1(b)(i)
Sura 6.75–79
The importance is that it creates a strong link with God and strengthens belief in His Oneness, so Muslims should not look up to anything/anyone else, to help them in their lives and solve their problems.
It shows Muslims how God guided His messengers, in this case Ibrahim. Humans should use their minds to ponder upon God and look up to God for guidance.
God's signs invite Muslims to observe their environment. It creates awe and wonder to help get closer to Him. It reminds humankind that He is the creator of all things, and this realisation helps them turn to Him at all times.
1(b)(ii)
Sura 5.110
These teachings reaffirm for Muslims the prophethood of Jesus and the power of God.
The teachings show humans are capable of great feats but it is God who gives permission, strength and assistance for these, whether it is moon landings, space travel, etc.
Muslims should use these as signs of God’s grace, and believe in His power to control everything and allow things to happen. They should therefore remember Him often, by praying, supplicating or doing good deeds, etc. to ensure they are counted as believers.
1(b)(iii)
Sura 114
Through these verses Muslims get to know the kind of
evils/mischief they have to be wary of, e.g. jinn, humans or internal whisperings such as jealousy.
This means they should be aware of what’s happening to them so they can recognise the signs of mischief and temptations.
Praying and doing good deeds strengthens reliance on God. Reciting this sura with the other ‘qul’s’ is a source of protection.
God is the King so it is Him who people should seek refuge with.
