2. He strictly maintained this rigorous daily schedule only during the holy month of Ramadan.
3. The early morning routine highlights his deep discipline and unwavering spiritual commitment.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Jainulabdeen started his day at 4 a.m. with namaz, showcasing immense discipline.Structural Breakdown: The routine establishes two primary traits: punctuality (4 a.m., before dawn) and devotion (reading the namaz). Historical/Related Context: In Islamic tradition, the Fajr (dawn) prayer is highly significant, symbolizing the triumph of spiritual duty over physical comfort (sleep). Kalam uses this to illustrate his fathers austere and pious nature.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 2 is incorrect because Kalam specifically notes that this routine was a daily practice maintained throughout his fathers life, not limited to Ramadan or specific holy periods.
