The five pillars of deen and the faraaiz of other Islamic acts

Q: My question is that we believe that there are five Faraaiz in Islam (Kalimah, Namaaz, Roza, Zakaat and Hajj). Then how we categorize that there are different faraaiz in every Islamic aspect like Wudhu Faraaiz, Ghusal Faraaiz, Hajj Faraaiz, Namaaz Faraaiz etc. What is difference in five main faraaiz and then the faraaiz in different Islamic acts. So can we say that there are not total 5 faraaiz but a lot of faraaiz in Islam?

Definition of an animate object and using pictures with Quraanic aayat for one's status

Q: How does one classify an object as animate or inanimate? Is photography of animals permissible?

Secondly, is it permissible for me to use pictures of flowers/scenery, etc. as a background to create pictures with Quraanic Ayats/Islamic poetry to post on my status (with the intention of it being a means of guidance for myself as well as for whoever sees the status)?

Speaking to a non-mahram

Q: I have come across a sister who is Alhamdullilah very nice and has good knowledge about Islam and even practices a lot. She loves me a lot and I too love her for the sake of Allah. I met her 4 months ago. But now the problem I am having is that she talks too much and I get irritated.

Everyday she calls me and talks for 2 hours. Each and every day she calls. If I am busy and I can't receive the phone she will continously call 15 to 20 times. I am quite an introvert person and I dont like to talk much. She says that I have to be an extrovert to call people to Islam. I Have to be open and talk to people.

I love her but this is something that is really irritating me a lot. She usually talks about Islam and Hadith but sometimes too much talking also leads to gossip and useless talks. I am not able to understand how to get rid of this. Can you help me from any hadaith or Quran which I can relate to her.

Is it not wrong to talk so much whether its useless or about Deen. I can't explain how much its irritating me. Should I cut off with her? If I switch off my phone she calls my brother.
