Verse 1

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O ٱلنَّبِىُّ Prophet إِذَا When طَلَّقْتُمُ you divorce ٱلنِّسَآءَ [the] women فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ then divorce them لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ for their waiting period وَأَحْصُوا۟ and keep count ٱلْعِدَّةَ ۖ (of) the waiting period وَٱتَّقُوا۟ and fear ٱللَّهَ Allah رَبَّكُمْ ۖ your Lord لَا (Do) not تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ expel them مِنۢ from بُيُوتِهِنَّ their houses وَلَا and not يَخْرُجْنَ they should leave إِلَّآ except أَن that يَأْتِينَ they commit بِفَـٰحِشَةٍۢ an immorality مُّبَيِّنَةٍۢ ۚ clear وَتِلْكَ And these حُدُودُ (are the) limits ٱللَّهِ ۚ (of) Allah وَمَن And whoever يَتَعَدَّ transgresses حُدُودَ (the) limits ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah فَقَدْ then certainly ظَلَمَ he has wronged نَفْسَهُۥ ۚ himself لَا Not تَدْرِى you know لَعَلَّ Perhaps ٱللَّهَ Allah يُحْدِثُ will bring about بَعْدَ after ذَٰلِكَ that أَمْرًۭا a matter ١

O Prophet, when you [Muslims] divorce women, divorce them for [the commencement of] their waiting period and keep count of the waiting period, 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.
