PASSAGE 11

Sura 2.30–37
The main theme is Allah’s Messengers.
Candidates will develop these themes in their own way, e.g.
 Creator: God created Adam, as well as everything else (angels, etc.), and
made him a vicegerent on earth (khalifa), which suggests God values
humans above angels.
 Knowledge: God gives knowledge to who He wants, and He gives the
special status of prophethood to whom He wishes.
 Guidance: When Satan misled Adam, God did not leave him or allow any
obstacle to prevent him from making Adam his representative on earth, in
other words God looks after His prophets.
 Forgiveness: God shows His mercy to His prophets and humankind.

Sura 2.30–37
 The importance is that Adam was the first prophet of God, who was made
his representative on earth. This gives Muslims a sense of their
connection to God as Adam is called the father of humankind and
everyone is descended from him.
 God showed Adam’s importance by making the angels bow to him and
forgiving him when he disobeyed. This should make humankind
understand their status, they should seek forgiveness from God and
worship Him.
 It also shows God’s care and direct relationship with every individual.
 It also gives a message of hope when humans make mistakes and
repent.

PASSAGE 12
Sura 6.75–79 (Allah’s messengers)

The main themes are:

 God’s power is shown through His ability to control the sun and the moon,
 His signs are in creation, and the sign of His power is that He does not
fade or die away, whilst things in creation do.
 The passage also shows His relationship with His prophets, as Ibrahim
was searching for God, and that He uses these signs to guide them.
 Ibrahim, like all other prophets believed in and professed tawhid.
 His Oneness is pointed to through these signs and His power and so
these verses tell Muslims to worship God alone.

Sura 6.75–79

 The importance is that it creates a strong link with God and strengthens
belief in His Oneness, so Muslims should not look up to anything or
anyone else, to help them in their lives and solve their problems.
 It shows Muslims how God guided His messengers, in this case Ibrahim.
Humans should use their minds to ponder upon God.
 God’s signs invite Muslims to observe their environment. It creates awe
and wonder to help get closer to Him.
 It reminds humankind that He is the creator of all things, and this
realisation helps them turn to Him only in times of need.
PASSAGE 13
Sura 5.110
The main theme is Allah’s Messengers.
Candidates will develop these themes in their own way e.g.
 Guidance: God’s assistance and guidance to His prophets, in this case
Jesus was helped by the Holy Spirit, the Book and the wisdom, the Law
and the Gospel.
 Power: Jesus did great things but only with God’s permission, “by my
leave”.
 Support: God supports Prophet’s in their mission by giving them
miracles.
 Challenges: Prophets face opposition and persecution. In this case
Jesus was rejected with claims of magic.

Sura 5.110
 These teachings reaffirm for Muslims the prophethood of Jesus and the
power of God.
 The teachings show humans are capable of great feats but it is God who
gives permission, strength and assistance for these, whether it is moon
landings, space travel, etc.
 Muslims should use these as signs of God’s grace, and believe in His
power to control everything and allow things to happen. They should
therefore remember Him often, by praying, supplicating or doing good
deeds, etc. to ensure they are counted as believers.

PASSAGE 14

Sura 93

The main theme is Allah’s Messengers.


Candidates will develop these themes in their own way, e.g.
• Support: This sura is directed to the Prophet (pbuh) himself
showing how God helped him, in this case with shelter, guidance
and independence.
• Kindness: it gives the message of being kind and helpful to others
in need, like orphans and beggars, and realising that a person’s
benefits all come from thanking God.
• Assistance: God helps those who are in distress, prophets and
humankind. He is always present and with them through the
hardships they endure.
• Blessings: God reminds the Prophet (pbuh) of the benefits he has
given him.
• Grateful: you acknowledge God and His favours.
Sura 93

• A person may think that God has deserted them, or He does not
seem to be there, but He is always present and with them.
• These themes tell humans not to worry when others oppose or hurt
you. God gave blessings to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh),
despite people saying that he had been forgotten by God. Muslims
should look at their own lives to see their blessings and not think
they have been given nothing.
• They should not constantly want more than what they have. They
should be grateful to God through prayers, giving charity and
helping those less fortunate than themselves and they should make
people aware of the ways in which God helps them.

PASSAGE 15

Sura 108

The main themes are:


• It was revealed as a consolation to the Prophet (pbuh) and foretold the
destruction of his opponents.
• God has given the Prophet (pbuh) Kawthar, which has various
meanings.
• Most common is a river in paradise, but also has the meaning of
progeny, guidance in abundance, success and his followers.
• God commands His followers to pray to Him.
• To show his gratitude the Prophet (pbuh) in particular, and Muslims in
general, are expected to worship God and display the spirit of sacrifice,
determination and good character.

Sura 108 (IMPORTANCE)


The teachings give an insight into how the relationship between God and the
Prophet (pbuh) has lessons for Muslims. Muslims today are that future
generation of followers that was given to the Prophet (pbuh), and so this sura
gives hope to people in times of need. Future hope is also given with the
promise of the Kawthar in paradise.
God always intervenes in times of difficulty so Muslims should always
remember to look to Him for help and support, and not feel disheartened in
times of difficulty, e.g. during illness or oppression. Muslims should remain
steadfast despite the difficulties or mockeries that they face.
Even prophets were tested and faced hardships but remained steadfast so
Muslims should not despair of God’s mercy when facing hardships.
