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 reason identified up to a maximum of three. • Believing in the five roots of ‘Usul ad-Din is important for different Shi’a communities today because it reflects the unity of all Muslims as one Ummah (1) • The five roots of ‘Usul ad-Din show Allah’s loving guidance (1) • Shi’a Muslims can look to Allah’s justice as a sign of hope (1) • The five roots of ‘Usul ad-Din are important to Twelver Shi’a Muslims as they must obey the teachings of their Twelve Imams (1) • They are important as some Shi’a Muslims look to the spiritual guidance of the living Imam (1).

Muslims believe nothing can happen that Allah has not decreed (Sahih Bukhari 78:685) (1).

Those who make good choices will be rewarded (1). ‘Whoever follows my guidance – there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve’ (Surah 2:38) (1) • Muslims believe Allah is the ‘Sovereign of the Day of Recompense’ (Surah 1:4) (1).
