Talal Itani· published 2012
Mothers may nurse their infants for two whole years, for those who desire to complete the nursing-period. It is the duty of the father to provide for them and clothe them in a proper manner. No soul shall be burdened beyond its capacity. No mother shall be harmed on account of her child, and no father shall be harmed on account of his child. The same duty rests upon the heir. If the couple desire weaning, by mutual consent and consultation, they commit no error by doing so. You commit no error by hiring nursing-mothers, as long as you pay them fairly. And be wary of God, and know that God is Seeing of what you do.

Mothers shall suckle their children for two whole years; (that is) for those who wish to complete the suckling. The duty of feeding and clothing nursing mothers in a seemly manner is upon the father of the child. No-one should be charged beyond his capacity. A mother should not be made to suffer because of her child, nor should he to whom the child is born (be made to suffer) because of his child. And on the (father's) heir is incumbent the like of that (which was incumbent on the father). If they desire to wean the child by mutual consent and (after) consultation, it is no sin for them; and if ye wish to give your children out to nurse, it is no sin for you, provide that ye pay what is due from you in kindness. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is Seer of what ye do

Mothers must suckle their children two whole years for one who wishes to complete the time of suckling; and on him to whom it is born its sustenance and clothing are incumbent; but in reason, for no soul shall be obliged beyond its capacity. A mother shall not be forced for her child; nor he to whom it is born for his child. And the same (is incumbent) on the heir (of the father). But if both parties wish to wean, by mutual consent and counsel, then it is no crime in them. And if ye wish to provide a wet-nurse for your children, it is no crime in you when you pay what you have promised her, in reason. Fear God, and know that God on what ye do doth look

Mothers, when divorced, shall give suck to their children two full years, if the father desire that the suckling be completed; and such maintenance and clothing as is fair for them, shall devolve on the father. No person shall be charged beyond his means. A mother shall not be pressedunfairly for her child, nor a father for his child: And the same with the father's heir. But if they choose to wean the child by consent and by bargain, it shall be no fault in them. And if ye choose to have a nurse for your children, it shall be no fault in you, in case ye pay what ye promised her according to that which is fair. Fear God, and know that God seeth what ye do

Mothers after they are divorced shall give suck unto their children two full years, to him who desireth the time of giving suck to be completed; and the father shall be obliged to maintain them and cloath them in the mean time, according to that which shall be reasonable. No person shall be obliged beyond his ability. A mother shall not be compelled to what is unreasonable on account of her child, nor a father on account of his child. And the heir of the father shall be obliged to do in like manner. But if they choose to wean the child before the end of two years, by common consent, and on mutual consideration, it shall be no crime in them. And if ye have a mind to provide a nurse for your children, it shall be no crime in you, in case ye fully pay what ye offer her, according to that which is just.

Nënat le t'u japin gji fëmijëve të tyre plot dy vjet, për ata që duan ta plotësojnë kohën e gjidhënies. Babai e ka për detyrë të sigurojë për to ushqimin dhe veshmbathjen, në mënyrë të arsyeshme. Askush nuk ngarkohet përtej mundësive që ka. Le të mos dëmtohet nëna nëpërmjet fëmijës së saj e as babai përmes fëmijës së tij. Për trashëgimtarin vlejnë të njëjtat detyrime (në rast se nuk është gjallë babai i fëmijës). Nëse prindërit, pas marrëveshjes dhe këshillimit të ndërsjellë, vendosin ta ndajnë fëmijën nga gjiri (para se t'i mbushë dy vjet), nuk bëjnë gjynah. Mirëpo, nëse doni t'i gjeni ndonjë mëndeshë, nuk keni gjynah, nëse ia jepni pagën në mënyrë të duhur. Kijeni frikë Allahun dhe dijeni se Allahu sheh mirë gjithçka që bëni.

আর মায়েরা তাদের সন্তানদেরকে পূর্ণ দু’বছর দুধ পান করাবে, এটা সে ব্যক্তির (পিতার) জন্য, যে (সন্তানের) দুধ পানের মেয়াদ পূর্ণ করতে চায়। শিশুর পিতার কর্তব্য যথাবিধি তাদের ভরণ-পোষণের ব্যবস্থা করা। কারো উপর যেন তার সাধ্যাতীত ভার চাপিয়ে দেওয়া না হয়। কোনো মাতাকে তার সন্তানের জন্য এবং পিতাকেও তার সন্তানের জন্য ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত করা ও কষ্ট দেওয়া যাবে না। আর (বাচ্চার পিতার অবর্তমানে ) উত্তরাধিকারীরও রয়েছে (পিতার) অনুরূপ দায়িত্ব-কর্তব্য। কিন্তু যদি তারা পরস্পরের সম্মতি ও পরামর্শক্রমে দুধ পান বন্ধ রাখতে চায়, তবে তাদের কারো কোনো অপরাধ নেই। আর যদি তোমরা তোমাদের সন্তানদেরকে দুধ পান করাতে চাও, তাহলে যদি তোমরা প্রচলিত বিধি মোতাবেক তাদেরকে বিনিময় দিয়ে দাও, তবে তোমাদের কোনো পাপ নেই। আর তোমরা আল্লাহকে ভয় করো এবং জেনে রাখো, তোমরা যা কিছু করো নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ তা প্রত্যক্ষকারী।

Und die Mütter stillen ihre Kinder zwei volle Jahre. (Das gilt) für den, der das Stillen zu Ende führen will. Und demjenigen, dem das Kind geboren wurde, obliegt es, für ihre Versorgung und Kleidung in rechtlicher Weise aufzukommen. Keiner Seele wird mehr auferlegt, als sie zu leisten vermag. Einer Mutter soll nicht wegen ihres Kindes Schaden zugefügt werden, und auch nicht dem (Vater), dem das Kind geboren wurde, wegen seines Kindes. Und dem Erben obliegt das gleiche. Wenn sie beide jedoch in gegenseitigem Einvernehmen und gemeinsamer Beratung (das Kind vorzeitig) entwöhnen wollen, so liegt darin keine Sünde für sie (beide). Und wenn ihr eure Kinder (von einer Amme) stillen lassen wollt, so liegt darin keine Sünde für euch, sofern ihr das, was ihr (an Lohn) geben wollt, in rechtlicher Weise überreicht.

Και ο πατέρας του παιδιού υποχρεούται να καλύψει τις δαπάνες του φαγητού και του ρουχισμού της (διαζευγμένης μητέρας), σύμφωνα με το εύλογο. Κανείς δε βαρύνεται πέραν των δυνατοτήτων του. Καμιά μητέρα δεν πρέπει να βλαφθεί μέσω του παιδιού της, ούτε ο πατέρας μέσω του παιδιού του (δηλ. δεν πρέπει οι γονείς να χρησιμοποιούν το παιδί ως μέσο για να βλάψει ο ένας τον άλλον). Και (αν πεθάνει ο πατέρας, τότε) στον κληρονόμο (του) υπάρχει το ίδιο (καθήκον, από φαγητό και ρουχισμό προς τη μητέρα του παιδιού). Και αν και οι δύο επιθυμούν τον απογαλακτισμό (πριν να ολοκληρωθούν τα δύο χρόνια θηλασμού) με αμοιβαία συναίνεση και συνεννόηση, δεν υπάρχει αμαρτία σε κανέναν από τους δύο. Και αν θέλετε το παιδί σας να θηλαστεί από κάποια τροφό (εκτός της μητέρας), δεν υπάρχει αμαρτία σ’ εσάς εφόσον (της) δίνετε την πληρωμή, με δίκαιο τρόπο (χωρίς μείωση ούτε αναβολή).

E le madri allatteranno i loro figli per due anni completi, per chi vuole che finiscano l’allattamento. Ed è compito del genitore mantenere i figli e vestirli in modo degno, benevolmente. Non si chiede a un’anima se non ciò che può fare: la madre non deve subire danno a causa del proprio figlio, e il padre non deve spendere più delle sue possibilità. E l’erede ha gli stessi obblighi. Se vogliono separarsi di comune accordo, dopo aver discusso, non c’è punizione per loro. E se volete allattare i vostri figli in un altro luogo, non sarete puniti, a patto che diate con gentilezza ciò che avete promesso. E temete Allāh, e in verità Allāh di ciò che fate è Osservatore.

Ingen ska belastas utöver sin förmåga. Modern ska inte skadas på grund av sitt barn och inte heller ska fadern skadas på grund av sitt. Arvingen åläggs samma ansvar [som fadern gentemot den som ammar, ifall fadern inte är vid liv]. Men om båda, efter samråd och samförstånd, vill avsluta amningen tidigare, begår de inget fel.

Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil

Talal Itani2012 When you divorce women, and they have reached their term, either retain them amicably, or release them amicably. But do not retain them to hurt them and commit aggression. Whoever does that has wronged himself. And do not take God's revelations for a joke. And remember God's favor to you, and that He revealed to you the Scripture and Wisdom to teach you. And fear God, and know that God is aware of everything.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 When ye have divorced women, and they have reached their term, then retain them in kindness or release them in kindness. Retain them not to their hurt so that ye transgress (the limits). He who doeth that hath wronged his soul. Make not the revelations of Allah a laughing-stock (by your behaviour), but remember Allah's grace upon you and that which He hath revealed unto you of the Scripture and of wisdom, whereby He doth exhort you. Observe your duty to Allah and know that Allah is Aware of all things
Edward Henry Palmer1880 When ye divorce women, and they have reached the prescribed time, then keep them kindly, or let them go in reason, but do not keep them by force to transgress; for whoso does that, he is unjust to his own soul: and do not take God's signs in jest; and remember God's favours to you, and what He has sent down to you of the Book and wisdom, to admonish you thereby; and fear God, and know that God doth all things know
John Medows Rodwell1861 But when ye divorce women, and the time for sending them away is come, either retain them with generosity, or put them away with generosity: but retain them not by constraint so as to be unjust towards them. He who doth so, doth in fact injure himself. And make not the signs of God a jest; but remember God's favour toward you, and the Book and the Wisdom which He hath sent down to you for your warning, and fear God, and know that God's knowledge embraceth everything
George Sale1734 But when ye divorce women, and they have fulfilled their prescribed time, either retain them with humanity, or dismiss them with kindness; and retain them not by violence, so that ye transgress; for he who doth this, surely injureth his own soul. And make not the signs of God a jest: But remember God's favour towards you, and that he hath sent down unto you the book of the Koran, and wisdom, admonishing you thereby; and fear God, and know that God is omniscient
Talal Itani2012 When you divorce women, and they have reached their term, do not prevent them from marrying their husbands, provided they agree on fair terms. Thereby is advised whoever among you believes in God and the Last Day. That is better and more decent for you. God knows, and you do not know.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And when ye have divorced women and they reach their term, place not difficulties in the way of their marrying their husbands if it is agreed between them in kindness. This is an admonition for him among you who believeth in Allah and the Last Day. That is more virtuous for you, and cleaner. Allah knoweth; ye know not
Edward Henry Palmer1880 When ye divorce women, and they have reached their prescribed term, do not prevent them from marrying their (fresh) husbands, when they have agreed with each other reasonably. That is what he is admonished with who amongst you believes in God and in the last day. That is more pure for you and cleaner. But God knows, and ye know not
John Medows Rodwell1861 And when ye divorce your wives, and they have waited the prescribed time, hinder them not from marrying their husbands when they have agreed among themselves in an honourable way. This warning is for him among you who believeth in God and in the last day. This is most pure for you, and most decent. God knoweth, but ye know not
George Sale1734 But when ye have divorced your wives, and they have fulfilled their prescribed time, hinder them not from marrying their husbands, when they have agreed among themselves according to what is honourable. This is given in admonition unto him among you who believeth in God, and the last day. This is most righteous for you, and most pure. God knoweth, but ye know not
Talal Itani2012 As for those among you who die and leave widows behind, their widows shall wait by themselves for four months and ten days. When they have reached their term, there is no blame on you regarding what they might honorably do with themselves. God is fully acquainted with what you do.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Such of you as die and leave behind them wives, they (the wives) shall wait, keeping themselves apart, four months and ten days. And when they reach the term (prescribed for them) then there is no sin for you in aught that they may do with themselves in decency. Allah is informed of what ye do
Edward Henry Palmer1880 Those of you who die and leave wives behind, let these wait by themselves for four months and ten days; and when they have reached their prescribed time, there is no crime in them for what they do with themselves in reason; for God of what ye do is well aware
John Medows Rodwell1861 If those of you who die leave wives, they must await their state during four months and ten days; and when this their term is expired, you shall not be answerable for the way in which they shall dispose of themselves fairly. And God is cognisant of what ye do
George Sale1734 Such of you as die, and leave wives, their wives must wait concerning themselves four months and ten days, and when they shall have fulfilled their term, it shall be no crime in you, for that which they shall do with themselves, according to what is reasonable. God well knoweth that which ye do
Talal Itani2012 You commit no error by announcing your engagement to women, or by keeping it to yourselves. God knows that you will be thinking about them. But do not meet them secretly, unless you have something proper to say. And do not confirm the marriage tie until the writing is fulfilled. And know that God knows what is in your souls, so beware of Him. And know that God is Forgiving and Forbearing.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 There is no sin for you in that which ye proclaim or hide in your minds concerning your troth with women. Allah knoweth that ye will remember them. But plight not your troth with women except by uttering a recognised form of words. And do not consummate the marriage until (the term) prescribed is run. Know that Allah knoweth what is in your minds, so beware of Him; and know that Allah is Forgiving, Clement
Edward Henry Palmer1880 Nor is there any crime in you for that ye make them an offer of marriage, or that ye keep it secret, in your minds. God knows that ye will remember them; but do not propose to them in secret, unless ye speak a reasonable speech; and resolve not on marriage tie until the Book shall reach its time; but know that God knows what is in your souls; so beware! and know that God is forgiving and clement
John Medows Rodwell1861 And then shall no blame attach to you in making proposals of marriage to such women, or in keeping such intention to yourselves? God knoweth that ye will not forget them. But promise them not in secret, unless ye speak honourable words; And resolve not on the marriage tie until the prescribed time be reached; and know that God knoweth what is in your minds: therefore, beware of Him; and know that God is Gracious, Mild
George Sale1734 And it shall be no crime in you, whether ye make public overtures of marriage unto such women, within the said four months and ten days, or whether ye conceal such your designs in your minds: God knoweth that ye will remember them. But make no promise unto them privately, unless ye speak honourable words; and resolve not on the knot of marriage, until the prescribed time be accomplished; and know that God knoweth that which is in your minds, therefore beware of him, and know that God is gracious and merciful

Source Tanzil Qur'an text (Uthmani) · Uthmani, Version 1.1
Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.
CLEARED. Licence read verbatim from the block embedded in this very file. Ingested exactly as shipped: no normalisation, no stripping of marks, no Unicode recomposition.
Parsed structurally from the EPUB: an h3 names the surah, one p per verse with its number in its own span. An unnumbered p is the basmala and is not a verse, except in surah 1 where the basmala IS verse 1. 112 unnumbered paragraphs were found, which is 114 surahs less surah 1 and surah 9. Text is stored VERBATIM: NFC normalisation and XML entity unescaping only, because CC BY-ND forbids modification.
CLEARED on a licence read first-hand from the translator's own download page, not from an aggregator. Tanzil also hosts this translation, but under a blanket "non-commercial purposes only" term that directs the user to the translator or publisher for permission - a hosting disclaimer, not a grant - so the grant was taken from the licensor directly. The "God" edition was ingested; ClearQuran also publishes an "Allah" edition, differing in how the divine name is rendered, which is not ingested.
CLEARED ON THE WORK, WITH TWO RECORDED CAVEATS ON THIS COPY. (1) Rights basis is the expired copyright term, NOT the redistributing repository's licence. That repository dedicates its contents to the public domain under the Unlicense while also redistributing plainly in-copyright translations (Abdel Haleem, Saheeh International, The Study Quran), so it is dedicating rights it cannot hold and its blanket grant is not relied upon here. (2) The file declares its own upstream as tanzil.net, and Tanzil attaches a non-commercial condition to its TRANSLATION distributions, though not to its Qur'anic text. Since Pickthall's copyright has expired, nobody holds rights in these words and no licence is required from anyone; Tanzil's terms are a contract binding those who download from Tanzil, which we did not. The chain is nonetheless not spotless and Anwar may prefer a clean digitisation of the 1930 printing. NOT VERIFIED: that this digital text matches the 1930 first printing rather than a later revised edition. No page images were collated. Recorded as unverified rather than presented as established. SERVED TEXT DIFFERS FROM THE CITED FILE AT ONE VERSE, 37:97: the file reads "red-hotfire" (a glued token, also in Gutenberg #16955); the served row reads "red-hot fire", restored 2026-09-13 from Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (London: George Allen & Unwin, printed for Alfred A. Knopf; 1930), p. 460, XXXVII 97 - scan archive.org in.ernet.dli.2015.216140, PDF page 475; banked data/derivation-sources/pickthall-1930-dli-2015.216140-text.pdf (sha256 70e81146c97fa3a590243a82e04e349108546074787e2551a78c616202138870) on Anwar Malik's grant.
Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 verses, keyed to mushaf order. The
bismillah is not fused into ayah 1: 1:1 carries it and no other verse
does. Verified against content check C3 at ingest.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is not stated by the redistributor and the printing is unverified. No statement of purpose is recorded for Palmer because none was sourced from his own preface in this pass; nothing is asserted on his behalf.

CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. TWO edition caveats. (1) The upstream is not stated by the redistributor. (2) Rodwell's own edition PRESENTS THE SURAHS IN HIS OWN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, not the mushaf order — he says so in his preface. This digital text is keyed to mushaf order, so it derives from a restored-order printing (such as the Everyman edition) rather than from Rodwell's own arrangement. Which printing is not stated and has not been established.

CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is NOT STATED by the redistributor, so the printing it represents is unverified; Sale's text was reprinted and re-edited many times between 1734 and 1900. Recorded as unverified rather than assumed to be the first edition.

The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
