Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A) was the first Khulifa-e-Rashid who declared war against tribes that refused to pay zakat after the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) death, initiating the Ridda Wars to maintain Islamic unity and obligations.

Hazrat Ayub A.S (Prophet Job) is renowned in Islamic tradition for his extraordinary patience during severe trials and hardships, making him the correct answer.

Authoritative Islamic sources and scholarly consensus indicate that the word 'Zakat' is mentioned 32 times in the Quran. Many of these mentions are linked with Salah (prayer), emphasizing the importance of both as pillars of Islam. The original answer 'D' (42 times) is an overestimate. Therefore, the correct answer is 'B' (32 times).

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) received his first Wahi (revelation) at the age of 40, which is a well-established fact in Islamic history.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was born in the Year of the Elephant, which is traditionally dated to approximately 570 CE. This year is famously known as the Year of the Elephant due to the event when Abraha's army, which included war elephants, attempted to attack the Kaaba in Mecca but was miraculously defeated. Islamic tradition holds that the Prophet was born in this year, which corresponds to the 3rd year before the Hijra calendar. The question's options refer to the sequence of years, and the correct choice is '3rd' to indicate the year relative to the Hijra calendar, aligning with the traditional understanding.

Historical Islamic sources indicate that Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) sacrificed 60 camels during his Farewell Hajj. This is a well-documented event in Islamic tradition.

The first Hajj performed by Muslims took place in the 10th year of Hijri (Islamic calendar) after the migration of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to Medina. This is historically documented as the year when the Prophet and his followers performed the pilgrimage following the conquest of Mecca.

The event of Bait-e-Rizwan (Pledge of Ridwan) took place in the 6th year of Hijrah (6 AH). This pledge was made by the companions of Prophet Muhammad before the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah as a commitment to support the Prophet and avenge the martyrdom of Caliph Uthman if necessary. Multiple reliable sources confirm the year as the 6th Hijri year, not the 7th.

Salat-e-Istasqa is a special prayer offered in Islam to seek rain during times of drought or shortage of rain. It is not related to solar eclipses or famines directly.

The nisab (minimum threshold) for zakat on camels is five camels. If a person owns fewer than five camels, no zakat is due. For 5 to 9 camels, the zakat due is one sheep. This is the established ruling in classical Islamic jurisprudence and is confirmed by multiple authoritative sources. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 camels (option B), not 4 camels.
