How the examination works

Two papers. Four answers on each. Ninety minutes.

Five questions are printed on each paper. You answer Question 1, Question 2 and any two of Questions 3–5. The first two topics therefore form the compulsory core of the course.

CompulsoryQuestion 1

Set Qur'an passages or Hadiths. Select two and answer on both.

8 marks

CompulsoryQuestion 2

The history and importance of the Qur'an or of the Hadiths.

14 marks

Choose twoQuestions 3–5

The Prophet ﷺ and first community, or the Caliphs, beliefs and practices.

14 marks each

Each paper

50marks

1:30hours

Questions 1 and 2 cannot be avoided. Across both papers, the prescribed texts and their history account for 44 of the 100 marks. Miftah Islamiyat treats them as essential core learning, not background reading.
