Hint:

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In her biography, Jahanara explicitly mentions that her pilgrimage occurred on "Thursday, the fourth of the blessed month of Ramzan." The Sufi tradition places special significance on Thursdays for pilgrimages, as it is considered a day of spiritual elevation and purity. Ramzan, the month of fasting, further elevates the spiritual value of the journey, underscoring Jahanara’s devotion.
