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.

The Qur’an was delivered by Jibril, by permission of Allah (1) • Jibril is shown to be important to Allah (1). ‘Whoever is an enemy to Allah, His Angels and His Messengers and to Gabriel and Michael will surely find Allah an enemy to such unbelievers.’ (Surah 2:98) (1). Jibril is of importance as Allah’s trusted messenger (1) • Jibril appeared to Maryam (1) by taking on the shape of a man (1) ‘We breathed into (the sleeve of her shirt or garment) through Our Ruh [i.e. Jibrael (Gabriel)] and she testified to the truth of the Words of her Lord.’ (Surah 66:12) (1).

(5) Question number Indicative content Mark 1(d) AO2 12 marks, SPaG 3 marks Candidates must underpin their analysis and evaluation with knowledge and understanding. Candidates will be required to demonstrate thorough knowledge and understanding as well as accuracy of religion and belief when responding to the question and in meeting AO2 descriptors. AO2 Arguments for the statement: • Sunni Muslims believe a Muslim’s entire destiny has been written on the preserved tablet. ‘No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh AlMahfuz), before We bring it into existence.’ (Surah 57:22) • Muslims believe that 120 days after conception Allah sends an angel to put a soul into the person. The angel writes down Allah’s decree including how long a person will live, their actions, their earnings and whether they will go to heaven or hell • Every year on the Night of Qadr Allah sends down his decrees from heaven to earth. This decrees the actions of creation for the next year. Since they are decreed there is no point in trying to alter what Allah has decided. Arguments against the statement: • Some Shi’a Muslims, such as the Twelvers, reject absolute predestination. Bada’ states that Allah has not set a definite course for human history. Instead Allah has the power to alter destiny as he chooses • Shi’a Muslims point to scripture such as Surah 13:11 ‘Allah would never change a people’s state ‘of favour’ until they change their own state ‘of faith’.’ This suggests that Allah responds to the actions of people in this life and may change what was destined for them • Shi’a Muslims believe there is no contradiction between predestination and freewill. Allah ultimately has authority over the whole creation, changes can be brought about by Allah in response to the prayers and good deeds of humans. Accept any other valid response. (15) Candidates who do not consider different viewpoints within the religious tradition or non-religious viewpoints (as instructed in the question) cannot achieve marks beyond Level 2. Level Mark Descriptor 0 No rewardable response. Level 1 1–3 • Information/issues are identified and make superficial connections among a limited range of elements in the question, underpinned by isolated elements of understanding of religion and belief. • Judgements are supported by generic arguments to produce a conclusion that is not fully justified. Level 2 4–6 • Superficial connections are made among many, but not all, of the elements in the question, underpinned by a limited understanding of religion and belief. • Judgements of a limited range of elements in the question are made. Judgements are supported by an attempt to appraise evidence, much of which may be superficial, leading to a conclusion that is not fully justified. Level 3 7–9 • Deconstructs religious information/issues, leading to coherent and logical chains of reasoning that consider different viewpoints. These are underpinned by an accurate understanding of religion and belief. Connections are made among many, but not all, of the elements in the question. • Constructs coherent and reasoned judgements of many, but not all, of the elements in the question. Judgements are supported by the appraisal of evidence, some of which may be superficial, leading to a partially justified conclusion.

These are underpinned by a sustained, accurate and thorough understanding of religion and belief.
