Thread: Brothers vs Sisters - Islamic Quiz

We are officially launching the quiz now with the first question. Whichever team answers it correctly first will be eligible for asking the next question.


This thread is strictly for questions and answers only. No discussion is allowed on this thread, except a clarification on a question or an answer.


Only one question must be asked at a time. No question should be asked until the previous one has been answered correctly, or three attempts have been made.




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.
