Quote:
{29:53} And they urge you to hasten the punishment. And if not for [the decree of] a specified term, punishment would have reached them. But it will surely come to them suddenly while they perceive not.

I suggest,
{29:53} And they urge you to hurry the torment. And if not for [the decree of] a specified term, torment would have come to them. And it will surely come to them suddenly while they do not sense [it].

Quote:
{29:54} They urge you to hasten the punishment. And indeed, Hell will be encompassing of the disbelievers

I suggest,
{29:54} They urge you to hurry the torment; and verily, Hell surely is surrounding the disbelievers

Quote:
{29:55} On the Day the punishment will cover them from above them and from below their feet and it is said, "Taste [the result of] what you used to do."

I suggest,
{29:55} On the Day when covers them the torment from above them and from under their legs and it is said, "Taste what you used to do."
