{2:200} And when you have completed your rites, remember God like your [previous] remembrance of your fathers or with [much] greater remembrance. And among the people is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world," and he will have in the Hereafter no share.

I suggest,
{2:200} And when you have completed your rituals, remember God like your remembering your fathers or a more intense remembrance. And among the people is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world," and not for him in the Hereafter is any share.

Quote:
{2:201} But among them is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world [that which is] good and in the Hereafter [that which is] good and protect us from the punishment of the Fire."

As always, I'd replace "punishment" with "torment", as "punishment" better translates عقاب IMHO. I suggest,

{2:201} But among them is he who says, "Our Lord, give us in this world good and in the Hereafter good and protect us from the torment of the Fire."

Quote:
{2:202} Those will have a share of what they have earned, and God is swift in account.

I suggest,
{2:202} Those - for them is a share of what they have earned, and God is swift in account.

Quote:
{2:203} And remember God during [specific] numbered days. Then whoever hastens [his departure] in two days - there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays [until the third] - there is no sin upon him - for him who fears God. And fear God and know that unto Him you will be gathered.

I suggest,
{2:203} And remember God during [specific] numbered days. Then whoever hastens [his departure] in two days - there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays [until the third] - there is no sin upon him - for him who has watched out [for God]. And watch out for God and know that unto Him you are to be gathered.
