Quote:
{41:30} Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is God" and then remained on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.

I suggest,
{41:30} Verily, those who have said, "Our Lord is God" then straightened up - the angels descend upon them, [saying], "Do not fear nor grieve but rejoice in [the news of] the Garden which you have been promised."

Quote:
{41:31} We [angels] were your allies in worldly life and [are so] in the Hereafter. And you will have therein whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you request [or wish]

I suggest,
{41:31} "We are your allies in [this] the nearest life and in the Hereafter. And for you therein is whatever your souls covet, and for you therein is whatever you claim,"

Quote:
{41:32} As accommodation from a [Lord who is] Forgiving and Merciful."

I suggest,
{41:32} "An accommodation from [One who is] Oft-Forgiving and Merciful."

Quote:
{41:33} And who is better in speech than one who invites to God and does righteousness and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."

I suggest,
{41:33} And who is better in speech than one who invites to God, does a righteous [deed] and says, "Indeed, I am of the Muslims."

Quote:
{41:34} And not equal are the good deed and the bad. Repel [evil] by that [deed] which is better; and thereupon the one whom between you and him is enmity [will become] as though he was a devoted friend.

I suggest,
{41:34} And the good [deed] and the bad do not equate. Repel [evil] by that which is better; thereupon, the one between you and whom is enmity [will become] as though he is a warm ally.

Quote:
{41:35} But none is granted it except those who are patient, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].

I suggest,
{41:35} But none is granted it except those who have endured, and none is granted it except one having a great portion [of good].

Quote:
{41:36} And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in God. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.

I suggest,
{41:36} And should stir you from Satan a prompt, then seek refuge in God. Verily, He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
