لَّا Not يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ will take you to task ٱللَّهُ Allah بِٱللَّغْوِ for (what is) unintentional فِىٓ in أَيْمَـٰنِكُمْ your oaths وَلَـٰكِن [and] but يُؤَاخِذُكُم He takes you to task بِمَا for what كَسَبَتْ (have) earned قُلُوبُكُمْ ۗ your hearts وَٱللَّهُ And Allah غَفُورٌ (is) Oft-Forgiving حَلِيمٌۭ Most Forbearing ٢٢٥

Allāh does not impose blame upon you for what is unintentional in your oaths, but He imposes blame upon you for what your hearts have earned. And Allāh is Forgiving and Forbearing.

لِّلَّذِينَ For those who يُؤْلُونَ swear (off) مِن from نِّسَآئِهِمْ their wives تَرَبُّصُ (is a) waiting (of) أَرْبَعَةِ four أَشْهُرٍۢ ۖ months فَإِن then if فَآءُو they return فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌۭ Most Merciful ٢٢٦

For those who swear not to have sexual relations with their wives is a waiting time of four months, but if they return [to normal relations] - then indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.

وَإِنْ And if عَزَمُوا۟ they resolve ٱلطَّلَـٰقَ (on) [the] divorce فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah سَمِيعٌ (is) All-Hearing عَلِيمٌۭ All-Knowing ٢٢٧

And if they decide on divorce - then indeed, Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.

2:228

وَٱلْمُطَلَّقَـٰتُ And the women who are divorced يَتَرَبَّصْنَ shall wait بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ concerning themselves ثَلَـٰثَةَ (for) three قُرُوٓءٍۢ ۚ monthly periods وَلَا And (it is) not يَحِلُّ lawful لَهُنَّ for them أَن that يَكْتُمْنَ they conceal مَا what خَلَقَ (has been) created ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah فِىٓ in أَرْحَامِهِنَّ their wombs إِن if كُنَّ they يُؤْمِنَّ believe بِٱللَّهِ in Allah وَٱلْيَوْمِ and the Day ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ ۚ [the] Last وَبُعُولَتُهُنَّ And their husbands أَحَقُّ (have) better right بِرَدِّهِنَّ to take them back فِى in ذَٰلِكَ that (period) إِنْ if أَرَادُوٓا۟ they wish إِصْلَـٰحًۭا ۚ (for) reconciliation وَلَهُنَّ And for them مِثْلُ (is the) like ٱلَّذِى (of) that which عَلَيْهِنَّ (is) on them بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ ۚ in a reasonable manner وَلِلرِّجَالِ and for the men عَلَيْهِنَّ over them دَرَجَةٌۭ ۗ (is) a degree وَٱللَّهُ And Allah عَزِيزٌ (is) All-Mighty حَكِيمٌ All-Wise ٢٢٨

Divorced women remain in waiting [i.e., do not remarry] for three periods, and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allāh has created in their wombs if they believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And their husbands have more right to take them back in this [period] if they want reconciliation. And due to them [i.e., the wives] is similar to what is expected of them, according to what is reasonable. But the men [i.e., husbands] have a degree over them [in responsibility and authority]. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.

2:229

ٱلطَّلَـٰقُ The divorce مَرَّتَانِ ۖ (is) twice فَإِمْسَاكٌۢ Then to retain بِمَعْرُوفٍ in a reasonable manner أَوْ or تَسْرِيحٌۢ to release (her) بِإِحْسَـٰنٍۢ ۗ with kindness وَلَا And (it is) not يَحِلُّ lawful لَكُمْ for you أَن that تَأْخُذُوا۟ you take (back) مِمَّآ whatever ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ you have given them شَيْـًٔا anything إِلَّآ except أَن if يَخَافَآ both fear أَلَّا that not يُقِيمَا they both (can) keep حُدُودَ (the) limits ٱللَّهِ ۖ (of) Allah فَإِنْ But if خِفْتُمْ you fear أَلَّا that not يُقِيمَا they both (can) keep حُدُودَ (the) limits ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah فَلَا then (there is) no جُنَاحَ sin عَلَيْهِمَا on both of them فِيمَا in what ٱفْتَدَتْ she ransoms بِهِۦ ۗ concerning it تِلْكَ These حُدُودُ (are the) limits ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah فَلَا so (do) not تَعْتَدُوهَا ۚ transgress them وَمَن And whoever يَتَعَدَّ transgresses حُدُودَ (the) limits ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ then those هُمُ they ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ (are) the wrongdoers ٢٢٩

Divorce is twice. Then [after that], either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment. And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep [within] the limits of Allāh. But if you fear that they will not keep [within] the limits of Allāh, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allāh, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allāh - it is those who are the wrongdoers [i.e., the unjust].

2:230

فَإِن Then if طَلَّقَهَا he divorces her فَلَا then (she is) not تَحِلُّ lawful لَهُۥ for him مِنۢ from بَعْدُ after (that) حَتَّىٰ until تَنكِحَ she marries زَوْجًا a spouse غَيْرَهُۥ ۗ other than him فَإِن Then if طَلَّقَهَا he divorces her فَلَا then no جُنَاحَ sin عَلَيْهِمَآ on them أَن if يَتَرَاجَعَآ they return to each other إِن if ظَنَّآ they believe أَن that يُقِيمَا they (will be able to) keep حُدُودَ (the) limits ٱللَّهِ ۗ (of) Allah وَتِلْكَ And these حُدُودُ (are the) limits ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah يُبَيِّنُهَا He makes them clear لِقَوْمٍۢ to a people يَعْلَمُونَ who know ٢٣٠

And if he has divorced her [for the third time], then she is not lawful to him afterward until [after] she marries a husband other than him. And if he [i.e., the latter husband] divorces her [or dies], there is no blame upon them [i.e., the woman and her former husband] for returning to each other if they think that they can keep [within] the limits of Allāh. These are the limits of Allāh, which He makes clear to a people who know [i.e.,understand].
