1- how do I regain my faith and just become a better Muslim overall?
2- what books (excluding the Qur'aan) would you recommend for a Muslim to read regardless of the situation?

Q: Is this story true....One day Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was going somewhere at noon and it was too hot in the desert when He (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) saw an old woman carrying her luggage on her head.

Q: I made an oath to fast for a month but stipulated in the oath that if I felt unwell, I could break it. So, about a week in I had some discomfort in my chest, and felt that I should stop, so I did. (I did not break a fast). Does this mean there's no expiation? Because I gave myself some leeway in the oath I made.
Also, is it permitted to pay a charity to fulfill the kafaarat yameen on your behalf? If you make the expiation you are forgiven for breaking the oath by Allah azza wa jal?

Q: Someone I know asked me a question regarding Islam, and I didn't have a substantial answer to give due to lack of knowledge. And frankly, I myself am in a delimma regarding it.
In surah al Baqarah 2:30 Allah Ta'ala told the angels that He is going to create a new being who will act as his khalifa on earth. This was prior to creation of Adam (alaihis salaam). As I understand, Adam (alaihis salaam) was predestined to be sent to earth even before he was created. However after his creation, he had to eat from the tree to be expelled from earth.
From my feeble understanding, Adam (alaihis salaam) didn't have any choice because Allah Ta'ala created Adam (alaihis salaam) with the specific purpose of functioning as His khalifa on earth.
So was Allah Ta'ala going to send Adam (alaihis salaam) to the earth regardless of his disobedience? Doesn't this also mean that Adam (alaihis salaam) predestined to disobey Allah Ta'ala?
