65:1  O messenger, when you divorce women, divorce them at their prescribed periods, and count accurately their prescribed periods, and be conscious of God, your Lord, and do not turn them out of their houses, nor should they leave, except in case they are guilty of some open lewdness, those are limits set by God, and any who transgress the limits of God, indeed wrongs his soul. You do not know if God will bring about thereafter some new situation

65:2  So when they fulfill their term appointed, either take them back on fair terms or part with them on fair terms, and take for witness two people from among you, endued with justice, and establish the evidence before God. Such is the advice given to him who believes in God and the Last Day, and for those who are conscious of God, He prepares a way out

65:3  And He provides for him from sources he never could imagine, and if anyone puts his trust in God, sufficient is God for him, for God will surely accomplish His purpose indeed, for all things has God appointed a due proportion

65:4  Those of your women who have passed the age of monthly periods, for them the prescribed period, if you have any doubts, are three months. And for those who have no period, it is the same. For those pregnant, their time is until they deliver, and for those who are conscious of God, He will make their path easy

65:5  That is the command of God which He has sent down to you, and if anyone is conscious of God, He will remove his sins from him, and will enlarge his reward

65:6  Let the women live in ‘iddat in the same manner as you live, according to your means. Do not annoy them, as to restrict them. And if they are pregnant, then provide for them until they deliver, and if they breastfeed your offspring, give them their due, and take mutual counsel together, according to what is just and reasonable, and if you find yourselves in difficulties, let another woman breastfeed the child on their behalf

65:7  Let the man of means give according to his means, and the man whose resources are scarce, let him give according to what God has given him. God puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. With difficulty, God grants relief

65:8  How many were the peoples who insolently opposed the command of their Lord and of His messengers? Did We not then call them to account, to severe account? And We imposed on them an exemplary punishment

65:9  Then they tasted the consequence of their conduct, and the end of their conduct was perdition

65:10  God has prepared for them a severe punishment. Therefore be conscious of God, O you people of understanding who have believed, for God has indeed sent down to you a message

65:11  And a messenger, who rehearses to you the signs of God containing clear explanations, that he may lead forth those who believe and do righteous deeds, from the depths of darkness into light, and those who believe in God and work righteousness, He will admit to gardens with rivers flowing through them, to dwell therein forever. God has indeed granted for them an excellent provision

65:12  God is He Who created seven firmaments, and of the earth a similar number. Through them all, descends His command, that you may know that God has power over all things and that God comprehends all things in His knowledge
