Quote:
{68:33} Such is the punishment [of this world]. And the punishment of the Hereafter is greater, if they only knew.

I suggest,
{68:33} Like that is the torment. And the torment of the Hereafter is bigger, if they knew.

Quote:
{68:34} Indeed, for the righteous with their Lord are the Gardens of Pleasure.

I'd say "Gardens of luxury." "Pleasure" better translates سرور.

So, I suggest,
{68:34} Verily, for the pious with their Lord are the Gardens of luxury.

Quote:

{68:35} Will We then will make the Muslims like the criminals?
