Chapter[ 65: AT-TALAQ (DIVORCE)
Verses[ 12 ] Revealed[ MADINA
---------------------------------------------------------------------
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
065.001
Y: O Prophet! When ye do divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed
periods, and count (accurately), their prescribed periods: And fear
Allah your Lord: and turn them not out of their houses, nor shall they
(themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open
lewdness, those are limits set by Allah: and any who transgresses the
limits of Allah, does verily wrong his (own) soul: thou knowest not if
perchance Allah will bring about thereafter some new situation.
P: O Prophet! When ye (men) put away women, put them away for their
(legal) period and reckon the period, and keep your duty to Allah, your
Lord. Expel them not from their houses nor let them go forth unless
they commit open immorality. Such are the limits (imposed by) Allah;
and whoso transgresseth Allah's limits, he verily wrongeth his soul.
Thou knowest not: it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new
thing to pass.
S: O Prophet! when you divorce women, divorce them for their prescribed
time, and calculate the number of the days prescribed, and be careful
of (your duty to) Allah, your Lord. Do not drive them out of their
houses, nor should they themselves go forth, unless they commit an open
indecency; and these are the limits of Allah, and whoever goes beyond
the limits of Allah, he indeed does injustice to his own soul. You do
not know that Allah may after that bring about reunion.
065.002
Y: Thus when they fulfil their term appointed, either take them back on
equitable terms or part with them on equitable terms; and take for
witness two persons from among you, endued with justice, and establish
the evidence (as) before Allah. Such is the admonition given to him who
believes in Allah and the Last Day. And for those who fear Allah, He
(ever) prepares a way out,
P: Then, when they have reached their term, take them back in kindness
or part from them in kindness, and call to witness two just men among
you, and keep your testimony upright for Allah. Whoso believeth in
Allah and the Last Day is exhorted to act thus. And whosoever keepeth
his duty to Allah, Allah will appoint a way out for him,
S: So when they have reached their prescribed time, then retain them
with kindness or separate them with kindness, and call to witness two
men of justice from among you, and give upright testimony for Allah.
With that is admonished he who believes in Allah and the latter day;
and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah, He will make for him an
outlet,
065.003
Y: And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if
any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For
Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has
Allah appointed a due proportion.
P: And will provide for him from (a quarter) whence he hath no
expectation. And whosoever putteth his trust in Allah, He will suffice
him. Lo! Allah bringeth His command to pass. Allah hath set a measure
for all things.
S: And give him sustenance from whence he thinks not; and whoever trusts
in Allah, He is sufficient for him; surely Allah attains His purpose;
Allah indeed has appointed a measure for everything.
065.004
Y: Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for
them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and
for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry
(life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their
burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.
P: And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt,
their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who
have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they
bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, He
maketh his course easy for him.
S: And (as for) those of your women who have despaired of menstruation,
if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall be three months, and
of those too who have not had their courses; and (as for) the pregnant
women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden; and
whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him his
affair.
065.005
Y: That is the Command of Allah, which He has sent down to you: and if
any one fears Allah, He will remove his ills, from him, and will
enlarge his reward.
P: That is the commandment of Allah which He revealeth unto you. And
whoso keepeth his duty to Allah, He will remit from him his evil deeds
and magnify reward for him.
S: That is the command of Allah which He has revealed to you, and
whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah, He will remove from him his
evil and give him a big reward.
065.006
Y: Let the women live (in 'iddat) in the same style as ye live,
according to your means: Annoy them not, so as to restrict them. And if
they carry (life in their wombs), then spend (your substance) on them
until they deliver their burden: and if they suckle your (offspring),
give them their recompense: and take mutual counsel together, according
to what is just and reasonable. And if ye find yourselves in
difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the (father's)
behalf.
P: Lodge them where ye dwell, according to your wealth, and harass them
not so as to straiten life for them. And if they are with child, then
spend for them till they bring forth their burden. Then, if they give
suck for you, give them their due payment and consult together in
kindness; but if ye make difficulties for one another, then let some
other woman give suck for him (the father of the child).
S: Lodge them where you lodge according to your means, and do not injure
them in order that you may straiten them; and if they are pregnant,
spend on them until they lay down their burden; then if they suckle for
you, give them their recompense and enjoin one another among you to do
good; and if you disagree, another (woman) shall suckle for him.
065.007
Y: Let the man of means spend according to his means: and the man whose
resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has
given him. Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given
him. After a difficulty, Allah will soon grant relief.
P: Let him who hath abundance spend of his abundance, and he whose
provision is measured, let him spend of that which Allah hath given
him. Allah asketh naught of any soul save that which He hath given it.
Allah will vouchsafe, after hardship, ease.
S: Let him who has abundance spend out of his abundance and whoever has
his means of subsistence straitened to him, let him spend out of that
which Allah has given him; Allah does not lay on any soul a burden
except to the extent to which He has granted it; Allah brings about
ease after difficulty.
065.008
Y: How many populations that insolently opposed the command of their
Lord and of His messengers, did We not then call to account,- to severe
account?- and We imposed on them an exemplary Punishment.
P: And how many a community revolted against the ordinance of its Lord
and His messengers, and We called it to a stern account and punished it
with dire punishment,
S: And how many a town which rebelled against the commandment of its
Lord and His messengers, so We called it to account severely and We
chastised it (with) a stern chastisement.
065.009
Y: Then did they taste the evil result of their conduct, and the End of
their conduct was Perdition.
P: So that it tasted the ill-effects of its conduct, and the consequence
of its conduct was loss.
S: So it tasted the evil result of its conduct, and the end of its
affair was perdition.
065.010
Y: Allah has prepared for them a severe Punishment (in the Hereafter).
Therefore fear Allah, O ye men of understanding - who have believed!-
for Allah hath indeed sent down to you a Message,-
P: Allah hath prepared for them stern punishment; so keep your duty to
Allah, O men of understanding! O ye who believe! Now Allah hath sent
down unto you a reminder,
S: Allah has prepared for them severe chastisement, therefore be careful
of (your duty to) Allah, O men of understanding who believe! Allah has
indeed revealed to you a reminder,
065.011
Y: A Messenger, who rehearses to you the Signs of Allah containing
clear explanations, that he may lead forth those who believe and do
righteous deeds from the depths of Darkness into Light. And those who
believe in Allah and work righteousness, He will admit to Gardens
beneath which Rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: Allah has indeed
granted for them a most excellent Provision.
P: A messenger reciting unto you the revelations of Allah made plain,
that He may bring forth those who believe and do good works from
darkness unto light. And whosoever believeth in Allah and doeth right,
He will bring him into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, therein to
abide for ever. Allah hath made good provision for him.
S: A Messenger who recites to you the clear communications of Allah so
that he may bring forth those who believe and do good deeds from
darkness into light; and whoever believes in Allah and does good deeds,
He will cause him to enter gardens beneath which rivers now, to abide
therein forever, Allah has indeed given him a goodly sustenance.
065.012
Y: Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar
number. Through the midst of them (all) descends His Command: that ye
may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah
comprehends, all things in (His) Knowledge.
P: Allah it is who hath created seven heavens, and of the earth the like
thereof. The commandment cometh down among them slowly, that ye may
know that Allah is Able to do all things, and that Allah surroundeth
all things in knowledge.
S: Allah is He Who created seven heavens, and of the earth the like of
them; the decree continues to descend among them, that you may know
that Allah has power over all things and that Allah indeed encompasses
all things in (His) knowledge.
