    briefly describe the main theme(s) in each passage

    Use AO1 Levels of Response.

  • 1(b)(i)

    Sura 1

    This is recited in every prayer. 'No prayer is accepted without Fatiha'.
    It is a conversation with God and He is the Creator, and God is replying to each verse. Through it, humans communicate with God.
    Muslims use this to ask for guidance (given in the Qur'an and Sunna), for mercy and help, even outside the prayer.
    Submitting to God brings humbleness into lives, and because Muslims are accountable to God they pray to be guided on the straight path.

  • 1(b)(ii)

    Sura 112

    The importance of stressing the Oneness of God is so that people do not take other people or created things as their Lord, so they should not replace God with things like famous people/saints, or place anyone or anything alongside Him.
    It ensures they know that God does not have family, so they will avoid making the mistake of believing in God having children or a partner, or anyone to share in His authority. It gives them clarity and allows them to develop a relationship with God.
    This Sura is considered one third of the Qur’an because it outlines the foundation of a Muslim’s faith and the theme of tawhid is summarised in it.
    It is said alongside the other qul’s as a means of protection.

  • 1(b)(iii)

    Sura 93

    A person may think that God has deserted them, or He does not seem to be there, but He is always present and with them.
    These themes tell humans not to worry when others oppose or hurt you. God gave blessings to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), despite people saying that he had been forgotten by God. Muslims should look at their own lives to see their blessings and not think they have been given nothing.
    They should not constantly want more than what they have. They should be grateful to God through prayers, giving charity and helping those less fortunate than themselves and they should make people aware of the ways in which God helps them.
