24 sample cards from the Islamic Studies deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What does 'Uswa-e-Hasana' mean, and which Quranic verse establishes it?
It means 'the Best/Excellent Example.' Surah Al-Ahzab (33:21) states that in the Messenger of Allah there is an excellent example to follow.
Name three roles in which the Prophet (PBUH) serves as a model (Uswa-e-Hasana).
As a worshipper (devotion to Allah), a family man (kindness to wife and children), a leader/statesman (justice and governance), a teacher, a judge, and a military commander; any three are correct.
What is the Charter (Constitution) of Madina, and who issued it?
A written agreement issued by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) after the Hijrah that organized relations among the Muslims, Jews, and other tribes of Madina into a single political community (Ummah).
Why is the Charter of Madina historically significant?
It is regarded as one of the first written constitutions in history, establishing rights, mutual defence, religious freedom, and the rule of law in a pluralistic society.
What key rights did the Charter of Madina grant to non-Muslims (especially the Jews)?
Freedom of religion, security of life and property, equal participation in the defence of the city, and the right to follow their own laws and customs.
What collective security principle did the Charter of Madina establish?
That the inhabitants of Madina would defend the city jointly against external attack and would not make separate peace; an aggression against one was an aggression against all.
What is the Khutba Hajjat-ul-Wida (Last Sermon), and when was it delivered?
The farewell sermon delivered by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) during his only Hajj in 10 AH (632 CE) at Arafat, near the end of his life.
What did the Last Sermon declare about human equality?
That all mankind is from Adam, no Arab is superior to a non-Arab and no white is superior to a black except by piety (taqwa); all are equal before Allah.
What did the Last Sermon say about the sanctity of life and property?
It declared the life, property, and honour of every Muslim to be sacred and inviolable, just as that day, month, and city (Makkah) are sacred.
What did the Last Sermon abolish regarding pre-Islamic practices of usury and blood vengeance?
It abolished interest (riba) and pre-Islamic blood feuds (vengeance), forgiving all such past claims.
What did the Prophet (PBUH) say in the Last Sermon about the rights of women?
He instructed men to treat women kindly and fairly, reminding them that women have rights over men just as men have rights over them, as a trust from Allah.
What two things did the Last Sermon say Muslims must hold fast to in order never to go astray?
The Book of Allah (the Quran) and the Sunnah of His Prophet.
What is the Shahadah, and what are its two parts?
The Islamic declaration of faith and the first pillar of Islam: 'La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadur Rasul Allah' — (1) there is no god but Allah, and (2) Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.
What does the Shahadah signify and require of a believer?
It signifies acceptance of Allah's exclusive Oneness (Tawheed) and the prophethood of Muhammad (PBUH); sincere pronouncement and belief makes one a Muslim and obligates following both.
What is Salah, and what is its rank among the five pillars of Islam?
Salah is the ritual prayer; it is the second pillar of Islam and the first deed a person will be questioned about on the Day of Judgement.
How many obligatory (fard) daily prayers are there in Islam, and name them.
Five: Fajr (dawn), Zuhr (midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (sunset), and Isha (night).
How many fard (obligatory) rak'ahs are in each of the five daily prayers?
Fajr: 2, Zuhr: 4, Asr: 4, Maghrib: 3, and Isha: 4.
What is Wudu, and why is it required before Salah?
Wudu is the ritual ablution (washing of face, arms, head, and feet); it is a precondition of purity required for the validity of Salah.
What is the qiblah, and toward what do Muslims direct their Salah?
The qiblah is the prescribed direction of prayer; Muslims face the Ka'bah in Makkah during Salah.
What is the difference between fard, sunnah, and nafl prayers?
Fard prayers are obligatory and sinful to omit; Sunnah prayers are those the Prophet (PBUH) regularly performed (recommended); Nafl prayers are voluntary/optional for extra reward.
What are the five pillars of Islam in order?
1) Shahadah (declaration of faith), 2) Salah (prayer), 3) Zakat (almsgiving), 4) Sawm (fasting in Ramadan), and 5) Hajj (pilgrimage for those able).
What does belief in Qadr (Divine Decree) entail as an article of faith?
Believing that Allah has knowledge of and has decreed all things, good and bad; everything occurs by His knowledge, will, and creation, while humans retain responsibility for their choices.
According to Islamic belief, who is the final prophet, and what term describes this finality?
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is the final prophet; the term is 'Khatam an-Nabiyyin' (Seal of the Prophets), from Surah Al-Ahzab (33:40).
What is the Sunnah, and what are its three components?
The Sunnah is the model practice of the Prophet (PBUH), comprising his Qawl (sayings), Fi'l (actions), and Taqrir (tacit approvals).
What this deck covers
The Islamic Studies deck follows the PMS Compulsory Papers Islamic Studies syllabus — 6 chapters and 24 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 8.5 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 143 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
