{24:36} [Such niches are] in mosques which God has ordered to be raised and that His name be mentioned therein; exalting Him within them in the morning and the evenings

I suggest,
{24:36} In homes which God permitted to be erected and His Name be mentioned therein; sanctifying for Him therein by morning and evenings

Quote:
{24:37} [Are] men whom neither commerce nor sale distracts from the remembrance of God and performance of prayer and giving of zakah. They fear a Day in which the hearts and eyes will [fearfully] turn about -

I suggest,
{24:37} [Are] men whom neither trade nor sale distracts from the remembrance of God, establishing the prayer and giving alms. They fear a Day in which will turn over the hearts and the eyes -

Quote:
{24:38} That God may reward them [according to] the best of what they did and increase them from His bounty. And God gives provision to whom He wills without account.

"Increase them" implies that the verb يزيدهم means increase their number. It is a valid interpretation, but another valid one is to give them more, which fits the context more. So, I suggest,
{24:38} That God may recompense them [according to] the best of what they did, and give them more from His bounty. And God provides whomever He wills without account.
