I dedicate this posting to all of my students of Aitchison College Quranic Passages (Paper 1, Q: 1) Frequently Asked Questions
Q.1 what should be included in the main theme of the Quranic passages?
Main theme is the central idea of the passage, around which the whole passage revolves. There can be more than one theme. Just like in Urdu, there is Markazi khayal, the only difference is theme can be more than one. This part requires: Teaching Lessons Belief Theme As for the meaning of reflection ,it means how the sura talks about the themes in a particular manner e.g. Sura 112 talks about the themes of God in Himself, His Oneness, His uniqueness which may be different to the way its talked about in other suras.
Q.3 How many Passages are set in the paper and how many to attempt?
There are three quranic passages set in the paper and the candidates have to attempt any two. Each passage is of [4] marks.
Q.4 there are three major themes of Quranic Passages. Is it necessary that passage will set in the paper from each part of them?
This is not necessarily true. It is sole discretion of the examiner to set the quranic passage out of any three phases. So students should not take risk and he should go through all the Quranic passages.
There is no hard and fast rule for the prescribed length of the answer. Each part contain 2 marks and it should not be more than 5 lines: each line containing 8-10 words. Examiner will not mark the quantity but he is more inclined towards the quality of the work.
Q.10 In specimen paper, each part of the question carries [4] marks while we are taught it as of [2] marks.
Yes this is right. A candidate has to attempt two Quranic passages out of three and the question is divided into two parts: (a) and (b). it means that the candidate has to attempt two (a) and two (b) parts. The examiner prefers to check both (a) parts together and both (b) parts together and he will award the marks out of [4]. So it is strongly recommended to the candidates to attempt both (a) parts together (one after another) and both (b) parts together (one after another) to facilitate the examiner in checking.
