Eight topics, one unit. The divergent Muslim views, and the non-religious ones the examiner expects here, set side by side, the key ideas connected, and every source of wisdom and authority in one place.
What does Islam teach about crime, punishment and forgiveness, and where do Muslims, and their non-religious neighbours, part company?
Every (d) in this unit turns on the divergent views · traditional beside reformist Muslim, beside Muslims living under UK law, and beside the non-religious voice this paper expects. Pick a topic, then tap a position to see what it claims. The top-marks move and a 7-minute discussion question travel with each topic.
Tap a circle, or use Tab and Enter, to explore each position.
Top marks are not more content: they are three habits applied to every topic. Spot them and every (d) in this unit opens the same way.
Never one view at a time. Set the traditional application of Shari'ah beside the reformist reading, beside Muslims who accept the law of the land, and on this unit beside the humanist, Amnesty or UK legal view too. That comparison IS the analysis the (d) is marked on.
Chain each point (claim → because → this means → therefore), steelman the other side, weigh BOTH arguments, a strength AND a limit, then justify the conclusion.
A correctly named source beats a vague paraphrase: 'uphold justice' (Surah 4:135), not 'the Qur'an says be fair'; the Human Rights Act 1998, not 'human rights law'. One learned line, placed precisely, is what turns a (c) from 3 marks into 5.
Each panel is a topic's key idea: the connective explanation that links the key words into one argument, with the source of wisdom and authority the (c) question expects. Learn the chain, not the list.
Everything for the unit, in one place: each topic's lesson deck and workbook pages, plus the unit-wide documents. The file each button points to is named underneath it.
LINKS list near the bottom, and paste each SharePoint or OneDrive share link once. Buttons with no link show as "Link not set".
Use the resources in this order: the same loop as the lessons, so revision feels like coming home.
Five recall questions from memory: spelling Hudud, Qisas and Ta'zir in full, and naming who holds each position, self-scored /5 before opening any notes. Then the same five at +1 week and +1 month.
One deck per topic, CP_L01 to CP_L08. Cover the definitions, say them aloud, then reveal. The deck is the shortest route back into the topic.
The Lesson Companion has the same task numbers as the board. Redo Task 3 (the key surah) and Task 5 (the capital punishment debate) from memory.
Chain · steelman · weigh both (a strength AND a limit) · justify. Check yourself against the Model Answer Bank before you look at any mark scheme.
A full review of Crime and Punishment: all eight topics as one argument. Best watched before you revise, then again to check recall.

Flip a card to check yourself. Switch between key terms (term → meaning) and divergent views (view → what it claims), and filter by topic.
