Purity doubts and issues

I suffer from waswas and when I was doing ghusl, I kept on struggling to remember if I did this 3x? or did I do this right? And I feel like when I was doing wudoo in my ghusl I don’t remember if I washed my nose 2x instead of 3 so after I did ghusl and dried and wore clothes I realised I might’ve done wudoo wrong, so is it permissible for me to perform wudoo again like I would for regular salah when I’m fully clothed or do I do ghusl again? Also I forgot if I gargled and washed my nose 3x so as soon as I got out of the bath I did that straight away 3x then I dried and wore clothes and performed wudoo again, is my ghusl correct?

Question about a Word in Quran
In my Quran there is written for the word Torah this word: تورية Is it wrong? Because there is a ya, but in the word Taurat there is no ya.

Does the Quran forbid hadith?
I ask this because there are some verses in the quran that perhaps allude to the rejection of hadith, such as: 45:6 "in which other hadith will they believe after God and his verses?" 6:38 "And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] com...
I ask this because there are some verses in the quran that perhaps allude to the rejection of hadith, such as:
45:6 "in which other hadith will they believe after God and his verses?"
6:38 "And there is no creature on [or within] the earth or bird that flies with its wings except [that they are] communities like you. We have not neglected in the Register a thing. Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.
7:52 "And We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe"
Some of these quotes specifically mention that the Quran is fully detailed, i think this reasonably suggests that the common usage of hadith which is to complement and add to the quran is thus unacceptable, however there are other verses in the Quran which seem to suggest the opposite, for example:
16:44 "with clear proofs and written ordinances. And We revealed to you the message that you may make clear to the people what was sent down to them and that they might give thought."
Here, god states Muhammad's purpose is to clarify the Quran, and I think this suggests that Hadith are necessary, because since Muhammad is dead and can no longer clarify the Quran, the hadith (his teachings) are the only way to benefit from Muhammad's teachings, and to affirm his position as a correct interpreter of the Quran and also the only one with the God given right to do this. I may be wrong, but i think it is important for there to be someone who holds a **correct** interpretation of the Quran, because the Quran can be interpreted in infinite many ways due to its apt use of metaphor.
Some clarification on both the verses and legitimacy of hadith is appreciated

What does this hadith mean.?
There is a hadith that says: "If a person commits shirk and dies in the state of that will go in hell". Does this mean if a person commits shirk but reads shahada and becomes a muslim again, but do not repent to the shirk sin, will he be forgiven?

> Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) ilaha (gods) besides Allah, then verily both would have been ruined(or in chaos). Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above all that (evil) they associate with Him!” Quran (Surah Al-Anbiya, 22)
My question is for the first ayat,why would they challenge the lord of the throne?Isn't harmony a Godly trait?So wouldn't they all be harmonious with one another?If they are all good-being Gods-,then they would seemingly will the exact same things,that is only good and perfect things,so surah al anbiya ayat 22 also seems hard to accept for me.
Am I right?If not,why not?
Why are these verses premises true beyond all doubt?Please explain why they are true?Humility seems like a Godly trait,so they wouldn't seek to overpower each other?

I have a small busness online, I sell handmade keychains, in that I sell animals and some cartoons, and they literally have eyes and mouth and nose, like every detail. But I read that it is haram to make them, so I stopped making them, because I don't want to earn gunnah.
Recently I have however been really in need of money, I work but it is not helping, so I had to restart my shop.
I want to ask if it is allowed for me to make eyes and mouth just because I am in need of money.

Can one sell or donate breast milk in Islam?

I have read
Sunni as well as Shia books for the reference and confused that how many daughters our prophet actually have?
If have four daughters as per Hadith then it raise following points.
1. Why did Holy Prophet PBUH took only one daughter in Mubahila event against christians while Allah ask in a plural way.
<code class="inline-code ">Come lets bring your sons and our sons, your females and our females.</code>
2. Why only one daughter is the leader of all females in heaven? Isn't it injustice with other daughters and Prophet can never do injustice.
3. Why only one daughter's children called Aulad e Rasool?

Support to minor children, wife and -if necessary - parents is obligatory, but support for others is facultative.
Zakât as support for persons in need can be given on a personal level (which is quite common in non-Muslim countries).
How are the rulings for giving to (more or less) far relatives of oneself or of the wife?
Side question: Are the rulings for a woman the same?
----------
Concrete example: I pay (stately) school fees for the children of sisters of my wife in Kenya and a cousin of myself in Somaliland. The parents cannot afford this. Should I count this as Zakât?

Is It Acceptable to Name Your Daughter Muhammad?
If I wished to name my daughter Muhammad in honour of the Prophet (pbuh), I know it would not be a haram thing to do, but would it be acceptable? Muhammad would be her first name/given name.

Otherwise this is inconsistent with the sex toy ruling is it not?

Accidentally asking for dua I don’t want in my mind
It’s been a few days now I’ve been wanting something from Allah but then I’m getting these thoughts that are exactly the opposite of what I want. Will the negative duas be accepted? I don’t want them to but I’m worrying.

Who is the prohibition addressed to?
Believers, or everyone? In other words, is it a requirement of faith where Muslims are themselves banned from the action, or whether they should also actively seek the picture not to be published by non-Muslims?
I am interested in two cases:
- generic representation (for instance the one that got López Prater fired recently, a 14th-century image that shows a winged and crowned Angel Gabriel pointing at the Prophet Muhammad and delivering to him the first Quranic revelation)
- caricature
Finally, I assume a country where blasphemy is not a felony (and the legal system is not base on Shariah)
