The 2nd looks to be same as the first.
The 3rd is
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces27069.html
and the exact year would be 1907
EDIt:
possibly this
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces21776.html
year 1897

Next one looks to be
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15521.html
year 1906

skip one and you have https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22661.html
looks like year 1902

Lastly depending on its size, but it looks like
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces23994.html
and year is 1910

Thank you so much!

My coins are in bad condition which is making it much harder for me to figure out what they are. I figured some people here would know just at a glance.

To give a little more insight into identifying these.
Arabic coins have a year on them in use this to figure out the year.

A-Little-Identification-Help-Please.-Ottoman-Empire?

The same year is used on all of the coins from that ruler with another number somewhere on the coin to tell you which year of that ruler. Take the 4th one for example:
the year is 1293 and the number is 32. (found on the other side).

Adding on to what BigSilver said...

The first one looks like its regnal year is 30, which would make its date 1837. I cannot read the year on the second one though.

To determine the exact denomination of the third one, a diameter would be needed. It could be either 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 qirsh. Its denomination was written on the right-side picture, but it is way to worn to read now.

The fifth could be easier to identify with a diameter and weight (if possible).

Due to the position of the dots above the 3 on the date of the last coin, I am thinking it is a 2 kurus, rather than a 1 kurus. A diameter would help determine which one though.

sadly I don't yet have a away to weigh or measure them. #3 is a little larger than a US Quarter. #5 is almost exactly the same size as a US dime. If this helps...

I have tried searching for the fifth coin, but I cannot find it. Hopefully someone else will be able to identify that one. As for the third one: at that size, it would be a 5 qirsh coin.
