Divorce

By the Name

God

the Fount-of-All-Mercy
the Ever-Merciful

O Newsbringer

when any of you
divorce women

divorce them
when they have reached
their period of purity

count the time carefully

and be Mindful of God
your Liege

do not make them
leave their houses

nor should they leave
unless they do something
obviously not proper

those are God's limits

whoever goes
beyond God's limits
they have done wrong
to themselves

you do not know
perhaps after that
God will make
something new happen

then

when they have reached
the end of
their waiting time

keep them with honour
or part from them
with honour

and call in two just witness
from your people

and the witnessing
should be made
before God

this is a warning
to whoever believes
in God and the Last Day

and whoever is
Mindful of God
Hu will give them
a way out

Hu will provide for them
from where
they had not imagined

and whoever puts their trust
in God
Hu will be enough for them

God always gets Hu's Way

God has given
a measure
to everything

as for those women
who no longer have periods
their waiting time
shall be three months

as with those who have not
had periods yet

as for those who are pregnant
their time is
when they give birth

whoever is
Mindful of God
by Hu's command
is given ease

that is God's command
that Hu has sent down to you

and whoever is
Mindful of God
Hu will wipe away
their evil deeds

and Hu will give them
a mighty reward

let them live
where you live
as much as
you can afford

and do not
put pressure on them
to make things hard for them

if they are pregnant
provide for them
until they give birth

if they suckle the baby
give them their wages

and talk together
with honour

but if you make things
difficult for one another
another woman
should do the suckling

those who have plenty
should spend from their plenty

but let those who are
provided with less
spend from what
God has given them

God does not
burden anyone
beyond
what Hu has given them

after difficulty

God will bring
ease

how many a city
turned in scorn

from the command of
its Liege
and Hu's Messengers

then We made for it
a harsh reckoning

and punished it
with a terrible punishment

so they tasted
the evil results
of what they did

and at the end of it
was loss

God prepared for them
a terrible punishment

so be Mindful of God
those of you with minds

you who believe

God has sent down to you
as a reminder

a Messenger telling you
the Signs of God

Clear Signs

so Hu can bring out
those who believe
and do good deeds

from the shadows
into the light

whoever believes in God
and does what is right

Hu will let them enter
gardens
beneath which rivers flow

in them they shall live for ever

God has made for them
a good providing

God created seven heavens

and of the earth
the same as them

the Command
coming down
through them all

so you may know that
God has power
over everything

and that God
surrounds everything
in knowledge
