If I come into contact with a deceased person's body, does everything I touch with unwashed hands and any sweat on them become impure?

if you touch the unwashed dead body with the wet hand then your hand becomes Najis so if you touch another thing with that hand while it is wet that thing will become najis too.
But touching the dead body with dry hand doesn't make your hand najis and the only duty is to perform Mayyit touching Ghusl.

Grave . Garden . Paradise . Believers . Body . Hadith . Burial . Mayyit

The narrations speak of the grave as a garden of paradise for the believers and that it is extended and expanded for them. It is the same material grave in which we bury the dead body?

It is the same grave which the dead believer buried in. He feels and enjoys the paradise bounties even if his physical body turns to soil but he remains in his soul and spirit feels the happiness.

Soul . Body . Mayyit . Burial

Is the Talqeen recited for the deceased's soul or their physical body? Upon death, does our soul return to inhabit our material body and answer questions?

Talqeen is reminding the Muslim deceased about the faith fundamental matters. Talqeen is addressing both the soul and body.

'Upon death, human beings remain able to hear and think. The Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) addressed after Badr battle, the dead bodies of the non believers and said when he was asked that they are more able to hear than you.

'After death, we will be able to respond to the questions of the angles.

Soul . Body

How can one balance between wellbeing of the soul and the body, because at times I focus on one and at times on the other?

Rebecca Masterton, Dr Rebecca Masterton graduated with a BA in Japanese Language and Literature; an MA in Comparative East Asian and African Literature and a PhD in Islamic literature of West Africa. She has been... Answered 2 years ago

Islam generally teaches that something small done consistently is better than doing too much and then stopping. Body and soul are not actually totally separate. They are integrated. Keeping healthy and physically fit is vital for the well being of the soul. Nowadays many doctors are saying that some forms of depression can be caused by an unhealthy gut; conversely emotional stress can affect digestion and therefore overall body health. Try to establish a pattern, or a good habit, when you do dhikr or other matters directly related to the soul - a time of day where you are least likely to be disturbed, or tired, or your mind overloaded. Even just contemplating the creation when you are out walking in the road can nurture the soul.

Body . Martyrdom

Is it true that the body of a martyr does not rot? Are there any examples in history to support it?

Yes it is fully true that the real martyr is alive with Allah and his body does not rot. There are hundreds of cases witnessed by people when graves of martyrs were accidentally broken and the body of the martyr was seen fresh after hundreds of years of his martyrdom. There cases have been mentioned in many books. Recently when the grave of Hijr ibn Uday who was killed by Mo'awiyah in Syria was broken, people saw his body fresh after about 1400 years of his martyrdom. This is one of many other real cases.

'A book was published recently mentioned over 500 real similar cases.

Najis . Body . Najasa (Impurity) . Clothing . Salah (Prayers)

I knew I was wearing something that was Najis but didn’t realize the impurity was transferring to my body when I washed myself in the bathroom. I changed my clothes when I prayed but did not realize my body was Najis while praying. Is my prayer valid?

Doubting whether the Najasat has transferred to your body or cloth or not, does not make your body or cloth Najis. You can consider everything as Tahir unless and until you know for sure that it is Najis.

'If you are sure that you performed a Prayer while your body or cloth were Najis, then you need to be Tahir and perform that Prayer again.

Wassalam.
