In the name of Allah,
the Gracious, the Merciful
- O Prophet! If any of you divorce women, divorce them during their period of purity, and
calculate their term. And be pious before Allah, your Lord. And do not evict them from
their homes, nor shall they leave, unless they
have committed a proven adultery. These are
the limits of Allah—whoever oversteps Allah’s limits has wronged his own soul. You
never know; Allah may afterwards bring
about a new situation. - Once they have reached their term, either
retain them honorably, or separate from
them honorably. And call to witness two just
people from among you, and give upright testimony for Allah. By that is exhorted whoever
believes in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever fears Allah—He will make a way out for
him. - And will provide for him from where he
never expected. Whoever relies on Allah—
He will suffice him. Allah will accomplish His
purpose. Allah has set a measure to all things. - As for those of your women who have
reached menopause, if you have any doubts,
their term shall be three months—and also
for those who have not menstruated. As for
those who are pregnant, their term shall be
until they have delivered. Whoever fears Allah—He will make things easy for him. - This is the ordinance of Allah, which He
sent down to you. Whoever fears Allah—He
will remit his sins, and will amplify his reward. - Allow them to reside where you reside, according to your means, and do not harass them in order to make things difficult for them. If they are pregnant, spend on them until they give birth. And if they nurse your infant, give them their payment. And conduct your relation in amity. But if you disagree, then let another woman nurse him.
- The wealthy shall spend according to his
means; and he whose resources are restricted
shall spend according to what Allah has given
him. Allah never burdens a soul beyond what
He has given it. Allah will bring ease after
hardship. - How many a town defied the command of
its Lord and His messengers? So We held it
strictly accountable, and We punished it with
a dreadful punishment. - It tasted the result of its decisions, and the
outcome of its decisions was perdition. - Allah has prepared for them a severe retribution. So beware of Allah, O you who possess intellect and have faith. Allah has sent
down to you a Reminder. - A messenger who recites to you Allah’s
Verses, clear and distinct, that he may bring
those who believe and work righteousness
from darkness into light. Whoever believes in
Allah and acts with integrity, He will admit
him into gardens beneath which rivers flow,
therein to abide forever. Allah has given him
an excellent provision. - Allah is He Who created seven heavens,
and their like of earth. The command descends through them, so that you may know
that Allah is Capable of everything, and that
Allah Encompasses everything in knowledge.
