The Five Pillars of Islam are the five basic acts of worship that are considered the foundation of a Muslim's faith and practice. These pillars are Shahada (faith), Salah (prayer), Zakat (charity), Sawm (fasting during Ramadan), and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca).

The word "Quran" means "the recitation" or "frequently recited," referring to the Islamic holy book that is recited regularly by Muslims. Therefore, option A is correct.

Islam is based on the Quran, which is the holy book, and the Sunnah, which are the teachings and practices of the Prophet Muhammad. These form the primary sources of Islamic law and guidance.

The name of the camel on which Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) traveled is Qaswa. This is well-documented in Islamic history and traditions.

There are only five pillars of Islam, not fifteen. The pillars are Shahada, Salah (Namaz), Zakat, Sawm (Roza), and Hajj. Among the options, Hajj is one of the five pillars, so it is the correct answer in this context.

The Battle of Uhud (Ghazwa e Uhud) took place in the 3rd year after Hijrah (3 AH). This is well documented in Islamic history sources, which state that the battle occurred in Shawwal of 3 AH. Therefore, the correct answer is option B (3 Hijri).

Surah Al Naml (Chapter 27) contains the phrase 'Bismillah' twice: once at the beginning of the surah and once within verse 30, where it appears in the letter from Prophet Solomon to the Queen of Sheba.

In Islamic teachings, there are 8 main categories (Masarif) to which Zakat can be distributed, as outlined in the Quran (Surah At-Tawbah 9:60). These include the poor, the needy, Zakat collectors, those whose hearts are to be reconciled, freeing captives, those in debt, in the cause of Allah, and the stranded traveler.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was buried in Madina, specifically in the chamber of his wife Aisha, which is now part of the Prophet's Mosque. This is a well-established historical fact in Islamic history.

Sahih Bukhari is a famous collection of hadiths compiled by Imam Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Bukhari, making option C the correct answer.
