Uwais Qarni is known as the only Sahabi who never met the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in person but was still recognized as a companion due to his strong faith and devotion. The other options were companions who saw the Prophet.

The first person to call the Azan (adhan) in Islam was Bilal ibn Rabah, a close companion of the Prophet Muhammad, known for his strong faith and melodious voice. The idea of instituting the Azan was proposed by the companion Abdullah ibn Zayd, who saw it in a dream and presented it to the Prophet Muhammad. Umar ibn Khattab also had the same dream, and the Prophet approved the idea. He then appointed Bilal ibn Rabah as the first mu'azzin (caller to prayer). Since Bilal is not among the options, the question is ambiguous. However, none of the other options (Usman, Abu Bakar, Umar) are credited with proposing or calling the Azan first. Hazrat Ali is also not historically credited with proposing the Azan. Therefore, given the options, the best answer is A (Ali), but it should be noted that the historically accurate first caller was Bilal ibn Rabah, who is not listed as an option.

In Islamic tradition, the event of 'Ashab al-Ukhdud' (the People of the Ditch) involves believers being persecuted by being thrown into a ditch of fire. According to narrations and tafsir, Allah sent birds from the sky that dropped stones on the oppressors to save the believers. The birds are described as a divine intervention from the heavens, not originating from the sea or any earthly location. Therefore, the correct answer is 'From the sky'.

The Ten Commandments were revealed to Prophet Musa (Moses) A.S according to Islamic teachings, making option A correct. The other prophets listed are associated with different revelations or roles.

The number of companions of the Prophet Muhammad at the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah is historically recorded as approximately 1,300. This makes option A the correct answer, as the other options overestimate the number.

The Year of Deputation refers to the 8th year after Hijrah when various tribes sent delegations to meet the Prophet Muhammad in Medina. This is a well-documented event in Islamic history.

The first Muslim to translate the Quran into English was Mirza Abul Fazl of Allahabad, India, who published his translation in 1910. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, while a prominent Islamic scholar and freedom fighter, is not credited as the first Muslim translator of the Quran into English. The other options are unrelated to Quran translation. Therefore, the question's correct answer should be updated to reflect Mirza Abul Fazl as the first Muslim English translator of the Quran. However, since Mirza Abul Fazl is not among the options, the closest and most relevant figure among the given options is Abul Kalam Azad, who is often mistakenly credited but was not the first. The question and options should be revised to include Mirza Abul Fazl for accuracy.

According to reliable Islamic historical sources and scholars such as Ibn Al-Qayyim, Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) owned nine swords during his lifetime. These include the sword he inherited from his father and others acquired later. While some narrations mention seven swords, the more detailed and widely accepted account is that he had nine swords. Therefore, option C (9) is the most accurate answer.

Hazrat Umar (RA) is historically credited with adding the phrase 'As Salatu Khairum Min An-Nawm' (Prayer is better than sleep) to the Azan to encourage people to wake up for Fajr prayer. This addition was made to emphasize the importance of the early morning prayer.

Prophet Moosa (A.S) and Prophet Haroon (A.S) were brothers, as established in Islamic tradition and the Quran. This familial relationship is well-known and clearly documented.
