Default Study Plan of Islamic History & Culture

Hello aspirants,

This has been my strategy to prepare a study plan before studying any subject. I shall upload each study plan of my optional subjects in their relevant threads. Let me elaborate a little what this plan contains and what is its basis.

Study Plan is actually an in-depth analysis of Past papers of the subject. Based on these, the subject has been divided into areas which are recurring and most important from the examination point of view. Thus, if you keep this Study Plan before you, it may obviate the need for referring to subjective part of the past papers as it contains all questions from 2000 onwards.

I want reiterate that its my own analysis and it has so far proved very helpful in my preparation. Hence, the only purpose behind sharing them is helping other aspirants.

The mods may at their discretion make this thread sticky for aspirants to benefit from it.

An ordinary student with no previous study of this subject may require on average 30-40 days for reading, notes making, memorizing & revision etc. Extraordinary student would require less time and vice versa.

Yes. It would be of tremendous help. Must read in Urdu for the sake of thorough understanding of the events and their relevant stories/anecdotes.

Dear Zahid,

If you are a bookworm, and would like to read a detailed account of Islamic History, then read this book:

Title: History of the Arabs
Author: Philip K. Hitti


Conversely, if you prefer a brief but compact version of Islamic History, you may read this book:

Title: Islamic History
Author: K. Ali



[Delayed reply may be pardoned.]

It's also a noteworthy book. If you read it carefully, you will find many allusions and some quotes from Philip K. Hitti's book. Just go ahead, give it a complete reading. Then, for adding some ornaments to your notes or your answer in exam, you may like to collect some words of wisdom (quotes) from K.Ali's book, Hitti's book or any other source including internet.

Get the Study Plan attached in the 1st post above. You will find the list of topics in each section. Start preparing one by one. That's how I find it easy.
I hope it helps you as well.
