سید اقبال رضوی شارب

ہم پہ رحمت ہے عنایت ہے نبوت انکی
ہم تو قاصر ہیں بیاں کرنے سے عظمت انکی

رب نے لکھ دی ہے جو قرآں میں فضیلت انکی
اب کوئی ہم میں سے کیا لکھے گا مدحت انکی

اپنے محبوب کو پہلے تو بنایا اس نے
اور پھر جز کیا ایماں کا رسالت انکی

گو کہ بھیجا انھیں کل نبیوں میں سب سے آخر
ہاں مگر رکھ دی سبھی نبیوں پہ سبقت انکی

ہم ہیں عشّاق نبی شہر مدینہ سے ہمیں
آج بھی ملنے چلی آتی ہے نکہت انکی

بغض حیدر پہ بھی فردوس کا دعوا ہے جنھیں
مثلِ شدّاد ہی ہو سکتی ہے جنّت انکی

پیشِ مرسل تھا کیاشعلہ بیانی جن نے
رب نے قرآن میں لکھ دی ہے مذمْت انکی

دیں کی تاریخ نصابوں میں پڑھاتے نہیں وہ
ڈر ہے کھل جائے نہ سچ مچ میں حقیقت انکی

مجھ سے عاصی پہ عنایت سے عیاں ہے شارب
ڈھونڈ لیتی ہے گنہگار کو رحمت انکی

What should be the standard length of CSS answers considering time management?

Answered By Muhammad Abrahim Shah (3rd Position in CSS 2018):
People often say that the answers should be very long. In my opinion, this is not the case. It is in fact your writing style, analysis and structure that is more important than your length. In my opinion, the adequate length for an answer is 6-7 sides of pages (3 and a half pages). Length of answers is not important, for some answers, you might write 5-6 sides of pages, for other you might end up writing 8-9 sides of pages. However, you should try to not give answers shorter than 5-6 sides of pages and focus on headings. In addition to this, your answers should be measured so that you don’t end up having answers to some questions as short as 3 sides of pages while others covering 12 sides of pages. All answers should be more or less the same length so that you can manage your time. Try to give 30-35 minutes to each answer in the exam hall.

How important is it to give references, facts and figures in CSS Paper?

Answered By Muhammad Abrahim Shah (3rd Position in CSS 2018)
I think it is very important, references less so than facts and figures. In most of my exams, I barely gave any references. However, you can give references in Islamic Studies. I used both Arabic and English references in my Islamic Studies exam. As for the facts and figures, make sure that you quote a lot of these in your Essay to make it more authentic. I used 12-13 quotations in my Essay. I used the help of figures in my Current Affairs exam. So these things are very important. One thing to remember is that CSS is a competitive exam. 13000+ people are going to appearing in this exam with you. It’s up to you to figure out how to come in the top 3, the top 10 or the top 100 for that matter. One way to do that is by standing out with the answers that you’re giving and then one way to do that is by presenting analysis and by presenting good facts and figures, so yes, these things are important.

How to prepare for CSS English Essays and composition?

Answered By Muhammad Abrahim Shah (3rd Position in CSS 2018):
There are three things that are very important in my opinion. The first is thing is that you have to understand the topic very crucially. Crucial understanding of the topic is extremely essential. If you fail to do this, then you might have a problem even clearing the exam. Make sure that you’re picking the topic on which you can write a minimum of 15-16 pages and on which you have sufficient knowledge and background. The second thing is the overall structure of your essay. Structure of the essay is even more important than vocabulary. You should focus on vocabulary for the precis and composition part however, for the essay, nothing is as important as its structure. You should be able to judge if you can write a good and coherent paragraph, if you can write well-structured sentences and then connect them, if you’re able to connect paragraphs, if you can write a good introduction and conclusion and if you can make a good outline. If you are able to understand the topic crucially and do all these things and if your language is not plagued with grammatical errors, then you will be able to clear the English essay InShaAllah.

How do you recommend that CSS aspirants prepare for MCQs?

Answered By Muhammad Abrahim Shah (3rd Position in CSS 2018):
For MCQs, what I find most helpful is using different sources. There are a lot of books available in the market that help you in preparing for MCQs of compulsory subjects. For compulsory MCQs, I used Pak Affairs and Islamia books. You can also consider Ilmi. All these books are easily available at Urdu Bazar, Lahore. As for optional subjects, MCQs are often repeated so I used past papers for preparing optional subject MCQs.

Do you have any tips that you would like to share with CSS 2020 aspirants?

Answered By Muhammad Abrahim Shah (3rd Position in CSS 2018):
My number one tip would be to structure your preparation. Make a timeline, try to complete your preparation by November 15 or December 1 at most and then use the remaining two months for revision. Try to use less sources for preparation. Don’t waste time reading 5 or 6 books for one subject. For each subject, try to read 2 books for each subject but make sure these two books are the best books to prepare from. Practice writing with the remaining time. Focus on making good notes that will help you in efficient revision. Focus on time management. Give as many test series and mock exams as you can and most importantly, focus on English Essays. In the end it all comes down to your technique. If you can own your technique, then you’re good to go and the only way to own your technique is through practice. Practice your answers, essays and time management. Collect knowledge from few but good sources. Now is the time that you start preparing for it properly. Give 8-9 hours a day to preparation. Work hard and just keep on practicing. InShaAllah things will go your way.

How should candidates prepare for the CSS Interview?

Interview is a completely different ballgame. There are two ways to go about its preparation. The first way is to work on your speaking skills. Get a partner, recite your answers to them, try speaking in front of the mirror, record yourself and then see where you can improve. The second thing to focus on is expanding your knowledge. There is this misconception that people have where they believe that you need more knowledge for the written exam. I believe that it is the other way around. You need more knowledge for the interview. You can easily pass the written if you have a good technique but with the interview, you need a lot of knowledge. For this I would recommend that you read a few good books that you believe are relevant and you will be able to quote in your interview. I quoted three books in my interview which were then discussed in depth in the interview. I was asked questions on topics which would have gotten me in trouble if I wasn’t well read on them. So, my suggestion to you would be to read a lot. Read different books, engage with different authors and sources and then build an analysis along with practicing answers. The thing that helped me most was assessing myself individually. I would stand in front of the mirror, ask myself questions that I thought I’d be asked in the interview and record myself. This is how I believe one should go about the interview process.

We have heard that you also guide CSS aspirants. What is your teaching methodology?

Answered By Muhammad Abrahim Shah (3rd Position in CSS 2018)

So I teach the essay exam and again, my methodology stems from my belief that we need to focus on the technique.
I divide up my classes into sections on introduction, sections on paragraph structures, sections on developing the body, sections on developing the outline, developing a conclusion and building your argument as well. It’s a very tailor-made process I would say where every aspirant is focused on individually so that every candidate’s individual needs are fulfilled. So I focus on what the individual aspirant’s needs even if it is something as basic as writing a thesis statement, how the introduction should be completed, what the link between introduction and outline is, what the link between outline and conclusion is.
All in all, the idea is to make it easier for aspirants and to focus on their individual needs and hopefully, I will be able to do that in the future as well.
