The Battle of the Camel was fought near Basra in present-day Iraq. It was named after the camel that Aisha rode during the battle, which took place in 656 CE.

The pillar of Islam that requires both physical and financial sacrifices is Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca. It involves a physical journey and participation in various rituals, which require physical effort. Additionally, it requires financial means to undertake the pilgrimage. While Zakat involves financial sacrifice, it does not require physical sacrifice. Therefore, Hajj is the correct answer.

The Kitab al-Umm is a foundational work of Islamic jurisprudence authored by Imam ash-Shafi'i, the founder of the Shafi'i school of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence. It is not authored by Imam Abu Hanifa. Therefore, the correct answer is Imam Shafi (option B).

On 1st Shawwal, 8 AH, the Islamic army led by Prophet Muhammad approached the valley of Hunain with a force of approximately 10,000 soldiers, as recorded in historical Islamic sources. Therefore, option A is correct.

Imam Abu Hanifa (R.A) died in 767 CE (150 AH) during the reign of the Abbasid Caliph Al-Mansur, who ruled from 754 to 775 CE. Harun al-Rashid ruled later, from 786 to 809 CE, so it is historically inaccurate to associate Abu Hanifa's death with Harun al-Rashid's reign. Therefore, the correct answer is Al-Mansur (C).

Khalid bin Waleed was removed from military command during the caliphate of Hazrat Umar Farooq (RA) in 15 A.H. This is a well-documented historical fact in Islamic history.

After the Battle of Yarmouk, Caliph Umar (RA) removed Khalid bin Waleed from supreme command and appointed Saad bin Abi Waqas (RA) as the new commander. This is historically documented in Islamic sources.

Hazrat Khawaja Abdullah Ansari R.A is the author of 'Kashf al-Israr wa ‘Eddat al-Abrar', a famous Islamic book. The other options are works by different scholars.

The Battle of Zalaca (also known as the Battle of Sagrajas) was fought in 1086 between Alfonso VI of Castile and the Almoravid leader Yusuf ibn Tashfin (also spelled Yousaf bin Tashfeen). However, the correct opponent is Yusuf ibn Tashfin, not Hajib Almansur. Therefore, option B is correct, but option A is incorrect. Since option B corresponds to Yusuf ibn Tashfin, the correct answer is B.

The compilation of the Holy Quran during the reign of Hazrat Abu Bakr RA was undertaken by Hazrat Zaid RA approximately between 11-15 A.H. This period corresponds to the years following the Battle of Yamama when many Quran memorizers were martyred, prompting the collection of the Quran in written form.
