FIA Sub Inspector Paper 2018 Batch 2

Zakat and Ushr were not started under any of the constitutions of Pakistan (1956, 1962, or 1973). Instead, they were formally institutionalized through the Zakat and Ushr Ordinance of 1980. The 1973 Constitution of Pakistan includes Islamic provisions but does not specifically start Zakat and Ushr as constitutional provisions. Later, the 18th Amendment in 2010 devolved the Ministry of Zakat and Ushr to the provinces, allowing provincial legislation and administration. Therefore, none of the listed constitutions started Zakat and Ushr as constitutional provisions, making 'None of these' the correct answer.

The Daily Dawn newspaper was published from Karachi in 1942. Karachi was the city of its origin during that period, not Delhi or Lahore.

According to Islamic jurisprudence, the nisab (minimum threshold) for zakat on goats (and sheep) is 40 animals. There is no zakat due if one owns fewer than 40 goats. Once the number reaches 40, zakat becomes obligatory, and the owner must give 1 goat as zakat for 40 to 120 goats owned. The zakat amount increases with the number of goats owned, but the minimum number for zakat obligation (nisab) is 40 goats.

Fog is a collection of tiny water droplets suspended in the air near the ground and is not considered a form of precipitation. Hail and snowfall are forms of precipitation as they involve water falling from the atmosphere to the ground. Therefore, among the options, fog is not a form of precipitation.

There are six Surahs in the Quran named after animals: Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Al-An'am (The Cattle), An-Nahl (The Bees), An-Naml (The Ants), Al-Ankabut (The Spider), and Al-Fil (The Elephant). The original question's explanation missed An-Nahl (The Bees), which is also named after an animal. Therefore, the correct answer is 6.

The most important area in the Indus Valley civilization was the river system, particularly the Indus River, which provided water for agriculture, transportation, and supported the development of settlements. Thus, 'rivers' is the most accurate answer.

The Indus Water Treaty allocated the waters of the Indus, Jhelum, and Chenab rivers to Pakistan, while India received the Ravi, Beas, and Sutlej rivers. Therefore, option A correctly lists the rivers given to Pakistan.

Option D correctly converts the active sentence into a passive form with proper grammar and word order: 'Grass is not eaten by a lion, however hungry he may be.' The other options contain grammatical errors or awkward phrasing.

Historical Islamic sources and traditional accounts indicate that Hazrat Umar (RA) embraced Islam after hearing the recitation of Surah Taha. The story narrates that he came to his sister's house, where he heard the recitation of this Surah from a scroll. Moved by its message, he took a bath and read it himself, which deeply influenced him to accept Islam. Surah At-Tawbah (option B) is not historically linked to his conversion. Therefore, the correct answer is Surah Taha (option A).

Ijma (consensus) operates in Islamic law when the Quran and Hadith do not provide clear guidance on a particular issue, allowing scholars to reach a consensus to address the matter. It is not dependent on the presence or absence of Shoora (consultation council).
