A Word from the Teacher
The Class X Theology (Sunni) syllabus is highly chronological and biographical. The first three Periodic Tests are meticulously divided to cover the first three Rashidun Caliphs consecutively.
For your Periodic Tests (10 marks each), the questioning pattern is identical across PT1, PT2, and PT3. You will have two 1-mark Short Answers and four 2-mark Short Answers. There are no long essays in the periodic tests. Focus on memorizing key events, such as the battles fought during their reigns, their personal virtues (فضائل), and the circumstances of their successions.
The Annual Examination (40 marks) introduces two massive new topics not covered in the Periodic Tests: The life of Hazrat Ali (RA) and Risala Diniyat (covering Salah, Fasting, Zakat, and Hajj). Together, these two new topics account for 28 out of the 40 marks. Ensure you dedicate the majority of your final revision to these areas.
