Quote:
{39:49} And when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We bestow on him a favor from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know.

I suggest,
{39:49} So, when adversity touches man, he calls upon Us; then when We avail him a bounty from Us, he says, "I have only been given it because of [my] knowledge." Rather, it is a trial, but most of them do not know.

Quote:
{39:50} Those before them had already said it, but they were not availed by what they used to earn.

I suggest,
{39:50} Those before them had already said it, but what they used to earn did no help them out.

Quote:
{39:51} And the evil consequences of what they earned struck them. And those who have wronged of these [people] will be afflicted by the evil consequences of what they earned; and they will not cause failure.

I suggest,
{39:51} And the evil [consequences] of what they earned struck them. And those who have wronged of these (Meccan polytheists) - the evil [consequences] of what they earned will strike them; and they are no challengers.

Quote:
{39:52} Do they not know that God extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]? Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

I suggest,
{39:52} Did they not know that God extends provision for whom He wills and gauges [it]? Verily, in that are signs for a folk who believe.
