And those who

pass away

among you

and leave behind

wives

(the widows) should wait

for themselves

(for) four

months

and ten (days)

Then when

they reach

their (specified) term

then (there is) no

blame

upon you

for what

they do

concerning

themselves

in a fair manner

And Allah

of what

you do

(is) All-Aware

And (there is) no

blame

upon you

in what

you hint

[with it]

of

marriage proposal

[to] the women

or

you conceal it

in

yourselves

Knows

Allah

that you

will mention them

[and] but

(do) not

promise them (widows)

secretly

except

that

you say

a saying

honorable

And (do) not

resolve (on)

the knot

(of) marriage

until

reaches

the prescribed term

its end

And know

that

Allah

knows

what

(is) within

yourselves

so beware of Him

And know

that

Allah

(is) Oft-Forgiving

Most Forbearing

(There is) no

blame

upon you

if

you divorce

[the] women

whom

not

you have touched

nor

you specified

for them

an obligation (dower)

And make provision for them

upon

the wealthy

according to his means

and upon

the poor

according to his means

a provision

in a fair manner

a duty

upon

the good-doers

And if

you divorce them

from

before

[that]

you (have) touched them

while already

you have specified

for them

an obligation (dower)

then (give) half

(of) what

you have specified

unless

[that]

they (women) forgo (it)

or

forgoes

the one

in whose hands

(is the) knot

(of) the marriage

And that

you forgo

(is) nearer

to [the] righteousness

And (do) not

forget

the graciousness

among you

Indeed

Allah

of what

you do

(is) All-Seer
