedpower of Allah that proves Tauheed
2. It describes how He created all things includingthe heavens and the earth from scratch
3. The Arabic word Badee means He who creates
without any raw materials to start with4. It strongly refutes any concept of him being a
parent or husband when it is He who cannot evenbe seen by anyone
5. Another important aspect of the theme is fact the
His knowledge is absolute.6. These arguments establish Him as the sole being
to be worshipped.
Another Sample answer of the Theme1 The doctrine of Tawhid is based on Allah's power of
-
8/12/2019 islamiyat studies - Notes1
103/349
1. The doctrine of Tawhid is based on Allah s power ofcreating His domain out of nothing and by His singlecommand, Be (36:82) and that is the main theme
of this Surah: teaching Allahs Onesness byexplaining about His Person and Powers2. Exercise of this power explains Allah's immense
power and unlimited knowledge3. Demands us to demonstrate our belief by bowing
down before Him in all submission and worship like
the other creations: And the stars and the treesboth bow in adoration (Surah 55).4. This further negates any form of shirk (associating
partners with Allah), specially associating anyrelatives with Him.
5. Surah Ikhlas more emphatically and explicitly
refutes the corrupted idea of assuming descendantsof Allah
6. Such degree of uniqueness of Allah renders ourimagination just helpless to comprehend His entity.

1. The teachings of this passage are theOneness of Allah, His Powers as well as His
Person which is beyond humancomprehension.
2. These are taught here in a distinctive mannerthat uses common logic so people may
understand.3. It also explains how unlimited and absoluteHis Power of Creation and Knowledge are,thus making it a logical result that we shouldworship Him only.
4. This manner of explanation is distinct fromother passages as they usually only declareor order man to worship Him without givingany reason or logic.

1. The main theme of this passage is
Tauheed or oneness of Allah which is beingtaught by explaining His powers.
2. Throughout history, many people havebegun worshipping the sun and the moon
due to their beauty or power.3. The Quran says that these are just signs of
Allah, who is the Creator of all.
4. Similar themes are found in many places inthe Quran such as in Surah Rehman whereAllah states that He has absolute powerover all heavenly bodies.

8/12/2019 islamiyat studies - Notes1
109/349
The Presentation of the Theme
1. Tauheed, the theme of this passage ispresented through a distinctive manner ofgiving examples of His signs
2. Mankind should recognize the Designer of allthese and submit to His will.
3. This is distinctive from other verses such as inSurah Ikhlas where Allah states the theme ofTauheed but without explaining or using anyexample
4. This passage urges us not only identify HIMbut also to Worship Him.

1. The main theme in this passage is Tauheed ofAllah as everything is His property.
2. His greatness and supremacy is evident by the factthat the heavens are bent and on the brink offalling to pieces due to the weight of the angelsworshipping Him.
3. It is no wonder that countless angels arecontinuously engaged in glorifying the name ofAllah while seeking forgiveness for mankind.
4. Allah Himself has ordered them to do so as onlyHe Himself is full of forgiveness and mercy for His
creation.5. Thus He has also ordered humankind to glorify
Him and then ask for forgiveness as in many otherverses in the Holy Quran

stressing on His supreme majesty.
2. The angels not only to celebrate His praise, and
also pray for forgiveness for us because Allah
Himself has ordered them.
3. The greatness as well as mercy of Allah is
presented here distinctively here by first stating Hisbeing the owner and supreme Lord of everyone and
everything, yet His being kind and benevolent to His
creatures.

doesnt discuss His rank and status

Main Theme(s)1. This Surah is a comprehensive summary ofTauheed
2. The theme clearly asserts Him being the one andonly god, thus negating any parenthood or kinshipassigned to Him by anyone
3. It defines the very nature of Allah to be free fromthe phenomenon of birth as He is not in need ofanyone or anything
4. Allahs attribute AsSamad mentioned here
means He who doesnt need anyone rathereveryone is in need of Him
5. Also by saying that He is incomparable witheverything, this Surah negates all forms of Shirk.
The Presentation of the Theme
-
8/12/2019 islamiyat studies - Notes1
117/349
1. The Surah Ikhlas presents the theme of Tauheed in avery distinctive manner from most other passages of
the Holy Quran because it in covers so many aspectsof Tauheed in just four short sentences
2. It doesnt offer any sort of explanation or argument ascertain other passages, rather it simply makes astatement of fact by saying that Allah is One, Absoluteand incomparable to anyone or anything
3. For example, in Surah Al-Maeda, Allah specifies that itis disbelief to call Jesus the son of Allah
4. But here in Surah Al-Ikhlas, He simply declares that
He doesnt give birth at all5. Thus all false beliefs regarding any son or daughter of
Allah are shattered.

Note on Belief in Divine Decree (10 Marks)
Belief in the Divine Decree is an article of Faith. Without this, a believers
Imam or Faith is incomplete. As mentioned in Iman-e-Mufassal, whichsays: Ibelieve in Allah, in His angels, in His books, in His Prophets, in the
Last Day and in the fact that everything, good or bad, is decided by Allah
Almighty and in the Life after Death.
This means that the belief that everything, good or bad, is known
beforehand by Allah.Allah is the sole Creator and Cherisher of the entire Universe. His power
is not limited in any sphere whatsoever. The Quran says repeatedly,
Verily, Allah has power over everything., Verily, Allah is all Knowing,
All Powerful and He is the Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom.
As Allah is the Creator, Sustainer, All Powerful and All Knowing, not only
He has knowledge of each and every affair of the entire Universe but also
all the matters and phenomena are under His control as well as within His
Knowledge.
Man, the most supreme creation of Allah is no exception to this divine
Will. However, he is given a great deal of free will and will be tested how

Since the Holy Quran was not revealed all at once and itsdifferent verses were revealed as and when appropriate,so it was neither possible nor practicable from the very
beginning to write and preserve it in a book form.Before one can begin to understand the manner in which
it was preserved, the amazing memories ofthe Arab nation must be kept in mind. And of course, thefact that Allah Himself has said:
Verily, it is We Who have sent down this Message and it is We Who
shall guard it. (Surah Hijr; 15:9)

The Quran was revealed to the Holy Prophet through Jibril , who would makesure that he s learnt its verses by heart.
Once the Holy Prophet had memorized the verses, Jibril would tell him thatthese verses should be placed in so and so Surah in so and so order.
When the Holy Prophet had learnt the verses, he would then teach them to his
companions who would Learn them by heart (these Huffaz were 1000s)
The scribes of the Holy Prophet, would write the verses under his instructionon paper, stone tablets, bones, palm leaves, wooden boards or animal skins.(These companions were about 34).
Ardah Quran was preserved in partial volumes in writing, but primarily in the hearts
of tens of thousands of his companions.

Jibril.
3. Allah Himself protects it
4.It is the very basis of all thought and action in Islam5. All Islamic laws are either derived from it or based on it
6. Commandments of Quran are invariable andunchangeable for all times to come.

1. Because Allah willed it to be revealed as His Wisdom judged.2. The Quran explains: Those who reject Faith say: "Why is not the
Qur'an revealed to him all at once?" Thus (is it revealed) that Wemay strengthen your heart thereby and We have rehearsed it toyou in slow well-arranged stages gradually. (Surah Furqan;25:32-33).
3. It would be hard for the people if they would get all theinstructions together, because they would have to start actingon them at once
4. This way they found it easy to progressively follow Allahscommands as they were revealed step by step.
5. Many verses would be irrelevant if revealed before a certainstage. E.g., verses regarding Jihad would be irrelevant inMakkah, because Jihad would be allowed only once an Islamicstate had been formed.

1. Islam demands sincere and genuinefaith.
2. This sincerity is needed in thefundamental beliefs as well as towardsthe leaders and the members of thecommunity.
3. This means strong belief in Tawhid
(oneness of God), the divine message ofthe Quran and the messenger of Godwho conveyed this Message to us.
4. Also, the leader of the community, whofollows the Quran and Sunnah, shouldbe sincerely followed:
5. And obey God and obey the Messenger
and those charged with authorityamong you. (4:59)
6. Finally, Muslims should believe inrespecting and caring for the fellows inthe community.
1. Belief in Tawhid, Quran and the last
Messenger is demonstrated byfollowing the eternal guidance of the
Quran and Sunnah.
2. Muslims should observe the five pillars
of Islam
3. As for cooperating with the leader of
the community, Muslims should
remember the speech of Abu Bakr on
his election as caliph:
4. Help me if I am in the right, set me
right if I am in the wrong
5. Similarly, sincerity towards fellowsshould be expressed by being kind,
polite, just and respectful to them.

8/12/2019 islamiyat studies - Notes1

1. According to Islamic faith, allbelievers are bonded together by a
common faith in Islam
2. They, therefore, constitute a single
family or brotherhood where all
members are familiar to each other
regardless of geographical, racial or
linguistic barriers.
3. The Holy Quran endorses this by
saying: Believers are a single
brotherhood (49:10).
4. Now this sense of belonging to a
single family unit demands that a
spirit of sacrifice for the othermembers be nurtured and kept alive.
1. A true believer is supposed to be ready
to give preference to the needs andfeelings of his Muslim brothers over
his own.
2. He should try to emulate the example
of the Ansar of Madinah who readily
shared all their belongings with their
Muhajir brothers.3. Muslims should negate selfishness,
promote spirit of sacrifice and love for
the fellow Muslims
4. Should develop a sense of collective
welfare and make efforts to ensure
comfort and benefits for others asmuch as for himself:
5. True believers should not look down
upon others and should not taunt
them or call them by offensive nick
names or ever break ties with them.

1. The Messenger of Allah, in his saying,has laid down certain cardinal
disciplines for a true believer
2. Unless belief expresses itself
practically, it remains but a
pretension.
3. Teachings of the Prophet aim at
inculcating and developing the
feelings of generosity and kindness in
our day to day interaction with others
4. True belief is palpably associated
with kindness in attitude.
5. Practical demonstration of true belief
has to be projected through action
1. A faithful believer ought to be a source of
comfort to his neighbours and shouldproject generosity and hospitality
towards all human beings giving
preference to other Muslim brethren.
2. The Quran commands its followers to be
kind and polite in speech: And speak
kindly to mankind (2:83).3. Neighbors and guests are important
components of the Muslim society and
showing them generosity would
strengthen the bonds of love and
fraternity
4. Allah elaborately enjoins upon us, in (al-
Ma'un), certain duties signifying theimportance of neighbourly needs

Hadith No 4 : A man asked the Messenger: Do you think that if I say my prayers regularly,

1. Amongst the five pillars upon whichIslam stands, after Shahadah, the two
mentioned above are those which are
obligatory for each and every Muslim.
2. This Hadith highlights the principles
upon which is based eligibility for
Paradise.
3. Without the establishment of Salah
and observance of the Sawm, it is
impossible to avoid Hellfire
4. Another thing that is mentioned, is
the adherence to the Halal and
avoiding the Haram
5. If Islamic teachings are followed, i.e.only the lawful is acted upon and the
prohibited is shunned, the path to
Jannah becomes clear and sure
1. Salat and Sawm are both aimed at
promoting self-discipline and completesubmission to Allah's command
2. The Quran elaborates the objective of
fasting in these words:
3. O you who believe! Fasting has been
prescribed to you ____ so that you may
learn self-restraint (2:183).4. A Muslim is not merely ordered to pray
individually but to 'establish' prayer,
meaning to bond collectively with the
community through the daily prayers
and also through celebrating Ramadan
5. These together prepare the believers
to observe patience, perseverance andavoid Halal so as to achieve the
objectives
6. Thus such a conduct in life would pave
the way to Paradise.

Hadith No 5 : Every person's every joint must perform a charity every day the sun comes up:
to act justly between two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto

charity; every kind word is a charity and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity

1. All physical powers as a gift & trustfrom Allah
2. Muslim should remember this and
express gratitude to Allah by helping
fellow Muslims brothers
3. All such acts are acts of charity
4. Such acts should be equated with
exerting energy in the worship of God
5. The Prophet said: The best among
the people are those who are a
source of benefit to the people
6. This hadith emphasizes that a Muslim
must spend each day of his or her lifedoing acts of kindness
1. Islam includes all good deeds whether
acts of worship or kindness to othersin the scope of charity that shall be
rewarded by Allah.
2. Muslims should help their brothers
and sisters in day to day affairs.
3. They should hurry to offer their
prayer, share the burden of fellows
and, wherever possible, remove
anything harmful from thoroughfares.
4. As in the examples given by the Holy
Prophet, all joints and organs of the
body working for goodness perform
acts of charity5. So much so that the Holy Prophet said
that, even a smile is a charity.

1. Islam teaches its followers to firstestablish a true Islamic society based onthe teachings of the Quran and Sunnah
2. The faith inside a Muslim expresses itselfthrough his or her opposition to evil
3. It further commands them to defend thesociety against all possible evils withwhatever available resources.
4. A Muslim must physically stop evil orattack it verbally, or at least havefeelings of resentment for it.
5. The Quran declares the distinguishingfactor of the Muslim Ummah as: You arethe best of the people, evolved formankind, enjoining what is right,forbidding what is wrong and believing
in Allah (3:100)6. If a person doesn't even feel bad upon
encountering an evil, then perhaps truefaith has not yet entered his or her heart.
1. Eradication of evil involves struggle of
varying degrees depending on theavailable resources with the Muslimcommunity and government.
2. If s/he does nothing, nor even feels theneed to do so s/he should be warned thatas per this Hadith, even the weakestdegree of faith is missing from his or her
heart.
3. Evil may be suppressed through speechor writings by individuals, or use of lawenforcement by Muslim rulers.
4. Thus suppressing evil, (Qital or PhysicalJihad.) or verbally admonishing
(Dawa'/intellectual Jihad) it, is the dutyof a Muslim.
5. But at all times a believer is required toshun evil internally and for this askAllahs help (Surah Falaq)
