Hope you all had a lovely half term!

This episode is going to cover Prophethood, focussing on Adam, Ibrahim (Abraham) and Muhammad, plus the Imamate - an often weak area in the exam.

Explain two ways in which belief in holy books influences Muslims.

One influence is to follow the teachings of the Quran because the Quran teaches about tawhid.

This is the final book of Allah 

Another influence is to learn about previous prophets because books before the Quran may have lessons from other prophets Muslims can learn from.

For example the gospels of Jesus, called Injil

Explain two ways in which the belief in the gospel influences a Muslim today.

The first one I could say is that it helps a Muslim learn from the life of Jesus which is in the gospel.

This is because the gospel may have lessons from prophet which we can learn from.

Another influence you should believe in Tawheed, that's my third mark.

This is because many Muslims would believe that believe about the Trinity was added to the gospel so they would reject this.

Explain two Muslim teachings about holy books. Refer to sacred writings or another source of belief and teaching in your answer

One belief is that it is one of the six articles of faith in Sunni Islam.

It is the belief that Allah revealed books to different prophets before the Quran.

Another believe that the Quran is the most important source of authority for Muslims.

It is seen as the final book that Allah revealed which has never been changed.

The Quran says ‘this is THE book of which there is no doubt’

This quote shows the Qur’an as THE most important reveletaion because there are no mistakes in it

Explain two Muslim teachings about the Torah. Refer to sacred writings or another source of belief and teaching in your answer

One belief is that the Torah was revealed to Prophet Musa.

It contained the messages that Allah wanted to give to the Jewish people.

The Quran says we sent down the Torah in which was guidance and light.

This shows the Torah was used at the time to receive guidance by Prophet Musa's followers 

Another belief is that the Torah is no longer the words of Allah.

Muslims believe that some of the words and teachings were changed by humans
