{9:71} The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give zakah and obey God and His Messenger. Those - God will have mercy upon them. Indeed, God is Exalted in Might and Wise.

I suggest,
{9:71} And the believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is recognized [as right] and forbid what is frowned upon [as wrong], establish prayer, give alms and obey God and His Messenger. Those - God will have mercy upon them. Indeed, God is Exalted in Might and very Wise.

Quote:
{9:72} God has promised the believing men and believing women gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence; but approval from God is greater. It is that which is the great attainment.

I suggest,
{9:72} God has promised believing men and believing women gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding eternally therein, and pleasant dwellings in gardens of Eden (perpetual bliss); but approval from God is greater. It is that which is the great attainment.
