Examiners must mark the first candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the last. • Mark schemes should be applied positively. Candidates must be rewarded for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions. • Examiners should mark according to the mark scheme not according to their perception of where the grade boundaries may lie. • There is no ceiling on achievement. All marks on the mark scheme should be used appropriately. • All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded. Examiners should always award full marks if deserved, i.e. if the answer matches the mark scheme. Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark scheme. • Where some judgement is required, mark schemes will provide the principles by which marks will be awarded and exemplification may be limited. • When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark scheme to a candidate’s response, the team leader must be consulted. • Crossed out work should be marked UNLESS the candidate has replaced it with an alternative response. Question number Answer Reject Mark 1(a) AO1 3 marks Award one mark for each point identified up to a maximum of three. • Allah’s mercy was demonstrated when he gave Ibrahim and Sara a son (1) • Defeating the Pharaoh to free the Jewish people (1) • Instructing Muslims to treat orphans and beggars well (1) • Establishing rules to protect the vulnerable in times of war (1) • When Ayyub was tested and refused to turn from Allah his wealth and family were restored (1).

Award one further mark for any relevant source of wisdom or authority. • From the life of Prophet Muhammad Muslims may learn the importance of worshipping the one true God (1). ‘And we will never associate with our Lord anyone.’ (Surah 72:2) (1). This teaches Muslims that the Prophets were focussed solely on the will of Allah (1) • Muslims may learn the importance of obedience to Allah in all things (1). Muhammad is described as ‘An excellent pattern for anyone whose hope is in Allah and the Last Day and [who] remembers Allah often’ (Surah 33:21) (1), showing that Muhammad’s obedience to Allah acts as an example to all Muslims (1) • Muslims may learn the importance of treating others with respect and kindness (1). The Hadith teaches that ‘None will have faith until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself’ (Sahih al-Bukhari 13) (1), demonstrating that love must be extended to everyone (1).
