بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاۤءَ فَطَلِّقُوْهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَاَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ رَبَّكُمْۚ لَا تُخْرِجُوْهُنَّ مِنْۢ بُيُوْتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّأْتِيْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍۗ وَتِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ ۗوَمَنْ يَّتَعَدَّ حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهٗ ۗ لَا تَدْرِيْ لَعَلَّ اللّٰهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ اَمْرًا
Yaa ai-yuhaannabii-yu idzaa thallaqtumunnisaa-a fathalliquuhunna li'iddatihinna waahshuul 'iddata waattaquullaha rabbakum laa tukhrijuuhunna min buyuutihinna walaa yakhrujna ilaa an ya'tiina bifaahisyatin mubai-yinatin watilka huduudullahi waman yata'adda huduudallahi faqad zhalama nafsahu laa tadrii la'allallaha yuhditsu ba'da dzalika amran
O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them for their waiting-period, and compute the waiting period accurately, and hold Allah, your Lord, in awe. Do not turn them out of their homes (during the waiting period) – nor should they go away (from their homes) – unless they have committed a manifestly evil deed. Such are the bounds set by Allah; and he who transgresses the bounds set by Allah commits a wrong against himself. You do not know: maybe Allah will cause something to happen to pave the way (for reconciliation).
فَاِذَا بَلَغْنَ اَجَلَهُنَّ فَاَمْسِكُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ فَارِقُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ وَّاَشْهِدُوْا ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِّنْكُمْ وَاَقِيْمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ لِلّٰهِ ۗذٰلِكُمْ يُوْعَظُ بِهٖ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ ەۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مَخْرَجًا ۙ
Fa-idzaa balaghna ajalahunna faamsikuuhunna bima'ruufin au faariquuhunna bima'ruufin wa-asyhiduu dzawai 'adlin minkum wa-aqiimuusy-syahaadata lillahi dzalikum yuu'azhu bihi man kaana yu'minu billahi wal yaumi-aakhiri waman yattaqillaha yaj'al lahu makhrajan
And when they reach the end of their term (of waiting), then either honourably retain them (in the bond of wedlock) or honourably part with them, and call two persons of known probity as witnesses from among yourselves, and (let these witnesses) give upright testimony for the sake of Allah. That is to what all those that believe in Allah and the Last Day are exhorted. Allah will find a way out for him who fears Allah,
وَّيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهٗ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَالِغُ اَمْرِهٖۗ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا
Wayarzuqhu min haitsu laa yahtasibu waman yatawakkal 'alallahi fahuwa hasbuhu innallaha baalighu amrihi qad ja'alallahu likulli syai-in qadran
and will provide him sustenance from whence he never even imagined. Whoever puts his trust in Allah, He shall suffice him. Surely Allah brings about what He decrees; Allah has set a measure for everything.
وَالّٰۤـِٔيْ يَىِٕسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيْضِ مِنْ نِّسَاۤىِٕكُمْ اِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلٰثَةُ اَشْهُرٍۙ وَّالّٰۤـِٔيْ لَمْ يَحِضْنَۗ وَاُولَاتُ الْاَحْمَالِ اَجَلُهُنَّ اَنْ يَّضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِهٖ يُسْرًا
Wal-laa-ii ya-isna minal mahiidhi min nisaa-ikum iniirtabtum fa'iddatuhunna tsalaatsatu asyhurin wal-laa-ii lam yahidhna wa-uulaatul ahmaali ajaluhunna an yadha'na hamlahunna waman yattaqillaha yaj'al lahu min amrihi yusran
The waiting period of those of your women who have lost all expectation of menstruation shall be three months in case you entertain any doubt; and the same shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated. As for pregnant women, their waiting period shall be until the delivery of their burden. Allah will create ease for him who fears Allah.
ذٰلِكَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ اَنْزَلَهٗٓ اِلَيْكُمْۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّاٰتِهٖ وَيُعْظِمْ لَهٗٓ اَجْرًا
Dzalika amrullahi anzalahu ilaikum waman yattaqillaha yukaffir 'anhu sai-yi-aatihi wayu'zhim lahu ajran
This is the commandment of Allah that He has revealed to you. Whoever fears Allah, He will expunge his evil deeds and will richly reward him.
اَسْكِنُوْهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنْتُمْ مِّنْ وُّجْدِكُمْ وَلَا تُضَاۤرُّوْهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُوْا عَلَيْهِنَّۗ وَاِنْ كُنَّ اُولَاتِ حَمْلٍ فَاَنْفِقُوْا عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتّٰى يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّۚ فَاِنْ اَرْضَعْنَ لَكُمْ فَاٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّۚ وَأْتَمِرُوْا بَيْنَكُمْ بِمَعْرُوْفٍۚ وَاِنْ تَعَاسَرْتُمْ فَسَتُرْضِعُ لَهٗٓ اُخْرٰىۗ
Askinuuhunna min haitsu sakantum min wujdikum walaa tudhaarruuhunna litudhai-yiquu 'alaihinna wa-in kunna uulaati hamlin fa-anfiquu 'alaihinna hatta yadha'na hamlahunna fa-in ardha'na lakum faaatuuhunna ujuurahunna wa'tamiruu bainakum bima'ruufin wa-in ta'aasartum fasaturdhi'u lahu ukhr(a)
(During the waiting period) lodge them according to your means wherever you dwell, and do not harass them to make them miserable. And if they are pregnant, provide for them maintenance until they have delivered their burden. And if they suckle your offspring whom they bore you, then give them due recompense, and graciously settle the question of compensation between yourselves by mutual understanding. But if you experience difficulty (in determining the compensation for suckling) then let another woman suckle the child.
لِيُنْفِقْ ذُوْ سَعَةٍ مِّنْ سَعَتِهٖۗ وَمَنْ قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهٗ فَلْيُنْفِقْ مِمَّآ اٰتٰىهُ اللّٰهُ ۗ لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا مَآ اٰتٰىهَاۗ سَيَجْعَلُ اللّٰهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُّسْرًا ࣖ
Liyunfiq dzuu sa'atin min sa'atihi waman qudira 'alaihi rizquhu falyunfiq mimmaa aataahullahu laa yukallifullahu nafsan ilaa maa aataahaa sayaj'alullahu ba'da 'usrin yusran
Whoever has abundant means, let him spend according to his means; and he whose means are straitened, let him spend out of what Allah has given him. Allah does not burden any human being beyond the means that He has bestowed upon him. Possibly Allah will grant ease after hardship.
وَكَاَيِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهٖ فَحَاسَبْنٰهَا حِسَابًا شَدِيْدًاۙ وَّعَذَّبْنٰهَا عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا
Waka-ai-yin min qaryatin 'atat 'an amri rabbihaa warusulihi fahaasabnaahaa hisaaban syadiidan wa'adz-dzabnaahaa 'adzaaban nukran
How many towns rebelled against the commandment of their Lord and His Messengers. Then We called them to a stern accounting, and subjected them to a harrowing chastisement.
فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ اَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ اَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا
Fadzaaqat wabaala amrihaa wakaana 'aaqibatu amrihaa khusran
So they tasted the evil fruit of their deeds; and the fruit of their deeds was utter loss.
اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًا ۖفَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ يٰٓاُولِى الْاَلْبَابِۛ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ۛ قَدْ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ اِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْرًاۙ
A'addallahu lahum 'adzaaban syadiidan faattaquullaha yaa uuliil albaabil-ladziina aamanuu qad anzalallahu ilaikum dzikran
Allah has laid in store for them a grievous chastisement. So fear Allah, O people of understanding who have attained to faith. Allah has sent down to you an Exhortation,
رَّسُوْلًا يَّتْلُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ مُبَيِّنٰتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ مِنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِۗ وَمَنْ يُّؤْمِنْۢ بِاللّٰهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا يُّدْخِلْهُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ اَبَدًاۗ قَدْ اَحْسَنَ اللّٰهُ لَهٗ رِزْقًا
Rasuulaa yatluu 'alaikum aayaatillahi mubai-yinaatin liyukhrijal-ladziina aamanuu wa'amiluush-shaalihaati minazh-zhulumaati ilannuuri waman yu'min billahi waya'mal shaalihan yudkhilhu jannaatin tajrii min tahtihaal anhaaru khaalidiina fiihaa abadan qad ahsanallahu lahu rizqan
a Messenger who rehearses to you Allah's verses that clearly expound the Guidance so that He may bring out those that believe and act righteously, from every kind of darkness into light. He will admit whosoever believes in Allah and acts righteously to Gardens beneath which rivers flow. They shall abide in them forever. For such has Allah made an excellent provision.
اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ وَّمِنَ الْاَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّۗ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْاَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ەۙ وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ اَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا ࣖ
Allahul-ladzii khalaqa sab'a samaawaatin waminal ardhi mitslahunna yatanazzalul amru bainahunna lita'lamuu annallaha 'ala kulli syai-in qadiirun wa-annallaha qad ahaatha bikulli syai-in 'ilman
Allah it is He Who created seven heavens, and, like them, the earth. His commandment descends among them. (All this is being stated so that you know) that Allah has power over everything, and that Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge.
