Divorceal-Ṭalāq ( الطلاق )

12 verses • revealed at Medinan

»The surah that issues the lawful procedures by which one may Divorce and that calls for fair parting between believers if marriage is to end, in accordance with what is right and within God’s prescribed limits, while promising ease and deliverance for the truly God-fearing who undergo this trauma. It takes its name from verse 1 ff. concerning “divorce” (ṭalāq). The surah strongly urges people to observe God’s regulations and guidance. To reinforce this they are reminded of the fate of earlier disobedient peoples and the rewards of the obedient. God’s power and knowledge are emphasized at the end (verse 12).«

يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذا طَلَّقتُمُ النِّساءَ فَطَلِّقوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحصُوا العِدَّةَ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُم ۖ لا تُخرِجوهُنَّ مِن بُيوتِهِنَّ وَلا يَخرُجنَ إِلّا أَن يَأتينَ بِفاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ ۚ وَتِلكَ حُدودُ اللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدودَ اللَّهِ فَقَد ظَلَمَ نَفسَهُ ۚ لا تَدري لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحدِثُ بَعدَ ذٰلِكَ أَمرًا

Jean-Louis Michon

O Prophète ! Lorsque vous répudiez vos femmes, faites-le à l'issue de leur délai d'attente, et calculez bien le délai. Craignez Dieu, votre Seigneur ! Ne les chassez pas de leurs maisons et qu'elles n'en sortent pas, à moins d'avoir commis une turpitude manifeste. Telles sont les limites prescrites par Dieu. Et quiconque transgresse les prescriptions divines se fait tort à lui-même. Tu ne le sais pas : il se peut que, plus tard, Dieu suscite autre chose.
