Total: 30 marks
CLO: HUM110_CLO4 Analyze the current situation of Muslim Ummah (A1-PLO12)

How to do the Project

Step 1: Select a Topic and Get it Approved
Select a specific challenge faced by Muslims in the world. Your project cannot be on the main
topic in general, it has to be a particular and current challenge faced by Muslims in any part of
the world.

You will need to get your selected topic approved by your moderator through email. The
deadline for topic approval will be communicated by your moderator.

Step 2: Collect Information and Write the Report
After your topic has been approved, you will then collect information regarding the topic from
valid sources and write a report on your findings.

It is important that you write it in your own words and not plagiarize or copy from anywhere.
For information on plagiarism and how to avoid it, consult your moderator.

The report is worth 30 marks, therefore put proper effort into it and work on it like a project
and not just an assignment.

Your report must be structured in the following way.

Introduction
Briefly describe the project along with the topic. Also mention how the topic is related to the
main topic.

Findings and Discussion

Describe the challenge faced by Muslims in detail, including where it is being faced and in
general how many of the Muslim population is facing it. Describe the background or history
of the challenge and the consequences of it. You should include accurate information and the
source of the findings. (All sources will be listed at the end.)

Conclusion and Recommendations

Propose solutions to the challenge with reference from Islamic Teachings and describe how it
should be implemented. You can also describe the solutions others have proposed and how
well they are working to rectify the issue.

References
Refer all the sources you have used to learn about the topic and write your report. This section
is very important!

Step 3: Proofread and Submit your Report

Once you are done with your report and have proofread everything. If possible, check for
plagiarism, just to be sure that you are not at risk of losing marks due to it.

When you think, the report is ready for submission, then upload the report on CU Online as
Assignment # 3, before the Deadline. Strictly follow the deadline of submission of project, no
extension in the submission deadline will be provided.

Good Luck!
