Qur'an, Sura 65
In the name of Allah, the
Beneficent, the Merciful.
[65.1] O Prophet! when you divorce women, divorce them for~
their prescribed time, and calculate the number of the days
prescribed, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah, your Lord.
Do not drive them out of their houses, nor should they
themselves go forth, unless they commit an open indecency; and
these are the limits of Allah, and whoever goes beyond the
limits of Allah, he indeed does injustice to his own soul. You
do not know that Allah may after that bring about reunion.
[65.2] So when they have reached their prescribed time, then
retain them with kindness or separate them with kindness, and
call to witness two men of justice from among you, and give
upright testimony for Allah. With that is admonished he who
believes in Allah and the latter day; and whoever is careful of
(his duty to) Allah, He will make for him an outlet,
[65.3] And give him sustenance from whence he thinks not; and
whoever trusts in Allah, He is sufficient for him; surely Allah
attains His purpose; Allah indeed has appointed a measure for
everything.
[65.4] And (as for) those of your women who have despaired of
menstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall
be three months, and of those too who have not had their
courses; and (as for) the pregnant women, their prescribed time
is that they lay down their burden; and whoever is careful of
(his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him his affair.
[65.5] That is the command of Allah which He has revealed to
you, and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah, He will
remove from him his evil and give him a big reward.
[65.6] Lodge them where you lodge according to your means, and
do not injure them in order that you may straiten them; and if
they are pregnant, spend on them until they lay down their
burden; then if they suckle for you, give them their recompense
and enjoin one another among you to do good; and if you
disagree, another (woman) shall suckle for him.
[65.7] Let him who has abundance spend out of his abundance and
whoever has his means of subsistence straitened to him, let him
spend out of that which Allah has given him; Allah does not lay
on any soul a burden except to the extent to which He has
granted it; Allah brings about ease after difficulty.
[65.8] And how many a town which rebelled against the
commandment of its Lord and His apostles, so We called it to
account severely and We chastised it (with) a stern
chastisement.
[65.9] So it tasted the evil result of its conduct, and the end
of its affair was perdition.
[65.10] Allah has prepared for them severe chastisement,
therefore be careful of (your duty to) Allah, O men of
understanding who believe! Allah has indeed revealed to you a
reminder,
[65.11] An Apostle who recites to you the clear communications
of Allah so that he may bring forth those who believe and do
good deeds from darkness into light; and whoever believes in
Allah and does good deeds, He will cause him to enter gardens
beneath which rivers now, to abide therein forever, Allah has
indeed given him a goodly sustenance.
[65.12] Allah is He Who created seven heavens, and of the earth
the like of them; the decree continues to descend among them,
that you may know that Allah has power over all things and that
Allah indeed encompasses all things in (His) knowledge.
