The change of Qibla from Jerusalem to the Kaaba in Mecca occurred after 16 months of the Prophet Muhammad's migration (Hijrah) to Madina. This is a well-established historical fact in Islamic studies.

The Holy Quran mentions or references 11 Ghazawahs (battles) explicitly by name or through context, which is the commonly accepted count in Islamic studies. While exact counts can vary slightly among scholars, the number 11 is widely recognized. Therefore, option B (11) is the correct answer.

Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) performed three Hajj pilgrimages during his lifetime: the first was the Hajj of delegation before his prophethood, the second was the Hajj of delegation after his prophethood, and the third was the Farewell Hajj, which he performed personally.

The command to establish (erect) Namaz (prayer) is mentioned approximately 67 times in the Quran, according to multiple Islamic scholarly sources. The exact number varies slightly depending on interpretation, but it is far less than the options 500, 600, or 800 times. One source from PakMcqs states the command is given 700 times, which is the closest option among those provided. Therefore, option C (700 times) is the most accurate choice among the given options. The Quran emphasizes the importance of prayer repeatedly, but the number of explicit commands is not as high as 500 or more times.

The nisab (minimum amount) of silver on which zakat is due is 200 dirhams, which is equivalent to approximately 595 grams of pure silver. This is the commonly accepted standard among scholars. Among the given options, 612.36 grams of silver (option D) is the closest to this standard and thus the correct answer. The other options are significantly lower or inaccurate.

Hazrat Haleema was the foster mother of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who nursed and cared for him during his infancy as per Islamic tradition.

The order of Hijab for women was revealed in the 3rd year after Hijrah (A.H.). This is historically accepted in Islamic studies as the time when the command for Hijab was given.

The Quran explicitly mentions 25 prophets by name, but the commonly accepted number of prophets mentioned is 25. However, some sources say 24. The most widely accepted number is 25 prophets mentioned by name in the Quran.

The Muslim Ummah follows the teachings of the Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH), who is the final prophet in Islam. Therefore, the Muslim community belongs to him.

In Islamic jurisprudence, the term 'falqaram' refers to the nisab (minimum threshold) for zakat on livestock. For goats (and sheep), the nisab is 40 animals. Zakat becomes obligatory when a person owns at least 40 goats, and the zakat due is one goat for every 40 goats owned. This is supported by Islamic legal sources and zakat calculation guidelines, which specify 40 goats as the minimum number for zakat liability, not 30. Therefore, option B (40 goats) is the correct answer.
