perform the obligatory prayers, fast in Ramadan, treat as lawful that which is lawful and treat as forbidden
that which is forbidden, and do nothing further, I shall enter paradise? He said: Yes.

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 it or hoisting up his belongings onto it is
a charity;...........................................................................................................................................
a good word is a charity; every step you take to prayers is a charity; and removing a harmful thing
from the road is a charity.

with his tongue, and if he is not able to do so then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith.

Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible. Every
reasonable effort has been made by the publisher (UCLES) to trace copyright holders, but if any items requiring clearance have unwittingly been included, the
publisher will be pleased to make amends at the earliest possible opportunity.

To avoid the issue of disclosure of answer-related information to candidates, all copyright acknowledgements are reproduced online in the Cambridge
Assessment International Education Copyright Acknowledgements Booklet. This is produced for each series of examinations and is freely available to download
at www.cambridgeinternational.org after the live examination series.

Cambridge Assessment International Education is part of Cambridge Assessment. Cambridge Assessment is the brand name of the University of Cambridge
Local Examinations Syndicate (UCLES), which is a department of the University of Cambridge.
