25. Al-Furqan (The Criterion): 61-63

Exalted is He who put constellations in the heavens, a radiant light, and an illuminating moon- it is He who made the night and day follow each other- so anyone who wishes may be mindful or show gratitude. The servants of the Lord of Mercy are those who walk humbly on the earth, and who, when the foolish address them, reply, ‘Peace’; (Abdul Haleem)


Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon. And it is He who has made the night and the day in succession for whoever desires to remember or desires gratitude. And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace, (Saheeh International)


Blessed is He Who made constellations in the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light. And it is He Who made the Night and the Day to follow each other: for such as have the will to celebrate His praises or to show their gratitude. And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth in humility, and when the ignorant address them, they say, 'Peace!' (Yusuf Ali)


HALLOWED is He who has set up in the skies great constellations, and has placed among them a [radiant] lamp and a light-giving moon. And He it is who causes the night and the day to succeed one another, [revealing Himself in His works] unto him who has the will to take thought - that is, has the will to be grateful. For, [true] servants of the Most Gracious are [only] they who walk gently on earth, and who, whenever the foolish address them, reply with [words of] peace; (Muhammad Asad)


Blessed is the One Who has placed constellations in the sky, as well as a ˹radiant˺ lamp and a luminous moon. And He is the One Who causes the day and the night to alternate, ˹as a sign˺ for whoever desires to be mindful or to be grateful. The ˹true˺ servants of the Most Compassionate are those who walk on the earth humbly, and when the foolish address them ˹improperly˺, they only respond with peace. (Mustafa Khattab)


Blessed is He who placed in the heavens constellations of stars, and placed a burning lamp in it and the luminous moon. It is He who made the night and day an alternation for him who cares to reflect and be grateful. Devotees of Ar-Rahman are those who walk with humility on the earth, and when they are addressed by the ignorant, say: 'Peace;" (Ahmed Ali)


Blessed is He Who set up in the sky great constellations, and put therein a radiant Lamp, and a Moon shining with light. And He is the One Who causes the night and the day to succeed each other: (Sufficient sign) for him who is willing to be mindful, and who is willing to be appreciative (for the evident signs). The true servants of the Beneficent are those who walk upon the earth humbly, and when the ignorant ones address them, they say, 'Peace!' [3:138, 22:41, 31:17-18] (Shabbir Ahmed)
