- O Prophet! When ye (men) put away women, put them away for
their (legal) period and reckon the period, and keep your duty to
Allah, your Lord. Expel them not from their houses nor let them go
forth unless they commit open immorality. Such are the limits (imposed
by) Allah; and whoso transgresseth Allah's limits, he verily wrongeth
his soul. Thou knowest not: it may be that Allah will afterward bring
some new thing to pass.
- Then, when they have reached their term, take them back in
kindness or part from them in kindness, and call to witness two just
men among you, and keep your testimony upright for Allah. Whoso
believeth in Allah and the Last Day is exhorted to act thus. And
whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, Allah will appoint a way out for
him,
- And will provide for him from (a quarter) whence he hath no
expectation. And whosoever putteth his trust in Allah, He will suffice
him. Lo! Allah bringeth His command to pass. Allah hath set a measure
for all things.
- And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye
doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with
those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be
till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to
Allah, He maketh his course easy for him.
- That is the commandment of Allah which He revealeth unto you.
And whoso keepeth his duty to Allah, He will remit from him his evil
deeds and magnify reward for him.
- Lodge them where ye dwell, according to your wealth, and
harass them not so as to straiten life for them. And if they are with
child, then spend for them till they bring forth their burden. Then,
if they give suck for you, give them their due payment and consult
together in kindness; but if ye make difficulties for one another,
then let some other woman give suck for him (the father of the child).
- Let him who hath abundance spend of his abundance, and he
whose provision is measured, let him spend of that which Allah hath
given him. Allah asketh naught of any soul save that which He hath
given it. Allah will vouchsafe, after hardship, ease.
- And how many a community revolted against the ordinance of its
Lord and His messengers, and We called it to a stern account and
punished it with dire punishment,
- So that it tasted the ill-effects of its conduct, and the
consequence of its conduct was loss.
- Allah hath prepared for them stern punishment; so keep your
duty to Allah, O men of understanding! O ye who believe! Now Allah
hath sent down unto you a reminder,
- A messenger reciting unto you the revelations of Allah made
plain, that He may bring forth those who believe and do good works
from darkness unto light. And whosoever believeth in Allah and doeth
right, He will bring him into Gardens underneath which rivers flow,
therein to abide for ever. Allah hath made good provision for him.
- Allah it is who hath created seven heavens, and of the earth
the like thereof. The commandment cometh down among them slowly, that
ye may know that Allah is Able to do all things, and that Allah
surroundeth all things in knowledge.
