The second migration to Habshah (Abyssinia) took place in 614 A.D., when a larger group of Muslims sought refuge from persecution in Mecca. This is historically documented as the second migration following the initial smaller group in 613 A.D.

The Battle of Badr was fought by approximately 313 Muslims, which is the historically accepted number. This makes option A the correct answer.

Hazrat Zakariya (AS) prayed for a child despite his old age, and as a result, Hazrat Yahya (AS) was born. This is a well-known story in Islamic tradition.

Hazrat Usman bin Talha was the key holder of the Kaaba during the time of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He belonged to the Banu Shaybah clan, which traditionally held the keys to the Kaaba. Therefore, the correct answer is A: Qasim is incorrect; the key holder was Usman bin Talha.

The original name of Abu Jahl was 'Amr ibn Hisham.' He was also known as Abu al-Hakam (Father of Wisdom) before being called Abu Jahl (Father of Ignorance) by Muslims due to his opposition to Islam. Among the given options, 'Saleh' is the closest Arabic-style name, but the correct original name is 'Amr,' which is not listed. Therefore, the question should ideally include 'Amr' as an option. However, since 'Amr' is not provided, the best correction is to clarify the correct original name as 'Amr ibn Hisham' and note that none of the options are fully correct.

Hazrat Umar (R.A) is historically credited with adding the second Azan for Friday prayers to notify people about the Jumu'ah prayer time, distinguishing it from the regular daily Azan. This practice helped organize the community for the special Friday congregational prayer.

Among the Sahabah, Hazrat Abu Bakr was the first to pass away after the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Hazrat Ali, Umar, and Asad died later. Therefore, the correct answer is Abu Bakar (B).

The first Hijrah refers to the migration of early Muslims from Mecca to the Christian Kingdom of Aksum (modern-day Ethiopia and Eritrea) to escape persecution by the Quraysh. This migration occurred around 613-615 CE and is known as the First Hijrah. Ja'far ibn Abi Talib was a prominent figure in the second group of migrants who went to Abyssinia around 616 CE and acted as the spokesperson before the Negus (the Aksumite king), securing asylum for the refugees. The first group was led by Uthman ibn Mazun. The second Hijrah refers to the migration to Medina, which happened later. The name 'Jehad' in the question likely refers to Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, who was allowed in the first Hijrah to Abyssinia.
