Kalima Tayyaba, Salat, Zakat, Hajj, and Sawm are known as the Five Pillars of Islam, which are the fundamental acts of worship and practice in Islam.

The term 'Musbaq' in Islamic prayer context refers to the act of hastening or competing to join the prayer early, not the person who leads the prayer. The person who starts or leads the prayer is called the 'Imam'. The other options 'Madurak' and 'Munfarid' do not refer to the prayer leader either. Therefore, the correct answer is 'None of these' since the term 'Musbaq' is not used for the prayer leader.

The 14th Para (Juz') of the Holy Qur’an is known as 'Yatāzarūn' (يَتَزَارُونَ), named after the first word of the Juz'. The other options do not correspond to the names of the 14th Juz'.

E'tikaf is a Sunnah practice during the month of Ramzan, where a person stays in the mosque for worship and reflection. It is not considered Farz (obligatory) or Wajib (necessary), but a recommended Sunnah act.

Taraweeh refers to extra prayers performed by Muslims at night during Ramadan, and the word 'Taraweeh' literally means 'to stand' in Arabic, as these prayers involve standing for long periods.

Hazrat Khadeja (RA) was the first wife of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). She was his only wife for many years and played a significant role in the early days of Islam.

Historical Islamic sources generally state that Hazrat Aisha (R.A) was about 18 years old when Prophet Muhammad (SAW) passed away in 632 CE. This is based on the timeline of her birth, marriage, and the Prophet's death. While there is some scholarly debate about her exact age at marriage and consummation, the commonly accepted age at the time of the Prophet's death is around 18 years old, which aligns with option A (17 years) as the closest choice given the options. The Britannica and other scholarly sources confirm she was about 18 years old when the Prophet died.

The statement "When the month of Ramazan comes, the doors of the Heaven are opened and the doors of hell are closed" is a Hadith, a saying of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and is not found as a Quranic verse. Therefore, the correct answer is Hadith.

The 17th Para (Juz') of the Holy Qur’an is known as 'Qal Alam'. The other options do not correspond to the names of the Juz'.

The 16th Para (Juz') of the Holy Qur’an begins with the Surah Al-Qalam, which is often referred to as 'Qal Alam' based on its opening words. This makes option B the correct answer.
