@ sherry.j & Last Island as well

Exactly.

Now my point about the arrangement of this stamp.

This stamp was to the people who were not Muslims so the Prophethood of Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) can't be imposed on them.

Secondly, Prophet (P.B.U.H.) sent those letters in capacity of a Muslim ruler not as a Prophet. The first Foreign interaction with the Kings and Emperors of World. In this regard the arrangment can, witfully because, of this verse..

Surah Nisaa, Verse No. 59.

"O ye who believe! Obey ALLAH and Obey the APOSTAL, and those Charged with authority among you.

Now therefore Allah in first place, Rasool in Second place, and Name of Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) in the last as the one with authority and rule of the first Islamic welfare state.

If the Arabs can mean "Muhammad Raool Ullah" by Saying "Muhammad Rasool ullah" than why do they use Allah, Rasool, Muhammad instead?

(Allah Forbid any mistake)

@courageneverdies

It is our apathy that we make issues over simple and comprehensible things. It is matter of showing honour and esteem to the relation of the Holy Prophet (BPUH) and Almighty Allah. I accept your statement and you are also right in our own capacity.

For instance if we hear or read the name of Holy Prophet then it is obligatory on us to recite Daru-Sharif – and three times is enough to recite Darud-Sharif when the name of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is repeated more than three times. Now, if someone really loves Holy Prophet (PBUH), he/she will recite Darud-Sharif again and again to express great respect for the Holy Prophet (PBUH).

Similarly, it was the love of Prophet (PBUH) which he expressed for his Creator. Furthermore, Islamiat paper is concerned with Muslims not to non-Muslims. I expect the matter will not be prolonged more. Plainly, one must accept the facts because reasons and argumentations in the matter of religion will lead a person off the track.

Questions that why to write in such a way, why Arab says like this – there is no answer to such why. Muslims are called believers because they believe without reason and arguments. We have never seen but we have believe on Almighty Allah, angles, Heaven, His Prophets. Do you have answer of these whys?

My Allah (SWT) give us guidance.

@crownprince.and @courage..thanku bro,but i STRONGLY disagree with courage...all the letters were an invitation to ISLAM-MOHAMMAD mustafa(s.a.w.w.) was a PROPHET to the fullest...ROMAN and IRANIAN empires were called for ISLAM-not to engulf the political hegemony ov ARAbs but the religion ov TRUTH-ISLAM was a message-a message that had to be delivered to every hearing ear-even if they had sealed senses..im sorry but i MOURN the ignorance ov our UMMAH-this is a bohtaan on our prophet that he was a king wen he went to MADINAH-why are you muslims reading,writng,and even thinking as the westerns wish....?read ORIENTALISM please...read MOHAMMAD rasulullah please--read "the road to makkah"please...read dr.MOHAMMAD hamidullah the scholar who according to DEOBAND,nadwa tul ulama jamia millia islamia and all indian aalims is the 5th IMAM ov ahl_e_sunnah.,inspite ov the fact that he left the subcntinnt years back.

Well, If we are supposed to read both urdu and english version of the question, then it will not be a wise thing on our part as well as on the part of the FPSC. Because there can't be any difference about what was asked in urdu or english. Otherwise the candidates who attempted in english might have answered a different question and the candidates attempted in urdu might have answered some thing else. So it makes no sense. As far as the answer of the MCQ 13 is concerned, yes I agree with you that there is no use of crying over spilt milk, and we should not waste our time discussing it again and again. Whatever the answer is, the correct choice has been feeded to the checking machine and it will mark it right/wrong accordingly.

well, this paper, for sure, disturbed the very sequence of good papers, i had.... Extremely unexpected and tricky paper with tough objective, indicating that Islamiat paper is no more to consider a pieace of cake....

I witnessed the desperate faces coming out of my hall, lolx, the same was obviously, my own reaction....

although i tried and attempted 70% of the paper relevantly but the other 30% alongwith objective really gave a disheartened feeling.....

nw m thinking how ll they pass us on the criteria of logics and arguments or relevant quotes verses ahadiths and material....

yea you are right rishz, but lets see, we have done our part by attempting the paper in best of our understanding. Rest is their choice and our destiny.

while the pattern of Islamiat paper has changed considerably over the past few years, it remains a scoring subject! i believe that if a candidate has attempted all the questions and the answers are complete (no matter what argument you make and how many or no verse/hadith you quote), you will definitely pass this paper! And if you have got 10-12 objectives right, you may cross even 60!
Finally, since it's a compulsory paper, it neutralizes the competition!

@ All.

Don't worry about Islamiat paper. When last year we had attempted Islamiat paper, we were worried about from where to get the passing marks. But you see ppl scored really well in Islamiat last time. Same would be the case this time. Islamiat paper was just to surprise the candidates, nothing much to worry. 8 marks out of 16 in 5 questions!! This makes it 40, so it is not difficult for the examiner to pass us.

@ shallowater

I think the point is not just to score passing marks...coz anybody with adequate study wud be able to do that..the point is to score high enough to have a fighting chance in securing a place in ur area of choice...so that's wat has me worried the most...

@ Flavia.

You can score well in your optionals. Islamiat is a compulsory paper, every one is in the same boat. Don't worry.
