یَا أَیُّهَا النَّبِیُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّکُمْ لا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُیُوتِهِنَّ وَلا یَخْرُجْنَ إِلا أَنْ یَأْتِینَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَیِّنَةٍ وَتِلْکَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ یَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لا تَدْرِی لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ یُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ أَمْرًا (١)فَإِذَا بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِکُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَیْ عَدْلٍ مِنْکُمْ وَأَقِیمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ لِلَّهِ ذَلِکُمْ یُوعَظُ بِهِ مَنْ کَانَ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْیَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَمَنْ یَتَّقِ اللَّهَ یَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا (٢)وَیَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَیْثُ لا یَحْتَسِبُ وَمَنْ یَتَوَکَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِکُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدْرًا (٣)وَاللائِی یَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِیضِ مِنْ نِسَائِکُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللائِی لَمْ یَحِضْنَ وَأُولاتُ الأحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ یَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ وَمَنْ یَتَّقِ اللَّهَ یَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ یُسْرًا (٤)ذَلِکَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ أَنْزَلَهُ إِلَیْکُمْ وَمَنْ یَتَّقِ اللَّهَ یُکَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَیِّئَاتِهِ وَیُعْظِمْ لَهُ أَجْرًا (٥)أَسْکِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَیْثُ سَکَنْتُمْ مِنْ وُجْدِکُمْ وَلا تُضَارُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَیِّقُوا عَلَیْهِنَّ وَإِنْ کُنَّ أُولاتِ حَمْلٍ فَأَنْفِقُوا عَلَیْهِنَّ حَتَّى یَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ فَإِنْ أَرْضَعْنَ لَکُمْ فَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَأْتَمِرُوا بَیْنَکُمْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَإِنْ تَعَاسَرْتُمْ فَسَتُرْضِعُ لَهُ أُخْرَى (٦)لِیُنْفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِنْ سَعَتِهِ وَمَنْ قُدِرَ عَلَیْهِ رِزْقُهُ فَلْیُنْفِقْ مِمَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ لا یُکَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلا مَا آتَاهَا سَیَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ یُسْرًا (٧)وَکَأَیِّنْ مِنْ قَرْیَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ فَحَاسَبْنَاهَا حِسَابًا شَدِیدًا وَعَذَّبْنَاهَا عَذَابًا نُکْرًا (٨)فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَکَانَ عَاقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا (٩)أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِیدًا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ یَا أُولِی الألْبَابِ الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَیْکُمْ ذِکْرًا (١٠)رَسُولا یَتْلُو عَلَیْکُمْ آیَاتِ اللَّهِ مُبَیِّنَاتٍ لِیُخْرِجَ الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَمَنْ یُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَیَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا یُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِی مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأنْهَارُ خَالِدِینَ فِیهَا أَبَدًا قَدْ أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ لَهُ رِزْقًا (١١)اللَّهُ الَّذِی خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الأرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ یَتَنَزَّلُ الأمْرُ بَیْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى کُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِکُلِّ شَیْءٍ عِلْمًا (١٢)

1. O Prophet! when ye do divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed periods, and count (accurately), their prescribed periods: and fear Allah your Lord: and turn them not out of their houses, nor shall They (themselves) leave, except In case They are guilty of some open lewdness, those are limits set by Allah. and any who transgresses the limits of Allah, does Verily wrong His (own) soul: Thou Knowest not if Perchance Allah will bring about thereafter some new situation.

2. Thus when They fulfil their term appointed, either take them back on equitable terms or part with them on equitable terms; and take for witness two persons from among you, endued with justice, and establish the evidence (as) before Allah. such is the admonition given to Him who believes In Allah and the Last Day. and for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out,

3. And He Provides for Him from (sources) He never could imagine. and if any one puts His trust In Allah, sufficient is ((Allah)) for Him. for Allah will surely accomplish His purpose: Verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.

4. Such of your women As have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three Months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until They deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.

5. That is the command of Allah, which He has sent down to you: and if any one fears Allah, He will remove His ills, from him, and will enlarge His reward.

6. Let the women live (in "iddat) In the same style As ye live, according to your means: annoy them not, so As to restrict them. and if They carry (life In their wombs), then spend (your substance) on them until They deliver their burden: and if They suckle your (offspring), give them their recompense: and take mutual counsel together, according to what is just and reasonable. and if ye find yourselves In difficulties, let another woman suckle (the child) on the (father"s) behalf.

7. Let the man of means spend according to His means: and the man whose resources are restricted, let Him spend according to what Allah has given Him. Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given Him. after a difficulty, Allah will soon grant relief.

8. How many populations that insolently opposed the command of their Lord and of His apostles, did we not then call to account,- to severe account?- and we imposed on them an exemplary punishment.

9. Then did They taste the evil result of their conduct, and the end of their conduct was perdition.

10. Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment (in the Hereafter). Therefore fear Allah, O ye men of understanding - who have believed!- for Allah hath indeed sent down to you a Message,-

11. An Messenger, who rehearses to you the Signs of Allah Containing Clear explanations, that He may lead forth those who believe and do righteous deeds from the depths of darkness into light. and those who believe In Allah and work righteousness, He will admit to Gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for ever: Allah has indeed granted for them a Most excellent provision.

12. Allah is He who created seven firmaments and of the earth a similar number. through the midst of them (all) descends His Command: that ye may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah comprehends, all things In (His) knowledge.
