Although i have a book of Part II written by Mazhar ul Haq but couldnt read it due to some problems.
I will be thankful. If you will make it easy for me.
It is hard to predict questions and I'm not good at doing so .. However, in addition to topics mentioned by alihashmatkhoso, go through the following topics:
Renaissance, Muslim advancement as a light for Europe, Philosophical movements and philosophers like Ibn e Sina and others, Muslim advancement in science, medicine and architecture like Al-Hambra, Domb of Rock and Cordoba Mosque etc .. Part 2 paper is more likely to be a general one and will be based on mixed topics even from Part 1 .. One question from conquest and spread of Islam in Spain or Africa is also expected .. It is advised to skim through the book of Mazhar ul Haq only for the above mentioned topics just to brainstorm in a short time if you have not read it before ..

No, there is a dichotomy in concepts of the question and knowledge provided in article .. The question asks about administrative structure established or used by different Sultans of Ottoman Empire and the article is mostly based on relatively contemporary or last century of the Empire .. Moreover, there is no reference given to any Sultan and most of the discussion is general about the Empire .. For a good answer you would need to link the information to a source, and structure to a Sultan .. Nonetheless you can get some good selected points from this article about the structure of Ottoman Empire in general ..

Islam in Africa was spread in 3 stages: Containment, Mixing and Reform .. First the Muslim influence was contained by separating Muslim communities, then Islamic ideals were blended with local traditions during the mixing period and lastly the reform period carried forward a wave of spread of Islam in most of the African countries ..

Consequences can be seen as:
1- Africa today has the majority Muslim population among other continents ..
2- The Murabitun movement started from Africa as a result of spread of Islam and provided the manpower for establishment of Muslim political military power into Spain/Europe ..
3- Trans-Saharan trade was intensified by the Muslims of Africa which started enriching the poor African land ..
4- North African traders were primary agents in introducing Islam into West Africa ..
5- Muslim merchant scholars facilitated long distance trade by offering useful knowledge for merchants including contract law, credit, and information networks and also played an important role in non-Muslim kingdoms as advisers ..

Margari Hill in an article on spreading of Islam in Africa writes:

The trans-Saharan trade was an important gateway for the spread of Islam in Africa. The legacy of the medieval empires and nineteenth century reform movements continues to have relevance in present day Senegal, Gambia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, as well as many neighboring communities. Muslim communities have existed in West Africa for over a millennium, pointing to the fact that Islam is a significant part of the African landscape .. !!

Pardon, I forgot to answer this limb in earlier post .. You will need to study architecture part from another book along with P.K Hitti .. Preferably from Mazhar ul Haq .. I was awed by the architecture of Muslims in Spain, so I read that topic with great interest .. The best sources to me on this part were M.M Sharif's 'A history of Muslim Philosophy' and the documentary by Bettany Hughes 'When the Moors ruled in Europe' .. However, as the time is very short right now, you can read it from any of the sources available to you ..

Waalaikum Salam ..
The book will be ready by June/July/August InshaAllah .. If you prepare according to the method I have stated in this thread and from the sources I have mentioned, then you can beat any scoring trend and gain marks on merit .. And this goes for other subjects as well .. However, I would still prefer Islamic History over Indo-Pak ..

Renaissance is a general topic and you would need to mention all factors that influenced it .. Mention Philosophical movement of Muslims and the translated text of Greeks which the Muslims did while West thought it to be blasphemous to read Greek material .. Muslims read and understood Greek texts, translated them and later challenged them by way of their own theories .. Scientific research in schools of Baghdad and advancement in medicine during the Spanish period also need to be mentioned .. In short list all the material and give all credit of European Renaissance to Muslims in such a question ..
