Guide

A quiz you can learn from, with a source for every answer

This Islamic quiz has 190 multiple-choice questions on six topics: the prophets (30), the Quran (30), salah (30), Ramadan (30), the 99 Names of Allah (40) and Islamic history (30). Each round is 10 questions at the level you choose. When you answer, you see the right answer, a one-line reason, and a link to the page on AmalKit where the fact is explained with its Quran or hadith source.

How the questions are written

Every question is written from a page on this site, such as the stories of the 25 prophets, the life of the Prophet ﷺ or how to pray, and those pages cite the Quran, Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and the classical books of sirah and fiqh. Where the schools of fiqh differ, the question says "in the Hanafi school", and the explanation gives the other view. Questions on matters scholars dispute, such as the exact date of the Isra and Miraj, are left out, because a quiz should not pretend there is one answer when there is not.

Levels

Easy: the basics every Muslim child learns: the five prayers, the first and last prophet, the meaning of common names of Allah.
Medium: the stories of the prophets, the surahs read on Friday and before sleep, the rulings of witr and taraweeh.
Hard: years after the Hijrah, tajweed rules, the conditions of travelling prayer, and the less familiar names of Allah.

Using it with children, a class or a family quiz night

Put the quiz on a big screen and let teams take turns, or read the questions out and keep score on paper. Turn on the 20-second timer for a faster game. For younger children, pick Easy and one topic, and read the explanation together after each answer: the aim is to learn, not only to win. Teachers can set a topic as homework and ask students to share their score.
