IGCSE Islamiyat topical past papers

Cambridge IGCSE Islamiyat (0493) is examined through two papers of essay questions on the major themes of the Qur’an, the Hadiths, the life of the Prophet (pbuh), the first Islamic community, the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, and the Articles of Faith and Pillars. Working by topic drills the knowledge (AO1) and the evaluation (AO2) each question rewards — with the set passages studied in context — instead of re-sitting whole mixed papers.
