There are five Surahs in the Quran named after Prophets: Yunus, Hud, Yusuf, Ibrahim, and Muhammad. Therefore, the correct answer is 5.

The word 'Quran' is mentioned 65 times in the Quran. This is a well-documented fact in Islamic studies, making option D the correct answer.

Taraweeh prayers are considered Sunnah prayers in Islam, specifically Sunnah Mu'akkadah (emphasized Sunnah), and not obligatory (Farz) or wajib. Therefore, the correct classification is Sunnat.

Therefore, the correct answer is Al-Imran, as it contains the highest frequency of the word "Allah" among the given options.

The Battle of Uhud (Ghazwa e Uhud) was fought in the 3rd year after Hijra (3 AH), specifically in the month of Shawwal.

The Qur'an emphasizes alms or charity in various terms including zakat (obligatory alms), sadaqah (voluntary charity), and general spending in the way of Allah.

The Quran (Surah Yusuf 12:15-16) mentions that Prophet Yusuf (AS) was thrown into the well but does not specify the duration he remained there.

The option '3 days' aligns with the traditional understanding, while '7 days' is not supported by primary Islamic texts or mainstream tradition.

Therefore, the Battle of Muta is generally considered to have ended without a decisive result, matching option D.
