وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ ٱلزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِٱللَّغْوِ مَرُّوا۟ كِرَامًۭا
And those who will not witness vanity, but when they pass near senseless play, pass by with dignity.

What It Means: Reading in Context
The description of the servants of the Most Merciful continues. Pickthall’s wording about vanity and senseless play is retained; other translations render these terms as falsehood and idle speech. This entry presents Qur’an 25:72 from Surah Al-Furqaan, with Arabic text and Marmaduke Pickthall’s English translation. The translation conveys meaning in English; it is not a replacement for the Arabic Qur’an. Read the linked passage with the verses before and after it, particularly when a sentence continues across verse boundaries. The topics shown here are editorial reading aids rather than an exhaustive interpretation of the passage. Our short reflection offers a possible practical response, clearly separated from scripture. It should not be repeated as a verse, hadith or authoritative tafsir. For detailed interpretation or questions about religious practice, consult qualified scholarship and the complete source.
