Pilgrims combine Maghrib and Isha prayers in Muzdalifah. Muzdalifah is a plain east of Mina and west of Arafat in Saudi Arabia. It is a significant location for pilgrims who are performing Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. As part of the Hajj rituals, pilgrims are required to spend a night at Muzdalifah after performing the standing (wuquf) at Arafat. In Muzdalifah, they combine Maghrib and Isha prayers by praying them together at the time of Isha, with a single Adhan and two separate Iqamahs. This is based on the practice of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), who combined these two prayers during his pilgrimage. The combination of these two prayers is an exception made for pilgrims during Hajj and is not a regular practice in daily prayers. In summary, pilgrims combine Maghrib and Isha prayers in Muzdalifah during the Hajj pilgrimage. This is based on the practice of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and is an exception made for pilgrims during Hajj.

Arafat is not required in Umrah. Umrah is a pilgrimage to Makkah that can be performed at any time of the year, unlike Hajj which has specific dates. Umrah involves certain rituals such as Ihram (the state of sanctity), Tawaf (circling the Kaaba seven times), Sa'y (walking between the hills of Safa and Marwa seven times), and shaving or trimming the hair. Arafat is a location outside Makkah that is only visited during Hajj, on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah. During Hajj, pilgrims spend the day at Arafat to perform a special prayer and make supplications to Allah. Therefore, Arafat is not required in Umrah.

The compilation of al-Quran was primarily due to the death of the memorizers. During the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the revelations were written down on various materials by different companions. However, the final and authoritative copy of the Quran was compiled during the caliphate of Abu Bakr, shortly after the death of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Many of the companions who had memorized the Quran had died during battles and wars, and there was a growing concern that the Quran might be lost if it was not compiled in a single volume. Therefore, under the leadership of Abu Bakr, a committee was formed to collect and compile the revelations into a single book, which is now known as the Quran. Thus, the death of the memorizers is the main factor responsible for the compilation of the Quran.

A female Muslim should cover all her body except her palm and face. The requirement for modest dress for Muslim women is mentioned in the Qur'an and Hadith. While there are differences in interpretation among scholars, the majority agree that women should cover their entire body except for their face and hands. This is based on the principle of modesty and the importance of safeguarding one's physical appearance from the gaze of others. Some Muslim women also choose to cover their face with a veil or niqab as an additional expression of their faith and commitment to modesty.

Bilal bin Rabah was the first person to accept Islam amongst the slaves. Bilal was an Abyssinian slave who was brought to Mecca and was owned by Umayyah bin Khalaf. When Prophet Muhammad started preaching Islam in Mecca, Bilal was one of the first people to accept the message of monotheism and became a Muslim. However, his conversion to Islam led to severe torture and persecution from his master, who tried to force him to abandon his new faith. Despite the torture and punishment, Bilal remained steadfast in his faith and refused to renounce Islam. His unwavering faith and loyalty to Islam became a source of inspiration for many early Muslims and his story remains a testament to the perseverance and strength of faith.

Tayammum and wudu are two methods of purification in Islam. Wudu is a ritual washing of the hands, face, and feet with water, while tayammum is a ritual purification using dust or sand in situations where water is not available or cannot be used. Both of these methods of purification are considered valid until something happens to invalidate them, such as the occurrence of certain bodily functions or the loss of consciousness. Of the options given, "availability of water" is not something that would invalidate tayammum or wudu, as both methods are specifically designed for situations where water is not available. "Passing stool" and "passing urine" are both bodily functions that would invalidate tayammum or wudu, as they are considered impurities that must be washed away with water. "Loss of sense" could also invalidate tayammum or wudu, as it would prevent an individual from being able to perform the required purification rituals correctly. Therefore, the correct answer is "availability of water".

Hadith No. 1 of al-Nawawi's collections teaches the importance of intention (niyyah) in Islam. The Hadith, narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), states that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, "Actions are judged by their intentions, and every person will be rewarded according to his intention. Thus, he whose migration was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration was to Allah and His Messenger; and he whose migration was for some worldly benefit or for a woman to marry, his migration was for that which he migrated." This Hadith highlights the significance of having sincere intentions when performing any action in Islam, including acts of worship, daily activities, and interactions with others. It stresses that the intention behind an action is as important as the action itself, and that the reward or punishment for an action depends on the intention behind it. Therefore, a Muslim should always strive to purify their intention and make it solely for the sake of Allah, seeking His pleasure and reward. In summary, Hadith No. 1 of al-Nawawi's collections emphasizes the importance of intention in Islam and encourages Muslims to strive for sincerity in all their actions.

Hadith No. 2 of al-Nawawi's collections does not include the lesson of al-Sa'ah. The Hadith, narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), states that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said, "Actions are judged by their intentions, so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration was to Allah and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated." The Hadith teaches the lesson of al-Ihsan, which means doing good or performing actions with excellence and sincerity for the sake of Allah. It also emphasizes the importance of intention in determining the reward or punishment of one's actions. Furthermore, it highlights the concept of al-Hijra (migration) and its significance in Islam, as well as the different motives behind people's actions. However, the Hadith does not mention the lesson of al-Sa'ah, which refers to the Day of Judgment or the Hour of Resurrection. Therefore, we can conclude that the lessons of Hadith No. 2 of al-Nawawi's collections include al-Ihsan, al-Imam, and al-Islam, but not al-Sa'ah.

Ghusl after the stoppage of menstrual blood is called "Ghusl al-Hayd." "Hayd" refers to menstrual blood. "Ghusl" is an Arabic word for full-body ritual washing, which is a requirement in Islamic hygiene. The purpose of Ghusl al-Hayd is to purify the body after menstruation. The other terms you mentioned, "Janabah," "Janazah," and "Mayyit," refer to different concepts in Islamic practice. "Janabah" refers to a state of ritual impurity that occurs after sexual intercourse or ejaculation. "Janazah" refers to a funeral prayer and the rituals that accompany it. "Mayyit" means "dead person." So, "Ghusl al-Hayd" is specifically related to the purification after menstrual blood, and not related to these other concepts.

The Surah in the Quran that specifically encourages the acquisition of knowledge is Surat Al-'Alaq. It is the 96th chapter in the Quran and is also known as "The Clot" or "The Clinging Clot." This Surah emphasizes the importance of seeking knowledge and education, as the first verse revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was "Read! In the name of your Lord who created." Thus, Muslims believe that seeking knowledge is an important part of their faith, and Surat Al-'Alaq serves as a reminder of this principle. The other Surahs listed in the question do not specifically address the issue of seeking knowledge.
