The answer to your question is as follows:
While doing tawaf it is Makrooh (disliked) looking at Kaba. One should look to his front only.
During tawaf one has to act like he is in namaz; as he is recommended to look at the place of sajda during namaz.

The answer to your question is as follows:
You did not specify which serials make people convert to Islam. However, in this regard, it should be kept in mind that only the goal and the result should not be good, but also the steps to achieve this goal should be good and in accordance with Shariah. Serials usually contain a lot of obscene and prohibited materials. So watching such serials should be avoided according to shari'ah.

The answer to your question is as follows:
During the state of Ihram, one is not allowed to use fragrance or items that contain fragrance. Generally, make-up items contain fragrance, though in slightest amount. So, one should avoid such make-up items. However, if the make-up items do not contain any fragrance and do not smell as perfume, then it can be used and there is no harm using it during Ihram.
عن أم سلمۃ رضي اللّٰہ عنہا قالت: قال رسول اللّٰہ صلی اللّٰہ علیہ وسلم: لا تطیبي وأنت محرمۃ ولا تمسي الحناء فإنہ طیب۔ (المعجم الکبیر للطبراني ۲۳؍۴۱۸ رقم: ۱۰۱۲، معرفۃ السنن والآثار ۴؍۲۶ رقم: ۲۸۶۱، نصب الرایۃ، الحج / باب الجنایات ۳؍۱۲۴)
والإسلام قد حرم علی المرأۃ أن تکشف شیئاً من عورتہا أمام الأجانب خشیۃ الفتنۃ۔ (روائع البیان ۲؍۱۶۲، بحوالہ: فتاویٰ محمودیہ ۲۸؍۹۵ میرٹھ)
ثم اعلم أن المحرم رجلاً کان أو امرأۃ ممنوع عن استعمال الطیب، فإن طیب محرم بالغ عضواً کاملاً فعلیہ دم، فإن طیب أقل من عضو تجب الصدقۃ ہو الصحیح۔ (البحر العمیق ۲؍۸۲۸)
والمحرم رجلاً کان أو امرأۃ ممنوع من استعمال الطیب، فإذا طیب عضواً کاملاً فعلیہ دم، وفي أقلہ صدقۃ أي في الصحیح۔ (مناسک ملا علی القاري ۳۱۲)

The answer to your question is as follows:
Niyyat refers to intention of one's heart. The intention does not need to be uttered verbally. If a person utters something by mistake that goes against what he intended, then the intention is counted not his wordings. Therefore, if you were determined (by heart) to pray isha namaz and uttered ‘Magrib’ instead of ‘Isha’, mistakenly due to slip of your tongue, then your namaz would be regarded valid. You needed not to do Tahrima again. Nevertheless, if you uttered extra ‘Allahu Akbar’ after Tahrima it didn’t invalidate your namaz yet. So don’t worry regarding the validity of your namaz in this case.

إنَّمَا قَصَرَ الْأَجْزَاءَ عَلَى سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ ; لِأَنَّ زَمَانَ الْوَحْيِ كَانَ ثَلَاثًا وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً. وَكَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا بُدِئَ بِهِ مِنَ الْوَحْيِ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ، وَذَلِكَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ مِنْ سِنِيِّ الْوَحْيِ، وَنِسْبَةُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى سَائِرِهَا نِسْبَةُ جُزْءٍ إِلَى سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا.
