Islamic Studies Paper 2 Nov/Dec 2015

Question 5

    1. Enumerate four rights of children in Islam and explain how they could be abused.


Observation

In the responses of some candidates who attempted this question, they listed right to observe Ramadan and perform ṣalāt among other pillars of Islam as the rights of children in Islam. As for some others who correctly stated such rights as access to inheritance; feeding; education and shelter, they did not explain how those rights could be abused. However, some of the candidates did justice to the two aspects of the question and scored very good marks.
