Hazrat Ammar ibn Yasir (RA) was martyred at the Battle of Siffin around the age of 75. Historical sources generally agree on this approximate age rather than 80, 90, or 96.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A) is widely recognized as the Sahabi who narrated the maximum number of Ahadith. He dedicated much of his life to preserving and transmitting the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) appointed Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA) as the governor of Yemen (specifically the region of Zafar). He was known for his knowledge of القرآن and his excellent governance skills.

Surah Ar-Rahman (Surah Rehman) contains the word 'Allah' in every verse, making it unique among the Surahs of the Qur’an. This is a well-known fact in Islamic studies.

Hazrat Khalid Bin Walid R.A was the companion who destroyed the idol named 'Sawa' in the city of Ta'if during the early Islamic period. This act was part of the efforts to eliminate idolatry and spread Islam.

The Quran mentions that the number of months is twelve in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:189). This verse clearly states the count of months as twelve according to Allah's ordinance.

Ijma (consensus) in Islamic law refers to the unanimous agreement of Islamic scholars on a particular legal or religious issue after the time of the Prophet Muhammad. Among the examples of ijma are practices and rulings that were universally accepted by the Muslim community and scholars. The Azan for Juma (Friday) prayer is a classic example of ijma, as it was established by consensus among the early Muslim community and scholars. The compilation of the Holy Quran, while a critical event in Islamic history, was a historical process led by the Prophet's companions and caliphs and is not classified as ijma itself. Taraweeh prayer, although a recommended practice and established by Caliph Umar, is considered a sunnah practice and not specifically an example of ijma consensus. Therefore, option A is correct.

Hazrat Khalid bin Saeed (RA) was the first companion from the Quraysh tribe to write down the revelations (Wahi) in Makkah. He served as the initial scribe for the early verses revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) before the migration to Madinah. After the migration, Hazrat Zaid bin Sabit (RA), who was from the Ansar tribe, became the chief scribe responsible for recording the revelations and later compiling the Quran. Therefore, while Hazrat Zaid bin Sabit (RA) was the main scribe in Madinah, the first writer of Wahi from the Quraysh tribe was Hazrat Khalid bin Saeed (RA).

Al-Muwatta of Imam Malik contains approximately 1700 hadiths. This is the most commonly accepted number among scholars, making option A correct.

The commandment for observing fasting is stipulated in Surah Al-Baqarah, specifically in verses 183-185, which outline the rules and significance of fasting during Ramadan.

Abdul Muttalib, the grandfather of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), is historically credited with rediscovering the Zam Zam Well after it had been buried and lost for many years. This is a well-known event in Islamic history.

Historical Islamic sources report that Caliph Uthman ibn Affan ordered multiple copies of the Qur'an to be compiled and sent to various Islamic regions to standardize the text. The exact number of copies originally made varies in narrations, ranging from four to nine, with six being a commonly cited figure. However, only a few of these original Uthmanic codices or their fragments survive today, with about three to five recognized specimens such as the Samarkand, Topkapi (Istanbul), and Cairo manuscripts. Therefore, the traditional answer that three copies were sent out aligns with common scholarly consensus and the question's intent, which is about the number of copies compiled and distributed by Uthman, not the number currently extant. Hence, option C (3) is correct in this context.

Historical and scholarly sources on the Battle of the Camel indicate that the Muslim death toll on both sides was approximately 5,000. While some sources mention higher numbers of casualties in the broader conflict and related events, the commonly cited figure for the battle itself is around 5,000 deaths. This aligns with the original answer choice A and is supported by multiple historical accounts.

The Battle of Qadisiyyah was fought in 636 AD between the Arab Muslim forces and the Sassanian Persian Empire, marking a decisive victory for the Muslims and leading to the Islamic conquest of Persia.

Tehlil refers specifically to the recitation of the phrase 'La ilaha illallah' which is the declaration of Tauheed (the oneness of God). Therefore, option C is correct as it directly relates to the meaning of Tehlil.

Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) belonged to the tribe of Banu Taym, which was a clan of the Quraysh tribe in Mecca. This is a well-established historical fact in Islamic studies.

According to reliable historical sources including the Wikipedia article on Imam Al-Shafi'i, he memorized the Quran by the age of seven. This is a commonly accepted fact in Islamic history. Therefore, the correct answer is option C (Seven).

Salat-e-Janaza (funeral prayer) does not include any Sajdas (prostrations). It consists of standing and specific Takbirs without bowing or prostrating, so the correct answer is 0.

Hazrat Ayesha (R.A) is widely recognized as the most learned wife of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) due to her extensive knowledge of Hadith, Islamic jurisprudence, and her role as a teacher to many companions.

Qutayba Bin Muslim was a prominent Umayyad general who led the Muslim conquest of Central Asia in the early 8th century, expanding Islamic rule into the region. The other options were notable figures but not known for conquering Central Asia.

Hazrat Maryam (Mary), known as Maryam bint Imran in Islamic tradition, was the daughter of Imran and from a prophetic lineage. She was dedicated to the service of Allah and remained a virgin, thus having no husband. She was under the care of the prophet Zakariyya, who is sometimes referred to as her brother-in-law due to familial ties through marriage, but not as a biological brother. Her son was Prophet Isa (Jesus), who is recognized as a prophet in Islam. Other family members such as her father Imran and the prophets Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron) are also from the prophetic lineage. Therefore, among the options given, Hazrat Maryam is the correct answer as she is the woman whose father, husband (in the sense of guardian or close familial protector), brother (brother-in-law), and son were all prophets or from prophetic lineage. The claim that her husband was a prophet is understood in the context of Zakariyya's guardianship rather than a marital relationship. This is consistent with Islamic teachings and Quranic narratives.

The question asks in which non-Muslim holy book the Qur'an is mentioned repeatedly. Based on authoritative sources and scholarly consensus, the Qur'an itself mentions other scriptures such as the Torah (Jewish scripture) and the Psalms (Christian scripture), but there is no evidence that the Qur'an is mentioned by name in any non-Muslim holy book. However, some Christian and Jewish scholars interpret certain passages in the Bible (especially in the Christian Bible) as veiled references to the Qur'an or Prophet Muhammad, though these are interpretive and not explicit or repeated mentions. Among the options, the Christian Bible (Holy book of Christians) is the one most often discussed in this context. Therefore, the most accurate answer is D: Holy book of Christians. The original answer 'C' (Holy book of Jews) is incorrect in this context because the question is about non-Muslim holy books mentioning the Qur'an, not the Qur'an mentioning other scriptures.

In Rajab of the 9th Hijri year, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) led a large force to the region of Tabuk, which is located near the border of Syria. This expedition is historically known as the Expedition of Tabuk.

Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz is widely recognized as the first Mujaddid (reviver) of Islam. Shah Waliullah is commonly regarded as the second Mujaddid, known for his efforts in Islamic reform and revival in the Indian subcontinent. Ahmad Sirhindi is also considered a Mujaddid but generally placed after Shah Waliullah in historical order.

Historical records and Islamic sources do not mention a brother of Hazrat Ali named 'Bin Jash'. Hazrat Ali's known brothers include Aqeel and Ja'far. Aqeel was present during the Battle of Badr but was not taken prisoner. The prisoners taken at the Battle of Badr were mostly from the Quraysh tribe, but none of Hazrat Ali's brothers were recorded as prisoners. Therefore, the correct answer is 'NONE'.
