Ghazwa Khandaq is another name for Ghazwa al-Ahzab, which refers to the Battle of the Confederates (Ahzab) or the Battle of the Trench (Khandaq). This battle is historically significant in Islamic history.

Abdullah bin Salam (RA) was a learned Jewish scholar and rabbi from the Banu Qaynuqa tribe of Medina before accepting Islam. He was not a Magian (Zoroastrian), Christian, or polytheist. Historical sources confirm that he was Jewish and converted to Islam after meeting the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' (None of these) as the options do not include 'Jewish'.

Surah Al-Nisa contains 23 Rukus (sections). Therefore, option A is correct. Option B (24) is incorrect as the Surah has one less Ruku.

The title 'Ameen-ul-Umat' (Trustworthy of the Nation) is historically attributed to Hazrat Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah (RA) due to his exemplary trustworthiness and leadership in the early Muslim community.

Ada bin Hatam al-Tai embraced Islam in 3 Hijri, which corresponds to the early period of Islamic history shortly after the Prophet Muhammad's migration to Medina.

The seal affixed on important letters by Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was in the custody of Hazrat Ali (RA), who was known to be the keeper of the Prophet's seal. This is well-documented in Islamic history.

Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) was the first adult male to openly and emphatically declare his conversion to Islam, supporting Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from the early days. Hazrat Umar (RA) converted later and was the second male convert.

Muslim women participated for the first time in the Battle of the Trench (Khandaq), where they played important roles such as nursing the wounded and supplying water and weapons. They were not recorded as participating in combat in the earlier battles like Uhud or Badr.

During Shab-e-Meraj (the Night Journey), it is believed that 50 prayers were initially made obligatory for Muslims. Later, this number was reduced to five daily prayers, which remain obligatory today.

The Kusuf prayer (Ṣalāt al-Kusūf) is a special Islamic prayer performed during a solar eclipse, not a lunar eclipse. The prayer is performed as soon as the solar eclipse begins and continues until it ends. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) instructed Muslims to hasten to pray and supplicate during the eclipse. There is a separate prayer called Salat al-Khusuf for lunar eclipses. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Solar eclipse'.
