When did 1/4 (a quarter ) of humans were killed?
It was the time when Qabeel killed Habeel AS, at that time only four persons Prophet Adam(Adam), Hazrat Hawah (Eve), Habeel(Abel) and Qabeel(Cain) were present. When one them got killed, it means one fourth/quarter of humanity died.

Imam AS replied: Age of a person

Fifth Question:
What was the statement that was true but ALLAH(S.W.T) said it is false?
It was the first verse of Surat Al-Muafaqoon. where ALLAH says "o Dear Prophet (PBUH), they say that you are the Prophet of God but actually, they don't believe it"

Sixth Question:
Whom were twins, that were born on one same day, died on the same day but one was elder than others?
Imam AS replied: The twins were Prophet Aziz(PBUH) and Hazrat Uzaira. They born on the same day but at the age of 50, Prophet Aziz(PBUH) once asked ALLAH (S.W.T) that how people will become alive after death. Then God made him sleep for 100 years. Meanwhile, his brother's age increased gradually. When his brother became 100 years old, then God again rose Prophet Aziz(PBUH) and he was only 50 then. Because of such an incident, they had a difference in their ages, but they lived for 50 more years together and died on the same date with the age of 150 and is 100.

Imam AS replied: Early morning before sunrise

(continued with the previous question)on that part of the day what thing happens to the human body?
Imam AS replied: if a person is ill then his body feels better ad the patient becomes comfortable at that time.

Ninth Question:
In heaven, we will eat so much but how will we secrete out?
Imam AS replied: It is just like a child in the womb of mother. The process that works inside the womb of the mother, the same will work in heaven.

Tenth Question:
How does food will not come to end in heaven?
Imam AS replied: It is just like lighting the candle from the other candle. Likewise, the food of heaven never ends.
