You must answer Question 1, Question 2, and two other questions.

1 Choose any two of the following Hadiths, and:

(a) describe their teaching about what Muslims believe; [4]

(b) explain how Muslims can put these teachings into action. [4]

(i)

The believers are like a single man; if his eye is affected he is affected, and if his head is
affected he is all affected.

(ii)

The world is the believer’s prison and the unbeliever’s paradise.

(iii)

One who manages the affairs of the widow and the poor man is like the one who exerts
himself in the way of Allah, or the one who stands for prayer in the night or fasts in the
day.

(iv)

Every person’s every joint must perform a charity every day the sun comes up: to act
justly between two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or
hoisting up his belongings onto it is a charity; a good word is a charity; every step you
take to prayers is a charity; and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity.
