Observation

This question requested the candidates to point out major lessons that can be deduced from the Chapter of Help (an-Naṣr) and the Chapter of Unbelievers (al-Kafīrūn). Some of these lessons include the fact that victory and triumph come from the Creator (Allah) alone, perseverance and endurance are needed to determine one’s faith in God, sinners should always seek the forgiveness of Allah, Islam as a religion should not be compromised, attacking the faith of others is not acceptable in Islam and seeking advice and counseling gives room for better understanding of Islam.   However, some of the candidates who went for this question just wrote the two chapters in Arabic or transliteration and gave the English translation without mentioning the lessons as required by the question. As such, candidates’ performance was just fair.
