Q: I have read in the Quraan that good women are for good men.
My question is that in the past I used to stare at girls in college. I also talked to them but did not have any haram relationship with them. I proposed to a girl but she didn't accepted, we didn't commit zina. Now I feel guilty over my past acts and I have made taubah two years ago. I have not repeated those acts. Will I be forgiven or will I be considered impure and a bad guy. Does that mean I will get a bad wife if I m not forgiven. If I am forgiven, will I get a good wife?
Q: Is it true that basmala was divinely revealed by Allah Ta'ala to Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) (except in surah naml where it is a verse) and whoever doubts that it might not have been revealed by Allah Ta'ala is a kaafir? I am not talking about the bismillahir rahmanir raheem being a Quraanic verse or part of Quraan, but were those words divinely revealed by Allah Ta'ala and is there tawatur on that?

Q: I have a few questions based on the scientific theory of the Big Bang. I have heard some people using the following 2 aayaat to prove the scientific theory of the Big Bang
(١) أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ ۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ.
(٢) ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَهِيَ دُخَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهَا وَلِلْأَرْضِ ائْتِيَا طَوْعًا أَوْ كَرْهًا قَالَتَا أَتَيْنَا طَائِعِينَ.
Based on this I have the following questions
1. What is the Islaamic perspective with regards to the manner the earth was created ?
2. Is there any way to prove the Big Bang theory using the aforementioned aayaat?
3. If a person openly proves and advocates the Big Bang theory using the aforementioned aayaat, but believes that Allah Ta'ala was the being who caused the Big Bang. What is the state of the imaan of such a person?
4. If a person believes that the Big Bang really occurred and that it was purely a matter of nature's occurrence and not at all the doing of Allah Ta'ala, then what is the state of the imaan of such a person?
Q: Can you please comment on the following Hadith as we can know to a certain percentage when it will rain and we can know what is in the womb, even the gender of the child. Also, can't some part of the future be known by astrology and palmistry, etc. Although, I know it is totally haraam.
Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle ﷺ said, "Keys of the unseen knowledge are five which nobody knows but Allah:
* nobody knows what will happen tomorrow;
* nobody knows what is in the womb;
* nobody knows what he will gain tomorrow;
* nobody knows at what place he will die;
* and nobody knows when it will rain."
