    describe their teaching about what Muslims believe

    Use AO1 Levels of Response.

  • 1(b)(i)

    Muslims should resist giving place to pride in their hearts. They should follow the example of the Prophet (pbuh) who despite being granted prophethood remained humble and upon assuming leadership of Madina and even after the conquest of Makka never let pride enter his heart and remained grateful to God.

    The Qur’an tells us that Iblis was thrown out of paradise for disobeying God’s command. It was his pride that did not allow him to bow to Adam as he was asked to by God. Muslims must therefore be watchful and make sure they do not give place to pride in their hearts and mind.

  • 1(b)(ii)

    A Muslim who wants to attain the status of a martyr must always be engaged in performing righteous deeds to attain God’s pleasure. This could be done by:

    working honestly and supporting those in need
    by looking after the environment
    by fulfilling all the Pillars of Islam

    Also, by being engaged in jihad fi sabhi-illah and keeping one’s faith during trials and sufferings will enable Muslims to gain the status of a martyr.

  • 1(b)(iii)

    The teaching of this Hadith can be put into action by every Muslim by responding to the need of others by:

    Sending donations or clothing or other necessities to refugees who have been displaced from their own countries on account of war or natural calamity
    By providing warm clothing to those who are without them in winter months, volunteering to work at food banks to provide hot meals or food parcels to those in need are some other ways in which the Hadiths teachings could be put into practice
    Even wishing others well is an implementation of this Hadith. A Muslim must never take pleasure in another’s misfortune and must be willing to come to the aid of Muslims and humanity at large

  • 1(b)(iv)

    A Muslims action must be based on sincerity. In all aspects of life, the intention behind every action should be to gain the pleasure of God. If a Muslim helps financially towards building a mosque the purpose should not be to be on the mosque committee but to build a place of worship in God’s name.

    All valid examples given to support the practice of the Hadith should be credited.
