The Divorce
﷽
الطلاق
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā Prophet l-nabiyu When idhā you divorce ṭallaqtumu [the] women l-nisāa then divorce them faṭalliqūhunna for their waiting period liʿiddatihinna and keep count wa-aḥṣū (of) the waiting period l-ʿidata and fear wa-ittaqū Allah l-laha your Lord rabbakum (Do) not lā expel them tukh'rijūhunna from min their houses buyūtihinna and not walā they should leave yakhruj'na except illā that an they commit yatīna an immorality bifāḥishatin clear mubayyinatin And these watil'ka (are the) limits ḥudūdu (of) Allah l-lahi And whoever waman transgresses yataʿadda (the) limits ḥudūda (of) Allah l-lahi then certainly faqad he has wronged ẓalama himself nafsahu Not lā you know tadrī Perhaps laʿalla Allah l-laha will bring about yuḥ'dithu after baʿda that dhālika a matter amran
O Prophet, when you [Muslims] divorce women, divorce them for [the commencement of] their waiting period and keep count of the waiting period,1 and fear Allāh, your Lord. Do not turn them out of their [husbands'] houses, nor should they [themselves] leave [during that period] unless they are committing a clear immorality. And those are the limits [set by] Allāh. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allāh has certainly wronged himself. You know not; perhaps Allāh will bring about after that a [different] matter.2
فَإِذَا Then when fa-idhā they have reached balaghna their term ajalahunna then retain them fa-amsikūhunna with kindness bimaʿrūfin or aw part with them fāriqūhunna with kindness bimaʿrūfin And take witness wa-ashhidū two men dhaway just ʿadlin among you minkum and establish wa-aqīmū the testimony l-shahādata for Allah lillahi That dhālikum is instructed yūʿaẓu with it bihi whoever man [is] kāna believes yu'minu in Allah bil-lahi and the Day wal-yawmi the Last l-ākhiri And whoever waman fears yattaqi Allah l-laha He will make yajʿal for him lahu a way out makhrajan
And when they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or part with them according to acceptable terms. And bring to witness two just men from among you and establish the testimony for [the acceptance of] Allāh. That is instructed to whoever should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And whoever fears Allāh - He will make for him a way out1
وَيَرْزُقْهُ And He will provide for him wayarzuq'hu from min where ḥaythu not lā he thinks yaḥtasibu And whoever waman puts his trust yatawakkal upon ʿalā Allah l-lahi then He fahuwa (is) sufficient for him ḥasbuhu Indeed inna Allah l-laha (will) accomplish bālighu His purpose amrihi Indeed qad has set jaʿala Allah l-lahu for every likulli thing shayin a measure qadran
And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allāh - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allāh will accomplish His purpose. Allāh has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.
وَٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى And those who wa-allāī have despaired ya-is'na of mina the menstruation l-maḥīḍi among min your women nisāikum if ini you doubt ir'tabtum then their waiting period faʿiddatuhunna (is) three thalāthatu months ashhurin and the ones who wa-allāī not lam [they] menstruated yaḥiḍ'na And those who (are) wa-ulātu pregnant l-aḥmāli their term ajaluhunna until an they deliver yaḍaʿna their burdens ḥamlahunna And whoever waman fears yattaqi Allah l-laha He will make yajʿal for him lahu of min his affair amrihi ease yus'ran
And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth.1 And whoever fears Allāh - He will make for him of his matter ease.
ذَٰلِكَ That dhālika (is the) Command amru (of) Allah l-lahi which He has sent down anzalahu to you ilaykum and whoever waman fears yattaqi Allah l-laha He will remove yukaffir from him ʿanhu his evil deeds sayyiātihi and make great wayuʿ'ẓim for him lahu (his) reward ajran
That is the command of Allāh, which He has sent down to you; and whoever fears Allāh - He will remove for him his misdeeds and make great for him his reward.
أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ Lodge them askinūhunna from min where ḥaythu you dwell sakantum (out) of min your means wuj'dikum and (do) not walā harm them tuḍārrūhunna to distress lituḍayyiqū [on] them ʿalayhinna And if wa-in they are kunna those (who are) ulāti pregnant ḥamlin then spend fa-anfiqū on them ʿalayhinna until ḥattā they deliver yaḍaʿna their burden ḥamlahunna Then if fa-in they suckle arḍaʿna for you lakum then give them faātūhunna their payment ujūrahunna and consult watamirū among yourselves baynakum with kindness bimaʿrūfin but if wa-in you disagree taʿāsartum then may suckle fasatur'ḍiʿu for him lahu another (women) ukh'rā
Lodge them1 [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means and do not harm them in order to oppress them.2 And if they should be pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth. And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment and confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; but if you are in discord, then there may breastfeed for him [i.e., the father] another woman.3
لِيُنفِقْ Let spend liyunfiq owner dhū (of) ample means saʿatin from min his ample means saʿatihi and (he) who waman is restricted qudira on him ʿalayhi his provision riz'quhu let him spend falyunfiq from what mimmā he has been given ātāhu (by) Allah l-lahu Does not lā burden yukallifu Allah l-lahu any soul nafsan except illā (with) what mā He has given it ātāhā Will bring about sayajʿalu Allah l-lahu after baʿda hardship ʿus'rin ease yus'ran
Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allāh has given him. Allāh does not charge a soul except [according to] what He has given it. Allāh will bring about, after hardship, ease [i.e., relief].
وَكَأَيِّن And how many waka-ayyin of min a town qaryatin rebelled ʿatat against ʿan (the) Command amri (of) its Lord rabbihā and His Messengers warusulihi so We took it to account faḥāsabnāhā an account ḥisāban severe shadīdan and We punished it waʿadhabnāhā a punishment ʿadhāban terrible nuk'ran
And how many a city was insolent toward the command of its Lord and His messengers, so We took it to severe account and punished it with a terrible punishment.
فَذَاقَتْ So it tasted fadhāqat (the bad) consequence wabāla (of) its affair amrihā and was wakāna (the) end ʿāqibatu (of) its affair amrihā loss khus'ran
And it tasted the bad consequence of its affair [i.e., rebellion], and the outcome of its affair was loss.
أَعَدَّ Has prepared aʿadda Allah l-lahu for them lahum a punishment ʿadhāban severe shadīdan So fear fa-ittaqū Allah l-laha O men yāulī (of) understanding l-albābi those who alladhīna have believed āmanū Indeed qad Has sent down anzala Allah l-lahu to you ilaykum a Message dhik'ran
Allāh has prepared for them a severe punishment; so fear Allāh, O you of understanding who have believed. Allāh has sent down to you a message [i.e., the Qur’ān].1
رَّسُولًۭا A Messenger rasūlan reciting yatlū to you ʿalaykum (the) Verses āyāti (of) Allah l-lahi clear mubayyinātin that he may bring out liyukh'rija those who alladhīna believe āmanū and do waʿamilū righteous deeds l-ṣāliḥāti from mina the darkness[es] l-ẓulumāti towards ilā the light l-nūri And whoever waman believes yu'min in Allah bil-lahi and does wayaʿmal righteous deeds ṣāliḥan He will admit him yud'khil'hu (into) Gardens jannātin flow tajrī from min underneath it taḥtihā the rivers l-anhāru abiding khālidīna therein fīhā forever abadan Indeed qad Has been (granted) good aḥsana (by) Allah l-lahu for him lahu provision riz'qan
[He sent] a Messenger [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] reciting to you the distinct verses of Allāh that He may bring out those who believe and do righteous deeds from darknesses into the light. And whoever believes in Allāh and does righteousness - He will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow to abide therein forever. Allāh will have perfected for him a provision.
ٱللَّهُ Allah al-lahu (is) He Who alladhī created khalaqa seven sabʿa heavens samāwātin and of wamina the earth l-arḍi (the) like of them mith'lahunna Descends yatanazzalu the command l-amru between them baynahunna that you may know litaʿlamū that anna Allah l-laha (is) on ʿalā every kulli thing shayin All-Powerful qadīrun And that wa-anna Allah l-laha indeed qad encompasses aḥāṭa all bikulli things shayin (in) knowledge ʿil'man
It is Allāh who has created seven heavens and of the earth, the like of them.1 [His] command descends among them so you may know that Allāh is over all things competent and that Allāh has encompassed all things in knowledge.
