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 punishment for stealing is cutting of the hand. In Islamic law, theft is considered to be a serious crime and is punishable by cutting off the thief's hand. This punishment is mentioned in the Qur'an (5:38) as a means of deterring theft and promoting justice. The cutting of the hand is only applicable in cases of theft where the value of the stolen property exceeds a certain amount, as determined by Islamic law. The punishment is meant to serve as a deterrent and to demonstrate the seriousness of the crime, but it is also intended to provide a way for the thief to repent and seek forgiveness from God. The punishment for theft is meant to be applied in a just and fair manner, taking into account the circumstances of the crime and the individual circumstances of the thief.

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.

Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) was 40 years old when she married the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Khadijah was a wealthy and successful businesswoman who hired the young Muhammad (SAW) to work for her. Impressed by his honesty and character, she proposed marriage to him despite their age difference. The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) accepted the proposal, and they had a happy and loving marriage that lasted for 25 years until Khadijah's passing. Therefore, we can conclude that Khadijah was 40 years old when she married the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

Suratul Asr consists of three verses. Suratul Asr is the 103rd chapter of the Qur'an, and it is one of the shortest chapters in the entire scripture. It contains a powerful message about the value of time and the importance of righteous deeds. The three verses of Suratul Asr are as follows: "By time, indeed, mankind is in loss, except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience." [Qur'an 103:1-3] The chapter emphasizes the importance of using time wisely to engage in good deeds and encouraging others to do the same, as that is the path to salvation.

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.

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.

Hadith refers to the sayings, actions, and silent approvals of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Hadith is an important source of Islamic jurisprudence and provides guidance to Muslims on various aspects of life, including worship, ethics, and social conduct. The authenticity and reliability of hadith are established through a rigorous process of verification and grading, with the most reliable and authentic hadith being classified as sahih (sound).

The prayer that has a complete silent recitation is Zuhr. In Zuhr prayer, the first two Rak'ahs (units of prayer) are performed with audible recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah from the Quran, while the last two Rak'ahs are performed with a complete silent recitation. During the silent recitation, the recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha and another Surah are recited softly, in a way that only the person praying can hear themselves. This is in contrast to the audible recitation of the first two Rak'ahs, where the recitation is performed in a louder voice. The reason for the complete silent recitation in the last two Rak'ahs of Zuhr prayer is to emphasize the importance of being mindful and focused in prayer, even in a silent state. This is a reminder to the person praying that the prayer is a conversation between them and Allah, and they should strive to maintain concentration and devotion throughout the prayer.

Hadith refers to the sayings, actions, and approvals of the Prophet Muhammad, which were recorded by his companions and later compiled into books. These Hadith provide guidance and interpretation of the Quran, and are used as a secondary source for Islamic law, ethics, and morality.

The phrase "Alam yaj'al khaydahum fi tadil" is part of a verse in the Quran and is translated to "Did He not make their treacherous plans go astray." This verse is found in Surah Al-Fil, which describes the story of the people of the elephant who came to destroy the Kaaba in Mecca. The verse refers to how Allah (SWT) frustrated the plans of the people of the elephant by sending flocks of birds to pelt them with stones and kill them. The verse is a reminder that Allah (SWT) has power over all things and can thwart the plans of those who seek to do harm.

The fasting of Tasu'a and Ashura are observed in the month of Muharram. Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar and is considered one of the four sacred months. The tenth day of Muharram is known as the Day of Ashura, which is a significant day for Muslims. Tasu'a is the ninth day of Muharram, which is a day of mourning for some Muslims in commemoration of the death of Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Imam Hussein. Some Muslims observe a voluntary fast on this day as a sign of respect and mourning. Ashura is the tenth day of Muharram, which is a more significant day of remembrance for Muslims. It is the day on which Prophet Moses fasted in gratitude to God for saving the Israelites from the Pharaoh, and it is also the day on which Imam Hussein and his companions were martyred. Some Muslims fast on this day as a sign of gratitude and remembrance. In summary, the fasting of Tasu'a and Ashura are observed in the month of Muharram, which is the first month of the Islamic calendar and is a significant month for Muslims.

A person who joins the Imam before rising from the ruku' has gotten that raka'ah. In congregational prayer, if a person joins the Imam while he is in the ruku' (bowing position), then he should say the takbir and perform the ruku' with the Imam. After that, he should say "Sami'allahu liman hamidah" and stand up to join the Imam in the next raka'ah. In this case, the person has joined the prayer with the Imam before rising from the ruku' and he has gotten that raka'ah. However, if the person joins the Imam after the Imam has risen from the ruku', then he has missed that raka'ah and needs to complete it after the Imam has finished the prayer. The person should not join the Imam at all if the Imam has already said the taslim (salam) to end the prayer. And there is no such thing as Sujudul Badi in Islamic prayer.
