21 of 50 cards from the Islamiat deck — real questions with worked answers.

1. What is the literal meaning of the word 'Tafseer'?

   Tafseer means 'to explain, expound, or interpret.' In Islamic studies it refers to the explanation and interpretation of the meanings of the Holy Quran.

2. What is the central theme of Surah Al-Fatihah?

   Praise of Allah, recognition of His Lordship and Mercy, and a prayer (dua) asking Allah to guide us to the Straight Path (Sirat-ul-Mustaqeem).

3. Which Surah is known as 'Umm-ul-Quran' (the Mother of the Quran) and why?

   Surah Al-Fatihah, because it summarizes the essential themes of the entire Quran: praise of Allah, worship, and seeking guidance.

4. What is the central message of Surah Al-Ikhlas?

   The absolute Oneness (Tawheed) of Allah: He is One, Eternal (As-Samad), He neither begets nor is begotten, and there is none equal to Him.

5. What does the Arabic term 'Tawheed' mean?

   Tawheed means the Oneness/Unity of Allah: belief that Allah is one, has no partner, no equal, and is the sole Creator and Sustainer of the universe.

6. What are the three main categories of Tawheed?

   1) Tawheed-ar-Ruboobiyyah (Oneness of Lordship/Creation), 2) Tawheed-al-Uloohiyyah (Oneness of Worship), and 3) Tawheed-al-Asma-was-Sifaat (Oneness of Allah's Names and Attributes).

7. What is the opposite of Tawheed, and how is it defined?

   Shirk: associating partners with Allah or ascribing divine attributes to anyone other than Allah. It is the gravest sin in Islam and is unforgivable if one dies upon it.

8. What does 'Risalat' (Prophethood) mean as an article of faith?

   Risalat is the belief that Allah sent Prophets and Messengers to guide humanity, conveying His message and serving as role models. Belief in all Prophets is obligatory.

9. What is the meaning of 'Khatm-e-Nabuwwat' (Finality of Prophethood)?

   The belief that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the last and final Prophet of Allah; no new prophet will come after him. Anyone claiming prophethood after him is a liar (Kazzab).

10. Which Quranic verse directly establishes the Finality of Prophethood?

    Surah Al-Ahzab (33:40): 'Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal (Khatam) of the Prophets.'

11. What is the Arabic title given to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) signifying he is the last prophet?

    'Khatam-un-Nabiyyeen' meaning 'the Seal of the Prophets.'

12. What is the definition of a Hadith?

    A Hadith is a recorded saying, action, or tacit approval (taqreer) of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

13. What are the two main parts of a Hadith?

    1) Sanad (the chain of narrators), and 2) Matn (the actual text/content of the Hadith).

14. Name the most authentic books of Hadith collectively known as the 'Sihah Sittah' (Six Authentic Books).

    Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abu Dawood, Jami at-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasai, and Sunan Ibn Majah.

15. According to the famous Hadith, on how many pillars is Islam built, and name them.

    Five pillars: 1) Shahadah (declaration of faith), 2) Salah (prayer), 3) Zakat (almsgiving), 4) Saum (fasting in Ramadan), and 5) Hajj (pilgrimage).

16. What does the Hadith 'Actions are judged by intentions' (Innamal a'malu binniyyat) teach?

    It teaches that the reward and validity of every deed depends on the intention (niyyah) behind it; sincerity is essential in all acts of worship.
