Quote:
{54:11} Then We opened the gates of the heaven with rain pouring down
"Then" is wrong here, because the Arabic uses the immediate consequence article,
فـ, so I suggest,
{54:11} We promptly opened the gates of the sky with rain pouring down.Quote:
{54:12} And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter already predestined.
I suggest,
{54:12} And caused the earth to burst with springs, and the waters met for a matter that was precisely determined.Quote:
{54:14} Sailing under Our observation as reward for he who had been denied.
I suggest,
{54:14} Sailing under Our [watchful] eyes, a reward for him who has been rejected.
