Quranic Studies

The phrase 'Al-Quran-ul-Hakeem' (The Wise Quran) appears in Surah Al Imran (3:1). It is not found in Surah Yaseen, Nisa, or Maeda. Therefore, option A is correct.

Hazrat Abu al-Aswad al-Du’ali (RA) is historically credited with introducing diacritical marks to the Quran to aid in correct pronunciation and recitation, making option C correct. Imam Malik and Imam Shafi were prominent Islamic scholars but not known for this contribution.

Surah Al-Jinn is the 72nd chapter of the Holy Quran. This is a well-known fact in Islamic studies and is consistent across all standard Quranic orders.

The name “Ahmed” appears in the Holy Quran 4 times, referring to the Prophet Muhammad by one of his names. This is more than once, so option B (4) is correct, not D (1).

Only one Surah in the Holy Quran contains exactly three verses, which is Surah Al-Kawthar. Therefore, the correct answer is 'One'.

Surah Saba is classified as a Makki surah because it was revealed before the migration of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to Madinah. Makki surahs are those revealed in Makkah, and Surah Saba falls under this category.

The first bowing (ruku) in the Quran occurs in Para (Juz) 8, specifically in Surah Al-Anfal. Therefore, option A is correct.

The longest verse (Ayat) in the Holy Quran is Ayat Al-Dayn (Verse of Debt), which is found in Surah Al-Baqarah (Chapter 2). Therefore, Surah Al-Baqarah contains the longest Ayat.

Surah Al-Kahf translates to "The Cave" in English, referring to the story of the people of the cave mentioned in the chapter.

The bird crow is mentioned in the Quran in Surah An-Naml (The Ant), specifically in the story of Prophet Solomon when a crow teaches a lesson about burying a dead body. This makes option A correct.

The story of Prophet Yousuf (Joseph) is referred to in the Quran as “Aḥsanal-Qaṣaṣ” which means “The Best Story” due to its detailed narrative and moral lessons. This is explicitly mentioned in Surah Yusuf (Chapter 12).

Only four Surahs in the Holy Quran start with 'Al-Hamdulillah': Surah Al-Fatiha, Surah Al-An'am, Surah Al-Kahf, and Surah Saba. Therefore, the correct answer is Four.

The Battle of Badr is referred to as the 'Day of Furqaan' in the Quran (Surah Al-Anfal 8:41), symbolizing the day when truth was distinguished from falsehood. This event is significant in Islamic history as the first major battle fought by the Muslims.

Surah Muhammad is also known as Surah Qital (Qatal) because it discusses the rules of fighting and warfare in Islam, making option C the correct answer.

112 Surahs of the Holy Quran start with 'Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem'. The exception is Surah At-Tawbah (9), which does not begin with this phrase, and Surah An-Naml (27), which contains it within the text but not at the start.

Surah Asr, Surah Kausar, and Surah Nasr each contain exactly three verses, so all of these surahs have three verses.

The verse نَصْرٌ مِّنَ اللَّـهِ وَفَتْحٌ قَرِيبٌ (Help from Allah and an imminent victory) is from Surah As-Saff (61:13). This makes option C correct.

All the listed surahs—Al-Nas, Saba, and Yasin—are classified as Makki surahs, meaning they were revealed in Makkah before the migration to Madinah. Therefore, the correct answer is 'All of these.'

The event of Mubahila is mentioned in Surah Al-Imran (Chapter 3) of the Quran, specifically in verse 61. This verse refers to the challenge of invoking God's curse upon the liars to resolve a dispute.

The first recipient of wahi (divine revelation) in Makkah was Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) himself, not any of the companions listed. The term 'prescriber' is unclear and misleading in this context. Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A.) was the first adult male to accept Islam but did not receive wahi. Therefore, none of the options A, B, or C are correct. The correct answer is 'None of these'.

The shortest Surah in the Quran is Al-Kawthar (Surah 108) with 3 verses. The second shortest Surah is Al-Quraish (Surah 106), which has 4 verses. Surah Al-Ikhlas (Surah 112) has 4 verses but is longer in length compared to Al-Quraish. Surah Al-Asr has 3 verses but is not the second shortest by length or verse count after Al-Kawthar. Therefore, the second shortest Surah is Al-Quraish, making option B the correct answer.

In the Holy Quran, the word "Azeez" means "Dominator" or "Mighty," indicating strength and power. It is used to describe Allah's attribute of being all-powerful and dominant.
