Brothers vs Sisters Quiz Discussions

[AabiruSabeel]

:salam:

Exciting news for all IslamicBoard members!

We are hosting an Islamic Quiz competition between the Brothers and Sisters of IslamicBoard. Let us see who can score the highest points and who can ask the most difficult question.

Go to this thread for the Questions: http://www.islamicboard.com/islamic-...amic-quiz.html


To keep the competition fair, we will have some simple rules:

• All members of IslamicBoard will be divided into two teams: Brothers and Sisters
• Staff members cannot participate in the quiz. They can only post a question if there is a need, or if there is a tie between the teams.
• First question will be asked by one of the staff members. Whichever teams answers it correctly can post the next question directed to the other team.
• Each team can have a maximum of three attempts to answer a question, each answer coming from a different member of the team. One person cannot attempt the same question twice. So discuss the answer among your team mates before posting.
• If a team could not answer a question correctly, they will not get the chance to ask the next question. Only the team that answers correctly can post the next question.
• Each right answer will earn your team 2 points. Each wrong answer will earn the questioning team 1 point.
• No Googling allowed. You cannot search for direct answers, but you can read a book, an article, chapter etc or consult your knowledgeable friends (they should also not google it), or watch lectures, or go through previous threads on IB etc.
• Everyone should mention how he/she found the answer. Be honest. Say whether you read it in a book, learnt it at school, heard it in a lecture or whatever. Don't cheat.
• Participants are not allowed to edit their answers once they have posted.
• Do not ask questions related to topics on which scholars have differed in their opinions.

Are you all ready? Feel free to discuss and ask for clarifications here.

Lol, this is going to be fun as I'm already imagining sisters winning the quiz!

Sisters unite! In-sha-Allah we win!

Sisters rule!
Yay!

Yes, I'm sorry, brothers, but better try next time. (Mwahahaha.)

*Rubs palms in anticipation*

[BeTheChange]

Asalamualykum,

Sounds great in sha Allah.

What is the best way to consult with each other? Through PM's?

[AhmedGassama]

This is a good thread

But i don't agree with the Brothers VS Sisters thing, it seems like a wrestling match, this will bring us sexism and division between men and women.
Which sex will prove it's superiority over the other ? Sorry, but this is how i see it!

However you can change the competition, and make four teams for example and it's team must have it's proper name, it's team must contain a limited number of participants and it's team must contain women and men. This will create fun and good relation between the two sexes and between the members even if they are competing against each others.

What do you think ? :)

In the other hand, i liked the point system, but you also need to put the ranking of the teams after each round of questions.

Peace

The only problem with this might be that some brothers and sisters are not comfortable to free mix. If its a "battle" of the 'sexes' there might be more participants as they would not have to worry about free mixing. Just my thought :embarrass

[TMGuide]

Bring it On! However without google as my consultant and my adviser, I am not sure I am of any use :p

I don't think that there is some brothers and sisters who feel uncomfortable to mixing, but if you are correct then this is a good occasion for them to communicate with each others without any barriers.

Because boys and girls need to learn how to communicate with each others or it will be hard for us to help each others or when there is some situations which needs a communication between the two genders.
This is how i see it.

[strivingobserver98]

Sisters rule!
Yay!

Game on.

[Abdul Emwazi]

We all know brothers will win...sisters can surrender now ;D

[Abdul Emwazi]

This quiz is almost unfair due to our extensive knowledge :haha:

[AhmedGassama]

You see ? This is what i'm talking about :D

we should avoid unnecessary mixing . To know the correct ans , one needs to pm others . So , better if sis sends pm to other sis and bro sends pm to brothers only.

[islamkingdom]

ok i agree

[BlueOwl358]

BOOYAKASHA! Ze Owl shall knock out ze competition. ;D I do not understand how the inter-team communication will work. Since I can search specific books or chapters, that means I can go into a specific Hadith chapter according to its name, thank God for that. I also think that each answer should be labelled with the question number and team attempt number to avoid confusion as to whether all the tries are done. Example: Question 3, Team B, Attempt 1. Or 3B1, or even Q3:TB:A1.

[AabiruSabeel]

We will be starting the quiz in another thread by asking the first question. Whichever team answers it correctly first will be able to continue by asking the next question.

This thread is only for introduction. For discussion, each team (Brother and Sisters) can create their own discussion threads here in this section. There will not be any cross-team discussion.

An update for the rules: Do not ask questions related to topics on which scholars have differed in their opinions.

[BeTheChange]

Asalamualykum,

To search for answers are we allowed to use other islamic websites other than IB?

[AabiruSabeel]

:wasalam:

You can search for topics anywhere and read them to find out the answer. The only search which is not allowed is to search for the question itself or anything very similar to the question that can give you the answer directly.

This is just to encourage members to gain more knowledge by reading more and more about Islam.

[BeTheChange]

Asalamualykum sisters,

I've attempted the first question and i apologise in advance if the answer is wrong. :hiding:

[BeTheChange]

Asalamualykum,

Sorry maybe i have misinterpreted the question?

I interpreted prayer to mean = Fajar, Zuhur, Asar, Maghrib, isha

& not each rakat of prayer... :facepalm:

Back to the thinking board.

[greenhill]

Who are team members? Can we declare our selves?

When the term 'googling' is used, is it generic (no internet), or no Google. But Yahoo! is ok... is that what is meant?
:hmm:

[AabiruSabeel]

All Brothers are in one team, and all sisters are in another team.

Googling is used to describe all kinds of searches. But as explained above, searching specifically for the question is not allowed. General topic search is ok.

[AabiruSabeel]

Come on brothers, let the quiz continue. Ask the next question.

[BeTheChange]

Asalamualykum,

:bump:

[BeTheChange]

Asalamualykum,

I think i'm going to cry.

I attempted two questions and got them both wrong. :cry:

But am going to keep trying.

Am sorry sisters - i thought i'll do you proud but the opposite is happening. :exhausted

Alhamdulilah.

[sister herb]

^^ Don´t worry sister -

We are always proud of you. :statisfie

[BeTheChange]

Jazahka Allah Sister Herb,

May Allah swt be proud of you Ameen.

Review my answer on the Quiz thread before the brothers log in. :D

[BeTheChange]

Alhamdulilah Sister Herb well done!! :rock::bravo:

[AabiruSabeel]

Now it is the sisters turn to ask a question to the Brothers team.

[waji]

ibn-Adam You could give the link of the Quiz thread in the first post.

[AhmedGassama]

Why all questions are related only to religion ?

[sister herb]

Why all questions are related only to religion ?

Maybe because its Islamic Quiz.

[AabiruSabeel]

ibn-Adam You could give the link of the Quiz thread in the first post.

:jz: for the good suggestion. This is the link for the thread: http://www.islamicboard.com/islamic-...amic-quiz.html

Why all questions are related only to religion ?

Because it is Islamic Quiz.

[AhmedGassama]

Well then, how about you add some Islamic History questions in it ? Don't you think that we need to learn about our Muslim Leaders so we can inspire from them ? Isn't this better ?

[sister herb]

If you can find a question what relate to islam and scholars agree in their opinions, why not? But you have to wait it will become brother´s turn to make a question. If we sisters are good enough, it may never comes... :haha:

Well then, if you are going to ask a question about History, then you are going to lose already :P

[A.M.Nadwi]

This way would increase brothers & sisters in knowledge.

good step..

[BeTheChange]

Asalamualykum brothers,

Sorry to keep you waiting.

We are trying to think of a very hard question. ;D

Won't be too long in sha Allah.

[BeTheChange]

Asalamualykum,

The question has been posted Alhamdulilah.

Don't take too long brothers. ;D

I think this is a fantastic opportunity because when it's your turn to ask a question you have to research around a topic and by researching your learning as well.

Alhamdulilah.

[BeTheChange]

Next Question: Name the sin which has been prohibited in the Qura'an but never carried out.

It's been quite a while since I posted on these forums. Most of the users probably won't remember me, but I hope they can forgive me jumping straight into this quiz!

Interesting question Alhamdulilah.

Am struggling on this one.

Never been carried out...

All the sins that i'm thinking of have already been committed...

[BeTheChange]

Asalamualykum,

Can i ask does the question relate to Humans, Jinns, Angels, Prophets (Peace and blessings upon them all)...?

[sister herb]

Sister, no need to ask it... :omg:

[sister herb]

Ok sisters, let´s start to think the next question. Now something difficult that brothers too need to make some job. ;D

[sister herb]

Sorry I knew my question was too easy - someone else will make the next one then.

:X I am not good with questions...

[BeTheChange]

Alhamdulilah for getting it right Sister Herb. :rock:

I would never have thought of that.

[sister herb]

Alhamdulilah for getting it right Sister Herb. :rock:

[AabiruSabeel]

The brothers are still waiting for their next question. Let the quiz continue.

[sister herb]

Ok sisters, I posted new question to brothers. If its too easy again, someone else can make the next question... :embarrass

[sister herb]

Nobody is winning - it´s a drawn match. It´s sisters turn to make question (but I am waiting if some other sisters would like to take part and ask). If not, both teams have same amount of points.

[AabiruSabeel]

Anyone willing to continue this competition?

[azc]

On one occasion the king of Abyssinia sent a precious jewel as a gift to Nabi s.a.w. Nabi s.a.w announced that he will give it to that person who is the most beloved to him. Name the fortunate person who Nabi s.a.w gifted it to...?

[AabiruSabeel]
