 Unit 1: Hazrat Muhammad (‫ )ﷺ‬an Embodiment of Justice
1. Hazrat Muhammad’s ‫ ﷺ‬life is a perfect model and example for the people who want to attain
goodness, piety and success in their individual as well as social life. People can seek light from
the message and guidance from his life to achieve perfection in the moral, spiritual and social
areas of life. He has set very high and noble ideals through his practical example for all mankind
to follow in every field of life.
2. Hazrat Muhammad ‫ ﷺ‬practically proved that no one could be more just and equitable than
the Rasool of Allah Almighty. As a young trader, he earned the good reputation of being an
honest, fair and just businessman. He always had fair and just dealings with all people. When
the Ka’bah’ was being constructed, there arose a dispute among the people regarding the Black
Stone. He devised the most equitable plan for the setting of the Black Stone. This pleased
everyone and saved them from a tribal conflict.
3. As head of the state of Madinah, he decided all cases on merit with justice and equity,
irrespective of colour, creed, or race. Once a Quraish woman was found guilty of stealing. Some
people wanted to save her from punishment in order to protect the honour of the family of the
Quraish. They asked Hazrat Usama bin Zaid ‫ ریض اہلل اعتٰیلہنع‬to intercede on her behalf. Hazrat
Usama ‫ ریضاہللاعتٰیلہنع‬requested the Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬to forgive her. The Rasool ‫ ﷺ‬very furiously said,
“Bani Israel was ruined because of this. They applied law to the poor and forgave the rich.”
4. During the sermon, an Ansari seeing some men from the tribe of Banu Tha’lba sitting there,
stood up and pointed toward them and said, “Oh Messenger of Allah! Their ancestors killed a
member of our family. We appeal to you to get one of them hanged in exchange for that.” The
Holy Prophet ‫ ﷺ‬replied, “The revenge of the father cannot be taken on his son.”
Unit 2: Chinese New Year
5. Prior to the first day of the New Year it is customary for families to thoroughly clean their
houses. Doing this is said to clear out any bad luck from the previous year and to make the house
ready to accept good luck for the coming year. All cleaning must be finished before the New
Year’s Day so there is no chance of accidentally throwing out the good fortune of the New Year.
Wearing black is not allowed due to its association with death, however, wearing red is
encouraged as the colour is associated with warding off bad spirits.
6. Another popular custom is to hang up signs and posters on doors and windows with the Chinese
word fu written on them, which means luck and happiness. Buying flowers for the home is also
commonplace since they symbolize the coming of spring and a new beginning.
7. It is a traditional practice for adults to give children little red envelopes filled with money in
order to symbolize wealth and prosperity for the coming year. It is also common for elders to
present red packets to unmarried members of the family. Envelopes are not to be opened until
the recipient has left the home of the giver.
8. Every year is associated with one of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. These animals are
often represented in decorations. Some people believe that those born during the year of a
particular animal may have the character traits of that animal.
Unit 4: First Aid
9. We all need help at times in our lives. Sometimes we may have accidents and we may get hurt.
When we are injured or suddenly become unwell, we need someone to help us – someone who
knows what to do. It is the temporary and immediate help. This timely assistance, comprising
simple medical techniques, is most critical to the victims and is, often, lifesaving.
10. Handling minor accidents at home or on the road develops a sense of crisis management. This
may prepare people to tackle with unexpected emergencies with great confidence. Minor cuts
and scrapes usually do not need to go to the emergency room. Yet proper care is essential to
avoid infection or other complications.
11. After you clean the wound, apply a thin layer of an antibiotic cream or ointment to help keep
the surface moist. The products don’t make the wound heal faster, but they can help your body’s
natural healing process work fast. Certain ingredients in some ointments can cause a mild rash
in some people. If a rash appears, stop using the ointment.
Unit 6: Television vs. Newspapers
12. News coverage over television is different from reading newspapers. Newspapers were primarily
established to cover the news and later on they added entertainment. On the other side television
was mainly invented for entertainment and then it became an effective news medium. Now
television news has become a powerful rival to newspapers. Though both of these mediums cover
the news effectively, there are distinct differences in the way they do it.
13. Newspapers do not require us to sit at a place and read the news. Busy people may read the
papers anytime of the day. They may read the news that is important to them early in the
morning, and carry the paper with them to read in the bus or van. They may also choose to omit
certain aspects of the news that they are not interested in.
14. Each medium has strengths that the other does not. Each makes use of strong points that the
other lacks. Television news is like having a fast food meal whereas reading newspapers is like
having a ten course dinner. The ideal seems to be, if one has the time, to both read the news and
watch it on television.
Unit 7: Little by Little One Walks Far!
15. The last couple of years have been a long bumpy ride for me, as they have for every one of my
age. The experiences might be different but everyone has gone through many of the same
“teenage” circumstances as I have done. All of them have dealt with them in their own way. As
a personal participant in this “game”, we call life, I would say I worked hard for the first place
and earned it.
16. As a student, I am an active participant in academic and co-curricular activities. My first
priority has always been to get good grades in school. Although this is important to me, I also
know that by participating in sports, and after-school activities, I will become a well-rounded
student.
17. In order to gain an understanding of independence and responsibility, I held several summer
jobs in the preceding two years. I also worked to help myself financially in a boarding school.
My first summer job was at the English Language Center. My second job was at McDonald’s,
and my past summer job was at D.K Academy. I am thankful to all these institutions for these
job experiences.
18. I am glad that I have got a taste of what the real world has to offer. I have learned many lessons
from my Public High School, boarding school, and work experiences. I am now ready to learn
many more lessons through my college experience. Although it has been tough, I have succeeded
so far.
Unit 9: Selecting the Right Career
19. Today, life has become more dynamic and innovative. Gone are the days when the medical and
engineering fields were the only available choices. Now a whole world of non-traditional careers,
from IT, electronic media and web networking to online business portals and fashion designing,
are available for the young people.
20. The scope of any field in terms of market demand should also be considered very seriously. We
cannot practically deny the significance of hiring trends; for example, a decade ago when
computer science professionals were in demand, masses of MCS (Master of Computer Sciences)
students flooded the market with extremely disappointing results.
21. Career counselors are generally well informed about such trends. They can play a key role in
guiding the youth towards a rewarding profession. This highlights the importance of a full time
career-counseling department at the school level. The job of this department should be to
determine the personalities of students, to observe and analyze their interests and to suggest
suitable careers according to their aptitude.
22. So before deciding on any career, make sure that you do not earn only money from your career
but also mental peace and satisfaction. It is the only way to lead a hassle free professional life!
 Unit 10: A World without Books
23. Literature is the story of humans. It is the record of who we are, where we come from and where
we are going? Books make us travel at large. During our journey, we are connected with
humanity. We identify ourselves with the characters we meet and learn whether we love, loathe,
fear or flatter.
24. Books are a source of comfort for us. They are a safe shelter. Throughout human history man
has found peace in the written works. Books are bridges – through their pages we make our
contact with society. Those who read more are better prepared to face the world than those who
don’t read.
25. Books offer other types of pleasures as well. The joy of their touch, sound and fragrance is
immeasurable. The pleasure of their understanding is an addition to it. The sharing of a book
with friends is still another form of joy. Libraries are the evidence of grandeur of a civilization.
Unit 11: Great Expectations
26. The story begins when Pip was a lonely orphan. He was brought up by his sister. She was very
strict and hard with him. His best friend was Joe, his sister’s husband. He was kind and warm-
hearted. He loved Pip as if he were his own son.
27. Pip and his friends decided that London was too dangerous for the wanted man. They thought
that Pip should take him abroad. As they attempted to board a ship, he was caught by the police.
At his trial in court, he was sentenced to death by the judge. Before he could be hanged, he died
in prison.
Unit 12: Population Growth and World Food Supplies
28. The alarming and incessant growth of population is causing serious economic problems in
almost all continents. Great pressure is being placed on arable land, water, energy, and
biological resources. As the world population grows, the food problem will become increasingly
severe. The most vulnerable will be population in developing countries. The per capita available
of food grains has been declining for the last 25 years.
29. Water is another critical item for all crops. Massive amount of water is required during the
growing season for cultivation. In fact, agricultural production consumes more fresh water than
any other human activity. In many countries, people are facing shortage of fresh water.
30. Strategies for the future must be based on the conservation and careful management of land,
water, energy, and biological resources needed for food production. Yet none of these measures
will be sufficient to ensure adequate food supplies for future generations unless the growth in
the human population is simultaneously curtailed.
Unit 13: Faithfulness
31. Once Hazrat Umar ‫ریضاہلل ہنع‬, sitting in the Masjid of the Rasool ‫ﷺ‬, was busy in the affairs of the
state. Two young men, holding a strong and sturdy countryman, appeared before him. They
complained to Hazrat Umar ‫ ریض اہلل ہنع‬that the person had murdered their old father. They
demanded justice by punishing the murderer for his crime.
32. The Caliph looked at the young man and said, “You have heard the charge leveled against you.
What have you to say in your defence?” The villager replied, “Commander of the Faithful, I
plead guilty to the charge. I was leading my beloved camel. When I reached a garden and halted
to rest, the camel nipped a few leaves off the hanging branch of a tree.
33. The third day dawned. The accusers and the surety were present at the Masjid of the Rasool
‫ﷺ‬. They were waiting for the criminal. As time passed, Sahabah ‫ ریضاہللمہنع‬felt anxious for the
fate of Hazrat Abuzar Ghaffari ‫ریضاہللہنع‬. When only an hour remained, both the accusers came
forward and demanded from Hazrat Abuzar Ghaffari ‫ ریضاہللہنع‬their man.
34. When the whole court was in worried state of mind, the villager reached there perspiring from
head to foot. As he entered, he saluted the Caliph and said, ‘Allah be praised for His mercy I
was able to make my uncle trustee of the gold. As you see I am right in time, do not delay the
execution.’
35. On hearing these words, the audience present in the court gave cries of joy and applause and the
face of the Caliph beamed with pleasure as he said, “Young men, the blood money will be paid
to you from the People’s Treasury, and Allah will reward you for this goodness on the Day of
Judgment.” Accusers: Commander of the Faithful, we forgive him as forgiveness is divine and,
therefore, we respectfully refuse to accept any blood money.

IMPORTANT STANZAS
Unit 03: Try Again
‘Tis a lesson you should heed--
Try again;
If at first you don’t succeed,
Try again.
Then your courage should appear;
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear,
Try again.
(MTN-II/2023)
Once or twice though you should fail,
If you would at last prevail,
Try again.
If we strive, ‘tis no disgrace
Though we did not win the race--
What should you do in that case?
Try again.
(FSD-II, SGD-I, GRW-I/2023)
If you find your task is hard.
Try again;
Time will bring you your reward,
Try again;
All that other folk can do,
Why with patience should not you?
Only keep this rule in view,
Try again.
(LHR-I, RWP-I/2023)
Unit 05: The Rain
I hear leaves drinking rain;
I hear rich leaves on top
Giving the poor beneath
Drop after drop;
 ‘Tis a sweet noise to hear
These green leaves drinking near.
(BWP-I & II / 2023)
And when the sun comes out,
After this rain shall stop,
A wondrous light will fill
Each dark, round drop;
I hope the sun shines bright;
It will be a lovely sight.
(MTN-I, DGK-I, LHR-I, SGD-II / 2023)
Unit 08: Peace
The wind is now
a roaring, smashing
monster of destruction,
raking all man’s work
from the valleys,
from the vales,
and sends them spinning,
broken flying –
(SWL-II, DGK-II, FSD-I / 2023)
But all of that is
not its core,
its center is in truth
eternal stillness
bright blue skies
and all you hear
are gentle whispers
far away
and unimportant.
(BWP-II, SWL-I, GRW-II / 2023)
