Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    Define taqwa.

    Model answer

    It is awareness of God that shapes conduct, often translated as God-consciousness.

  2. 2

    Define ihsan as the Prophet explained it.

    Model answer

    It is to worship God as though you see Him, knowing that even though you do not see Him, He sees you.

  3. 3

    Why is obedience the foundation of Muslim ethics?

    Model answer

    Islam means submission, so the good is defined by what the creator commands rather than by human preference.

  4. 4

    What does the Qur’an command alongside obedience to God?

    Model answer

    Obedience to the Messenger, and to those placed in authority among the believers.

    Model answer

    There is no obedience owed to a creature where it would mean disobeying the Creator.

    How does the Qur’an connect love of God with following the Prophet?

    Model answer

    Those who claim to love God are told to follow the Prophet, and God will then love them in return.
