65:1

yā-ʾayyuhā n-nabiyyu ʾidhā ṭallaqtumu n-nisāʾa fa-ṭalliqūhunna li-ʿiddatihinna wa-ʾaḥṣū l-ʿiddata wa-ttaqū llāha rabbakum lā tukhrijūhunna min buyūtihinna wa-lā yakhrujna ʾillā ʾan yaʾtīna bi-fāḥishatin mubayyinatin wa-tilka ḥudūdu llāhi wa-man yataʿadda ḥudūda llāhi fa-qad ẓalama nafsahū lā tadrī laʿalla llāha yuḥdithu baʿda dhālika ʾamran

O Prophet! When you divorce women, divorce them at [the conclusion of] their term and calculate the term, and be wary of Allah, your Lord. Do not turn them out from their homes, nor shall they go out, unless they commit a gross indecency. These are Allah’s bounds, and whoever transgresses the bounds of Allah certainly wrongs himself. You never know maybe Allah will bring off something new later on.

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:2

fa-ʾidhā balaghna ʾajalahunna fa-ʾamsikūhunna bi-maʿrūfin ʾaw fāriqūhunna bi-maʿrūfin wa-ʾashhidū dhaway ʿadlin minkum wa-ʾaqīmū sh-shahādata li-llāhi dhālikum yūʿaẓu bihī man kāna yuʾminu bi-llāhi wa-l-yawmi l-ʾākhiri wa-man yattaqi llāha yajʿal lahū makhrajan

Then, when they have completed their term, either retain them honourably or separate from them honourably, and take the witness of two honest men from among yourselves, and bear witness for the sake of Allah. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day is advised to [comply with] this. Whoever is wary of Allah, He shall make for him a way out [of the adversities of the world and the Hereafter]

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:3

wa-yarzuqhu min ḥaythu lā yaḥtasibu wa-man yatawakkal ʿalā llāhi fa-huwa ḥasbuhū ʾinna llāha bālighu ʾamrihī qad jaʿala llāhu li-kulli shayʾin qadran

and provide for him from whence he does not count upon. And whoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him. Indeed Allah carries through His commands. Certainly, Allah has ordained a measure [and extent] for everything.

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:4

wa-llāʾī yaʾisna mina l-maḥīḍi min nisāʾikum ʾini rtabtum fa-ʿiddatuhunna thalāthatu ʾashhurin wa-llāʾī lam yaḥiḍna wa-ʾulātu l-ʾaḥmāli ʾajaluhunna ʾan yaḍaʿna ḥamlahunna wa-man yattaqi llāha yajʿal lahū min ʾamrihī yusran

As for those of your wives who have ceased having menses—[or] if you have any doubts [concerning its cause, whether it’s is age or something else]—their term [of waiting] and of those who have not yet had menses, shall be three months. As for those who are pregnant, their term shall be until they deliver. And whoever is wary of Allah, He shall grant him ease in his affairs.

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:5

dhālika ʾamru llāhi ʾanzalahū ʾilaykum wa-man yattaqi llāha yukaffir ʿanhu sayyiʾātihī wa-yuʿẓim lahū ʾajran

That is Allah’s ordinance, which He has sent down to you, and whoever is wary of Allah, He shall absolve him of his misdeeds and give him a great reward.

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:6

ʾaskinūhunna min ḥaythu sakantum min wujdikum wa-lā tuḍārrūhunna li-tuḍayyiqū ʿalayhinna wa-ʾin kunna ʾulāti ḥamlin fa-ʾanfiqū ʿalayhinna ḥattā yaḍaʿna ḥamlahunna fa-ʾin ʾarḍaʿna lakum fa-ʾātūhunna ʾujūrahunna wa-ʾtamirū baynakum bi-maʿrūfin wa-ʾin taʿāsartum fa-sa-turḍiʿu lahū ʾukhrā

House them where you live, in accordance with your means, and do not harass them to put them in straits, and should they be pregnant, maintain them until they deliver. Then, if they suckle [the baby] for you, give them their wages and consult together honourably. But if you make things difficult for each other, then another woman will suckle [the baby] for him.

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:7

li-yunfiq dhū saʿatin min saʿatihī wa-man qudira ʿalayhi rizquhū fa-l-yunfiq mimmā ʾātāhu llāhu lā yukallifu llāhu nafsan ʾillā mā ʾātāhā sa-yajʿalu llāhu baʿda ʿusrin yusran

Let the affluent man spend out of his affluence, and let he whose provision has been tightened spend out of what Allah has given him. Allah does not task any soul except [according to] what He has given it. Allah will bring about ease after hardship.

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:8

wa-ka-ʾayyin min qaryatin ʿatat ʿan ʾamri rabbihā wa-rusulihī fa-ḥāsabnāhā ḥisāban shadīdan wa-ʿadhdhabnāhā ʿadhāban nukran

How many a town defied the command of its Lord and His apostles, then We called it to a severe account and punished it with a dire punishment.

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:9

fa-dhāqat wabāla ʾamrihā wa-kāna ʿāqibatu ʾamrihā khusran

So it tasted the evil consequences of its conduct, and the outcome of its conduct was ruin.

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:10

ʾaʿadda llāhu lahum ʿadhāban shadīdan fa-ttaqū llāha yā-ʾulī l-ʾalbābi lladhīna ʾāmanū qad ʾanzala llāhu ʾilaykum dhikran

Allah has prepared for them a severe punishment. So be wary of Allah, O you who possess intellect and have faith! Allah has already sent down to you a reminder,

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:11

rasūlan yatlū ʿalaykum ʾāyāti llāhi mubayyinātin li-yukhrija lladhīna ʾāmanū wa-ʿamilū ṣ-ṣāliḥāti mina ẓ-ẓulumāti ʾilā n-nūri wa-man yuʾmin bi-llāhi wa-yaʿmal ṣāliḥan yudkhilhu jannātin tajrī min taḥtihā l-ʾanhāru khālidīna fīhā ʾabadan qad ʾaḥsana llāhu lahū rizqan-i

an apostle reciting to you the manifest signs of Allah that He may bring out those who have faith and do righteous deeds from darkness into light. And whoever has faith in Allah and does righteous deeds, He shall admit him into gardens with streams running in them, to remain in them forever. Allah has certainly granted him an excellent provision.

— Ali Quli Qarai

65:12

allāhu lladhī khalaqa sabʿa samāwātin wa-mina l-ʾarḍi mithlahunna yatanazzalu l-ʾamru baynahunna li-taʿlamū ʾanna llāha ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun wa-ʾanna llāha qad ʾaḥāṭa bi-kulli shayʾin ʿilman

It is Allah who has created seven heavens, and of the earth [a number] similar to them. The command gradually descends through them, that you may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah comprehends all things in knowledge.

— Ali Quli Qarai
