What are Allah’s instructions to avoid Talaq?

اللہ نے طلاق سے بچنے کے لئیے کیا ھدایت دی ہے؟

Arabic
وَٱلَّٰتِي يَأۡتِينَ ٱلۡفَٰحِشَةَ مِن نِّسَآئِكُمۡ فَٱسۡتَشۡهِدُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّ أَرۡبَعَةٗ مِّنكُمۡۖ فَإِن شَهِدُواْ فَأَمۡسِكُوهُنَّ فِي ٱلۡبُيُوتِ حَتَّىٰ يَتَوَفَّىٰهُنَّ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ أَوۡ يَجۡعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُنَّ سَبِيلٗا ١٥
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
As for those of your women who are guilty of immoral conduct, call upon four from amongst you to bear witness against them. And if four men do bear witness, confine those women to their houses until either death takes them away or Allah opens some way for them.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Tumhari auraton mein se jo badhkari ki murtakib hon unpar apne mein se char aadmiyon ki gawahi lo , aur agar char aadmi gawahi de dein to unko gharon mein bandh rakkho yahan tak ke unhein maut aa jaye ya Allah unke liye koi raasta nikal de
Arabic
وَٱلَّذَانِ يَأۡتِيَٰنِهَا مِنكُمۡ فَـَٔاذُوهُمَاۖ فَإِن تَابَا وَأَصۡلَحَا فَأَعۡرِضُواْ عَنۡهُمَآۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ تَوَّابٗا رَّحِيمًا ١٦
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Punish both of those among you who are guilty of this sin, then if they repent and mend their ways, leave them alone. For Allah is always ready to accept repentance. He is All-Compassionate.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Aur tum mein se jo is fail ka irtekab karein un dono ko takleef do , phir agar woh tawba karein aur apni islah karlein to unhein chodh do ke Allah bahut tawba qabool karne wala aur reham farmane wala hai
Arabic
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمۡ أَن تَرِثُواْ ٱلنِّسَآءَ كَرۡهٗاۖ وَلَا تَعۡضُلُوهُنَّ لِتَذۡهَبُواْ بِبَعۡضِ مَآ ءَاتَيۡتُمُوهُنَّ إِلَّآ أَن يَأۡتِينَ بِفَٰحِشَةٖ مُّبَيِّنَةٖۚ وَعَاشِرُوهُنَّ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِۚ فَإِن كَرِهۡتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَىٰٓ أَن تَكۡرَهُواْ شَيۡـٔٗا وَيَجۡعَلَ ٱللَّهُ فِيهِ خَيۡرٗا كَثِيرٗا ١٩
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Believers! It is not lawful for you to become heirs to women against their will. It is not lawful that you should put constraint upon them that you may take away anything of what you have given them; (you may not put constraint upon them) unless they are guilty of brazenly immoral conduct. Live with your wives in a good manner. If you dislike them in any manner, it may be that you dislike something in which Allah has placed much good for you.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Aey logon jo iman laye ho, tumhare liye yeh halal nahin hai ke zabardasti auraton ke waris ban baitho aur na yeh halal hai ke unhein tangg karke us mehar ka kuch hissa udha lene ki koshish karo jo tum unhein de chuke ho. Haan agar woh kisi sareeh badh-chalani ki murtakib hon (to zaroor tumhein tangg karne ka haqq hai). Unke saath bhale tareeqe se zindagi basar karo, agar woh tumhein na-pasand hon to ho sakta hai ke ek cheez tumhein pasand na ho magar Allah ne usi mein bahut kuch bhalayi rakh di ho
Arabic
ٱلرِّجَالُ قَوَّٰمُونَ عَلَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ بِمَا فَضَّلَ ٱللَّهُ بَعۡضَهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٖ وَبِمَآ أَنفَقُواْ مِنۡ أَمۡوَٰلِهِمۡۚ فَٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ قَٰنِتَٰتٌ حَٰفِظَٰتٞ لِّلۡغَيۡبِ بِمَا حَفِظَ ٱللَّهُۚ وَٱلَّٰتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَٱهۡجُرُوهُنَّ فِي ٱلۡمَضَاجِعِ وَٱضۡرِبُوهُنَّۖ فَإِنۡ أَطَعۡنَكُمۡ فَلَا تَبۡغُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّ سَبِيلًاۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيّٗا كَبِيرٗا ٣٤
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Men are the protec-tors and maintainers of women because Allah has made one of them excel over the other, and because they spend out of their possessions (to support them). Thus righteous women are obedient and guard the rights of men in their absence under Allah's protection. As for women of whom you fear rebellion, admonish them, and remain apart from them in beds, and beat them. Then if they obey you, do not seek ways to harm them. Allah is Exalted, Great.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Mard auraton par qawwam (protectors and maintainers) hain, is bina par ke Allah ne unmein se ek ko dusre par fazilat di hai, aur is bina par ke Mard apne maal kharch karte hain. Pas jo saleh auratein hain woh itaat shiaar (obedient) hoti hain aur Mardon ke pichey Allah ki hifazat o nigrani mein unke huqooq ki hifazat karti hain. Aur jin auraton se tumhein sarkashi ka andesha ho unhein samjhao, khwabgaahon mein (in beds) unse alaheda (separate) raho aur maaro, phir agar woh tumhari mutii(obedient) ho jayein to khwa ma khwa unpar dast darazi keliye bahane talash (seek ways to harm )na karo. Yaqeen rakkho ke upar Allah maujood hai jo bada aur baalatar hai (Exalted, Great)
Arabic
وَإِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ شِقَاقَ بَيۡنِهِمَا فَٱبۡعَثُواْ حَكَمٗا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِهِۦ وَحَكَمٗا مِّنۡ أَهۡلِهَآ إِن يُرِيدَآ إِصۡلَٰحٗا يُوَفِّقِ ٱللَّهُ بَيۡنَهُمَآۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا خَبِيرٗا ٣٥
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
If you fear a breach between the two, appoint an arbitrator from his people and an arbitrator from her people. If they both want to set things right, Allah will bring about reconciliation between them. Allah knows all, is well aware of everything.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Aur agar tum logon ko kahin miya aur biwi ke taaluqqat bigad janey ka andesha ho to ek hakam (arbitrator) mard ke rishtedaaron mein se aur ek aurat ke rishtedaaron mein se muqarrar karo. Woh dono islah karna chahenge to Allah unke darmiyan muwafiqat ki surat nikal dega. Allah sabkuch jaanta hai aur bakhabar hai
