PREPARING FOR EXAMS IN ISLAMIC WAY

on Sunday, March 3, 2013

Exams are the trial for assessing the capability of the student for the whole course of studies. There are several ways to prepare for exams, but the Islamic way is the best one. It might sound different that there is some Islamic way for the preparation of exams, but the ideology of Islam enlightened as it is a complete way of life. Islam is not only particular for  faith and worshiping, but also a practical way of doing routine work including the preparation of examinations. Each and every corner of practical life is guided by the light of Islam. For the preparation of exams in Islamic way, it is essential for the student to be a good Muslim who is practicing all duties called “fraiz”, well in time and with true faith. For exams first of all the student should wake up for the “Namaz” (prayer) of “Tahajjud” (late night prayer). The time of such a prayer starts from mid night to an hour before sunrise. After doing ablution called “wazu” it takes just five minutes to offer the said prayer and the student will be ready for exams preparation. Due to ablution all the idleness, vertigo or sleep will be vanished. The late night prayer will induce harmony in the heart and the peace and dimness of night will let the student give full absorption in studies. Start with the name of Allah and recite few verses from Holy book of Quran.

The way of preparation is to first read the subject only for sake of understanding instead of memorizing. Then repeat it in the same way by starting with recitation. Then, if necessary write it down and counter check the process of learning. Start writing with the name of Allah and first of all write the number 786 at the top of the paper which is a symbolic representation of the Holy name of Allah. For a single uninterrupted session of two to three hours is sufficient for an average student to cover or revise at least the one fourth part of his syllabus. After two hours there will be time for Morning Prayer called “Fajjar” just before the dawn. For the male students this prayer has to be offered in a Mosque (Masjid) while the females have to offer prayer at home. It requires ablution again which make the student fresh again.

The way to a Mosque is a sort of morning walk, which let the student gasp in the fresh atmosphere free of contamination of clatter and smoke of traffic which in terms makes the student healthier and makes the body ready for the tedious routine of exam preparation. After this prayer the student should do recitations of the Holy book Quran particularly the verses from the “Surah Yaseen” and “Surah Fateh”. These verses are greatly regarded as a sort of prayer and means for success. After this the student should sit in the calm and spiritual environment of the “Masjid” and start the study again in the same manner until the time of breakfast. In this way till the time of exams the student will be ready for the question of any type from anywhere from the contents of your course.
