Observation

Quite a number of candidates who went for this question performed well in their responses. Most of them highlighted the benefits of having a good friend by making reference to some of the benefits they have gained through some of their friends. The question appeared simple for most of the candidates except for a few who could not differentiate between the concepts Sadāqah (Honesty) and Sadaqah (Charity) Sidq (Truth) instead of writing on honesty in friendship those candidates wrote on either honesty in charity or honesty in telling the truth. These are not expected from the candidates.
