    WAEC IRS Answers 1st June 2026/2027: The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially scheduled the 2026 WAEC Islamic Studies paper for Monday, 1st June 2026. WAEC IRS (Islamic Religious Studies) exams test knowledge across four core areas: Qur’an (interpretation and history), Hadith (prophetic traditions), Tawhid/Fiqh (Islamic beliefs and practices), and Islamic History (Sirah and West African spread).

    The WAEC Islamic Religious Studies (IRS) examination is divided into two papers: Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 consists of 50 objective multiple-choice questions designed to test candidates’ understanding of major Islamic teachings and concepts. Paper 2 contains six essay questions, from which candidates are usually expected to answer four, ensuring that at least one question is selected from each section of the syllabus.

    A major focus of the examination is the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sunnah. Students are expected to understand and memorize selected Surahs, their meanings, and lessons, as well as the history of the Qur’an’s revelation, compilation, and preservation. The exam also covers teachings against shirk, the distinction between Hadith and Sunnah, notable Hadith compilers, and the classification of Hadith, alongside important lessons from selected traditions such as the 40 Hadith of Imam an-Nawawi.

    The examination further emphasizes Tawhid, Fiqh, and Islamic history. Candidates are expected to understand the Five Pillars of Islam, purification practices, family laws, and ritual observances. In addition, topics on the life of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), the Hijrah, the Farewell Sermon, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and the spread of Islam into West Africa, particularly in regions such as Hausaland and Borno, are important areas of study.

It is a mandatory religious duty for Muslims that must be carried out at least once in their lifetime by all adult Muslims who are physically and financially capable of undertaking the journey.

    (ii)Patience and Endurance: The physical demands of the rites build spiritual and physical discipline.
    (iii)Submission to Allah: Every ritual reflects the pilgrim’s total surrender to the will of God.
    (iv)Unity of the Ummah: It serves as a global gathering that strengthens the bond of brotherhood among Muslims worldwide.

    (v)Lack of Flaws (‘Illah): The Hadith had to be free from any subtle hidden defects in the chain or the text.
    (vi)Spiritual Verification: It is recorded that he performed Ghusl and prayed two units of Istikhara prayer before adding any Hadith to his final collection.

    (iii)The Pledges of ‘Aqabah: Representatives from Yathrib (the Aws and Khazraj) pledged their loyalty and protection to the Prophet, providing a secure destination for the community.
    (iv)The Assassination Plot: The leaders of the Quraysh had conspired to kill the Prophet (S.A.W.) in his sleep, necessitating an immediate and secret departure to ensure his safety and the survival of the message.

    ====================

    Number 4

    (4a)
    Truthfulness: “And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know it.” This emphasizes that truthfulness is not just about speaking the truth, but also about integrity ensuring that truth remains pure and is never hidden to deceive others.

    (iii)Fulfilling Covenants: He strictly adhered to the terms of treaties, such as the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah, even when the terms appeared disadvantageous to the Muslims.
    (iv)Conveying the Message: Despite intense persecution, he never altered the revelations of the Quran to please the Quraysh, maintaining absolute truth in his mission.

    (4c)
    (i)Loss of Trust: A society without truth suffers from a breakdown in social and business relationships, as no one can rely on the word of another.
    (ii)Spread of Corruption: When falsehood is normalized, injustice, bribery, and exploitation become prevalent, leading to the decay of moral values.
    (iii)Divine Displeasure: In Islamic theology, dishonesty is a characteristic of hypocrisy (Nifaq). It distances individuals from the mercy of Allah and leads to spiritual ruin.

    ====================

    Number 5

    (5a)
    Ayat al-Kursi (The Verse of the Throne).

    (5b)
    Allāhu lā ‘ilāha ‘illā Huwa al-Ḥayyu al-Qayyūm. Lā ta’khudhuhu sinatun wa lā nawm. Lahu mā fīs-samāwāti wa mā fīl-’arḍ. Man dhal-ladhī yashfa‘u ‘indahu ‘illā bi-idhnih? Ya‘lamu mā bayna aydīhim wa mā khalfahum, wa lā yuḥīṭūna bi-shay’im-min ‘ilmihī ‘illā bi-mā shā’. Wasi‘a kursiyyuhu s-samāwāti wal-’arḍ, wa lā ya’ūduhu ḥifẓuhumā, wa Huwa al-‘Aliyyu al-‘Aẓīm.”

    (iii)Divine Knowledge: Allah’s knowledge is all-encompassing, covering the past, present, and future, while humans only know what He permits.
    (iv)Effortless Guardianship: Allah maintains and protects the entire universe without ever becoming tired or weary.

    ====================

    Number 6

    (6a)
    The Hadith narrated by Abū Sa’īd al-Khudriyy is Hadith 34 in Imam an-Nawawī’s Forty Hadith.

    (6b)
    “Whoever amongst you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he is not able, then with his tongue; and if he is not able, then with his heart and that is the weakest of faith.”

    (6c)
    (i)Obligation of Action: It is a religious duty for every Muslim to oppose injustice and wrongdoing according to their capacity.
    (ii)Levels of Authority: Changing evil “with the hand” generally refers to those in positions of authority (like parents or rulers), while “with the tongue” refers to speaking out or giving advice.
    (iii)The Power of Intention: Even if one is physically or socially unable to stop an evil, they must still hate it in their heart. This ensures the believer’s conscience remains pure.
    (iv)Degrees of Faith: The Prophet (S.A.W.) indicates that faith is not static; taking active steps to improve society is a sign of stronger faith compared to silent disapproval.
    (v)Wisdom and Gradation: The Hadith teaches a systematic approach to social reform, prioritizing direct action where possible but allowing for verbal and internal resistance to prevent greater harm.

    WAEC CRS Answers 1st June 2026/2027

    WAEC CRS Answers 1st June 2026/2027: The WAEC Christian Religious Studies (CRS) exam is divided into Objective (Paper 1) and Essay (Paper 2) sections. Questions are drawn strictly from the approved syllabus, focusing on themes like the sovereignty of God, divine preservation, leadership, and the teachings of Jesus Christ and Paul.

    The examination consists of two papers. Paper 1 is an objective test containing 50 compulsory multiple-choice questions designed to assess candidates’ broad knowledge of the Bible and key Christian teachings, carrying a total of 50 marks. Paper 2 is an essay paper in which candidates are required to answer four questions selected from different sections, including the Old Testament, the Synoptic Gospels and Acts of the Apostles, and the Epistles.

    WAEC CRS Answers 1st June 2026/2027

    CRS ANSWER NUMBER 2 (a) Eli was a priest and judge in Israel. His two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were wicked. They treated the Lord’s offering with contempt, taking meat by force and sleeping with women who served at the entrance of the tent of meeting. Eli heard about their evil deeds but only rebuked them weakly; he did not stop them or remove them from office. A man of God came to Eli and pronounced judgment: Eli’s household would be cut off; no old man would be in his family; both his sons would die on the same day; and the priesthood would pass to a faithful priest (Zadok). Later, in battle against the Philistines, Hophni and Phinehas were killed, and when Eli heard that the Ark of God was captured, he fell backwards off his seat, broke his neck, and died. (b)

    1. Set clear rules and enforce consequences consistently.
    1. Assign age-appropriate chores and hold children accountable.
    2. Model responsible behaviour themselves (lead by example).

    CRS ANSWER NUMBER 3 (a) King Saul was pursuing David to kill him. David had twice spared Saul’s life. The first time, in the cave at En Gedi, Saul came in to relieve himself, and David cut off a corner of Saul’s robe but did not harm him. Then David called out to Saul, showing the piece of cloth. Saul wept and admitted, “You are more righteous than I.” Later, David and Abishai found Saul asleep in his camp. Abishai wanted to kill Saul, but David took only his spear and water jug. From a distance, David called out, rebuking Abner for not protecting the king. Saul recognized David’s voice and said, “Is this your voice, my son David?” Saul then confessed, “I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will no more do you harm, because my life was precious in your eyes this day.” David returned the spear, and they parted. (b)

    1. Respect for God’s anointed – David refused to harm Saul, even when provoked.

    CRS ANSWER NUMBER 4 (a) While repairing the temple, Hilkiah the high priest found the Book of the Law (likely Deuteronomy). He gave it to Shaphan the scribe, who read it to King Josiah. When Josiah heard the words of the Law, he tore his clothes in grief because he realized that Judah had not kept God’s commands and that great wrath was coming. He sent officials to inquire of the Lord. They went to Huldah the prophetess, who confirmed that disaster would come upon Judah for idolatry, but because Josiah’s heart was penitent and he had humbled himself, the disaster would not happen in his days. Josiah then gathered all the people and read the Book to them. He made a covenant to follow the Lord and keep His commandments. He proceeded to destroy all idols, altars, and high places throughout Judah and Israel. (b)

    1. Many people have lost knowledge of Scripture, just as the Book of the Law was lost.
    1. Idolatry exists in modern forms – money, fame, pleasure – replacing true worship.
    2. A remnant remains that responds with repentance and reform when they hear God’s word.

    Number 9

    (9a)
    Peter began with a general admonition to Christians to be subject, for the Lord’s sake, to every human institution, whether it is to the emperor as the supreme authority on earth, or to the government appointed by him to oversee the administration with delegated powers to punish offenders or reward those who do right, for this is the will of God, the ultimate power behind these earthly authorities. He said that by doing the right thing, they would put to shame the ignorance of foolish men. He admonished them to live as men free from the curse of the law and not to misuse their liberty as a pretext for evil. He said they should rather live as servants of God with the fear of God. They should honour all men, love the Christians brotherhood and honour the emperor.

    (9b)
    (i) He should have love for his nation and its legitimate institutions, both civil and religious.
    (ii) He should obey all laws and regulations set up for the smooth administration of the country.
    (iii) If the need arises, a good citizen should even fight to defend the territorial integrity of his nation if other options, including dialogue, fail.
