Sirah and Islamic civilisation practice

Sirah practice questions with answers

You have read the sirah lessons and want questions with explained answers.

These eight original questions practise the skills from Sirah and Islamic civilisation. Write your own answer before opening each one.

Answers show one acceptable approach. Check names, details and order against your prescribed textbook.

Questions

Question 1. Put these in order: Battle of Uhud, Hijrah, Battle of Badar, Madinah Charter.

Answer

Hijrah, Madinah Charter, Battle of Badar, Battle of Uhud. Credit goes to the right order. Check that your textbook lists the same order.

Question 2. Give a one-phrase cause link between the Hijrah and the Madinah Charter.

Answer

After the move to Madinah, the settled community needed agreed terms for living alongside others, which the Charter provided. The link is “a new community needs agreed terms”. Use the wording your textbook supports.

Question 3. Name the four parts of a contribution answer.

Answer

Who, what, setting and effect. Name the scholar or centre, state the contribution, say where and why it arose, and say what difference it made. Setting is the part students most often miss.

Question 4. Improve this answer: “Ibn Sina.” The question asked for a contribution to learning.

Answer

A name alone shows recall only. Add what was contributed, for example writing on medicine, and its effect, for example being studied by later physicians. Check the exact contribution in your textbook.

Question 5. State one event from the Battle of Uhud and one lesson, in separate sentences.

Answer

Event: some archers left their positions during the battle. Lesson: this teaches the importance of discipline and obeying instructions. Use “because” to link them. Check the details in your textbook.

Question 6. A student writes: “The Hijrah was a great event and we should be patient.” What is missing?

Answer

There is no fact, only a lesson. Add the event: the Muslims moved to Madinah after a period of pressure in Makkah. Then link the lesson: this teaches patience because the move followed that pressure.

Question 7. Write a point, evidence and explanation for a quality shown in the Hijrah.

Answer

Point: careful planning. Evidence: preparations were made before leaving Makkah, using the details your textbook gives. Explain: this shows planning because the journey was prepared in advance. Each part does a separate job.

Question 8. You cannot remember the source of a point. What should you write?

Answer

State the point and give the event or fact you remember, without inventing a source. A correct point with a correct fact earns more than a wrong citation. Check the source with your teacher afterwards.

If you got these wrong

If Questions 1 and 2 went wrong, revisit building a sourced historical sequence. For Questions 3 and 4, use explaining contributions in context.

For Questions 5 and 6, read separating events from lessons drawn. For Questions 7 and 8, see supporting an answer with curriculum evidence. A teacher can read your answers in online one-to-one Pendidikan Islam tuition.

Common questions

Are these past-year SPM questions?

No. They are original questions for practice. They use the same skills as exam questions but are not copied from any paper and do not predict what will appear.

Do the answers replace my textbook?

No. Facts, names and order come from your prescribed textbook. The model answers show structure. Check every detail against your book.

How long should each question take?

Give a short recall question about two minutes and an explanation question about five. Start untimed, then add a limit based on the marks in your own paper.

What if my answer differs from the model?

Check whether it has the right order, a fitting contribution or lesson, and a link. Different wording can still earn credit when the facts match your textbook.
