Playing a game that has shirk in it

Q: Is the one who is playing the following game committing shirk even if he is not pleased with the shirk part of the game and is not doing anything to intentionally make the character in the game to do shirk:

You are playing as a character who sometime says ‘Jesus’ or ‘for christ sake’, but you are not making him directly say it (he says it because of some other actions you did in the game). Also that character respawns after being killed.

Is there a difference if the volume is turned off but the character is still moving his mouth?

Doing things with ikhlaas (sincerity)

Q:

1. Does pleasure of our Prophet (SallAllahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam), the pleasure of The Prophets ('Alayhim-us-Salaam), the pleasure of the Angels ('Alayhim-us-Salaam), and the pleasure of The Sahabaah (RaziyAllahu 'Anhum) count as part of Ikhlaas?

2. If someone does dhikr in a majlis together with other people so that Allah (SubhanaHu Wa Ta'alaa) can mention them in His majlis of Angels ('Alayhim-is-Salaam), does this ruin their Ikhlaas?

3. If a person starts Namaz with a weak but conscious intention that it is for Allah (SubhanaHu Wa Ta'alaa) but their heart feels weak towards praise and is affected by criticism if someone criticises their Namaz, does this mean he had not complete Ikhlaas? How can the heart be unaffected by praise and criticism?

Woman working as a nurse

Q: I am a Muslim woman who is training to be a nurse. I was wondering if it is halaal to work as a nurse. I will have to work and have contact with male patients. The work clothes are also not completely covering, so men can see my arms.

Is the money I get as a nurse halaal? Should I continue studying as a nurse or switch to another career?

Method of embracing Islam

Q: If someone wants to revert to Islam, how do they take the shahadah? Kindly tell me those words (the shahdah) which one has to utter.

As far I know, it is like is, La ila ha illalahu mohammadur rasululah.

Are these words sufficient for the shahadah to again become a Muslim because it is basically called the first kalimah in Islam. Are there are some other words fro shahadah (for a person to again enter in Islam)?

Studying iridology

Q: I would like to enquire if it is permissible to study a diploma in Iridology. It's got to do with diagnosing conditions by looking into a persons eye to detect nutrional deficiencies and conditions etc. Please advise if Iridology is permisible within shariah especially when it comes to our Aqaaid.
