65:1

ﱁOﱂProphetﱃWhenﱄyou divorceﱅ[the] womenﱆthen divorce themﱇfor their waiting periodﱈand keep countﱉﱊ(of) the waiting periodﱋand fearﱌAllahﱍﱎyour Lordﱏ(Do) notﱐexpel themﱑfromﱒtheir housesﱓand notﱔthey should leaveﱕexceptﱖthatﱗthey commitﱘan immoralityﱙﱚclearﱛAnd theseﱜ(are the) limitsﱝﱞ(of) AllahﱟAnd whoeverﱠtransgressesﱡ(the) limitsﱢ(of) Allahﱣthen certainlyﱤhe has wrongedﱥﱦhimselfﱧNotﱨyou knowﱩPerhapsﱪAllahﱫwill bring aboutﱬafterﱭthatﱮa matterﱯ(1)

O Prophet! ˹Instruct the believers:˺ When you ˹intend to˺ divorce women, then divorce them with concern for their waiting period,1 and count it accurately. And fear Allah, your Lord. Do not force them out of their homes, nor should they leave—unless they commit a blatant misconduct. These are the limits set by Allah. And whoever transgresses Allah’s limits has truly wronged his own soul. You never know, perhaps Allah will bring about a change ˹of heart˺ later.2

65:2

ﱰThen whenﱱthey have reachedﱲtheir termﱳthen retain themﱴwith kindnessﱵorﱶpart with themﱷwith kindnessﱸAnd take witnessﱹtwo menﱺjustﱻamong youﱼand establishﱽthe testimonyﱾﱿfor AllahﲀThatﲁis instructedﲂwith itﲃwhoeverﲄ[is]ﲅbelievesﲆin Allahﲇand the Dayﲈﲉthe LastﲊAnd whoeverﲋfearsﲌAllahﲍHe will makeﲎfor himﲏa way outﲐ(2)

Then when they have ˹almost˺ reached the end of their waiting period, either retain them honourably or separate from them honourably.1 And call two of your reliable men to witness ˹either way˺—and ˹let the witnesses˺ bear true testimony for ˹the sake of˺ Allah. This is enjoined on whoever has faith in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make a way out for them,

65:3

ﲑAnd He will provide for himﲒfromﲓwhereﲔnotﲕﲖhe thinksﲗAnd whoeverﲘputs his trustﲙuponﲚAllahﲛthen Heﲜﲝ(is) sufficient for himﲞIndeedﲟAllahﲠ(will) accomplishﲡﲢHis purposeﲣIndeedﲤhas setﲥAllahﲦfor everyﲧthingﲨa measureﲩ(3)

and provide for them from sources they could never imagine. And whoever puts their trust in Allah, then He ˹alone˺ is sufficient for them. Certainly Allah achieves His Will. Allah has already set a destiny for everything.

65:4

ﲪAnd those whoﲫhave despairedﲬofﲭthe menstruationﲮamongﲯyour womenﲰifﲱyou doubtﲲthen their waiting periodﲳ(is) threeﲴmonthsﲵand the ones whoﲶnotﲷﲸ[they] menstruatedﲹAnd those who (are)ﲺpregnantﲻtheir termﲼuntilﲽthey deliverﲾﲿtheir burdensﳀAnd whoeverﳁfearsﳂAllahﳃHe will makeﳄfor himﳅofﳆhis affairﳇeaseﳈ(4)

As for your women past the age of menstruation, in case you do not know, their waiting period is three months, and those who have not menstruated as well. As for those who are pregnant, their waiting period ends with delivery.1 And whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make their matters easy for them.

65:5

ﳉThatﳊ(is the) Commandﳋ(of) Allahﳌwhich He has sent downﳍﳎto youﳏand whoeverﳐfearsﳑAllahﳒHe will removeﳓfrom himﳔhis evil deedsﳕand make greatﳖfor himﳗ(his) rewardﳘ(5)

This is the commandment of Allah, which He has revealed to you. And whoever is mindful of Allah, He will absolve them of their sins and reward them immensely.
