Eight topics, one unit. The divergent Muslim practices set side by side, the key ideas connected, and every source of wisdom and authority the examiner expects, all in one place.
How do Muslims turn belief into daily practice, and where exactly do Sunni and Shi'a Muslims part?
Every (d) in this unit turns on the divergent Muslim practices: usually Sunni and Shi'a, set side by side exactly as the examiner wants. 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 practice at a time. Set Sunni and Shi'a against each other: five Pillars or ten acts, five prayer times or three, 2.5% or a further 20%, and name the exact point they part. 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 named surah beats a vague paraphrase, fasting 'so that you may become righteous' (Qur'an 2:183), not 'it says fasting is good for you'. 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 the Arabic terms out in full, and getting the percentages and the prayer names exactly right, self-scored /5 before opening any notes. Then the same five at +1 week and +1 month.
One deck per topic, LM_L01 to LM_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 source) and Task 5 (the Sunni/Shi'a practice 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 Living the Muslim Life: 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.
