S 65 (99) Al-Talaq

1 Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them for their ‘iddah and enumerate the ‘iddah and fear Allah your lord. Do not expel them from their houses nor should they leave except that they commit obvious fahishah. And those are Allah’s hudud. And he who transgresses Allah’s hudud, he has wronged himself. You do not know; perhaps Allah produces another matter after that. 2 Then when they have reached their term detain them with kindness or abandon them with kindness. And call two just men among you as witnesses and establish the testimony to Lah. That is instructed therewith, he who was believing in Allah and the last day. And he who fears Allah, he makes him an exit. 3 And he provides him whence he does not think. And he who puts trust in Allah, he is his sufficiency. Allah reaches his matter. Allah has made an estimation for everything. 4 And those who have despaired of menstruation of your women, if you doubt then their ‘iddah is three months and those who have not menstruated, and the pregnant, their term is until they place their burden. And he who fears Allah, he makes for him ease of his affair. 5 That is Allah’s command which he has sent down to you. And he who fears Allah, he atones for him his evil deeds and makes his wage great for him. 6 Settle them from where you have dwelt from your subsistence and do not harm them to straiten them. And if they are pregnant spend on them until they lay their burden. Then if they suckle for you give them their wages and deliberate among yourselves with kindness. But if you disagree then another will suckle for him. 7 Let a man of ample means spend from his ampleness, and he whose provision has been estimated upon him, let him spend from what Allah has given him. Allah does not make difficulties for a soul except what he has given it. Allah will make ease after destitution. 8 And how many of a village sinned against its lord’s and his messengers’ command and we called it to a severe account? And we tortured it abominably. 9 So it tasted the evil consequence of its affair and the result of its affair was loss. 10 Allah has prepared severe torture for them. So fear Allah, possessors of albab, those who have believed. Allah has sent down to you a dhikr. 11 A messenger reading to you Allah’s clarifying verses that he may bring out those who have believed and have done the righteous deeds out of the darknesses into the light. And he who believes in Allah and does a righteous deed, he admits him to jannat, rivers running beneath them, abiding therein forever. Allah has done good for him in provision. 12 Allah is the one who created seven skies and of the Earth the like of them. The affair descends between them that you may know that Allah is mighty over everything. And that Allah has surrounded everything in knowledge.
