Quote:
{50:6} Have they not looked at the heaven above them - how We structured it and adorned it and [how] it has no rifts?

I'd use "sky" instead of "heaven."

Quote:
{50:7} And the earth - We spread it out and cast therein firmly set mountains and made grow therein [something] of every beautiful kind,

I suggest,
{50:7} And the earth - We stretched it out and anchored in it firm [mountains] and made to grow in it [some] of every delightful pair.

Quote:
{50:9} And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky and made grow thereby gardens and grain from the harvest

I suggest,
{50:9} And We have been sending down from the sky blessed water, causing to grow with it gardens and grains to harvest.

Quote:
{50:10} And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -

I suggest,
{50:10} And the palm trees, lofty, having fruit piled up.

Quote:
{50:11} As provision for the servants, and We have given life thereby to a dead land. Thus is the resurrection.

I suggest,
{50:11} As provision for the worshipers, and We resurrected with it a dead land. Thus is the Exodus.
