Quote:
{28:85} Indeed, [O Muhammad], He who imposed upon you the Quran will take you back to a place of return. Say, "My Lord is most knowing of who brings guidance and who is in clear error."

I suggest,
{28:85} Verily, He who ordained upon you [, O Muhammad,] the Quran, is surely bringing you back to a place of return. Say, "My Lord is most Knowing of who comes with guidance and who is in manifest loss."

Quote:
{28:86} And you were not expecting that the Book would be conveyed to you, but [it is] a mercy from your Lord. So do not be an assistant to the disbelievers.

I suggest,
{28:86} And you have not been aspiring that the Book be thrusted to you, but [it is] a mercy from your Lord. So, do not be a backer for the disbelievers.

Quote:
{28:87} And never let them avert you from the verses of God after they have been revealed to you. And invite [people] to your Lord. And never be of those who associate others with God.

I suggest,
{28:87} And never let them shun you from the verses of God after they have been sent down to you. And invite [people] to your Lord. And never be of those who associate [others with God in worship].

Quote:
{28:88} And do not invoke with God another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face. His is the judgement, and to Him you will be returned.

I suggest,
{28:88} And do not invoke with God another deity. There is no deity but He. Everything is demising but His Face. His is the judgment, and to Him you [all] will be returned.
