About the Grade 11 Islam Syllabus
The G.C.E. Ordinary Level Islam syllabus in Sri Lanka is designed to provide students with a deep understanding of Islamic beliefs, history, and ethics. This past paper covers the core units expected in the exam.
Key Topics Covered in this Paper:
Students attempting this paper should have a strong grasp of the following areas:
- Al-Quran and Hadith: Understanding the revelation of the Quran, the compilation history, and the importance of Hadith as a secondary source of law.
- Aqidah (Beliefs): Detailed questions on the Six Articles of Faith (Iman), focusing on Tawheed (Oneness of Allah) and Risalah (Prophethood).
- Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence): Practical rules regarding Salah, Zakat, Sawm (Fasting), and Hajj. Students often find questions regarding inheritance laws and marriage (Nikah) challenging in Part II.
- Islamic History: The life of Prophet Muhammad (SAL) and the governance of the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Khulafa-ur-Rashideen).
- Contemporary Issues: How Islamic teachings apply to modern social problems, emphasizing peace, co-existence, and moral behavior in a multi-religious society like Sri Lanka.
Tips for Answering the Paper
- Part I (MCQ): You have 40 multiple-choice questions. Read the stem of the question carefully. Questions regarding dates of historical events (e.g., the Battle of Badr or the Hijrah) are common.
- Part II (Essay): Select the questions you are most confident in. When answering questions on “Islamic Culture,” ensure you quote relevant Quranic verses or Hadiths to support your answer. This often earns extra marks for “evidence.”
- Time Management: Allocate 1 hour for Part I and 2 hours for Part II. Do not spend too much time on a single MCQ question.
