ٱلْعِدَّةَ ۖ(of) the waiting period

أَمْرًۭاa matter
1

O Prophet, when you [Muslims] divorce women, divorce them for [the commencement of] their waiting period and keep count of the waiting period, and fear Allāh, your Lord. Do not turn them out of their [husbands'] houses, nor should they [themselves] leave [during that period] unless they are committing a clear immorality. And those are the limits [set by] Allāh. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allāh has certainly wronged himself. You know not; perhaps Allāh will bring about after that a [different] matter.

2
فَإِذَاThen when
بَلَغْنَthey have reached
أَجَلَهُنَّtheir term
فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّthen retain them
بِمَعْرُوفٍwith kindness

يَتَّقِfears
ٱللَّهَAllah
يَجْعَلHe will make
لَّهُۥfor him
مَخْرَجًۭاa way out
2

And when they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or part with them according to acceptable terms. And bring to witness two just men from among you and establish the testimony for [the acceptance of] Allāh. That is instructed to whoever should believe in Allāh and the Last Day. And whoever fears Allāh - He will make for him a way out

3
وَيَرْزُقْهُAnd He will provide for him
مِنْfrom
حَيْثُwhere

قَدْIndeed
جَعَلَhas set
ٱللَّهُAllah
لِكُلِّfor every
شَىْءٍۢthing
قَدْرًۭاa measure
3

And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allāh - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allāh will accomplish His purpose. Allāh has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.

4
وَٱلَّـٰٓـِٔىAnd those who
يَئِسْنَhave despaired
مِنَof
ٱلْمَحِيضِthe menstruation
مِنamong
نِّسَآئِكُمْyour women
إِنِif
ٱرْتَبْتُمْyou doubt
فَعِدَّتُهُنَّthen their waiting period
ثَلَـٰثَةُ(is) three
أَشْهُرٍۢmonths
وَٱلَّـٰٓـِٔىand the ones who
لَمْnot

وَأُو۟لَـٰتُAnd those who (are)

ٱللَّهَAllah

لَّهُۥfor him
مِنْof
أَمْرِهِۦhis affair
يُسْرًۭاease
4

And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women - if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated. And for those who are pregnant, their term is until they give birth. And whoever fears Allāh - He will make for him of his matter ease.

5
ذَٰلِكَThat
أَمْرُ(is the) Command
ٱللَّهِ(of) Allah
أَنزَلَهُۥٓwhich He has sent down
إِلَيْكُمْ ۚto you

عَنْهُfrom him
سَيِّـَٔاتِهِۦhis evil deeds
وَيُعْظِمْand make great
لَهُۥٓfor him
أَجْرًا(his) reward
5

That is the command of Allāh, which He has sent down to you; and whoever fears Allāh - He will remove for him his misdeeds and make great for him his reward.

6
أَسْكِنُوهُنَّLodge them
مِنْfrom
حَيْثُwhere
سَكَنتُمyou dwell
مِّن(out) of
وُجْدِكُمْyour means
وَلَاand (do) not
تُضَآرُّوهُنَّharm them
لِتُضَيِّقُوا۟to distress
عَلَيْهِنَّ ۚ[on] them
وَإِنAnd if
كُنَّthey are
أُو۟لَـٰتِthose (who are)
حَمْلٍۢpregnant
فَأَنفِقُوا۟then spend
عَلَيْهِنَّon them
حَتَّىٰuntil
يَضَعْنَthey deliver
حَمْلَهُنَّ ۚtheir burden
فَإِنْThen if
أَرْضَعْنَthey suckle
لَكُمْfor you
فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّthen give them
أُجُورَهُنَّ ۖtheir payment
وَأْتَمِرُوا۟and consult
بَيْنَكُمamong yourselves
بِمَعْرُوفٍۢ ۖwith kindness
وَإِنbut if
تَعَاسَرْتُمْyou disagree
فَسَتُرْضِعُthen may suckle
لَهُۥٓfor him
أُخْرَىٰanother (women)
6

Lodge them [in a section] of where you dwell out of your means and do not harm them in order to oppress them. And if they should be pregnant, then spend on them until they give birth. And if they breastfeed for you, then give them their payment and confer among yourselves in the acceptable way; but if you are in discord, then there may breastfeed for him [i.e., the father] another woman.

7
لِيُنفِقْLet spend

ٱللَّهُAllah
بَعْدَafter
عُسْرٍۢhardship
يُسْرًۭاease
7

Let a man of wealth spend from his wealth, and he whose provision is restricted - let him spend from what Allāh has given him. Allāh does not charge a soul except [according to] what He has given it. Allāh will bring about, after hardship, ease [i.e., relief].

And how many a city was insolent toward the command of its Lord and His messengers, so We took it to severe account and punished it with a terrible punishment.

[He sent] a Messenger [i.e., Muḥammad (ﷺ)] reciting to you the distinct verses of Allāh that He may bring out those who believe and do righteous deeds from darknesses into the light. And whoever believes in Allāh and does righteousness - He will admit him into gardens beneath which rivers flow to abide therein forever. Allāh will have perfected for him a provision.
