Students! Around 48 hours left to revise paper 2 syllabus. I will recommend following things to utilize the remaining time in the best way:
1. First of all, you need to do the practice papers I gave you in the alphabetical sequence like A, B...
2. If you have already done them, then you need to revise the topics given there again.
3. Learn the Ahadith of syllabus, the easy ones, to quote in your answer of Q2 (a) if required.
4. You need to revise Ijma Qiyas for this paper as well, which I have given in Book 2. Here, you need to relate them with Hadith in legal thinking.
5. You need to refresh the compilation of the Quran as well as the last two stages are important events of H. Abu Bakr and H. Uthman’s caliphate.
6. Students ask a lot about Sunni Shia collections. So I recommend covering the maximum syllabus, especially the compulsory one. If it is too difficult for you, so at least do Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Jami Tirmidhi, and Al- Kafi.
7. If you are going to attempt Articles of Faith question, then you must give many references to support your points.
8. In caliphs quotations aren’t there but you need to remember the names of commanders, number of troops etc. which I have highlighted in my notes.
9. In pillars besides methods, spiritual and communal benefits are also to be done in detail as they can give a 10 marker on benefits as well.
10. Go through the tips I gave before P1 and follow them strictly in this paper as well.
At last, I request you not to become overconfident or take Paper 2 easy. First, cover predicted papers and then do as much as possible. It is just one day, but you will feel proud after scoring A* or A the whole life.
Yours sincerely,
Zafar Alam
