About Khulafa-e-Rashideen and Companions MCQs
This topic follows the Rashidun Caliphate from the election of Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) to the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali (RA). Questions cover the real names, titles and family ties of the caliphs, the length of each caliphate, the dates of their deaths in Hijri years, and the wars against false claimants of prophethood such as the Battle of Yamama. You will also meet questions on the administrative reforms of Hazrat Umar (RA), including the police system, consultative bodies and the appointment of officials.
A second group of questions deals with the wider circle of Companions (RA): the first converts, the first martyr of Islam, the scribes, poets and commanders of the early community, and the titles the Holy Prophet (PBUH) gave them, such as Amin-ul-Ummat. Events of the period, including the Battle of the Camel and the command changes after Yarmouk, also appear.
