    قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّى وَذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى (١٤-١٥)

    بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَى إِنَّ هَذَا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى صُحُفِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَى (١٦-١٩)

    However, successful shall be he who purified [himself], and [for this] he remembered his Lord’s name, then prayed. People! you do not have any argument against it but give preference to this worldly life in spite of the fact that the life to come is better and more lasting, [and then this is not something new]: it is written in the earlier scriptures as well – the scriptures of Abraham and Moses. (87:14-19)

    Why it is added in the running translation without parentheses?

      Irfan Sahab (@Irfan76 ) can comment better as to why no parentheses have been used.

    According to Ghamidi sahib, the obvious conclusions which are integral but implicit part of a statement, should not be put in the parentheses. The other explanations he put in parentheses are of different kind.

    With due respect everything which is additional of the wordings of Allah SWT should be specified. As everyone can think differently and can conclude differently.

    Yes, one may differ with his approach. This is the matter of Ijtihad.
