It appears that the questions posed are competition questions, and we do not usually answer them due to the abundance of important Shariah questions. However, we will make an exception and answer them, on condition that similar questions are not sent in the future. The names of Al-Fatiha are detailed in Fatwa no. 41802. The description of Al-Buraq is in Fatwa no. 40073. Ghulul (embezzlement) is taking from the spoils of war before their distribution, and it includes public funds. The verse was revealed concerning a red velvet cloak that went missing on the day of Badr. The verse of Mubahala was revealed concerning the Christians of Najran when they disputed with the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding Jesus (peace be upon him).
