INTRODUCTION This Study Guide has been compiled to help the students of the Weekend Schools of Muslim Community Center (MCC) prepare for the Board Examination. As already announced, a Board Examination will be administered to all students in the 4th, 7th and 9th grades. The students will have to pass this Board Examination to be eligible for promotion to the next higher grade. Parents of students in these three grades are urged to go over this introductory chapter with their child before proceeding to the relevant subject specific material in the following chapters. 1.1 What is the Board Examination? The Board Examination, which is intended to standardize and improve the quality of education at the Weekend Schools of MCC, will be administered in May/June of each academic year in lieu of the Final (2nd Semester) Examination that is usually administered towards the end of each academic year. The Board Examination is only for the students in 4th, 7th and 9th grades; students of all other grades will have their usual Final (2nd Semester) Examination. The Academic Council for the Weekend Schools of MCC has formed the Board of Examinations that will supervise the Examination Committee in-charge of administering the Board Examination. The students will be tested in the following subjects for this examination: 1) Seerah/History 2) Theology (currently called Iman, Ibadaat and Akhlaq) 3) Nazirah/Tajwid 4) Qur’an The Board Examination will be a comprehensive examination. In other words, students will be tested in all the material taught in the school from 1st grade through the student’s present grade. For example, a 4th grader would be tested in material taught in grades 1 through 4, a 7th grader would be tested in material taught in grades 1 through 7, and a 9th grader would be tested in material taught in grades 1 through 9. Another important difference between the usual Final Examination and the Board Examination is that the examination may be set and graded by someone other than the student’s regular teacher. Also, the Board Examination will be a common examination across all the Weekend Schools of MCC. In other words, the students of a particular grade in one school would be administered the same examination as their counterparts in the other schools. 1.2 Board Examination Preparation This section gives an overview of this Study Guide and provides information that would be helpful in preparing for the Board Examination. Since we anticipate that the preparation for this examination would take several months, parents are advised to have their child start preparing early. Note: If the words “4th Grade Edition” or “7th Grade Edition” appear in the header of each page of this Study Guide, sections pertaining to 7th and/or 9th grades may not be included in this edition of the guide. 1.2.1 Theology (Iman, Ibadaat & Akhlaq) and Seerah/History The subject that has been known as Theology to most students and parents in the past has been renamed as Iman, Ibadaat and Akhlaq. This renaming has not changed the content of the course. This change is independent of the Board Examination. The format of this Study Guide reflects this change. Thus, the chapter for Theology in this Study Guide has been split into two sub-sections called “Iman and Ibadaat” and “Akhlaq”. Since the change is relatively new, the word Theology will also be used in this guide to avoid confusion. The Seerah/History and Theology (Iman, Ibadaat & Akhlaq) questions that will be asked in the Board Examination will be similar (in content) to the list of questions provided in Chapter numbers 2 & 3 of this Study Guide. The actual examination questions may not be identical (word for word) to the ones provided herein; they may be twisted around to test the student’s understanding of the material. In order to answer the actual examination questions successfully, the students would need to understand the underlying material instead of simple memorization of the answers provided herein. MCC’s Weekend Schools Chicago, IL and Morton Grove, IL 4 Board Examination Study Guide – 4th Grade Edition Revision: E Chapter #s 2 and 3 are subdivided into sections pertaining to 4th, 7th and 9th grades. The 4th graders’ examination questions will be from the material provided in the 4th Grade section. Since this will be a comprehensive examination, some of the 7th graders’ examination questions will be from the material provided in the 4th Grade section, while the majority of their questions will be from the material in the 7th Grade section. Similarly, some of the 9th graders’ examination questions will be from the material provided in the 4th Grade and 7th Grade sections, while the majority of their questions will be from the material provided in the 9th Grade section. With the exception of those questions that ask a student to recite something, the examinations for both subjects will be written examinations (not oral) for all the three grades. The correct answers for all the questions are underlined in this Study Guide. In the examination, in case of multiple choice questions, the student is expected to circle/select only one, most correct and/or complete, answer. In case where

Specifically, the work explores “fatwas” and “other” similar documents as well as “guidance” documents (referred to as FOGs) that were disseminated in March–April 2020 on the internet and social media platforms for British Muslim consumption. We confine our materials to FOGs produced only in English. Our study takes its cue from the notion that the existence of a variety of documents created a sense of foggy ambiguity for British Muslims in matters of religious practice. From a linguistic angle, the study seeks to identify (a) the underlying reasons behind the titling of the documents; and (b) the construction of discourses in the documents. Our corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis (CA-CDA) found noticeable patterns that hold symbolic capital in the fatwa register. We also found that producers of “other” documents imitate the fatwa register in an attempt to strengthen the symbolic capital of their documents.

  • The Quality of Life, Social Care and Family Relationships of Older Unmarried Saudi Women Living in Jeddah: a Qualitative Study
    The Quality of Life, Social Care and Family Relationships of Older Unmarried Saudi Women Living in Jeddah: A Qualitative Study Seham Hassan Salamah Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Sociology Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences University of Surrey September 2017 82,201 - word count Abstract __________________________________________________________________ Changes in the Saudi family structure are having profound effects on the current cohort of older Saudi women. This is reflected in living arrangements whereby family patterns have been transformed from extended to nuclear ones. Previous social research has not examined the current situation of older Saudi women, with little known about their Quality of Life (QoL). This study explores the QoL of older unmarried Saudi women by analysing their family relationships, social lives and daily activities. It examines how family relationships, social integration, health and financial aspects are influenced by social policies and gender-related issues. The study is based on in-depth interviews with a purposive sample of 50 widowed, divorced and never-married women aged 60-75 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from a range of socio-economic classes; 25 lived alone and 25 lived in inter-generational households. Gender segregation was a decisive factor that adversely affected the QoL of interviewees. They were dependent on their family or maids socially, instrumentally, and some financially on the ‘Goodwill’ of their children or relatives. Older divorced women were particularly likely to experience financial and social problems. Lower class and many middle class older women who lived alone were dissatisfied and suffered from depression, isolation and loneliness, whereas higher class women living alone demonstrated greater autonomy, independence and life satisfaction.

  • Taleemul Haq (Teachings of Islam)
    1 Taleemul Haq (Teachings of Islam) Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Allah Subhanu Ta'aala this 2008 edition Taleemul Haq, originally compiled by Shabbir Ahmed E. Desai has been totally revised by the staff of The Islamic Bulletin. The book is now concise, informative, and perhaps most important of all, enlightening. The text is more fluid and readily understood, such as the use of numbers, titles and subtitles, and minor textual rearrangements, including helpful weblinks. Finally we have provided the reader with transliteration of the Duuas (supplications) and Quranic verses in Arabic, thereby accommodating those unable to read Arabic text. We can only hope that what we have done will prove to be useful to the reader in his or her study of this book. You can also download a free PDF version book from the The Islamic Bulletin website at www.islamicbulletin.com under free e-books May Allah, accept this effort and lead us by means of it to the Way of His Pleasure.
