Surah At-Talaq

يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاۤءَ فَطَلِّقُوْهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَاَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ رَبَّكُمْۚ لَا تُخْرِجُوْهُنَّ مِنْۢ بُيُوْتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّأْتِيْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍۗ وَتِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ ۗوَمَنْ يَّتَعَدَّ حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهٗ ۗ لَا تَدْرِيْ لَعَلَّ اللّٰهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ اَمْرًا ۝١

Yā ayyuhan-nabiyyu iżā ṭollaqtumun-nisā-a fa ṭolliqūhunna li‘iddatihinna wa aḥṣul-‘iddah, wattaqullāha robbakum, lā tukhrijūhunna mim buyūtihinna wa lā yakhrujna illā ay ya'tīna bifāḥisyatim mubayyinah, wa tilka ḥudūdullāh, wa may yata‘adda ḥudūdallāhi faqod ẓolama nafsah, lā tadrī la‘allallāha yuḥdiṡu ba‘da żālika amrō

1. O Prophet! If any of you divorce women, divorce them during their period of purity, and calculate their term. And be pious before Allah, your Lord. And do not evict them from their homes, nor shall they leave, unless they have committed a proven adultery. These are the limits of Allah—whoever oversteps Allah’s limits has wronged his own soul. You never know; Allah may afterwards bring about a new situation.

فَاِذَا بَلَغْنَ اَجَلَهُنَّ فَاَمْسِكُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ فَارِقُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ وَّاَشْهِدُوْا ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِّنْكُمْ وَاَقِيْمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ لِلّٰهِ ۗذٰلِكُمْ يُوْعَظُ بِهٖ مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ ەۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مَخْرَجًا ۙ ۝٢

Fa iżā balaghna ajalahunna fa amsikūhunna bima‘rūfin au fāriqūhunna bima‘rūfiw wa asyhidū żawai ‘adlim minkum wa aqīmusy-syahādata lillāh, żālikum yū‘aẓu bihī man kāna yu'minu billāhi wal-yaumil-ākhir, wa may yattaqillāha yaj‘al lahū makhrojā

2. Once they have reached their term, either retain them honorably, or separate from them honorably. And call to witness two just people from among you, and give upright testimony for Allah. By that is exhorted whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever fears Allah—He will make a way out for him.

وَّيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهٗ ۗاِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَالِغُ اَمْرِهٖۗ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا ۝٣

Wa yarzuqhu min ḥaiṡu lā yaḥtasib, wa may yatawakkal ‘alallāhi fa huwa ḥasbuh, innallāha bālighu amrih, qod ja‘alallāhu likulli syai'in qodrō

3. And will provide for him from where he never expected. Whoever relies on Allah—He will suffice him. Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has set a measure to all things.

وَالّٰۤـِٔيْ يَىِٕسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيْضِ مِنْ نِّسَاۤىِٕكُمْ اِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلٰثَةُ اَشْهُرٍۙ وَّالّٰۤـِٔيْ لَمْ يَحِضْنَۗ وَاُولٰتُ الْاَحْمَالِ اَجَلُهُنَّ اَنْ يَّضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مِنْ اَمْرِهٖ يُسْرًا ۝٤

Wal-lā-ī ya'isna minal-maḥīḍi min nisā-ikum inirtabtum fa ‘iddatuhunna ṡalāṡatu asyhur, wal-lā-ī lam yaḥiḍn, wa ulātul-aḥmāli ajaluhunna ay yaḍo‘na ḥamlahunn, wa may yattaqillāha yaj‘al lahū min amrihī yusrō

4. As for those of your women who have reached menopause, if you have any doubts, their term shall be three months—and also for those who have not menstruated. As for those who are pregnant, their term shall be until they have delivered. Whoever fears Allah—He will make things easy for him.

ذٰلِكَ اَمْرُ اللّٰهِ اَنْزَلَهٗٓ اِلَيْكُمْۗ وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّاٰتِهٖ وَيُعْظِمْ لَهٗٓ اَجْرًا ۝٥

Żālika amrullāhi anzalahū ilaikum, wa may yattaqillāha yukaffir ‘anhu sayyi'ātihī wa yu‘ẓim lahū ajrō

5. This is the ordinance of Allah, which He sent down to you. Whoever fears Allah—He will remit his sins, and will amplify his reward.

اَسْكِنُوْهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنْتُمْ مِّنْ وُّجْدِكُمْ وَلَا تُضَاۤرُّوْهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُوْا عَلَيْهِنَّۗ وَاِنْ كُنَّ اُولٰتِ حَمْلٍ فَاَنْفِقُوْا عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتّٰى يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّۚ فَاِنْ اَرْضَعْنَ لَكُمْ فَاٰتُوْهُنَّ اُجُوْرَهُنَّۚ وَأْتَمِرُوْا بَيْنَكُمْ بِمَعْرُوْفٍۚ وَاِنْ تَعَاسَرْتُمْ فَسَتُرْضِعُ لَهٗٓ اُخْرٰىۗ ۝٦

Askinūhunna min ḥaiṡu sakantum miw wujdikum wa lā tuḍōrrūhunna lituḍoyyiqū ‘alaihinn, wa in kunna ulāti ḥamlin fa anfiqū ‘alaihinna ḥattā yaḍo‘na ḥamlahunn, fa in arḍo‘na lakum fa ātūhunna ujūrohunn, wa'tamirū bainakum bima‘rūf, wa in ta‘āsartum fasaturḍi‘u lahū ukhrō

6. Allow them to reside where you reside, according to your means, and do not harass them in order to make things difficult for them. If they are pregnant, spend on them until they give birth. And if they nurse your infant, give them their payment. And conduct your relation in amity. But if you disagree, then let another woman nurse him.

لِيُنْفِقْ ذُوْ سَعَةٍ مِّنْ سَعَتِهٖۗ وَمَنْ قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهٗ فَلْيُنْفِقْ مِمَّآ اٰتٰىهُ اللّٰهُ ۗ لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللّٰهُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا مَآ اٰتٰىهَاۗ سَيَجْعَلُ اللّٰهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُّسْرًا ࣖ ۝٧

Liyunfiq żū sa‘atim min sa‘atih, wa man qudiro ‘alaihi rizquhū falyunfiq mimmā ātāhullāh, lā yukallifullāhu nafsan illā mā ātāhā, sayaj‘alullāhu ba‘da ‘usriy yusrō

7. The wealthy shall spend according to his means; and he whose resources are restricted shall spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah never burdens a soul beyond what He has given it. Allah will bring ease after hardship.

وَكَاَيِّنْ مِّنْ قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ اَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهٖ فَحَاسَبْنٰهَا حِسَابًا شَدِيْدًاۙ وَّعَذَّبْنٰهَا عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا ۝٨

Wa ka'ayyim min qoryatin ‘atat ‘an amri robbihā wa rusulihī fa ḥāsabnāhā ḥisāban syadīdā, wa ‘ażżabnāhā ‘ażāban nukrō

8. How many a town defied the command of its Lord and His messengers? So We held it strictly accountable, and We punished it with a dreadful punishment.

فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ اَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ اَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا ۝٩

Fa żāqot wabāla amrihā wa kāna ‘āqibatu amrihā khusrō

9. It tasted the result of its decisions, and the outcome of its decisions was perdition.

اَعَدَّ اللّٰهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيْدًا فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ يٰٓاُولِى الْاَلْبَابِۛ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا ۛ قَدْ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ اِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْرًاۙ ۝١٠

A‘addallāhu lahum ‘ażāban syadīdan fattaqullāha yā ulil-albāb - allażīna āmanū - qod anzalallāhu ilaikum żikrō

10. Allah has prepared for them a severe retribution. So beware of Allah, O you who possess intellect and have faith. Allah has sent down to you a Reminder.

رَّسُوْلًا يَّتْلُوْا عَلَيْكُمْ اٰيٰتِ اللّٰهِ مُبَيِّنٰتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ مِنَ الظُّلُمٰتِ اِلَى النُّوْرِۗ وَمَنْ يُّؤْمِنْۢ بِاللّٰهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا يُّدْخِلْهُ جَنّٰتٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْاَنْهٰرُ خٰلِدِيْنَ فِيْهَآ اَبَدًاۗ قَدْ اَحْسَنَ اللّٰهُ لَهٗ رِزْقًا ۝١١

Rosūlay yatlū ‘alaikum āyātillāhi mubayyinātil liyukhrijal-lażīna āmanū wa ‘amiluṣ-ṣōliḥāti minaẓ-ẓulumāti ilan-nūr, wa may yu'mim billāhi wa ya‘mal ṣōliḥay yudkhilhu jannātin tajrī min taḥtihal-anhāru khōlidīna fīhā abadā, qod aḥsanallāhu lahū rizqō

11. A messenger who recites to you Allah’s Verses, clear and distinct, that he may bring those who believe and work righteousness from darkness into light. Whoever believes in Allah and acts with integrity, He will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow, therein to abide forever. Allah has given him an excellent provision.

اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمٰوٰتٍ وَّمِنَ الْاَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّۗ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْاَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ ەۙ وَّاَنَّ اللّٰهَ قَدْ اَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا ࣖ ۝١٢

Allāhul-lażī kholaqo sab‘a samāwātiw wa minal-arḍi miṡlahunn, yatanazzalul-amru bainahunna lita‘lamū annallāha ‘alā kulli syai'in qodīr, wa annallāha qod aḥāṭo bikulli syai'in ‘ilmā

12. Allah is He who created seven heavens, and their like of earth. The command descends through them, so that you may know that Allah is Capable of everything, and that Allah encompasses everything in knowledge.
