Q: If someone got a problem and instead of making dua to Allah he tries other ways to come out of it. Is this low iman or kufr. (He is not making dua because he thinks that maybe Allah will not fulfill his duaa.) E.g. A financial problem came to him. He starts asking people for money. He doesn't make dua for the same reason above. Is it kufr or low iman?
Q: If someone commits kufr unknowingly or forgetfully or unintentionally, does he require to say shahadah again? If yes, then how it is that if someone committed kufr unintentionally and still he got out of Islam and became kafir? How can he be guilty of kufr while he had no intention doing it?
Q: I purchased two sets of books published by Dar-us-Salam publications, Riyad-us-Saliheen (English translation w/commentary) and Tafsir Ibn Kathir (English translation). After purchasing these I realized that Dar-us-Salam books have Salafi influence and I found some contradicting statements in one of the books. I have since stopped reading them all. What should be done with these books that preserves the honor and respect of the Quranic Ayaat and Ahadith contained within them?

Q: I'd like to enquire about the permissibility of the following
1. Drawing Arabic calligraphy for hanging on one's wall as remembrance of Allah Ta'ala
2. Drawing Arabic calligraphy as a means of remembrance of Allah Ta'ala for others, through which one may derive an income from its sale.
The Arabic calligraphy is legible to one who can recite basic Arabic, and does NOT form animate pictures, nor does it have animate objects in it. Examples are, names of Allah Ta'ala, Quraanic ayaat, zikr (SubhanAllah, Alhamdulilah, etc.). If permissible, then please advise if there are any further details that I should be precautious about.
