Surah Al-Maidah contains 17 Rukus, which are sections used to facilitate recitation and understanding of the Quran. Therefore, option B is correct.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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'.

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.

The title 'Imam-e-Dar-ul-Hijrat' (meaning 'Imam of the Abode of Emigration') was historically given to Imam Malik ibn Anas, a renowned Islamic scholar and jurist from Medina. This title reflects his status as a leading figure in Medina, the city of the Prophet's emigration (Hijra). The search results from authoritative sources such as Wikipedia confirm that Imam Malik was known by this title among others. Therefore, the correct answer is Imam Malik (option B), not Imam Muhammad (option D).

Al-Mansur was the second Abbasid caliph and is historically credited with founding Baghdad in 762 CE as the new capital of the Abbasid Caliphate, making option B correct.

The Injil refers to the Gospel revealed to Prophet Isa (Jesus) in Islamic belief, which is distinct from the New Testament as understood in Christianity. The options given (Torah, Psalms, Suhuf Ibrahim) are other revealed scriptures in Islam, so 'None of these' is correct since Injil is not any of those.

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) gave Hazrat Talha the title "Tayyab" upon embracing Islam. This title means "pure" or "good". The other options (Faizan, Fayyaz, Farooq) are not historically recorded as titles given to Hazrat Talha. The title "Farooq" is famously associated with Hazrat Umar (RA). Therefore, the correct title given to Hazrat Talha by the Prophet (SAW) is "Tayyab".

Surah Al-Tawbah contains 17 Rukus, which are sections used to facilitate recitation and understanding of the Quranic text. This is a well-established fact in Quranic studies.

Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) gave the key of Bait Ullah permanently to Hazrat Usman bin Talha, entrusting him and his family with the responsibility of its safekeeping, a fact well-documented in Islamic history.

Hazrat Abdul Mutalib, the grandfather of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is traditionally credited with suggesting the name 'Ahmed' for him. This is supported by Islamic historical sources.

In Islamic tradition, the angel Mika'il (Mika’il) is responsible for bringing rain and sustenance to the earth. This is well-established in Islamic teachings, distinguishing him from other angels like Jibra’il (Gabriel), Israfil, and Azrael who have different roles.

In Arabic, the word "Bunyan" (بنيان) means "building" or "structure." It refers to the act or result of constructing something, which aligns with option B.

According to Islamic inheritance law, if a husband dies childless, the widow is entitled to one-quarter (1/4) of the husband's estate after the payment of debts and funeral expenses. This is explicitly stated in the Quran (Surah An-Nisa 4:12) and confirmed by Islamic jurisprudence. If the husband has children, the widow's share is reduced to one-eighth. Since the question specifies the husband dies childless, the widow receives one-quarter (1/4). Therefore, option C (¼) is the correct answer, not B (1/3).

Sadaqah al-Fitr (Zakat al-Fitr) was established in the 3rd year of Hijri as a mandatory charity to be given before Eid prayers, to purify fasting persons from any shortcomings and help the poor celebrate Eid.

Surah Al-A'raf contains 25 Rukus, which are sections used to facilitate recitation and understanding of the Quran. Therefore, option B is correct.

The Ushara-e-Mubashra (the ten companions promised Paradise) are a well-known group in Islamic tradition. The canonical list includes Saad Bin Abi Waqas (option C) among others such as Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubayr, Abdurrahman ibn Awf, Sa'id ibn Zayd, and Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah. Saad Bin Abada (option B) is not included in this list, nor is Hazrat Hamza (option D). Therefore, the correct answer is Saad Bin Abi Waqas (option C).

The phrase “Bunyan al Marsoos” (meaning 'well-built structure') appears in Surah Al-Saff (61:4) of the Holy Quran, where it is used metaphorically to describe the steadfastness of those who strive in the cause of Allah. This confirms that option B is correct.
