2. Write a short answer:
i. Write a brief introduction of the Holy Quran.

Ans: The Holy Quran is the last and universal book of Allah Almighty, revealed to the final
Prophet, Muhammad (SAW). It is the word of Allah, conveyed through the angel Gabriel (AS),
and was revealed over a period of 23 years to address the events and needs of the time. The Quran
serves as the ultimate source of guidance for all humanity until the Day of Judgment. It derives its
name from "Qira’a," which means to read, as it is the most widely read book in the world.
ii. The Holy Quran is a universal book. Explain.
Ans: The Holy Quran is considered a universal book because it is not limited to a particular time,
place, or group of people. It is meant for the guidance of all humanity until the Day of Judgment.
The universality of the Quran is emphasized by the fact that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the
final Prophet for all of humanity, and the Quran is the last and complete revelation from Allah,
meant to guide all mankind.
iii. State the reason for the preservation of the Holy Quran till the Day of Judgment.
Ans: The preservation of the Holy Quran until the Day of Judgment is a divine promise from
Allah. It is preserved both in its wording and its meaning. The primary reason for its preservation
is that Allah Himself took the responsibility for safeguarding it, as mentioned in the Quran (Surah
Al-Hijr: 9): "Surely We revealed the Message, and We will surely preserve it."
iv. Write the miracle of the Holy Quran.
Ans: One of the miracles of the Holy Quran is its unique quality of captivating and inspiring those
who recite it. It has the power to rejuvenate the hearts and minds of its readers continuously. People
who engage in the recitation of the Quran often report experiencing a sense of spiritual satisfaction,
peace, and happiness. What makes this a miracle is that unlike other books, reading the Quran
doesn't lead to fatigue or boredom; instead, it brings a sense of renewed pleasure and joy with
every reading. This phenomenon testifies to the divine nature of the Quran and its profound impact
on the hearts of believers.
v. Explain the compilation of the Holy Quran during the time of the Holy Prophet (SAW).
Ans: During the time of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the Holy Quran was revealed
gradually over a period of 23 years. Whenever a new revelation came to the Prophet (SAW), he
would arrange for it to be recorded immediately. The Prophet (S.A.W) would ask the Scribe
(writer) to write them. The written passages were placed at a fixed place in Masjid-e-Nabavi. The
companions of the Prophet would copy the verses from there and learnt them by heart. They would
also recite the verses in their daily prayers.
3. Write a detailed answer:
i. Write a detailed note the collection and compilation of the Holy Quran during the time of
the companions (RA).
Ans: The collection and compilation of the Holy Quran during the time of the companions (RA)
was a meticulous and vital process in safeguarding the Quran for future generations. In the early

3
days of Islam, during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), Quranic revelations were
preserved in various forms, including written materials, and many Companions memorized it.
However, after the Prophet's passing, the need for a written compilation became apparent due to
the rapid expansion of the Muslim community and the potential loss of memorizers in battles.
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RA), the first Caliph, recognized this urgency and appointed a
committee led by Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (RA) to collect and compile the Quranic revelations.
They meticulously verified the authenticity of each verse by cross-referencing multiple sources
and completed the compilation into a single written manuscript. After Hazrat Abu Bakr's (RA)
passing, the manuscript was entrusted to Hazrat Umar Farooq (RA) and then to Hazrat Hafsa bint
Umar (RA), one of the Prophet's wives.
During the caliphate of Hazrat Usman Ghani (RA), variations in Quranic recitations emerged,
leading him to standardize the Quranic text by distributing copies of the Mushaf of Abu Bakr to
different regions. This standardized text, known as the "Uthmani script," serves as the basis for the
Quranic text we have today.
The significance of this process lies in its preservation of the Quranic text in its pure and unaltered
form. It is a testament to the dedication of the Companions (RA) in preserving the divine
revelation, ensuring that the Quran remains unchanged and authentic for all time.

followed.

v. Write the translation of a Hadith-e-Mubaraka regarding the belief in finality of the

Prophethood.
Ans: The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: "I am the last Prophet, there will be no prophet after me."
(Jam'a Tirmazi: 2219)
i. Write the characteristics of Prophethood.

Ans: Allah bestowed many qualities on the Prophets (AS). Some of these are:
• Prophets are chosen and granted knowledge and wisdom through divine revelation.
• Prophets and Messengers are human beings, they occupy the highest position among all
creatures in terms of their status and intelligence.
• They are sinless and do not commit any wrongdoing.
• Prophethood is a divine reward and cannot be achieved through any human effort.
• Obedience to the Prophets is obligatory, along with obedience to Allah Almighty.
• Prophets are the bearers of Allah's message and guidance to humanity.
ii. Explain the belief in the finality of Prophethood/ Khatm-e-Nabuwat.
Ans: In Arabic Khatam means to seal, to close, to bring to end, or to accomplish a task. The
culmination of Prophethood means that the chain of Prophets which started with the advent of
Hazrat Adam and followed by many Prophets was finalized with Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). Thus,
the belief in the finality of Prophethood means accepting that Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) is the
last and final Prophet sent by Allah Almighty. No Prophet or Messenger will come after him until
the Day of Judgment.
This belief is supported by Quranic verses and Hadith-e-Mubaraka, and it is a fundamental tenet
of Islam. Muhammad (SAW) is the seal of the Prophet. Allah says in the Holy Quran: “Muhammad
is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the
Prophets.”
In many of Ahadith-e-Mubaraka the Holy Prophet (SAW) declared himself to be the last
messenger of Allah Almighty and told the ummah that there now there will be no prophet after
him. The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: “I am the last Prophet, there will be no prophet after me”.
(Jam’a Tirmazi:2219)
In the light of the verses of the Holy Quran and the Ahadith-e-Mubaraka of the Holy Prophet
(SAW) it is the consensus of the pious Companions (RA) and the Muslim Ummah, that no prophet
can come after Prophet Muhammad (SAW). That is why Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) carried out Jihad
against the false claimants of prophethood who claimed false prophethood during his time.

3. Answer in detail:

are made of light. They are neither male nor female and only Allah knows the number of angels.
They are always busy in doing the tasks assigned to them by Allah besides hymning His praises.
To believe in Angels as a creation of Allah is a fundamental element of faith.
Belief in Revealed books is another fundamental belief of Islam. Allah has revealed books and
Scrolls )‫ (صحائف‬to his Messengers. It is necessary for a Muslim to have belief in these books. The
books revealed to the Prophets contained the teachings and commands of Allah. The remarkable
four books are:
• Taurat ‫تورات‬: Revealed to Hazrat Musa (Moses) A.S.
• Zabur‫ زبور‬: Revealed to Hazrat Daud (David) A.S.
• Injeel ‫انجیل‬: Revealed to Hazrat Issa (Jesus) A.S.
• Quran ‫قرآن‬: Revealed to Hazrat Muhammad ‫ﷺ‬
ii. Write down the importance of the belief in the Hereafter and its effects on the human life.
Ans: The belief in the world hereafter exercises deep influences on the life of a man. Some of
these are described as under:
1. A person who believes in the life hereafter knows that all his deeds committed in public or in
private are recorded and preserved, hence, such a person will always strive to do good.
2. The belief in the world hereafter enables a man to hate evil deeds because he knows that as a
result of misdeeds he/she will have to suffer torture of hell.
3. Fear of mortality makes a man coward. When man realizes and believes that the life in this
world is temporary which is to be followed by a permanent and eternal life in the world hereafter
he becomes bold and fearless.
4. The belief in the world hereafter creates a sense of tolerance in a man. He knows that Allah will
ultimately reward him for the hardships borne in the cause of righteousness. This enables him to
face every difficulty and hardship with patience and forbearance.
5. This belief makes a person indifferent to money and wealth. He believes that real life of man is
the life in the world hereafter. Therefore, he is not greedy and miserly and spends his money
generously.
6. This belief develops a sense of responsibility in a person. The sense of responsibility enables
the man to perform his duties honestly.
7. The fear of world hereafter keeps a man away from show off. His deeds and actions are always
sincere.

3. Write detailed answer:
i. What were the main reasons for the conquest of Makkah?

15
Ans: The conquest of Makkah was driven by several factors. In the 6 th year of Hijri, Banu
Khuza’ah allied with the Muslims during the Truce of Hudaybiyyah. On the other hand, Banu Bakr
allied with the Quraish. Despite the truce, Banu Bakr violated the treaty by attacking Banu
Khuza’ah, even within the sanctuary of the Ka'bah. Banu Khuza’ah sought help from the Muslims.
The Prophet (P.B.U.H) communicated the continuation of the treaty to the Quraish of Makkah
under certain conditions, including paying blood money for the victims of Banu Khuza’ah, ending
their alliance with Banu Bakr, or declaring the treaty null and void. The Quraish chose the third
option. Eventually, in the month of Ramadan, 8 A.H., a ten thousand-strong Muslim army reached
the outskirts of Makkah. Hazrat Khalid Bin Walid commanded the right flank, Hazrat Zubair the
left flank, and Hazrat Abu Ubaida led the infantry. Hazrat Zubair carried the Prophet's (P.B.U.H)
flag, and it was foretold that Allah would honor the Ka'bah on that day. After a brief skirmish, the
Muslim army entered Makkah.

Muttalib.”

Ans: A delegation of Christians from Najran visited Medina to meet the Prophet (P.B.U.H). This

particularly significant as they managed both religious and worldly matters for their people. The
Prophet (P.B.U.H) warmly welcomed them, providing accommodation in the mosque and allowing
them to offer their prayers according to their faith. They were treated with great hospitality.
The purpose of their visit was to engage in a debate with the Prophet (P.B.U.H) after hearing about
his Prophethood. They presented arguments claiming that Hazrat Eisa (Jesus) was God and the son
of God. The Prophet (P.B.U.H) listened to their arguments and refuted them point by point.
However, they remained steadfast in their beliefs.
In response, Allah revealed an order for mutual cursing, but when the Prophet (P.B.U.H) proposed
it, the priests of Najran refused out of fear. Instead, they agreed to pay jizya, a tax. The Prophet
(P.B.U.H) declared that had they engaged in mutual cursing, severe punishment from Allah would
have befallen them, transforming them into animals and causing destruction in their valley. They
narrowly escaped this fate by choosing to pay the tax.

personal needs. It is essential to worship diligently but also fulfill responsibilities to others and
oneself.
i. Elaborate the Holy Prophet’s love to worship ALLĀH and his humbleness in it.
Ans: The Holy Prophet Muhammad (‫ )ﷺ‬had a profound love for worshiping ALLĀH, even before

being. The teachings of Islam encourage a balanced approach to worship that includes fulfilling
the rights of ALLĀH, the rights of fellow human beings, and taking care of one's own health and
personal needs.
The Prophet Muhammad (‫ )ﷺ‬himself taught this moderation. He advised against excessive fasting
and night prayers, reminding his followers that their bodies, eyes, visitors, and family also have
rights over them. The goal is not to exhaust oneself through excessive worship but to maintain a
harmonious balance between devotion and daily life.
In short, moderation in worship ensures that a person's spiritual practice does not lead to neglecting
other aspects of life, and it reflects the comprehensive nature of Islam, which encompasses all
aspects of human existence.

possessions because of his reputation for truthfulness and trustworthiness. Even in the midst of
conflict and adversity, the Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬upheld his role as a custodian and faithfully returned
everything entrusted to him.
This incident serves as a profound example of trustworthiness in action and exemplifies the

Ans: Arrogance, known as "Takabur" in Arabic, refers to a sense of superiority over others,
accompanied by a disdainful attitude and the belief that one is better than others. It involves
looking down upon others and considering oneself as more significant or valuable. Arrogance is a
negative character trait that is condemned in Islam and is considered a spiritual disease.
ii. Write a verse from the Holy Quran about the condemnation of arrogance.
Ans: One verse from the Holy Quran that condemns arrogance is from Surah Al-Zuhruf: "And
they said, 'Why was this Qur'an not revealed on a great man from either one of the two towns
(Makkah and Taif)?' This verse reflects the objection raised by some in Makkah who thought that
the Quran should have been revealed to a person they deemed more prestigious or wealthy,
highlighting their arrogance.
iii. Write any two forms of arrogance.
Ans: Two forms of arrogance are:

28
• Associating oneself with Allah, as seen in the claims of individuals like Pharaoh and
Nimrod who declared themselves as lords.
• Considering oneself greater than the Prophets and Messengers (‫)علیہ السالم‬, holding grudges
against them, and refusing to obey or follow their guidance.
iv. What has the Prophet (‫ )صلى ہلال علیه وسلم‬said about arrogance?
Ans: The Prophet (‫ )صلى ہلال علیه وسلم‬has said, "A person having a mite of pride will never enter
paradise."
v. What action can eliminate arrogance?
Ans: One of the actions that can eliminate arrogance is to seek Allah's pleasure and to follow the
teachings of the Prophets (‫)علیہ السالم‬. By doing so, individuals can cultivate humility and refrain
from pride, which can lead to success in both this world and the hereafter.
i. Write a detailed note on the condemnation of arrogance in light of the Qur'an and hadiths.
Ans: Arrogance is clearly condemned in Islam, as evidenced by various references in the Qur'an
and hadiths.
Qur'anic and Arrogance:
One prominent Quranic reference is Surah Al-Zuhr: 31, which highlights the objection of some
people in Makkah who questioned why the Quran was not revealed to a "great man" from one of
the prominent towns. This objection stems from their arrogant belief that the Quran should have
been delivered to someone they deemed more prestigious or wealthy. The Quranic response to this
objection serves as a direct condemnation of such arrogance.
Additionally, Surah Qasas: 83, underscores that the Hereafter is reserved for those who do not seek
superiority or corruption on Earth. This verse emphasizes that arrogance, which seeks to elevate
oneself above others, is incompatible with the values of the Hereafter.
Hadiths and Arrogance:
Prophet Muhammad (‫)صلى ہلال علیه وسلم‬, said: "A person having a mite of pride will never enter
paradise" (Sahih Muslim: 91). This hadith unequivocally condemns even the smallest amount of
arrogance, making it clear that arrogance is a significant barrier to attaining paradise.
In conclusion, both the Qur'an and hadiths emphasize the severe condemnation of arrogance in
Islam. Arrogance is considered a spiritual disease that is completely opposed to the values of
humility, equality, and submission to Allah. The Quranic references and hadith serve as a warning
to believers against adopting an arrogant attitude, as it can lead to spiritual and moral downfall.
ii. What moral evils does an arrogant person suffer from? Explain.
Ans: An arrogant person suffers from several moral evils, such as:
i. Arrogance often leads individuals to protect their false ego by resorting to falsehoods and
deceit. They may lie to maintain a facade of superiority or to cover up their shortcomings.
ii. Arrogant individuals may engage in backbiting, which involves speaking negatively about
others behind their backs. This is often driven by a desire to demean or belittle others to
bolster their own self-esteem.

29
iii. Arrogant individuals tend to distance themselves from those they perceive as inferior or
unworthy. They may avoid interacting with people they consider beneath them, which can
lead to social isolation and a lack of empathy.
iv. Arrogance can make a person indifferent to the struggles and feelings of others. They may
fail to empathize with those who are less fortunate or in need of support.
v. Arrogant individuals may excessively focus on material wealth, success, and appearance,
leading to a neglect of more profound moral and spiritual values.
vi. Arrogance can hinder one's ability to contribute positively to society. It may result in
strained relationships, reluctance to help others, and an overall negative impact on the
community.
vii. Arrogant individuals often struggle with inner turmoil and a lack of contentment. Their
obsession with maintaining a superior image can lead to constant stress and dissatisfaction.
In conclusion, arrogance not only affects an individual's moral character but also hampers their
ability to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life in society. Islam strongly condemns arrogance and
encourages humility, empathy, and selflessness as virtues that lead to spiritual growth and a
harmonious society.

i. Explain the meaning and concept of jealousy.

Ans: Jealousy, known as "Hasad" in Arabic, refers to a state in which a person feels resentment or
discontent towards the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon someone else. It involves wishing
that the other person did not possess these blessings or hoping for their elimination. Jealousy often
arises from feelings of insecurity or competition.
ii. Write the difference between jealousy and envy.
Ans: Jealousy (Hasad) involves not being happy with another person's blessings and wishing they
didn't have them. Envy, on the other hand, is allowed in Islam when it means wishing for similar
blessings in a positive way, such as being envious of someone's good character or good deeds.
iii. Write two disadvantages of jealousy.
Ans:
• Jealousy consumes one's good deeds, leading to spiritual loss.
• Jealousy can lead to negative emotions, stressed relationships, and even harmful actions,
as seen in the story of Cain and Abel (Qabil and Habil).
iv. State any two causes of jealousy.
Ans:
• Feelings of insecurity: When individuals feel that they lack something or are inferior to
others, they may become jealous of those who possess what they desire.
• Competition and rivalry: Jealousy can arise in competitive environments where individuals
are vying for similar resources, recognition, or status.
v. What is the way to avoid jealousy in the light of the Sunnah of the Prophet ( ‫صلى ہلال علیه‬
‫?)وسلم‬
Ans: To avoid jealousy, one can follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ( ‫ )صلى ہلال علیه وسلم‬by seeking refuge
in Allah from envy and recite verses such as Surat al-Falaq and Surat al-Nas, as well as Ayat-ul-
Kursi, before going to sleep. Additionally, one should make a conscious effort to pray for the
blessings and goodness of those who receive Allah's grace and mercy.
i. Highlight the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah about jealousy.

Ans: The Quran and Sunnah provide clear teachings about jealousy and its consequences:
Quranic Teachings:
• The Quran condemns jealousy and the harm it can cause. Surah Al-Falaq: 5, seeks refuge
from the harm of the envier when he envies, highlighting the negative consequences of
jealousy.
• The story of Iblis (Satan) refusing to prostrate to Hazrat Adam due to jealousy serves as a
profound example of the destructive nature of jealousy.
Sunnah Teachings:

31
• The Prophet Muhammad ( ‫ )صلى ہلال علیه وسلم‬emphasized the harmful effects of jealousy on a
person's good deeds. The hadith states, "Avoid jealousy because jealousy consumes good
deeds like fire consumes wood" (Sunan Abi Dawood: 4903).
• The Prophet also mentioned two situations in which it is permissible to envy: a person who
possesses knowledge of the Quran and recites it day and night and a person whom Allah
has granted wealth and who spends it generously in the path of Allah (Sahih Bukhari:
7529).
In conclusion, both the Quran and Sunnah condemn jealousy as a destructive trait that can harm
an individual's spiritual well-being and relationships. They encourage believers to seek refuge in
Allah from envy, to avoid harmful jealousy, and to pray for the goodness of others.

Ans: There are three main types of oaths:
• Yamin-e-Munaqida (‫)یمی َنمن َعَقدہ‬: Oath regarding a future act, for which expiation
(Kaffara) is required.
• Yamin-e-Ghamus (‫)یمی َنغموس‬: False oath taken on a past event, considered a major sin
with no expiation.
• Yamin-e-Laghw (‫)یمی َنلغو‬: Correct oath given in daily conversation about an incident that
did not happen that way, which is pardoned by Allah.
iii. What is meant by the protection of oaths?
Ans: The protection of oaths means that Muslims should avoid taking oaths unnecessarily because
truthfulness is a fundamental virtue in Islam. Taking oaths on unimportant matters can lead to a

33
loss of mutual trust and create an atmosphere of distrust, contrary to good human behavior and
social norms.
iv. Write the expiation/ penalty (Kaffara) for breaking the oath.

• Accountability on the Day of Judgment.
i. In the light of Qur'an and Sunnah, explain the rulings and issues of oath.
Ans: The important aspects of oaths according to the Qur'an and Sunnah are:
1. Prohibition of False Oaths: The Qur'an strictly prohibits false oaths and emphasizes the
importance of truthfulness. It differentiates between thoughtless oaths and deliberate oaths. While
Allah does not hold individuals accountable for thoughtless oaths, deliberate oaths are subject to
penalties. The penalty for breaking an oath is to feed ten poor people, clothe them, or free a bonded
person. If none of these is affordable, fasting for three days is an option.
2. Restriction to Oath in the Name of Allah: The Qur'an and Sunnah emphasize that oaths should
be taken exclusively in the name of Allah. Swearing by anyone or anything other than Allah is
forbidden and can lead to serious consequences.
3. Abstaining from Unlawful Oaths: Muslims are encouraged to abstain from making oaths for
unlawful or trivial matters. The lesson emphasizes that excessive oath-taking can waste time, erode
trust, and undermine social norms.
4. Consequences of False Oaths: It is emphasized that false oaths can lead to individual and
collective destruction. On the Day of Judgment, Allah will not show mercy to those who swear
falsely. Therefore, Muslims are urged to pray for the avoidance of false oaths and strive to refrain
from them.
In summary, the Qur'an and Sunnah provide clear guidance on the importance of truthfulness and
the seriousness of oaths. Muslims are encouraged to take oaths only in the name of Allah, avoid
false oaths, and be mindful of their consequences. The lesson underscores the significance of
upholding honesty and integrity in all aspects of life.

v. When there is only one witness the testimony is:
(a) Obligatory (b) Duty (c) Recommended (d) Permissible
2. Give a short answer:
i. Explain the meaning and significance of Shahadah.

Ans: Shahadah refers to testimony in Islam. It involves clarifying a matter based on one's
knowledge and providing evidence of responsibility so that the rightful person can obtain their
rights. The significance of Shahadah lies in its role in ensuring justice, trustworthiness, and honesty
in society. It is a critical element in legal proceedings and ethical conduct.
ii. Write down the Islamic rulings regarding male and female witnessing.
Ans: In Islamic jurisprudence, the general rule is that the testimony of two men is required in
financial and legal matters. However, if two men are not available, the testimony of one man and
two women is accepted. This is based on the Quranic verse from Surah Al-Baqarah (2:282), which
states that if two men cannot be found, then one man and two women can serve as witnesses. This
ruling is specific to financial transactions and is not a reflection of women's credibility but rather
a practical solution when multiple witnesses are needed.
iii. What two things must be kept in mind during testimony?
Ans: During testimony, the following two important things must be kept in mind:
• Observing an event carefully and retaining it in one's memory.
• Presenting the matter honestly and with full integrity before the Qazi (judge) or the legal
authority.
iv. Explain eyewitness testimony and auditory testimony.
Ans:
• Eyewitness Testimony: Eyewitness testimony refers to the account of an individual who
has personally observed an event with their own eyes. It involves providing a firsthand

35
description of what was seen. Eyewitness testimony is considered a strong evidence in legal
proceedings.
• Auditory Testimony: Auditory testimony, on the other hand, is the account provided by a
witness who has heard about an event but did not personally witness it. This testimony is
based on information received through hearing rather than seeing.
v. Write any two effects of false and true testimony?
Ans: The effects of the false and true testimony are:
Effects of True Testimony:
• True testimony fosters trust and peace in society, promoting feelings of brotherhood and
unity.
• It encourages individuals to take responsibility for their actions and uphold honesty, aiming
to please Allah.
Effects of False Testimony:
• False testimony enrages Allah, as it involves dishonesty and deception.
• False testimony leads to unrest and enmity in society, disrupting social harmony and
causing disputes and conflicts.
i. Explain the importance of testimony in the light of the Quran and Sunnah.
Ans: The importance of testimony in Islam is emphasized in both the Quran and the Sunnah.
Testimony plays a crucial role in ensuring justice, honesty, and accountability in society. Here is
an explanation of the importance of testimony in the light of the Quran and Sunnah:
Testimony is essential for upholding justice in legal and social matters. The Quran emphasizes the
importance of bearing witness to the truth and not concealing testimony when called upon. Allah
says in the Quran: "And the witnesses should not refuse when summoned" (Surah Al-Baqarah:
282). This verse underscores the obligation of witnesses to testify truthfully when called upon.
Testimony is a testament to an individual's trustworthiness and honesty. A truthful witness is
highly regarded in society, and their words carry credibility. This trustworthiness helps maintain
social harmony and stability. The Quran warns against concealing testimony and states, "And do
not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it—indeed, he has a sinful heart. And Allah is All-
Knowing of what you do" (Surah Al-Baqarah: 283).
In Islam, bearing false witness or perjury is considered a grave sin. False testimony is equated with
idol worship and shirk in the hadith, emphasizing its severity. Muslims are accountable to Allah
for their testimony and the truthfulness of their words. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) said, "Perjury is equivalent to worshiping idols. Perjury is equated to shirk" (Sahih al-
Bukhari: 4470).
Testimony promotes ethical conduct and integrity in individuals. It encourages people to speak the
truth and fulfill their moral and legal obligations. By doing so, individuals seek Allah's pleasure
and avoid His displeasure. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "If people were

36
given everything just because of a claim, how many people would claim the blood and wealth of
others? Therefore, on the claimant is the witness, and on the denier is the oath" (Sahih al-Bukhari:
4470).
In conclusion, testimony holds great significance in Islam as it serves as a pillar of justice, trust,
and accountability in society. It reflects the moral and ethical values that Islam upholds and
reinforces the principles of honesty, truthfulness, and fairness. Both the Quran and Sunnah
emphasize the responsibility of witnesses to provide truthful testimony and the consequences of
concealing or providing false testimony.

v. Write a translation of a hadith about the rights of neighbors.
Ans: The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: "By Allah, he does not believe! By Allah, he does not believe!
By Allah, he does not believe!" It was asked, "Who, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "The one
whose neighbor does not feel safe from his evil." (Sahih Bukhari: 6016).
i. Explain the rights of neighbors in the light of the Quran and Sunnah.
Ans: The rights of neighbors, as emphasized in the Quran and Sunnah, are of great significance in
Islam. These rights are highlighted as follows:
The Quran explicitly mentions the rights of neighbors and includes them among those deserving
kindness and consideration. In Surah Nisa: 36, Allah commands believers to be good to parents,
relatives, orphans, the destitute, neighbors who are relatives, neighbors who are strangers,
companions, and travelers in need. This verse underscores the importance of fulfilling the rights
of neighbors, whether they are relatives or strangers.
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) emphasized the importance of neighbor's rights by declaring it as part
of a person's faith. He said, "By Allah, he does not believe! By Allah, he does not believe! By
Allah, he does not believe!" It was asked, "Who, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "The one
whose neighbor does not feel safe from his evil" (Sahih Bukhari: 6016). This hadith emphasizes
that neglecting the rights of neighbors is a serious matter and can impact a person's faith.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) explicitly prohibited causing harm to neighbors. For
example, he prohibited a person from preventing their neighbor from fixing a peg in the wall of
their house (Sahih Bukhari: 5627). This prohibition extends to any action that may harm or
inconvenience neighbors. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) also mentioned the virtue of neighbor's
rights to the extent that it seemed neighbors might share in inheritance (Sahih al-Bukhari: 6015).
In conclusion, the Quran and Sunnah emphasize the importance of fulfilling the rights of
neighbors, whether they are relatives, close neighbors, or short-term neighbors. Neglecting these
rights is considered a serious matter, and acts of kindness and consideration towards neighbors are
highly encouraged in Islam. These teachings promote a sense of community, compassion, and
cooperation, which are essential for the well-being of society.
