يَا أَيُّهَا
النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاء فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ
لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ
لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ |
|
1- |
O Prophet, when you (Muslims) decide to
divorce your wives, you have to divorce them by considering and observing their period and do count the accurate number of days (since last day of their menstrual period). 1 And be ever so conscious of God, your Lord. And do not expel them out of their homes, neither should they leave (their husband, or family) except if they committed an evident illicit sexual act. And those are the limits set by God and whoever trespasses the limits of God, then does wrong to himself. You don’t know (the future), may be God will cause some good things to happen after that ordeal. |
|
فَإِذَا
بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ
فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِّنكُمْ
وَأَقِيمُوا |
|
2- |
Then when they reach the end of their
waiting-period, either keep them in good manner or part with them in good manner. And (in the case of divorce,) two just people from among you (Muslim), have to witness (the divorce,) and do establish such testimony for God. This is what anyone who believes in God and the Afterlife, is advised to observe. And whoever is mindful of God, He will give him (or her) a way out (of trouble and difficulties or unhappiness). |
|
وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا |
|
3- |
And He will provide him (or her) from sources
which he (or her) does not count on. And whoever trusts in God, then He will suffice him. Certainly God will make His Command fulfilled. Indeed God has set a measure and destiny for all matters. |
|
وَاللَّائِي
يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِن نِّسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ
فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ |
|
4- |
As for those of your women who have already
passed the age of monthly periods, if you have any doubt about it, then their waiting period should be three months (of no sex before any divorce), as for those who do not have periods, their waiting period should be the same as mentioned before (three months). In regards to pregnant ones, their waiting period is till they deliver. And whoever is mindful of God, He will make his (or her) matter easy for him (or her). |
|
ذَلِكَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ أَنزَلَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ وَيُعْظِمْ لَهُ أَجْرًا |
|
5- |
That is the Commandment of God, which He has sent down to you; and whoever heeds God’s Commandments, He will cover his (or her) sins away from that person and He will enlarge and make his (or her) rewards great. |
|
أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ
مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنتُم مِّن وُجْدِكُمْ وَلَا تُضَارُّوهُنَّ
لِتُضَيِّقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ وَإِن كُنَّ أُولَاتِ حَمْلٍ
فَأَنفِقُوا |
|
6- |
Give them lodging from the same or similar
lodging, according to your means, and do not harm them, so as to make life hard on them. And if they are pregnant, then pay their necessary expenses till they deliver their baby. And if they (accept to) nurse for your baby, then pay them for that, and communicate with each other nicely. But if you disagree (about the nursing), then another woman should nurse for the baby. |
|
لِيُنفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِّن سَعَتِهِ وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ فَلْيُنفِقْ مِمَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا مَا آتَاهَا سَيَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا |
|
7- |
The rich man should spend from his wealth
(for the welfare of the wife and the baby) and the man whose means are limited, (should pay) from whatever God has given him. God does not burden any person beyond what He has given him. Indeed God will grant soon ease after hardship. |
|
وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ فَحَاسَبْنَاهَا حِسَابًا شَدِيدًا وَعَذَّبْنَاهَا عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا |
|
8- |
And how many a town folks who revolted
against the Command of their Lord and His Messengers, then We called them to a severe accounting and punished them with a horrible torment. |
|
فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا |
|
9- |
So each town tasted the bad result of its behavior, and the consequence of its behavior was a loss. |
|
أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يَا أُوْلِي الْأَلْبَابِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَدْ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْرًا |
|
10- |
God has also prepared for them a severe
punishment (in the Afterlife and in this world). Therefore be mindful of God. O you people of understanding, who have believed, God has indeed sent down a Reminder Advice for you (this Quran), |
|
رَّسُولًا
يَتْلُو عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ مُبَيِّنَاتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَ
الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ
إِلَى النُّورِ وَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ |
|
11- |
Also a Messenger (Muhammad), who reads the
clarifying Verses of God, so that He would bring those who have believed and have done righteous good deeds, out of darkness into the light (of guidance). And whoever believes in God and does righteous good deeds, He will admit him (or her) into Gardens (of Paradise), down where streams and rivers flow, to stay there forever; God has indeed granted (already) a nice livelihood for that person. |
|
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ
وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ
لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ |
|
12- |
God is the One, Who has created the seven
(seven in Arabic could also mean numerous) heavens and (as far as the earth is concerned, He created) other earths like them (like other planets), His (Creative) Command comes down among and within them, so you should know that God has power over all things and that God indeed controls everything by His Knowledge. |
