Alttalaqu marratani fa-imsakun bimaAAroofin aw tasreehun bi-ihsanin wala yahillu lakum an ta/khuthoo mimma ataytumoohunna shay-an illa an yakhafa alla yuqeema hudooda Allahi fa-in khiftum alla yuqeema hudooda Allahi fala junaha AAalayhima feema iftadat bihi tilka hudoodu Allahi fala taAAtadooha waman yataAAadda hudooda Allahi faola-ika humu alththalimoona\n229. A divorce is only\n Permissible twice: after that,\n The parties should either hold\n Together on equitable terms,\n Or separate with kindness.\n It is not lawful for you,\n (Men), to take back\n Any of your gifts (from your wives)\n Except when both parties\n Fear that they would be\n Unable to keep the limits\nOrdained by God.\n If ye (judges) do indeed\n Fear that they would be\n Unable to keep the limits\n Ordained by God,\n There is no blame on either\n Of them if she give\n Something for her freedom.\n These are the limits\n Ordained by God;\n So do not transgress them\n If any do transgress\n The limits ordained by God,\n Such persons wrong\n (Themselves as well as others).\n230. Fa-in tallaqaha fala tahillu lahu min baAAdu hatta tankiha zawjan ghayrahu fa-in tallaqaha fala junaha AAalayhima an yatarajaAAa in thanna an yuqeema hudooda Allahi watilka hudoodu Allahi yubayyinuha liqawmin yaAAlamoona\n230. So if a husband\n Divorces his wife (irrevocably),\n He cannot, after that,\n Re-marry her until\n After she has married\n Another husband and\n He has divorced her.\n In that case there is\n No blame on either of them\n If they re-unite, provided\n They feel that they\n Can keep the limits\n Ordained by God.\n Such are the limits\n Ordained by God,\n Which He makes plain\n To those who understand.\n231. Wa-itha tallaqtumu alnnisaa fabalaghna ajalahunna faamsikoohunna bimaAAroofin aw sarrihoohunna bimaAAroofin wala tumsikoohunna diraran litaAAtadoo waman yafAAal thalika faqad thalama nafsahu wala tattakhithoo ayati Allahi huzuwan waothkuroo niAAmata Allahi AAalaykum wama anzala AAalaykum mina alkitabi waalhikmati yaAAithukum bihi waittaqoo Allaha waiAAlamoo anna Allaha bikulli shay-in AAaleemun\n231. When ye divorce\n Women, and they fulfil\nThe term of their (\u2019Iddat),\n Either take them back\n On equitable terms\n Or set them free\n On equitable terms;\n But do not take them back\n To injure them, (or) to take\n Undue advantage;\n If any one does that,\n He wrongs his own soul.\n Do not treat God's Signs\n As a jest,\n But solemnly rehearse\n God's favours on you,\n And the fact that He\n Sent down to you\n The Book\n And Wisdom,\n For your instruction.\n And fear God,\n And know that God\n Is well acquainted\n With all things.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra II.: Baqara, or the Heifer.: Section 29 (229-231)","type":"page"}
