Question

The Tafsīr Ibn ‘Abbās explains that this principle was directed to an Anṣār woman who had vowed to raise her son as a Jew if he survived past infancy. For 10 points each:
[10m] Give this injunction followed by the words “Truth stands out clearly from falsehood” in Al-Baqarah 256. This phrase is traditionally taken as a principle of religious freedom.
ANSWER: “let there be no compulsion in religion” [or “lā ikrāha fī al-dīn”]
[10e] Abu Bakr suspended the principle of “no compulsion” during the Ridda Wars while fighting tribes who resisted this practice. This form of almsgiving is one of the Five Pillars.
ANSWER: zakat [or zakāh]
[10h] Abu Bakr vowed to fight those who refused to give an object used for this action as zakat. In a popular hadith on tawakkul, Muhammad advises a Bedouin to “trust in God” only after performing this more practical action.
ANSWER: tying a camel [accept a camel’s rope; accept variants on the phrase “trust in Allah, but tie your camel”; prompt on answers like tying or roping without mentioning an animal; prompt on answers like using a camel]
