Qur'an

Bismillah being divinely revealed

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?

Reading the Yusuf Ali translation of the Quraan

Q: I would like to ask a question regarding the Yusuf Ali translation of the Quraan. I heard in a lecture that Yusuf Ali was unable to speak the Arabic language as well as the fact that they say his version is incorrect.

I also read the same facts online. Can I continue reading this version as I have always done so. Or could you advise me on what is the best translation of the Holy Quraan I could find.
