My built in apps have disappeared, how can a person reinstall Safari, Siri or App Store on an iphone 4S?

I have lost my built in apps and do not know how to reinstall them on my phone. The Safari and App Store icons are gone. I can no longer surf the net on my phone and the little "microphone" key has also disappeared when I send text messages etc. I now have to actually type the message instead of speaking into my phone. Siri has also vanished. Any advice?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3

After spending the entire evening trying to figure this out, restore my iphone, and restoring the backup I finally found it was an easy solution corrected by going to settings-general-restrictions and enabling the functions. I feel so angry for wasting a whole night and being so frustrated when it was so easy to fix if you knew what you were doing.
