Islamiyat MCQs 2026 — 100 Most Important MCQs with Answers for PPSC FPSC NTS — SahulatHub

Islamic Studies (Islamiyat) is a compulsory subject in virtually all PPSC, FPSC, NTS, and CSS competitive examinations in Pakistan. It typically carries 10 to 20 marks and covers topics including the Holy Quran, Hadith, Seerah (life of the Prophet ﷺ), Islamic history, pillars of Islam, and basic fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence).

This carefully compiled set of 100 Islamiyat MCQs is drawn from verified past papers of PPSC, FPSC, NTS, CSS, and other Pakistani competitive exams from 2015 to 2025. Each question includes a detailed explanation to help you understand the concept, not just memorize the answer.

How to Prepare Islamiyat for Competitive Exams

The most effective approach is to focus on three areas: basic facts about the Quran (number of Surahs, Paras, verses, longest/shortest Surahs), Seerah of the Prophet ﷺ (dates of birth, first revelation, Hijra, important battles), and Islamic history (Khulafa-e-Rashideen, Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates). Questions from these three areas make up approximately 70% of all Islamiyat MCQs in Pakistani exams.
