Observation

Some of the candidates that chose this question wrote on the life history of Prophet ‘īsa from the biblical point of view. Among them also were those who wrote on his history from Islamic perspective but without touching salient aspects of his life. It was expected of the candidates to have written on his miraculous birth and the fact that his birth by Maryam made him a human being like every other prophet of Allah. Other expected relevant points include the fact that he was neither God nor son of God and that he never taught anything about trinity and was neither killed nor crucified. It is also relevant to have been noted by candidates that he would refute all allegations levelled against him on the Judgement Day. By and large, the performance of candidates was commendable.
