General Performance: The class engaged well with the topic, with most students able to offer a basic opinion on the importance of the Quran. However, there was a significant reliance on general knowledge rather than specific religious evidence.
Question: "The Quran is the only Holy Book Muslims need." Do you agree?
Some Muslims would agree with this statement because they believe the Quran is the complete and perfect word of Allah. Unlike previous holy books like the Torah or the Gospel, which Muslims believe were changed by humans, Allah promised to protect the Quran from any error. Therefore, it contains all the guidance a human needs to live a good life, including the rules for prayer (Salah), charity (Zakah), and family life. If it is the direct word of God, logically, no other book should be needed. However, many Muslims would disagree. They argue that while the Quran tells you *what* to do, it does not always explain *how* to do it. For these details, Muslims need the Sunnah (the example of the Prophet Muhammad) and the Hadith (his recorded sayings). For instance, the Quran commands Muslims to pray, but it does not describe the physical movements (Raka'at). Muslims can only learn this by copying the Prophet. Therefore, the Quran alone is not enough; they need the record of the Prophet's life too. In conclusion, I believe that the statement is incorrect. While the Quran is the most important source of authority in Islam, it is meant to be read alongside the Prophet's example. Islam is not just a book to be read, but a way of life to be practiced, and for that, Muslims need the guidance of the Sunnah as well.

The Quran is a book that Muslims read and recite. Muslims read the Quran and learn it. Some people would agree with this statement because It has so much things to learn from and read and you can learn a lot from it. lots of Muslim learn it everyday and It can be taught to any age. Some people might disagree with this statement and think Muslims need more than a book and need more. In my opinion I think that Quran is the only Holy Book Muslims need.
I have rewritten your point to include the missing explanation.
Some people might disagree because the Quran does not explain every single detail of religious life. For example, the Quran tells Muslims to pray, but it doesn't say exactly how to move. For this, Muslims need the Hadith and Sunnah (the Prophet's example) to show them the correct method.

For this statement I think that no the Quran is not the only holy book muslims need because there can be loads of Books that teach about the quran or about mahmud. On the other hand some people may think This is They have got teach about the islam One quran are or muslim. State in my opinon I agree with the first option because there are loads of book that do teach about the Quran.
I have rewritten your point about "other books" to make it clear.
I disagree with the statement because Muslims need other books to help them understand their history. For instance, there are Hadith books that tell stories about the Prophet Muhammad's life. These extra books help explain the difficult parts of the Quran.

I partly agree with this statement because while he was a Prophet he lived a mostly normal life before becoming a Prophet. Some People might agree with this statement because before becoming a Prophet Muhammed (S.A.W/P.B.U.H) was a kind and selfless orphan who lived with his uncle. They might also argue that Muhammed (S.A.W/P.B.U.H) was an ordinary man because he died of food poisoning this shows he was an ordinary man. on the other hand, However Some people may debate that Muhammed (S.A.W) was not an ordinary man as Muslims believe that Muhammed (S.A.W) was Created by Allah out of Light. They also argue that Muhammed (S.A.W) wasn't an ordinary as Sunni muslims believe that Muhammed (S.A.W) was the last Prophet ever to be sent to Earth. This proves the statement that 'Muhammed was an ordinary man' is wrong. To conclude, I believe this statement is Partly right as Muhammed (S.A.W) was a normal man however there is plentiful more reasons that Muhammed (S.A.W) wasn't a normal man like how he was made of light or how he was the last Prophet.
I have added a "Chain of Reasoning" to your point about food poisoning.
Some argue he was ordinary because he faced human struggles, just like anyone else. For example, it is recorded that he died after suffering from food poisoning. This proves he had a mortal human body that could be hurt and killed, proving he was not an immortal angel or a god, but a human being.

Some people may agree with this statement as the Quran is the holy book in Islam and can be seen as a guide to life. It can teach you many extremely helpful things including how to pray. This may be why people agree with this statement. On the other hand other people may belive that the Quran helps a lot in life but there are also many other things one must know to live life. There are many things which consist of learning from your books, your parents, the laws in your country, human rights and much more. To conclude in my opinion I disagree with this statement because even though the Holy book can teach you many valuable lessons there are still other things like an education or what kind of human rights you have.
I have replaced "helpful things" with specific examples of the Five Pillars.
The Quran is the only book needed because it is the complete word of God. For example, it contains specific instructions on the Five Pillars, such as how to perform Salah (prayer) and Zakah (charity). Because these instructions come directly from Allah, a Muslim does not need to look anywhere else for guidance on how to worship.

I agree as The quran is very important to muslims and people are very loving to the quran and The quran is very Important as it shows us the story's and verses in what happend in Islam. Some people would probably disagree with me as Some may belive that in Islam the quran isnt just the only Holy Book that muslims need many other books that educate muslim that tell story about the Justice Islam But I disagree as the only holy book that is really needed when your a muslim is the quran.
I have separated this into its own paragraph and used better vocabulary.
On the other hand, some Muslims might look to the Sunnah for extra guidance. The Sunnah records the actions of the Prophet Muhammad, which aren't always detailed in the Quran. Therefore, to be a perfect Muslim, one needs to follow the Prophet's example, not just read the book.
Transcribed Answer
The Quran is the holy book that all muslims follow, it has rules that muslims must follow to lead a good life and get to heaven. Some people believe that The Quran is one of the Books that people need, but they Should also rely on the law. Because it would not be fair if Someone broke the rules / laws and then Said, 'well I only follow the rules in my holy book and get away with it'. I personally agre...
I have written a conclusion that summarizes your strong point about the law.
In conclusion, I agree that the Quran is important, but it is not the *only* book needed. Muslims also need to follow the law books of the country they live in to ensure society is fair and safe for everyone.
Transcribed Answer
I do not agree with this statement. The Quran is the holy book of muslims and is an important pillar of book to the life of a muslim. I do not agree with this opinion. While the Quran is an integral thing for a muslim teaching them Respect and good will it is also important to take law in mind. Law goes hand in hand with religion and both are important, both guiding you on how to live your life.
This adds a religious reason to your answer.
Furthermore, Muslims also need the Hadith to understand their religion fully. The Hadith are records of what the Prophet Muhammad said and did. Without these, Muslims would not know the details of how to worship.

Some people may agree to the statment about "The quran is the only Holy Book Muslim need?" Beause if you are in a religoon that religon will usally tech teach you the way of living how how to live through a book. For that reason people will think that their holy book (The Quran) is the only book they need. However some people may disagree with this statment because the might think that the Quran One of the most importan book in their life but it shouldn't be their only book. They might wannt to use other religons quots or statment. In concosion I agree with this statment because The quran is a holy book book for muslim and it is very impant to do/learn that first.
I have corrected the error about "other religions".
However, some people disagree because the Quran is not the only source of authority in Islam. Muslims also need the Sunnah, which is the practice of the Prophet Muhammad. If they only read the Quran, they might miss important details on how to practice their faith.

I do not agre with this statement beause Muhamad is not a ordinary man he is the profet prophet of allah and he is Allahs messenger. The Quarans revieled to muhamed in a cave and meny muslims belive that Muhamed is the Last measrger... I Do not agree that the Quran is the Only Holy Book beuse there is the tounah, the injil the Quaran. The pepole Should not think that there is not writen One thy should learn and learn.
I have rewritten your point with correct spelling and a clear explanation.
I disagree that the Quran is the only book, because Islam recognises earlier revelations like the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospel). Muslims respect these books because they were originally sent by Allah to previous prophets, even if the Quran is the final one.
Transcribed Answer
Some people may agree with this view as the Quran is used as judge. It tells you what you shoud and shount't do. For an example your chosl and god. And it give to Muhammad the last prophet. It is the word of God. However some peplo dissagrees with thier view as they might do religios studys so they need lots of holy books.
I have replaced the "religious studies" point with a stronger Islamic argument.
However, some people disagree because the Quran is sometimes difficult to understand on its own. Therefore, Muslims need the Hadith books to explain the meanings of the verses. Without these extra books, they might misunderstand God's word.
Transcribed Answer
Yes I do think muhamad was an ordinary man but for what he has done people call him a profet because of his good deeds and how faithful he was. But yes muhammad was an ordinary man, he was born like how everyone elese is born: he grew up as a human and if he never done any goods he would be classified as an ordinary human. however, muhammad was a Good man to the peopre and which people (Muslims) see as important and he is an insperation to them so at the same time he was an ordinary man but before becoming an inspiration.
I have used the technical term "Role Model" to make the argument stronger.
However, Muslims believe Muhammad is the perfect 'Role Model' for humanity. Because he was chosen by Allah to receive the Quran, his actions are not just 'good deeds', they are instructions for how all Muslims should live their lives.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a very important figure in Islam and is even taught to non-muslim people. He was the last of the prophets in Islam to be sent by Allah (swt). Some people may agree that Muhammad (PBUH) was not an ordinary man as he is taught to everyone even non-muslims and is one of the most respected Prophets in Islam. This leads to believe that some people thought that Muhammad (PBUH) was a holy person by birth. Additionally, He also was a messenger by Allah to Humanity which further backs up this point. Moreover, People say Muhammad (PBUH) was actually just a normal person from the beginning and he then gained messages by Allah (swt). This is due to the fact that some people think one person cannot be born Holy and needs to be a pure and honest messenger of God to truly be a Prophet. This goes to believe that people think that Muhammad (PBUH) was just a normal person. In Conclusing I think that Muhammad (PBUH) was actually a prophet from the start of his life and was actually a special person for everyone else, not just Muslims.
I have added the specific details of how he received the message.
Some argue he was ordinary until the moment of Revelation. It was only when he was 40 years old, in Cave Hira, that the Angel Jibril appeared to him. Before this event, he was a simple merchant, which proves God can choose any ordinary man to do extraordinary things.

I fully agree with this statement because as a Muslim you should not be reading other holy books for different religions. For example a Muslim wouldn't go to a Church and worship Jesus they would reading the Qur'an and not the Bible or going to Synagogue they would go to a Mosque to worship Allah because that is the place of worship for Muslims and the Qur'an is their Holy book. Another reason is that if your a Muslim It is seen as haram if your reading / worship a holy book for another religion. They should also read the book of land as not only Muslims but what the laws are in the country that they are in.
I have changed "Haram" to a more accurate explanation.
I agree with the statement because Muslims believe the Quran is the final and perfect version of God's word. While the Bible and Torah were sent by God originally, Muslims believe they have been changed by humans over time. Therefore, the Quran is the only book they need for the truth, even if they are allowed to read others.
Transcribed Answer
I do not agree with this statement because Muslims beleive that Muhammad was an important person for Muslims in every day life Since he learnt many things from the angle Gibril for a veg long period of time. Then after He came back he started spreading it around its people and then people started to look up to him So think that Muhammad was just an ad ordinary man but he was the most important man of all Since he was there God and there only God. So I think that Muhammad was an important man to all Muslims.
I have added an explanation to your evidence.
Muhammad could not be an ordinary man because he was chosen for a supernatural event. When the Angel Jibril visited him, it proved he was the chosen 'Messenger'. An ordinary man does not receive visits from angels or revelations from God, so this event sets him apart from the rest of humanity.

In my opinion I agree that muhammad was an ordinary man. Because he was a human like us and be lived in the religoun of Islam. Also he was a kind man like us and was encouraging. Me didn't have powers, he was just a normal man. This is why I agree that he was an ordinary man. But some people believed he was not an ordinary man. Because he inspired people to believe in Islam. Also he would get messages from God and angles. When he lisipierd people he inspired a lot of people to believe in Islam. This shows he was a prophet or also a prophet or messanger not just an Ordinary man. These two paragraphs Show he was an ordianary man and why he was not an ordianary man.
I have written a conclusion that gives a final judgement.
In conclusion, I believe Muhammad was physically ordinary, but spiritually extraordinary. While he had no superpowers and lived as a human, the fact that he received messages from Angels makes him the most important man in history.
Transcribed Answer
I agree with this view because muslims need to follow the Quran... The book guides them into doing the good that is necessery to get to Jannah (Heaven). In the Qu'ran thier are rules for food, family prayer and many more. In Islam there is Halal (permitted) and Haram (forbidden). Things that are Haram are eating pork, drinking alcohol, doing drugs, listening to music and its Haram to wear gold (for men only). Halal things is stuff that do not control your brain, harm you and things that do not distract you from God (Allah swt). In Islam the roles of a family on heads to do the mother is to teach their children the meaning and rules of the Qu'ran and Islam. That is the mothers job. The father should wait for the familys financial problems.
I have written a counter-argument to balance your essay.
However, some Muslims disagree because the Quran does not give every single detail. For example, the Quran says to pray, but it doesn't say exactly how to move or what to say. For this, Muslims need the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet) to complete their religion.
Transcribed Answer
I agree with this statement because some religious only allow to use one holy book which is the Qur'an, Bible etc. People may only use one book for life because it is their religion. The Qur'an is a Holy book used by Muslims. However, some people may disagree with this statement because some religious like Christianity, they use more than one holy book. For example, they use the Bible and the Qur'an... Another reason why they have to use more than one Holy book is because that they have to follow what those Holy books say, for example 'they always need to be Kind' or 'do not hurt / Kill'. Overall in my opinion, I think that you need more than one Holy book.
I have corrected the facts about which books Muslims use.
However, some people disagree because Muslims have other sources of authority besides the Quran. They also look to the Hadith, which records the words of the Prophet Muhammad. They need both the Quran (for God's words) and the Hadith (for the Prophet's example) to fully understand their faith.
Transcribed Answer
I agree with this statemen. Because same religion religion allow to use one holy Book which is Their Qu'ran Biten etc... The Quran is the only Holy Book Muslims need. However some people many disagree with this statement because same religions like Chrestianment like use more then to holy one holy book and they use the Bible and the religion are And holy book... Overall in any opinion I think that your need more than one Holy books.
I have rewritten your point to be short and clear.
Some people disagree with the statement. They think Muslims need more than one book. They need the Quran to know what God said, but they also need the Hadith to know what the Prophet did.
Transcribed Answer
Probably people would disagree because some times they can think that they are allowed to have more than one holy Book... people would probably dissagre because they can chose if somone is important or not important it's your believe it's your choise... people have to follow the rules that the country they are in but because there are rules around the world and is not always the same rules for every country. For example som people can chose to be a religion and they can change religion... I disagree because if the religion is like that you have to follow the rules that there is for example muslims don't eat for days that a rule of there religgion...
I have used full stops to make your point clear.
I think the Quran is important because it contains the rules of the religion. For example, the Quran tells Muslims to fast during Ramadan. This is a rule they must follow, so they need the book to tell them when and how to do it.
Transcribed Answer
I mostly agree that the Quran is the only Holy book Muslims need because it say what people should do. The Quran is a Holy book that Guides people into a good life... The Quran also tell about Prophets like Prophet Muhammad... However, people might disagree that the Quran is the only book Muslims need because not every thing might be written in the Quran, maybe the missed some details that other Holy book might have, or they might have a different perspective of how things really happened. In my opinion I agree that Muslims only need the Quran to learn about their religion... but if they want to learn about others people's culture they they might read other holy book according to what culture they want to know about.
I have added the specific Islamic terms to your excellent logic.
People might disagree because the Quran does not contain every single detail of daily life. For the details that are 'missed', Muslims look to the Sunnah of the Prophet. For example, the Quran commands prayer, but the Sunnah explains the physical actions required to perform it correctly.
Transcribed Answer
I agree with this statement as Muhammad was the only a normal man. However, Some people might count muhammad as a prophet. The Quran is a Holy book that muslims read. The Quran says that no muslim can eat anything that contains pork. Some people may disagree with this statement as not everyone is muslim so the Quran is not their Holy book. For example Christians read the Bible which is similar to the Quran.
I have rewritten your "Disagree" point to focus on Islam.
Some people disagree because Muslims need more than just the Quran to practice their faith. For example, the Quran gives general rules, but Muslims also need the Hadith (sayings of the Prophet) to understand the details. Without the Hadith, they might interpret the Quran incorrectly.
Transcribed Answer
I agree with this Statement as I believe the Quran has everything a Muslim needs to Know as the Quran is a holy book that even needs to be taken care with respect. For example, you must not Place the Quran on the floor but you must Kiss it. However, Some people might disagree with this statement as there might be multiple ways Muslims can learn about their religion. For example, their Parents also teach them. Muslims have multiple ways to learn. Overall I somewhat agree that the Quran is the only Holy book Muslims need even though parents and teacher also educate and Teach Muslims ways and about their religion...
I have connected your point about parents to the official religious term.
People might disagree because Muslims also learn from the living example of others, not just by reading. For example, parents teach their children the Sunnah (practices) of the Prophet Muhammad. This oral tradition is just as important as reading the text, because it shows how the religion is lived in daily life.
