Hazrat Khadija (RA) was the first wife of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW). She was his only wife until her death and is well-known in Islamic history for her support and companionship.

The Holy Quran contains 29 surahs that start with the disjointed or "broken" letters (حروف مقطعات). These letters appear at the beginning of certain chapters and are known as muqattaʿat. The correct number is 29, which corresponds to option A. The original question had the correct answer set to D (21), which is incorrect. The explanation has been updated to reflect the accurate count based on authoritative Quranic sources.

Hazrat Abdul Muttalib, the grandfather of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is historically known to be buried in Makkah. This is well documented in Islamic history.

Hazrat Khadija (RA)'s father was Khuwaylid ibn Asad. The other options refer to different historical figures unrelated to her parentage.

The letter 'Taa' (ت) is indeed one of the most commonly used letters following 'Alif' (الف) in the Holy Quran, especially in common Arabic words and grammatical constructs. While the letter 'Lam' (ل) is very frequent after Alif due to the definite article 'Al-', among the given options, 'Taa' is the most plausible and commonly occurring letter after Alif in Quranic text. This aligns with the original answer and explanation.

The term 'Arkan Roza' refers to the essential pillars of fasting in Islam, which are four in number: intention (niyyah), abstaining from food and drink from dawn to sunset, refraining from sinful speech and behavior, and breaking the fast at sunset. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.

Hazrat Ismail (A.S) is traditionally believed to be buried in the region of Saudi Arabia, specifically near Mecca or in the area historically associated with his life. This is consistent with Islamic historical traditions.

According to Islamic tradition, Hazrat Isa (A.S) met the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SAW) during the Mi'raj (ascension), and this meeting occurred in the third heaven. This is a well-known detail in Islamic teachings about the Prophet's night journey.

Islamic teachings provide exemptions from fasting during Ramadan for individuals who are unable to fast due to valid reasons. These include sickness, traveling, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and senility or old age. The Quran explicitly mentions that those who are ill or traveling may make up the missed fasts later. Pregnant and breastfeeding women are also exempt if fasting may harm them or their child. Elderly or frail individuals who cannot fast are excused and may feed a poor person instead. Therefore, all the options listed (A, B, C, and D) are valid exemptions. However, since the question asks 'Who are exempt' and only one answer is to be selected, sickness (A) is a primary and general exemption that covers many cases, making it the best single choice among the options provided.

Hazrat Shoaib (A.S) is traditionally believed to be buried near the area of Jordan, specifically in the region of Ma'in or near the Dead Sea, which is within modern-day Jordan. This is supported by various Islamic historical sources and local traditions.
