And when

you divorce

the women

and they reach

their (waiting) term

then retain them

in a fair manner

or

release them

in a fair manner

And (do) not

retain them

(to) hurt

so that you transgress

And whoever

does

that

then indeed

he wronged

himself

And (do) not

take

(the) Verses

(of) Allah

(in) jest

and remember

(the) Favors

(of) Allah

upon you

and what

(is) revealed

to you

of

the Book

and [the] wisdom

He instructs you

with it

And fear

Allah

and know

that

Allah (is)

of every

thing

All-Knower

And when

you divorce

[the] women

and they reached

their (waiting) term

then (do) not

hinder them

[that]

(from) marrying

their husbands

when

they agree

between themselves

in a fair manner

That

is admonished

with it

whoever

[is]

among you

believes

in Allah

and the Day

[the] Last

that

(is) more virtuous

for you

and more purer

And Allah

knows

and you

(do) not

know

And the mothers

shall suckle

their children

(for) two years

complete

for whoever

wishes

to

complete

the suckling

And upon

the father

(on) him

(is) their provision

and their clothing

in a fair manner

Not

is burdened

any soul

except

its capacity

Not

made to suffer

(the) mother

because of her child

and not

(the) father

(be)

because of his child

And on

the (father's) heir

(is a duty) like

that (of the father)

Then if

they both desire

weaning

through

mutual consent

of both of them

and consultation

then no

blame

on both of them

And if

you want

to

ask another women to suckle

your child

then (there is) no

blame

on you

when

you pay

what

you give

in a fair manner

And fear

Allah

and know

that

Allah

of what

you do

(is) All-Seer
