HOW TO WRITE THE ESSAY<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. As I always advise, do start your introductory paragraph with an attractive sentence. The discussion in the start of the paragraph would be general which would become extremely topic-specific in the form of Thesis Statement at the end of the paragraph.<\/li>\n
  2. While describing the concept of \u201cUmmah,\u201d you should use references from the Holy Quran and Hadith to clarify and support it. It is allowed to quote the text in Arabic, provided it is followed by its English translation as well.<\/li>\n
  3. Describe the heading \u201cChallenges posed by the modern age\u201d in at least four paragraphs. Use of facts and figures in this part is highly recommended. When quoting data, it is always imperative to mention the source also.<\/li>\n
  4. 8-10 paragraphs, at least, should be used to discuss the responsibilities of the \u201cUmmah\u201d in the modern age. Quotations, data, references from famous books and from international reports, Quranic verses and Hadith; all would be used in this part to substantiate the arguments and convince the examiner of the high quality of the material.<\/li>\n
  5. While writing on causes, you should narrate your stance in the very first sentence of the paragraph and in the next 3-4 sentences, you should explain and justify it with the help of relevant material. Repetition of ideas is strictly prohibited here.<\/li>\n
  6. Recommendations should be highly practicable and logical. They should not contain a mere wish list. While giving recommendations, also suggest their implementation mechanism.<\/li>\n
  7. While writing the essay, quote practical examples from the prevalent situation of the Muslim world. However, be highly objective while criticizing or appreciating the policies or role of any state particularly on religious grounds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
