Islamic studies in Urdu or in English?
 

I am super confused about attempting Islamic studies either in Urdu or in English ? Seniors please guide me in this regard. Personally I am inclined to take it in Urdu but some seniors say that taking it English might fetch me more marks, is that true ?

1. I have studied it in Urdu in all my academic years.
2. I have different Islamic books in Urdu at my home, if I needed extra help.
3. I am more inclined towards attempting questions regarding basic concepts (which I have studied in Urdu during school years) rather than current affairs.

With a little more preparation one can easily attempt it in English. I am just saving that extra time because I already have time consuming optionals like IR, Sociology and a history subject.

Urdu is more scoring

It doesn't matter if you attempt Islamiat paper in Urdu or English. Plus point to go for English is that you have 11 subjects which are in English and you already have the pace in English writing. I think there is no other difference.
and if you attempt in Urdu, it would be easy for remembering ayat and ahadees, because verses should be copied exactly.
lastly, examiners will never give marks on attempting the paper in English or in urdu. As, FPSC has given this option.
rest is upon you :) thanks

Most of the people adopt Islamiyat in English because they have writing practice in English as all other subjects are in English, but the fact is that Urdu gives more marks as compared to English.

Hi Kashif,
Though both mediums are good for Islamiyat but I prefer Urdu for a reason. As we quote verses and hadiths, we spend more time in thinking peculiar words for quoting the translation of the verses.
But with the Urdu language, we don't face such difficulty and fluently we can attempt all the questions.
We gain marks by our systematic and comprehensive approach to the topic, not by the language.
Hope it helps.
All the best.

Thanks

I am also thinking about switching it with urdu in my last attempt.

You attempted it in English for last two times so English is better , specially if you want to save time. I scored 58 last time in it and I think opting it in English is better than Urdu. I went for English too.

And if you are thinking that you will just write some Gupshup type things in Urdu and that you are good at it then it's a mistake, because they read your papers so not a good idea. And main problem with opting it in Urdu is this that you will not be able to write Urdu fluently ,on other side you can write English easily as other 11 subjects are in English. So if other eleven subjects are in English then why to go for Islamic studies in Urdu ?

Regards.

Actually, I have opted punjabi as well. So I can write in urdu. But the thing I'm concerned about is, I may not get failed as they say in urdu, they either fail you or give you way better scores. Whereas in English, they don't fail you but they don't give good scores either. Also, in English you don't have to mention the Arabic text for references but in urdu it's a must. It's my last attempt so opting in urdu might be risky..
