Kufr

Saying "Where is your Allah and only science can save the people from any disease?"

Q: I request clarification related to some words as to whether, Allah forgive, these are kufr. 

1. Saying in any gathering or discussion that " Nauzubillah some people / they (not specifically referred) are saying / believing that where is your Allah and that only science can save the people from any disease / corona virus etc; however our belief is that without almighty Allah nothing can save us". Does words expressed in start leads to kufr for one who quote these words in any discussion or gathering?

2. We sometimes feel that we are so much guilty and have done lots of sin and in fear we say words that " Don't know whether Allah will forgive me or not" though our belief is that Allah is most Merciful and Forgiving. Allah forgive, are these words kufr?

3. We sometimes feel that we have done lot of mistakes and wrong decisions in past though whatever happens is always in our betterment and already written in Taqdeer but we still feel lot of regret, sadness and hopeless and sometimes in that state of sadness and hopelessness someone says words like that" Its all due to his mistakes and wrong decisions related to job choice or other matters consequently he is regretting then then why should he say these mistakes / wrong decisions were due to Naseeb / from Allah". Allah forgive is saying these words Kufur? Nauzubillah intention was not to deny taqdeer.

I am very worried and confused and beg forgiveness and guidance from Almighty Allah. Can you please give some clarification in respects of above said words and other explanation related to kufr and Tajdeed Iman and Tajdeed Nikah?

Republic Day and Independence Day ceremonies

Q: I am from India. I work as a teacher in a government school. Maximum of my colleagues are Hindu. In the school, on Republic Day or Independence Day, the cultural ceremony is held by the order of government. On these days we are forced to show and respect many dead freedom fighters by putting a flower on their picture and statue. Is it shirk? Or what type of sin is this?

Will a person become a kaafir by jokingly saying "you can lie"

Q: I’d like to ask if the following constitutes kufr?

In the morning, I asked my brother that did you pray Fajr? He said yes. Then later in the morning he told me ‘ I only said yes to make you happy so you wouldn’t pester me’ Then I said ‘ you can’t lie (even for a joke)’ whereupon he said ‘why not?’

Did he commit kufr by saying jokingly ‘you can lie’? Then later he said he did actually pray Fajr but he ‘joked’ to me that he didn’t pray it.
