Read Surah Al-Baqara

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

وَ اِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ فَبَلَغْنَ اَجَلَهُنَّ فَاَمْسِكُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ سَرِّحُوْهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ ۪ وَّ لَا تُمْسِكُوْهُنَّ ضِرَارًا لِّتَعْتَدُوْا ۚ وَ مَنْ یَّفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهٗ ؕ وَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوْۤا اٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ هُزُوًا ؗ وَّ اذْكُرُوْا نِعْمَتَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْكُمْ وَ مَاۤ اَنْزَلَ عَلَیْكُمْ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ وَ الْحِكْمَةِ یَعِظُكُمْ بِهٖ ؕ وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِكُلِّ شَیْءٍ عَلِیْمٌ۠۝۲۳۱

When you have divorced your wives, and they have reached the end of the period of waiting, then keep them honourably (by revoking the divorce), or let them go with honour, and do not detain them with the intent of harassing lest you should transgress. He who does so will wrong himself. Do not mock the decrees of God, and remember the favours God has bestowed on you, and revealed to you the Book and the Law to warn you of the consequences of doing wrong. Have fear of God, and remember, God is cognisant of everything.

وَ اِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ فَبَلَغْنَ اَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعْضُلُوْهُنَّ اَنْ یَّنْكِحْنَ اَزْوَاجَهُنَّ اِذَا تَرَاضَوْا بَیْنَهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ؕ ذٰلِكَ یُوْعَظُ بِهٖ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ یُؤْمِنُ بِاللّٰهِ وَ الْیَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ ؕ ذٰلِكُمْ اَزْكٰی لَكُمْ وَ اَطْهَرُ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ یَعْلَمُ وَ اَنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۲۳۲

When you have divorced your wives and they have completed the fixed term (of waiting), do not stop them from marrying other men if it is agreed between them honourably. This warning is for those among you who believe in God and the Last Day. This is both proper and right for you, for God knows and you do not know.

وَ الْوَالِدٰتُ یُرْضِعْنَ اَوْلَادَهُنَّ حَوْلَیْنِ كَامِلَیْنِ لِمَنْ اَرَادَ اَنْ یُّتِمَّ الرَّضَاعَةَ ؕ وَ عَلَی الْمَوْلُوْدِ لَهٗ رِزْقُهُنَّ وَ كِسْوَتُهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ؕ لَا تُكَلَّفُ نَفْسٌ اِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَا تُضَآرَّ وَالِدَةٌۢ بِوَلَدِهَا وَ لَا مَوْلُوْدٌ لَّهٗ بِوَلَدِهٖ ۗ وَ عَلَی الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذٰلِكَ ۚ فَاِنْ اَرَادَا فِصَالًا عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِّنْهُمَا وَ تَشَاوُرٍ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْهِمَا ؕ وَ اِنْ اَرَدْتُّمْ اَنْ تَسْتَرْضِعُوْۤا اَوْلَادَكُمْ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِذَا سَلَّمْتُمْ مَّاۤ اٰتَیْتُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ؕ وَ اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ۝۲۳۳

The mothers should suckle their babies for a period of two years for those (fathers) who wish that they should complete the suckling, in which case they should feed them and clothe them in a befitting way; but no soul should be compelled beyond capacity, neither the mother made to suffer for the child nor the father for his offspring. The same holds good for the heir of the father (if he dies). If they wish to wean the child by mutual consent there is no harm. And if you wish to engage a wet nurse you may do so if you pay her an agreed amount as is customary. But fear God, and remember that God sees all that you do.

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَ یَذَرُوْنَ اَزْوَاجًا یَّتَرَبَّصْنَ بِاَنْفُسِهِنَّ اَرْبَعَةَ اَشْهُرٍ وَّ عَشْرًا ۚ فَاِذَا بَلَغْنَ اَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِیْمَا فَعَلْنَ فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ خَبِیْرٌ۝۲۳۴

Wives of men who die among you should wait (after their husbands death) for four months and ten days; and when the term is over there is no sin if they do what they like with themselves honourably, for God is aware of all that you do.

وَ لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِیْمَا عَرَّضْتُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ خِطْبَةِ النِّسَآءِ اَوْ اَكْنَنْتُمْ فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِكُمْ ؕ عَلِمَ اللّٰهُ اَنَّكُمْ سَتَذْكُرُوْنَهُنَّ وَ لٰكِنْ لَّا تُوَاعِدُوْهُنَّ سِرًّا اِلَّاۤ اَنْ تَقُوْلُوْا قَوْلًا مَّعْرُوْفًا ؕ۬ وَ لَا تَعْزِمُوْا عُقْدَةَ النِّكَاحِ حَتّٰی یَبْلُغَ الْكِتٰبُ اَجَلَهٗ ؕ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ یَعْلَمُ مَا فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِكُمْ فَاحْذَرُوْهُ ۚ وَ اعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ حَلِیْمٌ۠۝۲۳۵

There is no harm in proposing in secret to (any of) these women, or keeping the intention to yourself: God is aware that you will keep them in mind. Yet do not make a promise in secret, unless you speak in a manner that is proper; and do not resolve upon marriage till the fixed term of waiting is over. Remember that God knows what is in your hearts; so be fearful of Him, and remember that God is forgiving and forbearing.

لَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ اِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَآءَ مَا لَمْ تَمَسُّوْهُنَّ اَوْ تَفْرِضُوْا لَهُنَّ فَرِیْضَةً ۖۚ وَّ مَتِّعُوْهُنَّ ۚ عَلَی الْمُوْسِعِ قَدَرُهٗ وَ عَلَی الْمُقْتِرِ قَدَرُهٗ ۚ مَتَاعًۢا بِالْمَعْرُوْفِ ۚ حَقًّا عَلَی الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ۝۲۳۶

There is no sin in divorcing your wives before the consummation of marriage or settling the dowry; but then provide adequately for them, the affluent according to their means, the poor in accordance with theirs as is befitting. This is surely the duty of those who do good.

وَ اِنْ طَلَّقْتُمُوْهُنَّ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ تَمَسُّوْهُنَّ وَ قَدْ فَرَضْتُمْ لَهُنَّ فَرِیْضَةً فَنِصْفُ مَا فَرَضْتُمْ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّعْفُوْنَ اَوْ یَعْفُوَا الَّذِیْ بِیَدِهٖ عُقْدَةُ النِّكَاحِ ؕ وَ اَنْ تَعْفُوْۤا اَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوٰی ؕ وَ لَا تَنْسَوُا الْفَضْلَ بَیْنَكُمْ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ۝۲۳۷

And if you divorce them before the consummation of marriage, but after settling the dowry, then half the settled dowry must be paid, unless the woman forgoes it, or the person who holds the bond of marriage pays the full amount. And if the man pays the whole, it is nearer to piety. But do not forget to be good to each other, and remember that God sees all that you do.

حٰفِظُوْا عَلَی الصَّلَوٰتِ وَ الصَّلٰوةِ الْوُسْطٰی ۗ وَ قُوْمُوْا لِلّٰهِ قٰنِتِیْنَ۝۲۳۸

Be wakeful of your service of prayer, and the midmost service; and honour God by standing before Him in devotion.

فَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ فَرِجَالًا اَوْ رُكْبَانًا ۚ فَاِذَاۤ اَمِنْتُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا اللّٰهَ كَمَا عَلَّمَكُمْ مَّا لَمْ تَكُوْنُوْا تَعْلَمُوْنَ۝۲۳۹

If you fear (war or danger), pray while standing or on horseback; but when you have safety again remember God, for He taught you what you did not know.

وَ الَّذِیْنَ یُتَوَفَّوْنَ مِنْكُمْ وَ یَذَرُوْنَ اَزْوَاجًا ۖۚ وَّصِیَّةً لِّاَزْوَاجِهِمْ مَّتَاعًا اِلَی الْحَوْلِ غَیْرَ اِخْرَاجٍ ۚ فَاِنْ خَرَجْنَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیْكُمْ فِیْ مَا فَعَلْنَ فِیْۤ اَنْفُسِهِنَّ مِنْ مَّعْرُوْفٍ ؕ وَ اللّٰهُ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ۝۲۴۰

Those among you about to die leaving wives behind, should bequeath a year´s maintenance and lodging for them, without expelling them from home. But if they leave (of their own accord), you will not be blamed for what they do with themselves in their own rights. God is all-mighty and all-wise.
