101. To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: how can He have a son when He has no
consort? He created all things, and He has full knowledge of all things. 102. That is Allah, your Lord! there
is
no god but He, the Creator of all things: then worship Him: and He has power to dispose of all affairs.
103. No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is
acquainted with all things.
(J/2010) (J/2013) (N/2015)
Marking Scheme
(a) The main themes are God’s power; His knowledge of everything; that people should turn to God and worship
Him.
Candidates will develop these themes in their own way, e.g., He is the only one to control the heavens and the earth.
Everything originates with Him. Although humans cannot understand Him, He understands everything in creation. He
is the one who has the power to help humans, and He hears and sees all that they do, therefore they should worship
Him and pray to Him to reward their actions.
(b) These teachings emphasize the importance of tawhid for Muslims. The only relationship He has is with His
creation; he has no partners or offspring.
Mankind is asked to worship Him as it says in this passage that only He can fulfil their needs, so Muslims should be
careful to pray and fast, etc. to fulfil their obligation to Him. He also sees and hears all that humankind does, so
Muslims should keep this in mind in all that they do and say. In a world where there are lots of distractions, this
surah could remind Muslims that they should always remember their Creator as He is the ultimate authority over
their affairs.
