Islamic Studies

The fundamental beliefs of Islam, known as the Articles of Faith, are traditionally listed in this order: Tauheed (Oneness of God), Risalat (Prophethood), Malaika (Angels), Alhami Kutub (Revealed Books), and Akhirat (Hereafter). Option B correctly reflects this sequence.

The term 'Saabi' in pre-Islamic Arab context refers to those who worshiped idols or practiced idolatry. While some Arabs worshiped celestial bodies like the moon or stars, 'Saabi' specifically denotes idol worshipers.

Islamic tradition describes several modes of revelation to the Prophet Muhammad, including revelation in dreams, from behind a veil (curtain), ringing bells, and direct auditory transmission by the Angel Gabriel. Among these, the hardest form of revelation is considered to be the one where the Angel Gabriel calls in the ears of the Prophet like a bell, which is a direct and intense auditory experience. This is distinct from revelation behind a veil (curtain), which is hearing the voice without seeing the speaker, or revelation in dreams, which is less intense. The ringing bells form of revelation is also considered difficult but not the hardest. Therefore, the hardest form of revelation is the 'Ringing Bells' type, corresponding to option C.

In Islamic terminology, 'Hadi' refers to the last pebble thrown at the Jamrah (symbolizing the stoning of Iblees) during the ritual of Hajj. Therefore, option B is correct.

The majority of the Quran was revealed during the night, particularly during the month of Ramadan, as per Islamic tradition. This is supported by the significance of Laylat al-Qadr (the Night of Decree) when the Quran's revelation began.

Historical Islamic sources indicate that at the time of the death of Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), there were approximately 30 Huffaz (those who had memorized the entire Quran). This number is widely accepted among scholars and aligns with traditional accounts. While the exact number may vary slightly in different narrations, 30 is the most commonly cited figure, making option D the correct answer.

The place referred to as the 'Sacred Monument' (Al-Mash'ar Al-Haram) in the Holy Quran is Mina, which is mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:198). Mina is a significant site during Hajj rituals.

Hazrat Khizar (A.S) is traditionally recognized in Islamic teachings as the teacher and guide of Hazrat Musa (A.S), imparting spiritual knowledge and wisdom to him. The other figures listed were not known as his teachers.

Hazrat Aisha Siddiqa (Radi-Allahu Anha) is known to have narrated approximately 2210 Hadiths of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), making her the most prolific female narrator among the Ummul-Mumineen. The other options did not narrate this many Hadiths.

Historical Islamic sources and authentic narrations confirm that during the Battle of Uhud, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) stationed 50 skilled archers on Mount Uhud (Jabal Uhud) to guard the rear and prevent enemy attacks from that direction. This strategic placement was crucial in the battle's initial success. The mountain is known as Jabal Uhud, not Jabal-e-Yahnene. The other options listed (Jabal-e-Safa, Jabal al-Rumah) are not historically associated with this event.
