Applies to all nine Boards of Intermediate and Secondary Education in Punjab: BISE Lahore, BISE Gujranwala, BISE Rawalpindi, BISE Sargodha, BISE Faisalabad, BISE Sahiwal, BISE Multan, BISE Dera Ghazi Khan and BISE Bahawalpur — including Rawalpindi board students. This is not a Rawalpindi-only syllabus.
Islamiat-9 — the biggest paper in Class 9, and the only 100-mark paper
Islamiat (Lazmi) Class 9 is different from every other subject in this notification: its annual paper is 100 marks in 3 hours, in three parts — MCQs, short questions, and a third part of Hadith translation, short notes on famous personalities, and detailed questions. The Smart Syllabus (ALP) deletes selected Ahadith, whole topics from Chapters 4, 5 and 6, and the whole of Chapter 7. The notification is strict: the paper setters of the board must not include any objective, essay or other type of question or part from the deleted chapters and topics.
One small note: the Islamiat page in the PDF itself carries a note saying this ALP was made only for academic session 2025-26 — that is a printing slip in the official PDF; the notification itself (No. PECTAA/C&C Unit/2026/1238, dated 06 November 2026) covers Academic Session 2026-27 and the BISE Annual Examination 2027.

Paper pattern — Pairing Scheme (Islamiat-9, Annual Examination 2027)
- Total: 100 marks. Time: 3 hours.
- Hissa Awwal — MCQs: 20 marks.
- Hissa Duwam — Mukhtasar Sawalat (short questions): 40 marks.
- Hissa Suwam — 40 marks: (i) Tarjuma Ahadith Mubaraka — 10 marks; (ii) Mashahir par Mukhtasar Note — 10 marks; (iii) Tafseeli Sawalat — 20 marks.
- Q-1 — MCQs, 20 marks: from the whole book. Bab Awwal, Bab Chaharam, Bab Panjum and Bab Shashum — 3 questions each; Bab Duwam and Bab Suwam — 4 questions each.
- Q-2 — Short questions, 12 marks: 9 short questions in total, answer any 6. The questions are asked only from Bab Awwal and Bab Duwam.
- Q-3 — Short questions, 12 marks: 9 short questions in total, answer any 6. The questions are asked only from Bab Suwam and Bab Chaharam (4 questions from one chapter and 5 from the other).
- Q-4 — Short questions, 16 marks: 12 short questions in total, answer any 8. The questions are asked only from Bab Panjum and Bab Shashum (6 questions from each chapter).
- Q-5 — Tarjuma Ahadith, 10 marks: From Bab Awwal, 4 selected Ahadith are given and 2 are asked for translation; each Hadith translation is 5 marks (5 + 5 = 10). Note: the translation of Ahadith will be asked only from the selected Ahadith of Bab Awwal — from the rest of the book, no Hadith translation will be asked.
- Q-6 — Shakhsiyat (famous personalities), 10 marks: From Bab Shashum, questions are asked about 4 selected personalities, and short notes on 2 of them are required. The 4 personalities are selected one each from these four categories: (1) Ahl-e-Bayt / Sahaba Kiram, (2) Sahabiyat, (3) Ulama-o-Mufakkireen, (4) Sufi Kiram.
- Q-7 — Tafseeli Sawalat (detailed questions), 20 marks: 4 detailed questions are given from the book, answer any 2; each question is 10 marks (10 + 10 = 20). The order is: (i) first part from Bab Awwal or Bab Chaharam, (ii) second part from Bab Duwam, (iii) third part from Bab Suwam, (iv) fourth part from Bab Shashum. Note: the printed scheme also carries a note saying no detailed question from Chapters 6 and 7 should be made part of the examination paper — which sits uneasily with the fourth part being listed from Chapter 6, so students should confirm this point from the full PDF and prepare Chapters 1 to 5 thoroughly in any case.
Model Paper — what it actually asks (Islamiat-9)
The Model Paper in the PDF follows this exact pattern: 100 marks, 3 hours, Hissa Awwal (Q-1, 20 MCQs), Hissa Duwam (Q-2, Q-3, Q-4 short questions) and Hissa Suwam (Q-5, Q-6, Q-7). Sample MCQs from it: (1) All Muslims agree on one Qira'at and reading — which personality made this possible? (2) Belief in the Oneness of Allah and His attributes is called Tauheed... (3) The five daily prayers are like... (4) The saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him) is called Hadith... (5) In which Surah is the clear announcement of Khatm-e-Nubuwwat? (6) The reward of feeding a fasting person is equal to... (7) The disbelievers objected to Hazrat Adam (AS) being made Khalifa because... (8) Hazrat Jibrail (AS) stressed the rights of which person again and again? (9) Hazrat Imam Zain-ul-Abideen (RA) was buried in... (10) In the time of Hazrat Umar (RA), how many people were allowed to give fatwa? (11) Collecting and writing Hadith is called... (12) When the Prophet (peace be upon him) was born, the stars... (13) Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) held which rank among the caliphs? (14) The conquest of Makkah was accepted because of... (15) Hajj and Umrah are called... (16) When the Prophet (peace be upon him) welcomed Hazrat Talha (RA) at Saad's place... (17) The disbelief of the Jews in the Prophet (peace be upon him) was because of... (18) The word used in the Quran for witness is... (19) The Quran has how many readings (Qira'at) according to the reciters? (20) Hazrat Umar bin Al-Aas (RA) was the governor of which tribe?
Sample short questions from the Model Paper: Q-2 (6 x 2 = 12) — "How did Hazrat Usman (RA) unite all Muslims on one Qira'at?"; "Write any two wisdoms of Hifazat-e-Hadith"; "Explain the meaning of Hadith"; "Write the names of any two books of Sahah Sitta"; "Write any two etiquettes of learning in the light of Hadith Jibrail"; "Write the translation of Al-Kawthar"; "Write any two aspects of Namaz"; "Write two Masnoon acts of Ramadan"; "Write any two duas of Qurbani". Q-3 (2 x 6 = 12) and Q-4 (2 x 8 = 16) follow the same pattern from their chapters.
Sample third-part questions from the Model Paper: Q-5 (5 + 5 = 10) — translate any two of the four given Ahadith, including "Al-Muslimo akhul Muslim, la yazlimoho wa la yakhzuloho wa la yahqiroho" and "Kullul Muslimi alal Muslimi haramun: damuho wa maluho wa irzuho". Q-6 (5 + 5 = 10) — short notes on any two of the given personalities: Hazrat Imam Zain-ul-Abideen, Hazrat Asma bint Abi Bakr, Sheikh Ibn Arabi and Hazrat Shahbaz Qalandar. Q-7 (10 + 10 = 20) — answer any two detailed questions: (i) Jama-o-Tadween-e-Quran in detail, (ii) a comprehensive note on Aqeedah-e-Akhirat, (iii) Wisaal-e-Nabvi in detail, (iv) an essay on the prohibition of interest (Sood) in the light of Islamic teachings.
Tip for Islamiat: it is the only 100-mark paper in Class 9, so it carries the most weight. The short questions alone are 40 marks (Q-2, Q-3, Q-4), and they come only from Chapters 1 to 6 — Chapter 7 is fully deleted, so do not revise it at all. Learn the translation of the selected Ahadith of Chapter 1 by heart, because Q-5 is a certain 10 marks.
