- 1. يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ ۖ لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ ۚ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ ۚ لَا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ أَمْرًا
- 2. فَإِذَا بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ وَأَقِيمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ يُوعَظُ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ۚ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجًا
- 3. وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا
- 4. وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِنْ نِسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ ۚ وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَنْ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ ۚ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا
- 5. ذَٰلِكَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ أَنْزَلَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ۚ وَمَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ وَيُعْظِمْ لَهُ أَجْرًا
- 6. أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنْتُمْ مِنْ وُجْدِكُمْ وَلَا تُضَارُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ ۚ وَإِنْ كُنَّ أُولَاتِ حَمْلٍ فَأَنْفِقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ ۚ فَإِنْ أَرْضَعْنَ لَكُمْ فَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ ۖ وَأْتَمِرُوا بَيْنَكُمْ بِمَعْرُوفٍ ۖ وَإِنْ تَعَاسَرْتُمْ فَسَتُرْضِعُ لَهُ أُخْرَىٰ
- 7. لِيُنْفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِنْ سَعَتِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ فَلْيُنْفِقْ مِمَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ ۚ لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا مَا آتَاهَا ۚ سَيَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا
- 8. وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ فَحَاسَبْنَاهَا حِسَابًا شَدِيدًا وَعَذَّبْنَاهَا عَذَابًا نُكْرًا
- 9. فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا
- 10. أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۖ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يَا أُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۚ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْرًا
- 11. رَسُولًا يَتْلُو عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ مُبَيِّنَاتٍ لِيُخْرِجَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ ۚ وَمَنْ يُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ۖ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ لَهُ رِزْقًا
- 12. اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا

65. SURAH AL-TALAAQ (THE DIVORCE)
(This Surah is Madani, containing 12 verses and 2 sections)
Allah’s Name to commence with, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
65:1.
Yaaa ayyuhan Nabiyyu izaa tallaqtumun nisaaa’a fatalliqoo hunna li’iddatihinna wa ahsul ‘iddah; wattaqul laaha rabbakum; laa tukhrijoohunna min buyootihinna wa laa yakhrujna illaaa any yaatina bifaa hishatim mubaiyinah; wa tilka hudoodul laah; wa many yata’adda hudoodal laahi faqad zalama nafsa; laa tadree la’alla laaha yuhdisu ba’da zaalika amraa.
O (Beloved) Prophet! (Tell the believers) when you people divorce women, so divorce them (when they are in the state of purity, with one divorce) at (the start of) their prescribed period, and keep (an accurate) calculation of their ‘Iddah (i.e., waiting period). And (O Muslims) fear Allah, your Lord. Do not banish them from their (husband’s) homes, nor should they leave themselves during the ‘Iddah period unless they commit any open indecency (i.e., fornication, or theft, etc.). And these are the limits of Allah, and whoever transgresses the limits of Allah has wronged himself. You do not know; maybe Allah will send a new command afterward (so that you may take her back if that was the first or second divorce).
65:2.
Fa izaa balaghna ajalahunna fa amsikoohunna bima’roofin aw faarikoo hunna bima’roof; wa ashhidoo zawai ‘adlim minkum wa aqeemush shahaadatalillaah; zaalikum yoo’azu bihee man kaana yu’minu billaahi wal yawmil aakhir; wa many yattaqil laaha yaj’al lahoo makhrajaa.
Hence, when they are about to reach their appointed term (nearing completion of ‘Iddah), hold them back with kindness or separate from them with kindness, and make two credible men amongst you as witnesses, and establish testimony for the sake of Allah. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day is advised with this. Whoever fears Allah, Allah will create for him a way of salvation.
65:3.
Wa yarzuqhu min haisu laa yahtasib; wa many yatawakkal ‘alal laahi fahuwa hasbuh; innal laaha baalighu amrih; qad ja’alal laahu likulli shai’in qadr.
And (Allah) will provide him sustenance from where he could not (even) imagine. And whoever relies upon Allah, He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah is to complete His task; indeed, Allah has set a proper measure for all things.
65:4.
Wallaaa’ee ya’isna minal mahze min nisaaa’ikum inirtabtum fa’iddatuhunna salaasatu ashhurinw wawal laaa’ee lam yahidn; wa ulatul ahmaali ajaluhunna any yada’na hamlahun; wa many yattaqil laaha yaj’al lahoo min amrihee yusraa.
For those women who have no hope of menstruation, if you have any doubt (about their waiting period), their ‘Iddah is three (lunar) months, and (three lunar months is) also for those who have not yet menstruated. The appointed period for pregnant women is until they deliver their burden (i.e., give birth). Whoever fears Allah, Allah will create ease for him in his affair.
65:5.
Zaalika amrul laahi anzalahoo ilaikum; wa many yattaqil laaha yukaffir ‘anhu saiyi aatihee wa yu’zim lahoo ajraa.
This is Allah’s command, which He has sent down to you. Whoever fears Allah, Allah will erase his sins and bestow upon him a great reward.
65:6.
Askinoohunna min haisu sakantum min wujdikum wa laa tudaaarroohunna litudaiyiqoo ‘alaihinna; wa in kunna ulaata hamlin fa anfiqoo ‘alaihinna hattaa yada’na hamlahun; fa in arda’na lakum fa aatoohunna ujoorahunna wa atamiroo bainakum bima’roof; wa in ta’aasartum fa satairdi’u lahoo ukhraa.
House the women (in ‘Iddah) where you reside, according to your means, and do not harass them to make it difficult for them. If they are pregnant, give them provision until their child is born. If they suckle the child for you, pay them its due compensation, and consult with each other reasonably. If you mutually find it difficult, another (woman) may be found to suckle the child.
65:7.
Liyunfiq zoo sa’atin min sa’atih; wa many qudira ‘alaihi rizquhoo falyunfiq mimmaaa aataahul laah; laa yukalliful laahu nafsan illaa maa aataahaa; sa yaj’alul laahu ba’da ‘usrin yusraa.
The one who is capable should provide according to his means. The one whose sustenance is restricted should give provisions from what Allah has given him. Allah does not burden any soul except according to what He has given it. It is close that Allah, after hardship, will give ease.
65:8.
Wa ka ayyim min qaryatin ‘atat ‘amri rabbihaa wa Rusulihee fahaasabnaa haa hisaaban shadeedanw wa ‘azzabnaa haa ‘azaaban nukraa.
Many a town rebelled against the command of their Lord and His Messengers, so We took severe account from them and inflicted upon them a horrible punishment.
65:9.
Fazaaqat wabaala amrihaa wa kaana ‘aaqibatu amrihaa khusraa.
They tasted the evil result of their deeds, and the outcome of their deeds was nothing but loss.
65:10.
A’addal laahu lahum ‘azaaban shadeedanfattaqul laaha yaaa ulil albaabil lazeena aamanoo; qad anzalal laahu ilaikum zikraa.
Allah has kept ready a severe punishment for them. Therefore, fear Allah, O men of intellect who believe. Indeed, Allah has sent down honor for you.
65:11.
Rasoolan yatloo ‘alaikum Aayaatil laahi mubaiyinaati liyukhrijal lazeena aamanoo wa ‘amilus saalihaati mina zulumaat ilan noor; wa many yu’min billaahi wa ya’mal saalihan yudkhilhu jannaatin tajree min tahtihal anhaaru khaalideena feehaaa abadaa; qad ahsanal laahu lahoo rizqaa.
(Allah sent) that Messenger who recites the clear verses of Allah to you so that he may take those who accept faith and do good deeds away from the darkness into the light. Whoever believes in Allah and does good deeds, He will admit him into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein forever. Indeed, Allah has kept an excellent sustenance for him.
65:12.
Allaahul lazee khalaqa sab’a samaawaatinw wa minal ardi mislahunna yatanazzalul amru baina hunna lita’lamooo annal laaha ‘alaa kulli shai’in qadeerunw wa annal laaha qad ahaata bikulli shai’in ‘ilmaa.
It is Allah Who has created the seven heavens and the same number of earths. The command descends within them so that you may come to know that Allah can do all things and that Allah’s knowledge encompasses everything.
65. SURAH AL-TALAAQ (THE
DIVORCE)
(This Surah is Madani, containing
12 verses and 2 sections)
Allah’s Name to commence
with, the Most Gracious, the
Most Merciful.
65:1. O (Beloved) Prophet! (Tell
the believers) when you people
divorce women, so divorce them
(when they are in the state of
purity, with one divorce) at (the
start of) their prescribed period,
and keep (an accurate) calculation
of their ‘TIddah (ie. waiting
period). And (O Muslims) fear
Allah, your Lord, Do not banish
them from their (husband’s)
homes, nor should they leave
themselves during the ‘Tddah
period umless this that they
commit any open indecency (ie.
fornication, or theft, etc.). And
these are the limits of Allah; and
whoever transgresses the limits of
Allah, indeed he has done wrong
to himself. You do not know,
maybe Allah will send a new
command afterwards (so that you
may take her back if that was the
first or second divorce).
65:2. Hence, when they are
about to reach their appointed
term (nearing completion of
“Iddah), so hold them back with
kindness or separate from them
with kindness, and make two
credible men amongst you as
witnesses, and establish
testimony for the sake of Allah;
whosoever believes in Allah
and the Last Day, he is advised
with this; and whosoever fears
Allah, Allah will create for him
a way of salvation.
65:3. And (Allah) will provide
him sustenance from where he
could not (even) imagine; and
whoever relies upon Allah, so
He is Sufficient for him; indeed,
Allah is to complete His task;
indeed, Allah has set a proper
measure for all things.
65:4. And for those of your
women who have no hope of
menstruation, if you have any
doubt (about the ruling of their
waiting period), so their ‘Tddah is
three (lunar) months, and (three
lunar months is) also for those
who have not yet had
menstruation; and the appointed
period for the pregnant women is
this that they deliver their burden
(ie. give birth). And whoever
fears Allah, Allah will create ease
65:5. This is Allah’s command
which He has sent down
towards you; and whosoever
fears Allah, Allah will erase his
sins and bestow upon him
great reward.
65:6. House the women (in
Iddah) where you reside,
according to your means, and
do not harass them to make it
difficult for them; and if they
are pregnant, so give them
provision till their child is born;
then if they suckle the child for
you, so pay them its due
compensation; and consult with
each other in a reasonable
manner; and if you mutually
find it difficult, so it is likely
that another (woman) may be
found to suckle him.
65:7. The one who is capable
should provide according to his
means; and the one whose
sustenance is restricted upon
him, he should give provisions
from what Allah has given him;
Allah does not burden any soul
except according to what He
has given it; it is close that
Allah, after hardship, will give
ease.
65:8. And (the people of) many a
town rebelled against the
command of their Lord and His
Messengers; so, We took severe
account from. them and. i
them with a horrible punishment.
65:9. They therefore tasted the
evil result of their doing; and
the outcome of their doing was
(only) loss.
65:10. Allah has kept ready a
severe punishment for them,
therefore fear Allah, O men of
intellect! Those who believed;
indeed, Allah has sent down
honour for you.
65:11. (Allah sent) that
Messenger who recites the clear
verses of Allah to you, so that
he may take those who accept
faith and do good deeds away
from the darknesses towards
the light; and whosoever
believes in Allah and does good
deeds, He will admit him into
Gardens beneath which rivers
flow; abiding in them forever
and ever; indeed, Allah has
kept an excellent sustenance for
him.
65:12, It is Allah Who has
created the seven heavens and
the same number of earths as
them; the command descends
within them so that you may
come to know that Allah can do
all things and Allah’s knowledge
encompasses everything.
