Different levels of guidance

Q: Is it correct to say that guidance is actually from Allah Ta'ala alone, and that when the Prophets gave us guidance, they themselves did not guide us, but it is Allah Ta'ala who guided us? Also, is it mentioned in the Quran that Allah Ta'ala told the Holy Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam), "It is not you who guides them, it is Allah who guides"?

Respect for the Ambiyaa (alayhimus salaam)

Q: Nabi Aadam (alaihis salaam) was in heaven and becuase he disobeyed Allah he was thrown out of heaven. Now my question is that the father did a mistake and Allah is punishing the children who had nothing to do with the father's mistake. According to me Allah should have kept each and everyone in heaven first and tell them not to repeat the mistake which Aadam (alaihis salaam) did. If someone does the mistake then he should be thrown out.

Questioning Allah Ta'ala's decisions

Q: One of my Hindu friends asked how God decides if someone will be wealthy and others will be poor. Similarly, how will someone be born healthy and others disabled. etc. Is this decision randomly made by God or is there some logic behind it? I understand this life is a test but why do some people have relatively easy tests and others really hard tests?

Renewing one's Imaan

Q: I recently discovered that some of my past actions were kufr and I sent some messages containing shirk. I have sincerely repented and vowed never to do them again. I made a general taubah regarding all my past actions then recited kalimah.

1. I would like to ask if it is necessary to repent specifically for each action as all I have thought about since is remembering specific kalimat I said. Do I need to do tajdeed e iman again if I remember those past actions after making general taubah?

2. Also do I need to perform ghusl after tajdeed e iman?

3. Can tajdeed e iman be made whenn one is junub.

4. What about my prayers that I said while not realising my kufr?
