Not

will take you to task

Allah

for (what is) unintentional

in

your oaths

[and] but

He takes you to task

for what

(have) earned

your hearts

And Allah

(is) Oft-Forgiving

Most Forbearing

For those who

swear (off)

from

their wives

(is a) waiting (of)

four

months

then if

they return

then indeed

Allah

(is) Oft-Forgiving

Most Merciful

And if

they resolve

(on) [the] divorce

then indeed

Allah

(is) All-Hearing

All-Knowing

And the women who are divorced

shall wait

concerning themselves

(for) three

monthly periods

And (it is) not

lawful

for them

that

they conceal

what

(has been) created

(by) Allah

in

their wombs

if

they

believe

in Allah

and the Day

[the] Last

And their husbands

(have) better right

to take them back

in

that (period)

if

they wish

(for) reconciliation

And for them

(is the) like

(of) that which

(is) on them

in a reasonable manner

and for the men

over them

(is) a degree

And Allah

(is) All-Mighty

All-Wise

The divorce

(is) twice

Then to retain

in a reasonable manner

or

to release (her)

with kindness

And (it is) not

lawful

for you

that

you take (back)

whatever

you have given them

anything

except

if

both fear

that not

they both (can) keep

(the) limits

(of) Allah

But if

you fear

that not

they both (can) keep

(the) limits

(of) Allah

then (there is) no

sin

on both of them

in what

she ransoms

concerning it

These

(are the) limits

(of) Allah

so (do) not

transgress them

And whoever

transgresses

(the) limits

(of) Allah

then those

they

(are) the wrongdoers

Then if

he divorces her

then (she is) not

lawful

for him

from

after (that)

until

she marries

a spouse

other than him

Then if

he divorces her

then no

sin

on them

if

they return to each other

if

they believe

that

they (will be able to) keep

(the) limits

(of) Allah

And these

(are the) limits

(of) Allah

He makes them clear

to a people

who know
