وَ يَسْــَٔـلُوْنَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيْضِ۝۰ۭ قُلْ ھُوَاَذًى۝۰ۙ فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاۗءَ فِي الْمَحِيْضِ۝۰ۙ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوْھُنَّ حَتّٰى يَطْہُرْنَ۝۰ۚ فَاِذَا تَطَہَّرْنَ فَاْتُوْھُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ اَمَرَكُمُ اؙ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ اللہَ يُحِبُّ التَّـوَّابِيْنَ وَيُحِبُّ الْمُتَطَہِّرِيْنَ۝۲۲۲

English

Ahmed Ali

They ask you about menstruation. Tell them: "This is a period of stress. So keep away from women in this state till they are relieved of it. When they are free of it, you may go to them as God has enjoined. For God loves those who seek pardon, and those who are clean."

222

نِسَاۗؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَّكُمْ۝۰۠ فَاْتُوْا حَرْثَكُمْ اَنّٰى شِئْتُمْ ۝۰ۡوَقَدِّمُوْا لِاَنْفُسِكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَاتَّقُوا اللہَ وَاعْلَمُوْۗا اَنَّكُمْ مُّلٰقُوْہُ۝۰ۭ وَ بَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ۝۲۲۳
Nisaokum harthun lakum fatoo harthakum anna shitum waqaddimoo lianfusikum waittaqoo Allaha waiAAlamoo annakum mulaqoohu wabashshiri almumineena

English

Ahmed Ali

Women are like fields for you; so seed them as you intend, but plan the future in advance. And fear God, and remember, you have to face Him in the end. So convey glad tidings to those who believe.

223

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا اللہَ عُرْضَۃً لِّاَيْمَانِكُمْ اَنْ تَبَرُّوْا وَتَـتَّقُوْا وَتُصْلِحُوْا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ۝۲۲۴
Wala tajAAaloo Allaha AAurdatan liaymanikum an tabarroo watattaqoo watuslihoo bayna alnnasi waAllahu sameeAAun AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Do not implicate God in your oaths to avoid doing good and being pious and keeping peace among men, for God hears all and knows everything.

224

لَا يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللہُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِيْۗ اَيْمَانِكُمْ وَلٰكِنْ يُّؤَاخِذُكُمْ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ قُلُوْبُكُمْ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ غَفُوْرٌ حَلِيْمٌ۝۲۲۵
La yuakhithukumu Allahu biallaghwi fee aymanikum walakin yuakhithukum bima kasabat quloobukum waAllahu ghafoorun haleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

God will not call you to account for that which is senseless in your oaths, but only for what is in your hearts; for God is forgiving and forbearing.

225

لِلَّذِيْنَ يُؤْلُوْنَ مِنْ نِّسَاۗىِٕہِمْ تَرَبُّصُ اَرْبَعَۃِ اَشْہُرٍ۝۰ۚ فَاِنْ فَاۗءُوْ فَاِنَّ اللہَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ۝۲۲۶
Lillatheena yuloona min nisaihim tarabbusu arbaAAati ashhurin fain faoo fainna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Those who swear to keep away from their wives (with intent of divorcing them) have four months of grace; then if they reconcile (during this period), surely God is forgiving and kind.

226

وَاِنْ عَزَمُوا الطَّلَاقَ فَاِنَّ اللہَ سَمِيْعٌ عَلِيْمٌ۝۲۲۷
Wain AAazamoo alttalaqa fainna Allaha sameeAAun AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

And if they are bent on divorce, God hears all and knows everything.

227

وَالْمُطَلَّقٰتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِاَنْفُسِہِنَّ ثَلٰثَۃَ قُرُوْۗءٍ۝۰ۭ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَہُنَّ اَنْ يَّكْتُمْنَ مَا خَلَقَ اللہُ فِيْۗ اَرْحَامِہِنَّ اِنْ كُنَّ يُؤْمِنَّ بِاللہِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ۝۰ۭ وَبُعُوْلَــتُہُنَّ اَحَقُّ بِرَدِّھِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ اِنْ اَرَادُوْۗا اِصْلَاحًا۝۰ۭ وَلَہُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِيْ عَلَيْہِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ۝۰۠ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْہِنَّ دَرَجَۃٌ۝۰ۭ وَاللہُ عَزِيْزٌ حَكِيْمٌ۝۲۲۸ۧ
Waalmutallaqatu yatarabbasna bianfusihinna thalathata qurooin wala yahillu lahunna an yaktumna ma khalaqa Allahu fee arhamihinna in kunna yuminna biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri wabuAAoolatuhunna ahaqqu biraddihinna fee thalika in aradoo islahan walahunna mithlu allathee AAalayhinna bialmaAAroofi walilrrijali AAalayhinna darajatun waAllahu AAazeezun hakeemun

English

Ahmed Ali

Women who are divorced have to wait for three monthly periods, and if they believe in God and the Last Day they must not hide unlawfully what God has formed within their wombs. Their husbands would do well to take them back in that case, if they wish to be reconciled. Women also have recognised rights as men have, though men have an edge over them. But God is all-mighty and all-wise.
