Observation

This question which bothered on the definition of Sharī‘ah and its relevance to Muslims was answered by candidates in their majority. Despite this, they could not point out some salient points which include the following:
-           The literal meaning of Sharī‘ah as a path leading to a watering area.
-           The relevance of Sharī‘ah as the only constitution of life which fits into all climes and times.
-           Sharī‘ah as solution to all problems of life.
-           Sharī‘ah ensures probity and accountability and it
-           guarantees inviolability of fundamental human rights. 
By and large, candidates’ performance in the question was below average.
