Quote:
{38:48} And remember Ishmael, Elisha and Dhul-Kifl, and all are among the outstanding.

I suggest,
{38:48} And commemorate Ishmael, Elisha and Zhul-Kifl (Ezekiel), all of whom are among the best.

Quote:
{38:49} This is a reminder. And indeed, for the righteous is a good place of return

I suggest,
{38:49} This is a reminder and verily, for the watchful [of God] is indeed a good place of return.

Quote:
{38:50} Gardens of perpetual residence, whose doors will be opened to them.

I suggest,
{38:50} Gardens of Eden (perpetual bliss), whose doors will be opened for them.

Quote:
{38:52} And with them will be women limiting [their] glances and of equal age.

I suggest,
{38:51} And with them will be women restraining [their] glances, compatible.

Quote:
{38:53} This is what you, [the righteous], are promised for the Day of Account.

I'd just change "Account" to "Accounting."
