Quote:
{27:59} Say, [O Muhammad], "Praise be to God, and peace upon His servants whom He has chosen. Is God better or what they associate with Him?"

I suggest,
{27:59} Say, "Praise is to God, and peace be upon His worshipers whom He has chosen. Is God better or what they associate with Him [in worship]?

Quote:
{27:60} [More precisely], is He [not best] who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you rain from the sky, causing to grow thereby gardens of joyful beauty which you could not [otherwise] have grown the trees thereof? Is there a deity with God? [No], but they are a people who ascribe equals [to Him].

I suggest,
{27:60} Or is [He] who created the heavens and the earth and sent down for you water from the sky, then We caused to grow thereby gardens of delight which you could not [otherwise] have grown the trees thereof [, is He better]? Is there a deity with God? Nay, they are a folk who swerve [from the truth].

Quote:
{27:61} Is He [not best] who made the earth a stable ground and placed within it rivers and made for it firmly set mountains and placed between the two seas a barrier? Is there a deity with God? [No], but most of them do not know.

I suggest,
{27:61} Or is [He] who made the earth a settlement, placed within it rivers, made for it anchors, and placed between the two bodies of water a barrier [, is He better]? Is there a deity with God? Nay, most of them do not know.
