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

فَإِذَا Then when بَلَغْنَ they have reached أَجَلَهُنَّ their term فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ then retain them بِمَعْرُوفٍ with kindness أَوْ or فَارِقُوهُنَّ part with them بِمَعْرُوفٍۢ with kindness وَأَشْهِدُوا۟ And take witness ذَوَىْ two men عَدْلٍۢ just مِّنكُمْ among you وَأَقِيمُوا۟ and establish ٱلشَّهَـٰدَةَ the testimony لِلَّهِ ۚ for Allah ذَٰلِكُمْ That يُوعَظُ is instructed بِهِۦ with it مَن whoever كَانَ [is] يُؤْمِنُ believes بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَٱلْيَوْمِ and the Day ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ ۚ the Last وَمَن And whoever يَتَّقِ fears ٱللَّهَ Allah يَجْعَل He will make لَّهُۥ for him مَخْرَجًۭا a way out ٢

وَيَرْزُقْهُ And He will provide for him مِنْ from حَيْثُ where لَا not يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ he thinks وَمَن And whoever يَتَوَكَّلْ puts his trust عَلَى upon ٱللَّهِ Allah فَهُوَ then He حَسْبُهُۥٓ ۚ (is) sufficient for him إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah بَـٰلِغُ (will) accomplish أَمْرِهِۦ ۚ His purpose قَدْ Indeed جَعَلَ has set ٱللَّهُ Allah لِكُلِّ for every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدْرًۭا a measure ٣

وَٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى And those who يَئِسْنَ have despaired مِنَ of ٱلْمَحِيضِ the menstruation مِن among نِّسَآئِكُمْ your women إِنِ if ٱرْتَبْتُمْ you doubt فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ then their waiting period ثَلَـٰثَةُ (is) three أَشْهُرٍۢ months وَٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى and the ones who لَمْ not يَحِضْنَ ۚ [they] menstruated وَأُو۟لَـٰتُ And those who (are) ٱلْأَحْمَالِ pregnant أَجَلُهُنَّ their term أَن until يَضَعْنَ they deliver حَمْلَهُنَّ ۚ their burdens وَمَن And whoever يَتَّقِ fears ٱللَّهَ Allah يَجْعَل He will make لَّهُۥ for him مِنْ of أَمْرِهِۦ his affair يُسْرًۭا ease ٤

ذَٰلِكَ That أَمْرُ (is the) Command ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah أَنزَلَهُۥٓ which He has sent down إِلَيْكُمْ ۚ to you وَمَن and whoever يَتَّقِ fears ٱللَّهَ Allah يُكَفِّرْ He will remove عَنْهُ from him سَيِّـَٔاتِهِۦ his evil deeds وَيُعْظِمْ and make great لَهُۥٓ for him أَجْرًا (his) reward ٥

أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ Lodge them مِنْ from حَيْثُ where سَكَنتُم you dwell مِّن (out) of وُجْدِكُمْ your means وَلَا and (do) not تُضَآرُّوهُنَّ harm them لِتُضَيِّقُوا۟ to distress عَلَيْهِنَّ ۚ [on] them وَإِن And if كُنَّ they are أُو۟لَـٰتِ those (who are) حَمْلٍۢ pregnant فَأَنفِقُوا۟ then spend عَلَيْهِنَّ on them حَتَّىٰ until يَضَعْنَ they deliver حَمْلَهُنَّ ۚ their burden فَإِنْ Then if أَرْضَعْنَ they suckle لَكُمْ for you فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ then give them أُجُورَهُنَّ ۖ their payment وَأْتَمِرُوا۟ and consult بَيْنَكُم among yourselves بِمَعْرُوفٍۢ ۖ with kindness وَإِن but if تَعَاسَرْتُمْ you disagree فَسَتُرْضِعُ then may suckle لَهُۥٓ for him أُخْرَىٰ another (women) ٦

لِيُنفِقْ Let spend ذُو owner سَعَةٍۢ (of) ample means مِّن from سَعَتِهِۦ ۖ his ample means وَمَن and (he) who قُدِرَ is restricted عَلَيْهِ on him رِزْقُهُۥ his provision فَلْيُنفِقْ let him spend مِمَّآ from what ءَاتَىٰهُ he has been given ٱللَّهُ ۚ (by) Allah لَا Does not يُكَلِّفُ burden ٱللَّهُ Allah نَفْسًا any soul إِلَّا except مَآ (with) what ءَاتَىٰهَا ۚ He has given it سَيَجْعَلُ Will bring about ٱللَّهُ Allah بَعْدَ after عُسْرٍۢ hardship يُسْرًۭا ease ٧

وَكَأَيِّن And how many مِّن of قَرْيَةٍ a town عَتَتْ rebelled عَنْ against أَمْرِ (the) Command رَبِّهَا (of) its Lord وَرُسُلِهِۦ and His Messengers فَحَاسَبْنَـٰهَا so We took it to account حِسَابًۭا an account شَدِيدًۭا severe وَعَذَّبْنَـٰهَا and We punished it عَذَابًۭا a punishment نُّكْرًۭا terrible ٨

فَذَاقَتْ So it tasted وَبَالَ (the bad) consequence أَمْرِهَا (of) its affair وَكَانَ and was عَـٰقِبَةُ (the) end أَمْرِهَا (of) its affair خُسْرًا loss ٩

أَعَدَّ Has prepared ٱللَّهُ Allah لَهُمْ for them عَذَابًۭا a punishment شَدِيدًۭا ۖ severe فَٱتَّقُوا۟ So fear ٱللَّهَ Allah يَـٰٓأُو۟لِى O men ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ (of) understanding ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ ۚ have believed قَدْ Indeed أَنزَلَ Has sent down ٱللَّهُ Allah إِلَيْكُمْ to you ذِكْرًۭا a Message ١٠

رَّسُولًۭا A Messenger يَتْلُوا۟ reciting عَلَيْكُمْ to you ءَايَـٰتِ (the) Verses ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah مُبَيِّنَـٰتٍۢ clear لِّيُخْرِجَ that he may bring out ٱلَّذِينَ those who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe وَعَمِلُوا۟ and do ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ righteous deeds مِنَ from ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ the darkness[es] إِلَى towards ٱلنُّورِ ۚ the light وَمَن And whoever يُؤْمِنۢ believes بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَيَعْمَلْ and does صَـٰلِحًۭا righteous deeds يُدْخِلْهُ He will admit him جَنَّـٰتٍۢ (into) Gardens تَجْرِى flow مِن from تَحْتِهَا underneath it ٱلْأَنْهَـٰرُ the rivers خَـٰلِدِينَ abiding فِيهَآ therein أَبَدًۭا ۖ forever قَدْ Indeed أَحْسَنَ Has been (granted) good ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah لَهُۥ for him رِزْقًا provision ١١

ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلَّذِى (is) He Who خَلَقَ created سَبْعَ seven سَمَـٰوَٰتٍۢ heavens وَمِنَ and of ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth مِثْلَهُنَّ (the) like of them يَتَنَزَّلُ Descends ٱلْأَمْرُ the command بَيْنَهُنَّ between them لِتَعْلَمُوٓا۟ that you may know أَنَّ that ٱللَّهَ Allah عَلَىٰ (is) on كُلِّ every شَىْءٍۢ thing قَدِيرٌۭ All-Powerful وَأَنَّ And that ٱللَّهَ Allah قَدْ indeed أَحَاطَ encompasses بِكُلِّ all شَىْءٍ things عِلْمًۢا (in) knowledge ١٢
