SURAH
AT-TALAQ
Allah in the name of The Most Affectionate, the Merciful.
1. 'O Prophet! When you people divorce your women, then
divorce them at the time of their prescribed periods and count
the prescribed period, and fear Allah, your Lord. Turn them
not out of their houses during prescribed period, nor should
they themselves go out, unless they are involved in any flagrant
indecency; These are the limits of Allah, and whoso crossed
the limits of Allah, undoubtedly, he did injustice to his own
soul. You know not that perhaps Allah may send any new commandment
after it.
2. Then, when they are about to reach their term, retain
them with kindness or part from them with kindness and take
two just persons as witnesses from among you and set up witness
for Allah. By this, he who believes in Allah and Last Day is
admonished. And he who fears Allah, Allah will make a way for
his deliverance.
3. And will provide for him whence he expects not. And he
who puts his trust in Allah - He is sufficient for him. Verily,
Allah is to fulfil His work. Undoubtedly, Allah has kept a measure
for every thing.
4. And as to your women who have no hope of menstruation;
if you are in doubt, then their prescribed period is three months,
and for those who have not yet menstruated. And the period of
the pregnant women is when they give birth to children. And
whose fears Allah, Allah will make his work easy.
5. This is the Commandment of Allah that He has sent towards
you. And whoso fears Allah, Allah will put off his evils and
will give him immense reward.
6. Make the women to dwell where you yourselves dwell according
to your means, and do not harm them so as to straiten them.
And if they are pregnant, then give them their maintenance till
they give birth to children, And if they suckle children for
you, give them their wages and consult together reasonably.
But if you mutually disagree then soon he (father) will get
another woman for sucking.
7. Let the man of means provide according to his means.
And as for him, upon whom his provision has been straitened,
let him give the maintenance of what Allah has given him. Allah
burdens no soul but to the extent of what He has given him it
is near the Allah will bring about ease after hardship.
8. And how many a city rebelled against the Commandments
of its Lord and His Messengers then We took a severe account
from it, and gave it a horrible punishment.
9. Therefore it tasted the mischief of its actions, and
the end of its affair was loss.
10. Allah has already prepared for them a severe torment;
therefore fear Allah, O men of understanding! Those who have
believed. Undoubtedly, Allah has sent down for you an honour;
11. The Messenger who recites unto you the bright signs
of Allah, so that he may bring forth those who believe and do-good
deeds from the darkness into light. And whoso believes in Allah
and does good deeds - He will make him enter gardens beneath
which streams flow, to abide therein forever. Undoubtedly, Allah
has made good provision for him.
12. Allah is, it is He, who made seven heavens, and of the
earth their like; the commandment comes down in their midst,
so that you may know that Allah can do everything, and the knowledge
of Allah encompasses everything.
