Quote:

{4:174} O mankind, there has come to you a conclusive proof from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a clear light.

I don't think that "conclusive" is needed. Proof is conclusive; it's evidence that needs collaboration before a conclusion can be made.

مبينا literally means "clarifying", so I'd use that instead of "clear."

I suggest,
{4:174} O mankind, there has certainly come to you a proof from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a clarifying light.

Quote:

{4:175} So those who believe in God and hold fast to Him - He will admit them to mercy from Himself and bounty and guide them to Himself on a straight path.

I suggest,
{4:175} So as for those who have believed in God and held fast to Him - then He will soon admit them to mercy from Himself and bounty and He guides them to Himself on a straight path.

Agree on both counts.
