According to Islamic law, zakat becomes obligatory on goats when a person owns at least 40 goats. Less than this number does not require zakat to be paid.

The Holy Quran was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) over a period of 23 years in the 7th century CE. He is regarded as the last prophet in Islam.

In Islamic teachings, following the life, character, and teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is considered the best path to success in both this life and the Hereafter. His guidance provides moral, spiritual, and practical principles for a successful life.

Hazrat Umar (R.A) was deeply moved by the recitation of Surah Taha, which led to his conversion to Islam. This event is well-documented in Islamic history.

Historical sources indicate that during Hazrat Abu Bakr's (RA) caliphate, the Muslim army was divided into three main corps to march towards Syria. These corps were led by commanders such as Amr ibn al-As, Yazid ibn Abi Sufyan, and Shurahbil ibn Hasana. This organization was part of the early Muslim military campaigns against the Byzantine Empire. The original answer stating four corps is not supported by the majority of historical accounts, which consistently mention three corps.

Historical Islamic sources consistently state that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was about 35 years old when he resolved the dispute among the Quraysh tribes regarding the placement of the Hajr-e-Aswad (Black Stone) during the reconstruction of the Kaaba. This event took place before his prophethood and is well documented as a significant moment demonstrating his wisdom and leadership, earning him the title 'Al-Amin' (the Trustworthy).

The recitation of 'Rabbana Lakal Hamd' after rising from ruku (bowing) in prayer is called 'Tahmeed' in Islamic terminology.

Historical and Islamic scholarly sources confirm that Hazrat Abdullah (RA), the father of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), died in Makkah (Mecca) before the birth of the Prophet. He died while returning from a trade journey, and his death occurred in Makkah, not Madina. This is supported by multiple Islamic historical accounts and fatwas. Therefore, the correct answer is 'B' (Makkah).

Makruh-it-Tanzihi refers to actions in Islamic law that are disliked but not sinful; avoiding them is rewarded, but doing them is not punishable. It is considered a minor vice rather than a sin.

The Battle of Tabook (Ghazwa-e-Tabook) took place in 9 Hijri (630 CE) during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This is a well-documented event in Islamic history.
