The Divorce · Madani · 12 Ayahs

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

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.

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

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 out

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

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 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

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. And whoever fears Allāh - He will make for him of his matter ease.

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

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.
