Verse 65:2 | inQuran

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

O Prophet! when you divorce women, divorce them for the prescribed period, and reckon the period; and fear Allah. Turn them not out of their houses, nor should they themselves leave unless they commit an act which is manifestly foul. And these are the limits set by Allah; and whoso transgresses the limits of Allah, he indeed wrongs his own soul. Thou knowest not; it may be that thereafter Allah will bring something new to pass.

English - Short Commentary Translation

O Prophet! [b]when you divorce women,[3064] divorce them for the prescribed period, and thereafter reckon the period; and fear Allah, your Lord. Turn them not out of their houses,[3064A] nor should they themselves leave unless they commit manifest indecency. [c]These are the limits set by Allah; and whoso transgresses the limits of Allah, he, indeed, wrongs his own soul. Thou knowest not; it may be that thereafter Allah will bring something[3065] new to pass.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اے نبی! جب تم (لوگ) اپنی بیویوں کو طلاق دیا کرو تو ان کو ان کی (طلاق کی) عدت کے مطابق طلاق دو اور عدت کا شمار رکھو اور اللہ، اپنے ربّ سے ڈرو۔ انہیں اُن کے گھروں سے نہ نکالو اور نہ وہ خود نکلیں سوائے اس کے کہ وہ کھلی کھلی بے حیائی کی مرتکب ہوئی ہوں۔ اور یہ اللہ کی حدود ہیں اور جو بھی اللہ کی حدود سے تجاوز کرے تو یقیناً اس نے اپنی جان پر ظلم کیا۔ تُو نہیں جانتا کہ شاید اس کے بعد اللہ کوئی (نیا) فیصلہ ظاہر کردے۔

French

Ô Prophète ! lorsque vous divorcez d’avec les femmes, divorcez d’avec elles selon leur période d’attente prescrite, et tenez compte de la période ; et craignez Allāh, votre Seigneur. Ne les chassez pas de leurs habitations, et elles ne doivent pas en partir d’elles-mêmes non plus, à moins qu’elles ne commettent une indécence manifeste. Et ce sont là les limites fixées par Allāh ; et quiconque transgresse les limites d’Allāh, nuit assurément à sa propre âme. Tu ne sais pas, il se peut que par la suite Allāh fasse arriver quelque chose de nouveau.

German

O Prophet! wenn ihr euch von Frauen trennt*, so trennt euch von ihnen für ihre vorgeschriebene Frist, und berechnet die Frist; und fürchtet Allah, euren Herrn. Vertreibt sie nicht aus ihren Häusern, noch sollen sie (selbst) fortgehen, es sei denn, sie begehen offenkundige Unsittlichkeit. Das sind die Schranken Allahs; und wer Allahs Schranken übertritt, der sündigt wider sich selbst. Du weißt nicht, vielleicht wird Allah späterhin etwas Neues geschehen lassen.

Chinese

先知 (和信从他的人)啊! [b]当你们与妻子离婚时要按照固定的时期与她们离婚; 要计算定期; 要敬畏安拉, 你们的养主。除非她们犯有明显的罪过, 不要从她们的住宅把她们驱逐出去,[1436]她们自己也不应当离开 (那里)。[c]这是安拉所定的法度。凡违犯安拉法度者, 他确是对自己亏损的人。你不知道, 也许安拉在这以后, 会促成 (新的) 情况。[1437]

Italian

O profeta! Quando divorziate da donne, fatelo nel periodo prescritto, e fate il computo del periodo. E temete Allah, il vostro Signore. Non cacciatele dunque dalle loro case; né esse stesse dovrebbero andarsene, a meno che non abbiano commesso un'indecenza palese. E questi sono i limiti stabiliti da Allah. E chi travalica i limiti di Allah, in verità, danneggia la propria anima. Tu non sai. Può darsi che Allah, in seguito, faccia accadere qualcosa di nuovo.

Spanish

¡Oh Profeta! Cuando divorciéis a las mujeres, divorciadlas por el período prescrito y contad el período; y temed a Al-lah uestro Señor. No las echéis de sus hogares, ni que ellas mismas los abandonen, salvo que cometan un acto manifiestamente obsceno. Éstos son los límites fijados por Al-lah; y quien transgrede los límites de Al-lah, en verdad perjudica a su propia alma. Tú no lo sabes; es posible que Al-lah, más adelante, haga que ocurra algo nuevo.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اے[1] نبی! (اور اس کے ماننے والو) جب تم بیویوں کو طلاق دو تو ان کو مقررہ [2]وقت کے مطابق طلاق دو اور (طلاق کے بعد) وقت کا اندازہ رکھو اور اللہ کا جو تمہارا رب ہے تقویٰ اختیار کرو‘ ان کو ان کے گھروں سے نہ نکالو اور نہ وہ خود نکلیں سوائے اس کے کہ وہ ایک کھلے گناہ [3]کی مرتکب ہوں۔ اور یہ اللہ کی حدیں ہیں اور جو کوئی اللہ کی حدوں کو توڑ دیتا ہے وہ اپنی جان پر ظلم کرتا ہے (اے طلاق دینے والے)! تجھے معلوم نہیں کہ شاید اللہ اس واقعہ کے بعد کچھ اور ظاہر کرے۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اے نبیؐ، جب تم لوگ عورتوں کو طلاق دو تو اُنہیں اُن کی عدت کے لیے طلاق دیا کرو اور عدت کے زمانے کا ٹھیک ٹھیک شمار کرو، اور اللہ سے ڈرو جو تمہارا رب ہے (زمانہ عدت میں) نہ تم اُنہیں اُن کے گھروں سے نکالو اور نہ وہ خود نکلیں، الا یہ کہ وہ کسی صریح برائی کی مرتکب ہوں یہ اللہ کی مقرر کردہ حدیں ہیں، اور جو کوئی اللہ کی حدوں سے تجاوز کرے گا وہ اپنے اوپر خود ظلم کرے گا تم نہیں جانتے، شاید اس کے بعد اللہ (موافقت کی) کوئی صورت پیدا کر دے

English - Sahih

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 Allah, 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] Allah. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah has certainly wronged himself. You know not; perhaps Allah will bring about after that a [different] matter.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اے نبی جب تم عورتوں کو طلاق دو تو ان کی عدت کے موقع پر طلاق دو اور عدت گنتے رہو اور الله سے ڈرتے رہو جو تمہارا رب ہے نہ تم ہی ان کو ان کے گھروں سے نکالو اور نہ وہ خود ہی نکلیں مگر جب کھلم کھلا کوئی بے حیائی کا کام کریں اور یہ الله کی حدیں ہیں اور جو الله کی حدوں سے بڑھاا تو اس نے اپنے نفس پر ظلم کیا آپ کو کیا معلوم کہ شاید الله اس کے بعد اور کوئی نئی بات پیدا کر دے

English - Talal Itani

O Prophet! When you divorce [the] women, then divorce them for their waiting period, and keep count (of) the waiting period, and fear Allah, your Lord. (Do) not expel them from their houses, and not they should leave except that they commit an immorality clear. And these (are the) limits (of) Allah. And whoever transgresses (the) limits (of) Allah then certainly he has wronged himself. Not you know; Perhaps Allah will bring about, after that, a matter.

1436

声明离婚不得在两次月经之间的时期内, 在这同时夫妻不得同房。这就保证了离婚的决定不是一时生气仓促做出的, 也不是由于其受瞬间冲动的影响, 而是经过冷静而仔细考虑做出的。此外, 离了婚的妻子在家里一直要住到待婚期 (عِدَّة, ‘Iddah) 结束为止。这个离婚程序是有法律规定的, 因为在待婚期, 不和的原因有可能消失, 隔阂的双方可能言归于好。

اَمْر (Amr) 在这里指隔阂的夫妻和解。

یعنی غصّہ کی حالت میں طلاق نہ دو۔ بلکہ ایسے طُہر میں طلاق دو جس سے پہلے صحبت نہ کی ہو۔ تاکہ سب غصہ دور ہو چکا ہو اور شہوت نے بھڑک کر محبت پیدا کر دی ہو۔ اور طلاق کی نوبت ہی نہ آئے۔

English - Arberry

O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them when they have reached their period. Count the period, and fear God your Lord. Do not expel them from their houses, nor let them go forth, except when they commit a flagrant indecency. Those are God's bounds; whosoever trespasses the bounds of God has done wrong to himself. Thou knowest not, perchance after that God will bring something new to pass.

English - Maududi

O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them for their waiting-period, and compute the waiting period accurately, and hold Allah, your Lord, in awe. Do not turn them out of their homes (during the waiting period) ‚Äì nor should they go away (from their homes) ‚Äì unless they have committed a manifestly evil deed. Such are the bounds set by Allah; and he who transgresses the bounds set by Allah commits a wrong against himself. You do not know: maybe Allah will cause something to happen to pave the way (for reconciliation).

English - Ahmed Ali

O PROPHET WHEN you divorce women, divorce them at their appointed period, and calculate that period, and fear God, your Lord. Do not expel them from their houses, nor should they go away themselves, unless they are openly guilty of adultery. These are the limits set by God. Any one who exceeds the limits set by God sins against his own self. You never know that God may perchance lead to a new situation after this.

English - Yusuf Ali

O Prophet! When ye do divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed periods, and count (accurately), their prescribed periods: And fear Allah your Lord: and turn them not out of their houses, nor shall they (themselves) leave, except in case they are guilty of some open lewdness, those are limits set by Allah: and any who transgresses the limits of Allah, does verily wrong his (own) soul: thou knowest not if perchance Allah will bring about thereafter some new situation.

Commentary:

This is one of those verses of the Quran in which the address made to the Holy Prophet, is, in reality, meant for the believers. Since the Holy Prophet was debarred from divorcing any of his wives (33:53), the injunction is meant clearly for his followers.

The procedure of divorce given in this Surah is as follows:

The first pronouncement of divorce should be in the interval between two monthly courses, during which the husband and wife should not have conjugal relations. This ensures that the decision to divorce has not been taken hastily in a fit of anger or under the influence of some other momentary impulse but after cool and deliberate reflection. Moreover, a divorced wife is to remain in her house till the expiry of ‘iddah (the period of waiting) which extends over three courses.

The words "it may be that thereafter Allah will bring about something new to pass," signify that the above-mentioned procedure is enjoined because it is possible that during the period of waiting the causes of friction may wear out and reconciliation may take place between the estranged parties.

O Prophet! When ye (men) put away women, put them away for their (legal) period and reckon the period, and keep your duty to Allah, your Lord. Expel them not from their houses nor let them go forth unless they commit open immorality. Such are the limits (imposed by) Allah; and whoso transgresseth Allah's limits, he verily wrongeth his soul. Thou knowest not: it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new thing to pass.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them for their prescribed period, and calculate the period; and keep your duty to Allah, your Lord. Turn them not 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 wrongs his own soul. Thou knowest not that Allah may after that bring about an event.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

O Prophet, when you divorce your wives, observe the period prescribed for making the divorce effective, and reckon the period, and be mindful of your duty to Allah your Lord. Turn them not out of their houses, nor should they leave their houses, during that period, unless they are guilty of manifest indecency. These are the limits set by Allah. Whoso transgresses the limits set by Allah wrongs himself. The period is prescribed as you do not know .that Allah may bring about something new.
