Answer the following questions. Be sure to look at the marks for each question
to understand how many points are required in your answers.

1. Explain the following aya? (4 marks)

w‫سوقُ َب ْعدَ ٱِإْلي ٰ َم ِن‬
ُ ُ‫ٱٱِلس ُم ٱ ْلف‬
ْ ‫س‬ ِ ‫َواَل َت َنا َب ُزو ْا بِٱَأْل ْل ٰ َق‬
َ ‫ب ۖ ِبْئ‬
"wa-lā tanābazū bi-l-ʾalqābi biʾsa l-ʾismu l-fusūqu baʿda l-ʾīmāni " . [Al-Ḥujurāt: 11]
The People used to call the Prophet by His name which is not allowed as you should show
respect when speaking to the Prophet, so not shout and call Him by His name.
2. Write the evidence from Quran or Hadith on each of the following (15 marks)
A. Suspicion is a sin.
Suspicion is a sin in Islam as it is a form of defaming someone else, which is considered rude and
impolite. An example of suspicion is when you believe that someone is doing something wronmg
or cheating yet you have no evidence to prove that point.

B. If someone asks about a person for a specific permissible purpose and is told
of things that this person is known for in that regard, then this is not backbiting.
This depends on the situation. If you are saying nice things about someone when they are not
there (in this situation what the person is known for), then this is not a form of backbiting.
However if any rude or inconsiderate things are said about the mentioned person then this is
backbiting which once again is prohibited in Islam.
C. Allah knows everything.
Allah is the All-Knowing, the Most Merciful, the Most Forgiving. There are 99 names of Allah, and
one of them is that he is the all-knowing.
D. Allah made different groups of people for a reason.
Allah knows and is aware that we all have our differences and made us this way for a reason.
Our differences can be in our looks, behaviour, and anything else, and Allah has made our life a
test in which we must respect other people no matter what – whether it be their beliefs or
opinions.
e. It's not permissible for a Muslim to defame themselves.
This is not allowed in Islam as defaming someone includes the action of mocking/insulting others
in which is considered very disrespectful, rude and impolite, especially when we have been told
by Allah that we must respect others no matter what.

3. What is the meaning of the following keywords? (5 marks)

Yaskhar – talk badly about
Talmizū – raise your voices
wa lā tanābazū – talk with disrespect
al-fusūq – The
Yaghtab – reject
4. The Messenger of Allah never tolerated mockery? Give an example from his life. (4 marks)
When the people used to backbite about others and insult them the Prophet would not stand
for this and would tell them to stop.
5. Mention an example of the permissible mockery. (3 marks)
Mockery is always impermissible no matter the conditions – even is the other person is evil or
has committed vile actions mockery is still is not allowed. Examples of mockery can be name-
calling, insulting and telling people to shut up.
6. When is spying not considered a sin? (2 marks)
Spying is once again always a sin no matter how bad the person you are spying on may be. An
example of spying may be secretly looking at your neighbor while they do not know because you
think they are against you.
7. How does a person defame himself? (3 marks)
If you insult yourself or think of yourself as someone below average or that you are useless then
this is a form of defaming which once again isn’t allowed.
8. "Al Haqq" (The Real) is one of Allah SWT's names, Explain the meaning behind it.
(2 marks)
Allah is Real. He is the One and Only and there is so much evidence to prove his existence, for
example the creation of the universe.
