Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
O PROPHET! when ye divorce women, divorce them at their specialtimes. And reckon those times exactly, and fear God your Lord. Put them not forth from their houses, nor allow them to depart, unless they have committed a proven adultery. This is the precept of God; and whoso transgresseth the precept of God, assuredly imperilleth his own self. Thou knowest not whether, after this, God may not cause something new to occur which may bring you together again

O Prophet! If any of you divorce women, divorce them during their period of purity, and calculate their term. And be pious before God, your Lord. And do not evict them from their homes, nor shall they leave, unless they have committed a proven adultery. These are the limits of God-whoever oversteps God's limits has wronged his own soul. You never know; God may afterwards bring about a new situation.

O Prophet! When ye (men) put away women, put them away for their (legal) period and reckon the period, and keep your duty to Allah, your Lord. Expel them not from their houses nor let them go forth unless they commitopenimmorality. Such are the limits (imposed by) Allah; and whoso transgresseth Allah's limits, he verily wrongeth his soul. Thou knowest not: it may be that Allah will afterward bring some new thing to pass

O thou prophet! when ye divorce women, then divorce them at their term, and calculate the term and fear God your Lord. Do not drive them out of their houses unless they have committed manifest adultery. These are God's bounds, and whoso transgresses God's bounds has wronged himself.

O prophet, when ye divorce women, put them away at their appointed term; and compute the term exactly: And fear God, your Lord. Oblige them not to go out of their apartments, neither let them go out, until the term be expired, unless they be guilty of manifest uncleanness. These are the statutes of God: And whoever transgresseth the statutes of God, assuredly injureth his own soul: Thou knowest not whether God will bring something new to pass, which may reconcile them, after this

O Pejgamber! Kur t’i ndani gratë, ndajini ato gjatë kohës së lejuar për këtë[1] dhe llogariteni mirë periudhën e pritjes. Kijeni frikë Allahun, Zotin tuaj! Mos i nxirrni ato nga shtëpitë e veta e as ato të mos dalin, përveçse nëse bëjnë ndonjë paturpësi të qartë. Këta janë kufijtë e Allahut.

O Prophet, wenn ihr euch von den Frauen scheidet, dann scheidet euch von ihnen nach ihrer Wartezeit, und berechnet die Wartezeit. Und fürchtet Allah, euren Herrn. Weist sie nicht aus ihren Häusern aus; sie sollen auch nicht selbst ausziehen, außer sie begehen etwas klar Abscheuliches. Dies sind die Grenzen Allahs.

Ω, Προφήτη! Αν (εσείς οι πιστοί αποφασίσετε να) δώσετε διαζύγιο στις γυναίκες (σας), τότε δώστε τους το διαζύγιο τη στιγμή που μπορούν να ξεκινήσουν τη δική τους ‘Εΐντα [δηλ. την ορισμένη περίοδο αναμονής κατά την οποία η γυναίκα δεν μπορεί να παντρευτεί άλλον. Ξεκινάει από τη στιγμή που ο σύζυγος ανακοινώνει το διαζύγιο προφορικά, με την προϋπόθεση η σύζυγος να μη βρίσκεται σε έμμηνο ρύση τη στιγμή της ανακοίνωσης και να μην έχει ο σύζυγος σεξουαλική επαφή μαζί της από την τελευταία έμμηνο ρύση της, ώστε να είναι σίγουροι αν είναι έγκυος ή όχι]. Kαι να μετράτε με ακρίβεια την (περίοδο της)‘Εΐντα (ίσως κατά την περίοδο αυτή ο σύζυγος να θελήσει να επιστρέψει τη σύζυγό του στον έγγαμο βίο). Και να φυλαχθείτε από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ, τον Κύριό σας (εκτελώντας τις εντολές Του). Μην τις διώχνετε από τα σπίτια τους (κατά την ‘Εΐντα) (δηλ. η σύζυγος έχει το δικαίωμα διαμονής στο σπίτι του συζύγου της, και δεν μπορεί να τη διώξει), ούτε οι ίδιες να το εγκαταλείψουν (κατά την ‘Εΐντα), εκτός αν είναι ένοχες για μια φανερή αισχρή πράξη (παράνομη συνουσία). Αυτά είναι τα όρια (νόμοι) που τέθηκαν από τον Αλλάχ, και όποιος παραβεί τα όρια που τέθηκαν από τον Αλλάχ, τότε πράγματι έχει αδικήσει τον εαυτό του. Εσύ (που παίρνεις διαζύγιο από τη γυναίκα σου) δε γνωρίζεις (τι μπορεί να συμβεί), ίσως ο Αλλάχ κάνει έπειτα από αυτό (το διαζύγιο) κάτι (που δεν το περιμένεις, όπως η ανανεωμένη επιθυμία για τη σύζυγο).

Each is shown complete — this platform never excerpts a translation — and each renders under its translator's name. No translation here is marked as the correct one.

About easy-read
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation,
not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading.
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
Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the
Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the
same edition and their orthography differs.
Talal Itani2012 Once they have reached their term, either retain them honorably, or separate from them honorably. And call to witness two just people from among you, and give upright testimony for God. By that is exhorted whoever believes in God and the Last Day. And whoever fears God-He will make a way out for him.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Then, when they have reached their term, take them back in kindness or part from them in kindness, and call to witness two just men among you, and keep your testimony upright for Allah. Whoso believeth in Allah and the Last Day is exhorted to act thus. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, Allah will appoint a way out for him
Edward Henry Palmer1880 And when they have reached their appointed time, then retain them with kindness, or separate from them with kindness; and bring as witnesses men of equity from among you; and give upright testimony to God. That is what He admonishes him who believes in God and the last day; and whosoever fears God, He will make for him a (happy) issue
John Medows Rodwell1861 And when they have reached their set time, then either keep them with kindness, or in kindness part from them. And take upright witnesses from among you, and bear witness as unto God. This is a caution for him who believeth in God and in the latter day. And whoso feareth God, to him will He grant a prosperous issue, and will provide for him whence he reckoned not upon it
George Sale1734 And when they shall have fulfilled their term, either retain them with kindness, or part from them honourably: And take witnesses from among you, men of integrity; and give your testimony as in the presence of God: This admonition is given unto him who believeth in God and the last day: And whoso feareth God, unto him will He grant a happy issue out of all his afflictions

Nothing on this page rests on a source that is not here.
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.

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.
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, 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.
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. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
