1(a)[4]
describe their teaching about what Muslims believe, and;
1(b)(i)
The Hadith can be put into practice by:
Conducting all trade and business transactions honestly and fairly.
Not selling substandard goods and not keeping unfair profit margins.
Repaying debts as quickly as possible and showing respite to a debtor if they need extra time for repaying a debt.
The above are some examples, however all valid examples are to be credited which show the implementation of the teaching of this Hadith. Examples can be given to substantiate the answer from the time of the Prophet (pbuh) or the Companions or even present times.
1(b)(ii)
Muslims should follow the teachings of this Hadith by making sure that they use their speech responsibly i.e. do not back bite or slander people etc. They could develop their response by giving the Prophets example of how he never spoke harshly to his enemies etc.
Muslims should be ready at all times to fulfil the needs of their neighbours, which will in turn create strong communal bonds.
Examples of how guests were honoured by the Prophet (pbuh) and his Companions, or examples from present times could be written about to show the implementation of the teachings given in the Hadith.
1(b)(iii)
Modesty can be practiced by taking a moderate/middle path.
A Muslim’s speech, dress, attitude towards life must not be
ostentatious.
They must remain humble.
A Muslim must stay away from everything that would be displeasing to God.
Modesty is also a shield against immorality and candidates could say that it can be practised by lowering one’s gaze in the presence of the opposite gender and by not being overly familiar with them.
1(b)(iv)
The teaching can be implemented by:
Being generous and helpful to God’s creation.
By providing resources for the poor and needy e.g. providing social housing for the homeless, free healthcare to those who need it, providing education to those who cannot access it.
Giving advice and emotional support to widows and orphans is also another way to put the teachings of the Hadith into action.
Examples could be given to develop the answer further.
