Quote:
{30:54} God is the one who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is the Knowing, the Competent.

I suggest,
{30:54} God is [the One] who created you from weakness, then made after weakness strength, then made after strength weakness and white hair. He creates what He wills, and He is the much Knowledgeable, the Powerful.

Quote:
{30:55} And the Day the Hour appears the criminals will swear they had remained but an hour. Thus they were deluded.

I suggest,
{30:55} And the Day the Hour sets up, the criminals [will] swear they had remained but an hour. Thus they have been deluded.

Quote:
{30:56} But those who were given knowledge and faith will say, "You remained the extent of God's decree until the Day of Resurrection, and this is the Day of Resurrection, but you did not used to know."

I suggest,
{30:56} But those who were given knowledge and faith will say, "You remained, in the Book of God (His decree), until the Day of Send-off (Resurrection), and this is the Day of Send-Off, but you used not to know."

Quote:
{30:57} So that Day, their excuse will not benefit those who wronged, nor will they be asked to appease [God].

I suggest,
{30:57} So that Day, their excuse does not benefit those who wronged, nor are they be asked to make amends.
