CHAPTER SURAH BAQRAH 226 - 240

 QURAN TAFSIR ( QURAN AS IT EXPLAIN ITSELF)

2: 226. For those who abstain from their wives, they shall be given four months. If they cease, then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

[They must rethink their decision during this grace period and circumstances might change. Similar rules apply for women, since they have equal rights and obligations, and since no man is permitted to forcibly keep his wife in wedlock against her will as stated later in the Book..2:228

4:19.  O you who believe, it is not lawful for you to inherit from the women by force. And do not make difficulty for them so that you may take away some of what you have given them, unless they commit a clear lewdness. And live with them in kindness. If you dislike them, then perhaps you dislike something while Allah makes in it much good.

4:21.  And how can you take it when you have become intimate with each other, and they have taken from you a solemn covenant.

4:34.  The men are to support the women with what Allah has bestowed upon them over one another and for what they spend of their money. The upright females are dutiful; keeping private the personal matters for what Allah keeps watch over. As for those females from whom you fear desertion, then you shall advise them, and abandon them in the bedchamber, and separate from them. If they respond to you, then do not seek a way over them; Allah is Most High, Great.

7:189.  He is the One who has created you from one person, and He made from it its mate to reside with. When he dwelled with her, she became pregnant with a light load, and she continued with it; then when it became heavy, they called on Allah, their Rabb: "If You give us an upright child, then we will be among the thankful."]


2:227.  And if they insist on the divorce, then Allah is Hearer, Knowledgeable.

[They must bear in mind that since marriage is a Solemn Covenant

4:21.  And how can you take it when you have become intimate with each other, and they have taken from you a solemn covenant.

Divorce can take place only in accordance with this Book of law]


2:228.  And those divorced shall wait for three menstruation periods; and it is not lawful for them to conceal what Allah has created in their wombs, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day. And their husbands would then have just cause to return together, if they both wish to reconcile. And the obligations owed to them are to be fulfilled, as are the obligations owed by them. But the men will have a greater responsibility over them in this. And Allah is Noble, Wise.

[There is no waiting period for a woman who is divorced before intimate relations with her husband

33:49.  O you who believe, if you marry the believing females, then divorce them before having intercourse with them, then there is no interim required of them. You shall compensate them, and let them go in an amicable manner.

And it is three months if they do not habitually menstruate

65:4.  As for those who have reached menopause from your women, if you have any doubts, their interim shall be three months - as well as for those who did not menstruate. And those who are already pregnant, their interim is until they give birth. And anyone who reverences Allah, He makes his matters easy for him.

Men do not have a waiting period for remarriage for obvious physiological reasons. And this is where men have an advantage over women.

4:3.  And if you fear that you cannot be just to the orphans, then you may marry those who are agreeable to you of the women: two, and three, and four. But if you fear you will not be fair, then only one, or whom you maintain by your oaths. This is best that you do not face financial hardship.

4:19.  O you who believe, it is not lawful for you to inherit from the women by force. And do not make difficulty for them so that you may take away some of what you have given them, unless they commit a clear lewdness. And live with them in kindness. If you dislike them, then perhaps you dislike something while Allah makes in it much good.

4:35.  And if you fear a permanent rift between them, then send a judge from his family and a judge from her family. If they want to reconcile, then Allah will bring them together. Allah is Knowledgeable, Expert.

4:128.  And if a woman fears from her husband desertion or disregard, then there is no sin for them to reconcile between themselves; and reconciliation is good. And the souls are brought by need. And if you are kind and do right, then Allah is expert over what you do.

33:49.  O you who believe, if you marry the believing females, then divorce them before having intercourse with them, then there is no interim required of them. You shall compensate them, and let them go in an amicable manner.

58:1. Allah has heard the woman who has argued with you regarding her husband, and she complained to Allah. And Allah hears the argument between you. Allah is Hearer, Seer.

65:1.  O prophet, if any of you have divorced the women, then they should be divorced while ensuring that their required interim is fulfilled, and keep count of the interim. You shall reverence Allah your Rabb, and do not evict them from their homes, nor should they leave, unless they commit an evident immorality. And these are the boundaries of Allah. And anyone who transgresses the boundaries of Allah has wronged his soul. You never know; perhaps Allah will make something come out of this.]


2:229.  The divorce is allowed twice. So, either they remain together equitably, or they part ways with goodness. And it is not lawful for you to take back anything you have given them unless you fear that they will not uphold the boundaries of Allah. So if you fear that they will not uphold the boundaries of Allah, then there is no sin upon them for what is given back. These are the boundaries of Allah so do not transgress them. And whoever shall transgress the boundaries of Allah, then these are the wicked.


2:230.  So if he divorces her again, then she will not be lawful for him until after she has married a different husband; if he divorces her; then there is no sin that they come back together if they think they will uphold the boundaries of Allah. These are the boundaries of Allah, He clarifies them for a people who know.

[Irrevocably = Divorce on a third different time during their entire marital life.

NOTE: “either of them to reunite” can only refer to the original couple. There is no room in the Qur’an for the so-called ‘Halaalah’, a shameful, manmade custom where a divorced woman is made to spend an intimate night with another man under wedlock with a preplanned divorce in the morning! It should better be called ‘Haraamah’]


2:231.  And if you have divorced the women, and they have reached their required interim period, then either you remain together equitably, or part ways equitably. And do not reconcile with them so you can harm them out of animosity; whoever does so is doing wrong to his soul; and do not take the revelations of Allah as mockery. And remember the blessings of Allah upon you, and what was sent down to you of the Book and the wisdom, He warns you with it. And be aware of Allah and know that Allah is knowledgeable of all things.


2:232.  And if you divorce the women, and they reach their required interim period, then do not make difficulty for them if they wish to remarry their husbands if they have amicably agreed among themselves out of what is best. This is to remind any of you who believe in Allah and the Last Day, this is better for you and purer; and Allah knows while you do not know.

[Fabalghna ajalahunna= The divorced women are about to complete their term of waiting period - according to the context and Tasreef]


2:233.  And the divorced mothers are allowed to suckle their children two full years, if they wish to complete the suckling. And the man for whom the child is born is responsible for both their provisions and clothing equitably. A soul is not burdened except with what it can bear. No mother shall be harmed because of her child, nor shall a father be harmed because of his child. And for the guardian is the same requirement. So if they wish to separate out of mutual agreement and counsel, then there is no sin upon them. And if you want to hire nursing mothers, then there is no sin upon you if you return what you have been given equitably. And be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is watching over what you do.


2:234.  And for those of you whose lives are terminated and they leave widows behind, then their widows will have a required interim period of four months and ten. So when they reach their required interim, then there is no sin upon you for what they do with themselves in goodness. And Allah is Expert to what you do.


2:235.  And there is no sin upon you if you openly propose marriage to the women, or you keep it between yourselves. Allah knows that you will be thinking about them, but do not meet them secretly, unless you have something righteous to say. And do not finalize the marriage contract until the book interim is reached. And know that Allah knows what is in your souls, so be aware of Him, and know that Allah is Forgiving, Compassionate.


2:236. There is no sin upon you if you divorce the women before having sexual intercourse with them, or before setting the dowry for them. Let them have recompense, the rich according to his means, and the poor according to his means. A recompense in kindness, a responsibility for the good doers.


2:237.  And if you divorce them before having sexual intercourse with them, but you have already set the dowry for them; then you must give half of what you have agreed, unless they forgive or the guardian over the marriage contract forgives. And if you forgive, it is closer to righteousness. And do not forget the favor between you; Allah is Seer of what you do.


2:238.  Maintain the contact prayers; and the middle contact prayer; and stand for Allah dutifully.


2:239.  But if you are fearful, then you may do so while walking or riding. If you become secure, then remember Allah as He has taught you what you did not know.

[3:3.  He sent down to you the Book with the truth, authenticating what is between his hands; and He sent down the Torah and the Injeel.

3:190-191. In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference between the night and the day, are signs for those who possess intelligence.

Those who remember Allah while standing, and sitting, and on their sides, and they ponder over the creation of the heavens and the earth: "Our Rabb you have not created this without purpose, glory to You, spare us the retribution of the Fire!"

4:103. Then, if you have completed the contact prayer, remember Allah while standing, or sitting, or on your sides. Then, if you are secure, hold the contact prayer. Indeed, the contact prayer for the believers is a Book that is scheduled.]


2: 240. And for those of you whose lives are terminated and they leave widows behind; a testimony to them that they may enjoy for one year without being made to vacate. If they leave then there is no sin upon you for what they do with themselves of goodness; and Allah is Noble, Wise.
