Quran Surah 65 - At-Talaq (Divorce)
Ayat 1 - 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.
Ayat 2 - 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,
Ayat 3 - 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.
Ayat 4 - 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.
Ayat 5 - 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.
Ayat 6 - 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.
Ayat 7 - 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.
Ayat 8 - How many habitations rebelled against their
Lord´s command and His apostles; but We took them to severe task, and punished them with the harshest punishment.
Ayat 9 - So they tasted the pain of their actions;
and the consequence of their deeds was ruin.
Ayat 10 - God has prepared for them severe
punishment. So, you men of wisdom, and those who believe, take heed for yourselves and fear God. God has indeed sent down a
Reminder for you,
Ayat 11 - An Apostle who recites before you the
explicating revelations of God that He may bring those who believe and do the right out of darkness into light. Whosoever
believes in God and does the right, He will admit into gardens with rivers flowing by, where they will abide for ever. How
excellent a provision has God made for him
Ayat 12 - It is God who created several skies, and as
many earths. The commandment is sent down among them so that you may know that God has power over everything, and everything is
held within the knowledge of God.
