1). Which Surah starts without  Bismillah :  a) Al-Baqara  b) Al-Nisa  c) Al-Toba  d) Al-Ikhlas  NOTE; REASON 1:   When Hadrat Uthman رضى الله عنه was asked why there was no bismillah at the beginning of Surah al-Tawba like how there is bismillah at the beginning of other surahs, he replied that there was some doubt as to this surah being a separate surah, because Nabi صلى الله عليه و سلم passed away without explicitly mentioning anything regarding it. This is why Bismillah was not written at the beginning of Surah Taubah. However, since its subject-matter is similar to that of Surah Anfal, it was placed after it and a space for Bismillah has been kept because it is possible that this is a separate surah.

The district administration prevented further aggravation by efficiently handling the situation.
