Quote:
{17:25} Your Lord is most knowing of what is within yourselves. If you should be righteous [in intention] - then indeed He is ever, to the often returning [to Him], Forgiving.

I don't see the need for the interjection "[in intention]."

Quote:
{17:26} And give the relative his right, and [also] the poor and the traveler, and do not spend wastefully.

I suggest,
{17:26} And give him of kin his right, and the poor and the man on the road, and do not lavish wastefully.

Quote:
{17:27} Indeed, the wasteful are brothers of the devils, and ever has Satan been to his Lord ungrateful.

Excellent translation.
