Pakistan Studies, Islamiyat and Urdu: Post your doubts here!

[Zohaa_Ch]

I've got a question about Islamiat . Which book is the best and most according to syllabus. I've heard that the book by David Thomas is good but I have it and it's too short. Currently i'm studying from the book by Iftikhar-ul-Haq. Should I substitute it for Farkhanda Noor?
All comments and opinions will be welcome.

farkhanda noor is best of all sources for islamiat because it to the point and is in easy language
learn from that book abd then for revision or reference use david thomas and Iftikhar-ul-haq
all these 3 books are good but farkhanda noor is better
hope i helped

alright calm down!! i know tht geography is very hard but the trick is to learn the facts and figures like altitude if the mountains just learn them and keep reading but for figures, to keep them in ur mind write them down again and again
and specially do past papers although it is rare for q question to be repeated in geography but it really helps and read the book of Huma Naz Sethi and Fazle Karim Khan
and my personal advice: after learning a chapter to go ur mom or dad or anyone and start discussing the chapter with them like 'do u know the height of Tirch Mir?' (this really helps me in geo, history and islam )
Most of the geography is mostly cramming and ratta and the economy of various places can be easily learnt by keeping in mind their topographical area (although in my opinion topography is hardest chapter )
hope i helped and best of luck! im just as frustrated as u are even i hv t give my pak st. exams this may
lets pray for each other

relax pls u dun need to panic ! trust me geography is not that difficult n it's more of common sense + much easier than history. wat u needa do is to learn mapping firstly specially the places that r in the syllabus and then read the chapters to learn abt the facts n to grasp the concepts then do a LOT OF past papers. eventually u'll be able to get good grades
Good luck !

All comments and opinions will be welcome.

mostly the information which is given in farkhanda noor's book is change from the information that is given in david thomas book so in this case we have to follow the david thomas book because he is the principal examiner of o level islamiat so we must have to read his book also.

 

[MuzammilQureshi]

Can you answer this question please :
Why did Shah Wali Ullah have such a major influence on the revival of Islam in the subcontinent ? (7)
I also wanted to know if we had to learn the consequences of the war of independance since there hasnt bee any question about it since 2002.
I

its answer is in the book named 'the history and culture of pakistan"
you have to write three reason which include problems+contribution+effect

 

[MuzammilQureshi]

In pak.studies history other than Shah Wali Ullah , Syed Ahmed Shaheed Barelvi, Haji Sharitullah and Titu Mir are there any other reformers I should know about.
I'm studying from Nigel Kelly and only SWU, SAHB and Haji Sharitullah are mentioned.

you can also use the book of 'bajwa'

 

[MuzammilQureshi]

the mughal emperor

Is it important to learn about the reforms of the Mughal emporers?
I mean even though they are in the syllabus, I have never seen a question in the past papers regarding the reforms of Akbar or Babur or any other mughal emporer.

s are not in the syllabus so not need to study them

 

[MuzammilQureshi]

ca

In pak.studies paper 1 , I have two books . One written by Nigel Kelly and the other by by Farooq Nasseem Bajwa. The second has a lot of detail but is outdated should i study from it . Comments will be helpful.[/quo
you can also study nigel smith

Thanks a lot.
The only reason I asked about the unsuccessful points because in Nigel Kelly's exam guidance he said that in the ''How successful'' you had to give both sides of the argument i.e successful and unsuccessful.
