just, and that you would not be brought Back to
us”.
 “All members of ummah must observe the limits
set by Allah.”
 Virtues and sins will be calculated in members.
In order to judge whether the side of virtues is
heavier is the sins, quantitative evaluation will
be preferred than the qualitative evaluation.
The virtues and sins will weight after the
calculation.

Muslim the Islamic system of education tells the
learners to do:

Unseen offer prayers regularly and depends on
God guidance.
ii) Follow the commandments of Allah and
Muhammad SAW in all your actions.
iii) Be righteous and do justice and balance in
every walk of life.

9.  Self evaluation: what you are?
The guidance for evaluation as a practical
Muslim can best be cleared from the Luqman
advice to his son:
“O my dear son do not make any partner to
Allah truly making any a partner to Allah is
a big sin.”
“Be modest in your behavior and lower your
voice. Truly the harshest of all sounds is
the voice of the ass.”

10.  Concept of hereafter:
In the English translation the word Hereafter
used as AKHIRAt.
The Alam-e-akhrat is another world besides
this world of perception or Alam-I-dunia is
the material world.
Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:
“And also adornment of gold. But all this were
nothing but conveniences of the present life.
The hereafter is the sight of God is for the
righteous,”.

11.  In the Islamic system of education it is clear
reality of the next life is always before the
mind and consciousness of the devote
educator. It is this awareness which keeps
the present life, in the midst of the most
intense happiness and the most deepest pain
alike, in perspective.
 It will be the duty of educator to realize
their students Muslim even the best among
them imagine that he is guaranteed paradise
on the contrary the more consciousness and
God fearing one is, the more he is aware of
his own shortcomings and weaknesses.

Formative evaluation is used to monitor
learning progress during instruction and to
provide continuous feed back to pupil and
teachers concerning learning success and
failure.

providing information on learning
performance at one or more points during
the learning process.

13.  Summative evaluation:
N.E.Gronlund 1985 observes:
“Summative evaluation typically comes at the
end of a course of instruction. It is designed
to determined the extent to which the
instructional objectives have been achieved
and is used primarily for assigning course
grade or certifying pupils mastery for
intended learning outcomes”.
It is done at the conclusion of instruction.
