Edip-Layth (Quran: A Reformist Translation)
35:1 Praise be to God, Initiator of the heavens and the earth; maker of the controllers as messengers with powers/dimensions in twos, and threes, and fours. He increases in the creation as He wishes. God is able to do all things.1

Note 1
Malaika (singular: Malak) are powers or controllers employed by God to carry out God's specific commands and control the physical universe according to God's. Controllers (malaika) are contrasted with the Perverse (Satan). Controllers are commonly called angels, and through stories they are depicted females with wings. The word janaha (plural ajniha) is used 9 times in the Quran to mean "incline" (8:61) or wing of compassion and protection (15:88; 18:24; 20:22; 26:215; 28:32), bird's wing (6:38) and here, which can be understood as a wing of compassion and protection. However, considering another meaning of the word, “side" we may understand it as” dimension." Angels are not like birds and the odd numbers of "wings" turn it into a metaphor, rather than bird's wings. Besides, what is the function of wings? To make a mass afloat in the air. The vast space however has no air. The Christian concept of angels which was later adopted by Muslims contradict the concept of Malak mentioned in the Quran, since Malak's space is not limited with that of the airoplanes and birds. See 37:150; 66:6; 69:17; 89:22; 97:4.

Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
35:1 ALL PRAISE is due to God, Originator of the heavens and the earth, who causes the angels to be (His) message-bearers, endowed with wings, two, or three, or four.1 [Unceasingly] He adds to His creation whatever He wills: for, verily, God has the power to will anything.2
Note 1
The "wings" of the spiritual beings or forces comprised within the designation of angels are, obviously, a metaphor for the speed and power with which God's revelations are conveyed to His prophets. Their multiplicity ("two, or three, or four") is perhaps meant to stress the countless ways in which He causes His commands to materialize within the universe created by Him: an assumption which, to my mind, is supported by an authentic hadith to the effect that on the night of his Ascension (see Appendix IV) the Prophet saw Gabriel "endowed with six hundred wings" (Bukhari and Muslim, on the authority of Ibn Mas'ud).
Note 2
I.e., the process of creation is continuous, constantly expanding in scope, range and variety.

Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
35:10 He who desires might and glory [ought to know that] all might and glory belong to God [alone]. Unto Him ascend all good words, and the righteous deed does He exalt. But as for those who cunningly devise evil deeds - suffering severe awaits them; and all their devising is bound to come to nought.7
Note 7
It appears that in this context - as in the first paragraph of 10:21 or in 34:33 - both the noun makr (lit., "a scheme", or "scheming" or "plotting") and the verb yamkurun (lit., "they scheme" or "plot") have the connotation of "devising false [or "fallacious"] arguments" against something that is true. Since the preceding passages refer to God's creativeness and, in particular, to His power to create life and resurrect the dead (verse 9), the "evil deeds" spoken of above are, presumably, specious arguments meant to "disprove" the announcement of resurrection.

You will only be able to warn those who fear their Lord while unseen, and they hold the contact prayer. Whoever contributes, is contributing to himself. To God is the final destiny.

Muhammad Asad (The Message Of Quran)
35:18 AND NO BEARER of burdens shall be made to bear another's burden;15 and if one weighed down by his load calls upon [another] to help him carry it, nothing thereof may be carried [by that other], even if it be one's near of kin.16 Hence, thou canst [truly] warn only those who stand in awe of their Sustainer although He is beyond the reach of their perception,17 and are constant in prayer, and [know that] whoever grows in purity, attains to purity but for the good of his own self, and [that] with God is all journeys' end.
Note 15
I.e., on Judgment Day - for "whatever [wrong] any human being commits rests upon him alone" (6:164, which is followed by a sentence identical with the one above).
Note 16
Thus, any transfer of moral responsibility from one person to another is shown to be impossible. Whereas the first part of the above statement implies a negation of the Christian doctrine of "original sin" with which mankind is supposedly burdened, the second part categorically refutes the doctrine of the "vicarious atonement" of that sin by Jesus. (See also 53:38 and the corresponding note 31.)

The only people to heed your warnings are those who reverence their Lord, even when alone in their privacy, and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat).

35:18 And no person, being already burdened with his own doings, will be made to carry the burden of another. And if a laden one calls for help with his load, none can carry part of it even if he is a close relative. So, you can warn only those who understand their Lord’s Law of Recompense knowing that even their actions done in secrecy have consequences. So, such people follow the Divine Commands closely. Whoever grows in virtue does so for the good of his own ‘self’. And the destination of all is to God.

Note 18
One of the meanings of the term ummah (preferred by Zamakhshari in his commentary on the above verse) is "people of one time" or "age"; another, "people of one kind", i.e., "a nation" or a community" (which is adopted by me in this context). Taking into consideration a third, well-established meaning, namely, "a (particular) way of life" or "of behaviour" (Jawhari), the term "community" comes, in this instance, close to the modern concept of "civilization" in its historical sense. The stress on the warners (i.e., prophets) having "passed away" is meant to emphasize the humanness and mortality of each and all of them.

The audience of the Quran is everyone. For a farmer, the color of the soil provides valuable information about its use. For a scientist, the colorful stripes indicate different geologic layers or archeological evidences. For a painter, such a view is excellent artwork worth copying onto a canvas. For a miner, the color of the earth is as important as the color of gold and rock. For another one, the wisdom in the appearance of a raven sitting on the edge of a hill is as important as the others are (20:114).

35:39 He it is who has made you inherit the earth.24 Hence, he who is bent on denying the truth [of God's oneness and uniqueness ought to know that] this denial of his will fall back upon him: for their [persistent] denial of this truth does but add to the deniers' loathsomeness in their Sustainer's sight and, thus, their denial of this truth does but add to the deniers' loss.
Note 24
See note 22 on 2:30. In this instance, God's having made man "inherit the earth" implies the grant to him of the ability to discern between right and wrong as well as between truth and falsehood.
