Islamiyat 0493

Eight original lessons map all eight subject-content topics for exams 2026–2030, including the syllabus themes, history, people, beliefs, practices and source study. Each lesson has an explained example, misconception checks and three staged practice tasks. Cambridge states the 2026–2027 and 2029–2030 syllabuses have no significant teaching changes; the 2028 update changes the assessment overview. The passages in Appendices 1 and 2 are year-specific and are not reproduced here; use the official exam-year syllabus. The 2024–2025 syllabus is not mapped. Study the exact Qur’an and Hadith passage lists in the official syllabus for your own exam year; Cambridge reviews these lists periodically. This route uses original explanations and does not reproduce the syllabus passages or a published translation. It describes beliefs and traditions for syllabus study, not religious rulings; Muslim communities and scholars may interpret or practise differently. Subject-teacher and qualified Islamiyat-specialist review is pending. Both externally assessed papers are 1 hour 30 minutes and worth 50 marks (50% each); candidates answer in English and receive grades A*–G. StudyForA practice is original, self-checked study material. It does not award Cambridge marks or grades, replace official past papers, or certify religious understanding.

Use the Cambridge syllabus for the year you will sit the exam and check its Appendix 1 (Qur’an) and Appendix 2 (Hadith) passage lists. The 2028 April update should be read with Version 2. Available in administrative zones 2, 3, 4 and 5; June and November series. Confirm centre entry locally.
