Ahmed Ali

O PROPHET WHEN you divorce women, divorce them at their appointed period, and calculate that period, and fear God, your Lord. Do not expel them from their houses, nor should they go away themselves, unless they are openly guilty of adultery. These are the limits set by God. Any one who exceeds the limits set by God sins against his own self. You never know that God may perchance lead to a new situation after this.

English

Ahmed Ali

When they have reached their appointed time, then either keep them lawfully or let them go honourably; but have two witnesses from among you, and give truthful evidence for (being acceptable to) God. This is to warn him who believes in God and the Last Day. God will furnish a way out for him who fears Him,

وَّيَرْزُقْہُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَي اللہِ فَہُوَحَسْبُہٗ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ بَالِغُ اَمْرِہٖ۝۰ۭ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللہُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا۝۳
Wayarzuqhu min haythu la yahtasibu waman yatawakkal AAala Allahi fahuwa hasbuhu inna Allaha balighu amrihi qad jaAAala Allahu likulli shayin qadran

English

Ahmed Ali

And provide for him from where he does not reckon. God is sufficient for him who places his trust in Him. Certainly God fulfills His purpose. God has indeed fixed a measure of everything.

English

Ahmed Ali

As for your women who have lost hope of menstruation, and in case you have a doubt, the prescribed period (of waiting) for them is three months, as also for those who have not menstruated yet. As for those who are pregnant, their prescribed period is until the delivery of the child. God will make things easy for him who is mindful of God.

ذٰلِكَ اَمْرُ اللہِ اَنْزَلَہٗۗ اِلَيْكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللہَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْہُ سَـيِّاٰتِہٖ وَيُعْظِمْ لَہٗۗ اَجْرًا۝۵

This is the commandment of God that is sent down to you. God will forgive the ills of those who fear Him, and increase their reward.

English

Ahmed Ali

House the (divorced) women where you live, according to your means; but do not harass them so as to reduce them to straitened circumstances. If they are pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth to the child. And if they suckle the child for you, then make the due payment to them, and consult each other appropriately. But if you find this difficult, let some other woman suckle (the child) for her.

English

Ahmed Ali

Let the man of means spend according to his means, and he whose means are limited, should spend of what God has given him. God does not burden a soul beyond what He has given him. God will bring ease after hardship.

وَكَاَيِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَۃٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّہَا وَرُسُلِہٖ فَحَاسَبْنٰہَا حِسَابًا شَدِيْدًا۝۰ۙ وَّعَذَّبْنٰہَا عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا۝۸
