Quote:
{25:61} Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.

I suggest,
{25:61} Blessed is He who placed in the sky constellations and placed therein a lamp (the sun) and a luminous moon.

Quote:
{25:62} And it is He who has made the night and the day in succession for whoever desires to remember or desires gratitude.

The phrase "desires gratitude" may be understood by some as desires gratitude for oneself, which is the opposite of what is meant. What is meant here is "desires to offer gratitude to God." I suggest,
{25:62} And it is He who made the night and the day in succession for whoever desires to remember or desires [to express] gratitude.
