SPM Turath Al-Quran & Sunnah study guide
SPM Turath Al-Quran & Sunnah · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
SPM Turath Al-Quran & Sunnah is a Malaysian upper-secondary elective subject examined under the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia framework, designed for students in religious-stream programmes (aliran agama) who want formal recognition of structured study of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. It suits candidates from sekolah menengah agama, maahad tahfiz and SMKA backgrounds, as well as private candidates who have studied the traditional sciences privately and need a recognised school-leaving qualification in the field. The SPM Turath Al-Quran & Sunnah study guide has 8 sections and about 2,307 words.
01Al-Quran: Tilawah and Tajwid
Tilawah and tajwid questions check whether you can recite accurately and explain why a rule applies, not merely name it. Expect makharij al-huruf, sifat, nun and mim sakinah, mad, qalqalah, and waqf/ibtida'.
296 words, about 1 min02Al-Quran: Hifz (Memorisation)
Hifz assesses accurate retention and fluent recitation of set portions. The examiner notices gaps, wrong order, and tajwid slips under pressure, so your revision system matters as much as initial memorisation.
283 words, about 1 min03Al-Quran: Tafsir and 'Ulum al-Quran
Tafsir and 'Ulum al-Quran test your ability to explain meaning with sound method: context, language, and transmitted authority. You need to know the major genres and avoid personal opinion without evidence.
270 words, about 1 min04Hadith: Riwayah and Memorisation of Selected Texts
This section tests accurate transmission and memorisation of selected hadith texts, including the chain where required. You must distinguish the Prophet's words from a narrator's comment and reproduce the matn without additions.
281 words, about 1 min05Hadith: Dirayah, Mustalah and Criticism of Chains
Dirayah and mustalah test whether you can judge a report by its chain and matn, using technical categories precisely. You are expected to know sahih, hasan, da'if, and the defects that lower a hadith.
279 words, about 1 min06'Aqidah and Tawhid
'Aqidah and tawhid test sound belief in Allah, His names and attributes, and the unseen, with clear evidence and without exaggeration. Expect definitions, categories of tawhid, and applied cases of shirk or innovation.
304 words, about 2 min07Fiqh and Usul al-Fiqh
Fiqh and usul test applied worship rulings and the principles behind them, mainly within the Shafi'i school taught in Malaysia. You need to know the evidence, the hukm, and the reason, not just a final answer.
293 words, about 1 min08Akhlaq, Adab and Sirah
Akhlaq, adab, and sirah test character and context: how a Muslim behaves with Allah, self, and others, and how the Prophet's life is used as a source of lessons. Expect definitions, adab rulings, and dated events.
