At-Talaq الطلاق

In the name of God, the All-Benevolent, the Benevolent. O Informant! When you repudiate women, repudiate them with regard to their prescribed waiting period, and enumerate that period.

بِسۡمِ اِ۬للَّهِ اِ۬لرَّحۡمَٰنِ اِ۬لرَّحِيمِ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا اَ۬لنَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقۡتُمُ اُ۬لنِّسَآءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحۡصُواْ اُ۬لۡعِدَّةَۖ

And guard yourselves toward God, your Guardian.

وَاَتَّقُواْ اُ۬للَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡۖ

Do not make them leave their houses,

لَا تُخۡرِجُوهُنَّ مِنۢ بُيُوتِهِنَّ

nor should they leave, unless they commit a flagrant indecency.

وَلَا يَخۡرُجۡنَ إِلَّآ أَن يَأۡتِينَ بِفَٰحِشَةٖ مُّبَيِّنَةٖۚ

And those are the limits of God.

وَتِلۡكَ حُدُودُ اُ۬للَّهِۚ

And whoever crosses the limits of God has wronged his own Self.

وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اَ۬للَّهِ فَقَد ظَّلَمَ نَفۡسَهُۥۚ

Then, when they reach their term, retain them according to what is recognized or part from them according to what is recognized,

فَإِذَا بَلَغۡنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمۡسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٖ

and take as witnesses two just ones among you,

وَأَشۡهِدُواْ ذَوَيۡ عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ

and maintain the testimony for God.

وَأَقِيمُواْ اُ۬لشَّهَٰدَةَ لِلَّهِۚ

And whoever guards himself toward God, He grants him a way out, and provides for him from where he does not expect.

وَمَن يَتَّقِ اِ۬للَّهَ يَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مَخۡرَجٗا وَيَرۡزُقۡهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَحۡتَسِبُۚ

And whoever entrusts himself to God, He is sufficient for him,

وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى اَ۬للَّهِ فَهۡوَ حَسۡبُهُۥٓۚ

for God brings His command to its term.

إِنَّ اَ۬للَّهَ بَٰلِغٌ أَمۡرَهُۥۚ

And as for those of your women who have lost hope of menstruation, if you are in doubt, their waiting period is three months, and likewise for those who have not had their menstruation.

۞ وَاَلَّٰٓيۡ يَئِسۡنَ مِنَ اَ۬لۡمَحِيضِ مِن نِّسَآئِكُمۡ إِنِ اِ۪رۡتَبۡتُمۡ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَٰثَةُ أَشۡهُرٖ وَاَلَّٰٓيۡ لَمۡ يَحِضۡنَۚ

And for pregnant women, their term is when they give birth to what they carry.

وَأُوْلَٰتُ اُ۬لۡأَحۡمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعۡنَ حَمۡلَهُنَّۚ

That is God's command, which He has sent down to you.

ذَٰلِكَ أَمۡرُ اُ۬للَّهِ أَنزَلَهُۥٓ إِلَيۡكُمۡۚ

Let them dwell where you yourselves dwell, according to your means,

أَسۡكِنُوهُنَّ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ سَكَنتُم مِّن وُجۡدِكُمۡ

and do not harm them so as to put them in straits.

وَلَا تُضَآرُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّۚ

And if they are pregnant, provide for them until they give birth to what they carry.

وَإِن كُنَّ أُوْلَٰتِ حَمۡلٖ فَأَنفِقُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَضَعۡنَ حَمۡلَهُنَّۚ

Then, if they take the child into care for you, give them their rewards, and consult together according to what is recognized.

فَإِنۡ أَرۡضَعۡنَ لَكُمۡ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَأۡتَمِرُواْ بَيۡنَكُم بِمَعۡرُوفٖۖ

Let the well-off spend according to his ampleness,

لِيُنفِقۡ ذُو سَعَةٖ مِّن سَعَتِهِۦۖ

and let whoever's provision is restricted spend from what God has given him.

وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقُهُۥ فَلۡيُنفِقۡ مِمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُ اُ۬للَّهُۚ

God imposes upon no Self except what He has given it.

لَا يُكَلِّفُ اُ۬للَّهُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا مَآ ءَاتَىٰهَاۚ

How many a city defied with insolence the command of its Guardian and His messengers! We called it to a severe account and punished it with a horrible punishment, and it tasted the baleful consequences of its conduct.

۞ وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرۡيَةٍ عَتَتۡ عَنۡ أَمۡرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِۦ فَحَاسَبۡنَٰهَا حِسَابٗا شَدِيدٗا وَعَذَّبۡنَٰهَا عَذَابٗا نُّكۡرٗا فَذَاقَتۡ وَبَالَ أَمۡرِهَا

God has prepared for them a severe punishment.

أَعَدَّ اَ۬للَّهُ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٗا شَدِيدٗاۖ

So guard yourselves toward God, O possessors of intelligence,

فَاَتَّقُواْ اُ۬للَّهَ يَٰٓأُوْلِي اِ۬لۡأَلۡبَٰبِ

a messenger who recites to you God's clarifying signs, so as to bring those who have believed and done sound deeds out of the darknesses into the light.

رَّسُولٗا يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡكُمۡ ءَايَٰتِ اِ۬للَّهِ مُبَيَّنَٰتٖ لِّيُخۡرِجَ اَ۬لَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ اُ۬لصَّٰلِحَٰتِ مِنَ اَ۬لظُّلُمَٰتِ إِلَى اَ۬لنُّورِۚ

God is the One who created seven heavens, and of the earth their like.

اِ۬للَّهُ اُ۬لَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبۡعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٖ وَمِنَ اَ۬لۡأَرۡضِ مِثۡلَهُنَّۖ
