Quote:
{45:23} Have you seen he who has taken as his god his [own] desire, and God has sent him astray due to knowledge and has set a seal upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a veil? So who will guide him after God? Then will you not be reminded?

I suggest,
{45:23} Have you then seen whom has taken as his god his [own] fancy, and God let him stray knowing [him], and has sealed upon his hearing and his heart and put over his vision a cover? So, who guides him after God? Will you then not remember?

Quote:
{45:24} And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming.

I suggest,
{45:24} And they say, "It is but [this] our nearest life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are but assuming.

Quote:
{45:25} And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, "Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

I suggest,
{45:25} And when are recited to them Our verses as clear evidences, their argument has only been that they say, "Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful."

Quote:
{45:26} Say, "God causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know."

I suggest,
{45:26} Say, "God vitalizes you, then deadens you; then assembles you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know."
