Quote:
{34:3} But those who disbelieve say, "The Hour will not come to us." Say, "Yes, by my Lord, it will surely come to you. [God is] the Knower of the unseen." Not absent from Him is an atom's weight within the heavens or within the earth or [what is] smaller than that or greater, except that it is in a clear register -

I suggest,
{34:3} And those who have disbelieved said, "The Hour will not come to us." Say, "Nay! By my Lord, it will surely come to you. [God is] the Knower of the Beyond." [Not a thing] the weight of a spec is sequestered from Him in the heavens or in the earth, nor smaller than that nor bigger, but is in a clear Book -

Quote:
{34:4} That He may reward those who believe and do righteous deeds. Those will have forgiveness and noble provision.

I suggest,
{34:4} That He may reward those who have believed and done the righteous [deeds]. Those - for them is forgiveness and noble provision.

Quote:
{34:5} But those who strive against Our verses [seeking] to cause failure - for them will be a painful punishment of foul nature.

I suggest,
{34:5} And those who try challenging Our signs - for them is a torment of painful scourge.
