What is the step by step process of Divorce in Islam and its time period?

قرآن میں طلاق کا مرحلہ وار طریقہ اور دینے کا دورانیہ کیا ہے؟

Arabic
لِّلَّذِينَ يُؤۡلُونَ مِن نِّسَآئِهِمۡ تَرَبُّصُ أَرۡبَعَةِ أَشۡهُرٖۖ فَإِن فَآءُو فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٢٢٦
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
For those who vow abstinence from their wives there is a respite of four months. Then, if they go back on their vow they will find that Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Jo log apni auraton se taaluq na rakhne ki kasam kha baithey hain unke liye char mahine ki mohlat hai, agar unhon ne rujoo karliya to Allah maaf karne wala aur Raheem hai
Arabic
وَإِنۡ عَزَمُواْ ٱلطَّلَٰقَ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٞ ٢٢٧
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
And if they resolve on divorce, surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Aur agar unhon ne talaq hi ki thaan li ho to jaane rahein ke Allah sabkuch sunta aur jaanta hai
Arabic
وَٱلۡمُطَلَّقَٰتُ يَتَرَبَّصۡنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ ثَلَٰثَةَ قُرُوٓءٖۚ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ أَن يَكۡتُمۡنَ مَا خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ فِيٓ أَرۡحَامِهِنَّ إِن كُنَّ يُؤۡمِنَّ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِۚ وَبُعُولَتُهُنَّ أَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ إِنۡ أَرَادُوٓاْ إِصۡلَٰحٗاۚ وَلَهُنَّ مِثۡلُ ٱلَّذِي عَلَيۡهِنَّ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِۚ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيۡهِنَّ دَرَجَةٞۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ ٢٢٨
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Divorced women shall keep themselves in waiting for three menstrual courses and it is unlawful for them, if they believe in Allah and the Last Day, to hide whatever Allah might have created in their wombs. Should their husbands desire reconciliation during this time they are entitled to take them back into wedlock. Women have the same rights against their men as men have against them; but men have a degree above them. Allah is All- Powerful, All-Wise.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Jin auraton ko talaq di gayi ho woh teen martaba ayaam e mahwari aane tak apne aap ko rokey rakkhein aur unke liye yeh jayiz nahin hai ke Allah ne unke reham (womb) mein jo kuch khalq (paida) farmaya ho usey chupayein. Unhein hargiz aisa na karna chahiye agar woh Allah aur roz e aakhir par iman rakhti hain. Unke shohar taaluqaat durust karlene par aamada hon to woh is iddat ke dauraan mein unhein phir apni zawjiyat mein wapas le lene ke haqdaar hain. Auraton ke liye bhi maroof tareeqe par waise hi huqooq hain jaise Mardon ke huqooq unpar hain. Albatta Mardon ko unpar ek darja hasil hai aur sab par Allah gaalib iqtedar rakhne wala aur hakeem o dana maujood hai
Arabic
ٱلطَّلَٰقُ مَرَّتَانِۖ فَإِمۡسَاكُۢ بِمَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ تَسۡرِيحُۢ بِإِحۡسَٰنٖۗ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمۡ أَن تَأۡخُذُواْ مِمَّآ ءَاتَيۡتُمُوهُنَّ شَيۡـًٔا إِلَّآ أَن يَخَافَآ أَلَّا يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِۖ فَإِنۡ خِفۡتُمۡ أَلَّا يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡهِمَا فِيمَا ٱفۡتَدَتۡ بِهِۦۗ تِلۡكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ فَلَا تَعۡتَدُوهَاۚ وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ فَأُوْلَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٢٢٩
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Divorce can be pronounced twice: then, either honourable retention or kindly release should follow. (While dissolving the marriage tie) it is unlawful for you to take back anything of what you have given to your wives unless both fear that they may not be able to keep within the bounds set by Allah. Then, if they fear that they might not be able to keep within the bounds set by Allah, there is no blame upon them for what the wife might give away of her property to become released from the marriage tie. These are the bounds set by Allah; do not transgress them. Those of you who transgress the bounds set by Allah are indeed the wrong-doers.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Talaq do baar hai, phir ya to seedhi tarah aurat ko rok liya jaye ya bhale tareeqe se usko rukhsat kardiya jaye, aur rukhsat karte huey aisa karna tumhare liye jayiz nahin hai ke jo kuch tum unhein de chuke ho, usmein se kuch wapas lelo, albatta yeh surat mustasna hai ke zawjain ko Allah ke hudood par qayam na reh sakne ka andesha ho, aisi surat mein agar tumhein yeh khauf ho ke woh dono hudood e ilahi par qayam na rahenge, to un dono ke darmiyan yeh maamla ho janey mein muzahiqa nahin ke aurat apne shohar ko kuch muawaza dekar alaidagi (seperation) hasil karle, yeh Allah ke muqarrar karda huddod hain, inse tajawuz na karo, aur jo log hudood e ilahi se tajawuz karein wahi zalim hain
Arabic
فَإِن طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعۡدُ حَتَّىٰ تَنكِحَ زَوۡجًا غَيۡرَهُۥۗ فَإِن طَلَّقَهَا فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡهِمَآ أَن يَتَرَاجَعَآ إِن ظَنَّآ أَن يُقِيمَا حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِۗ وَتِلۡكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِ يُبَيِّنُهَا لِقَوۡمٖ يَعۡلَمُونَ ٢٣٠
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Then, if he divorces her (for the third time, after having pronounced the divorce twice), she shall not be lawful to him unless she first takes another man for a husband, and he divorces her. There is no blame upon them if both of them return to one another thereafter, provided they think that they will be able to keep within the bounds set by Allah. These are the bounds of Allah which He makes clear to a people who have knowledge (of the consequences of violating those bounds).
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Phir agar (do baar talaq dene ke baad shohar ne aurat ko teesri baar) talaq de di to woh aurat phir uske liye halal na hogi, illa yeh ke uska Nikah kisi dusre shaks se ho aur woh usey talaq dede, tab agar pehla shohar aur yeh aurat dono yeh khayal karein ke hudood e ilahi par qayam rahenge, to unke liye ek dusre ki taraf rujoo karlene mein koi muzahiqa nahin. Yeh Allah ki muqarrar karda hadein hain jinhein woh un logon ki hidayat ke liye wazey kar raha hai jo (uski hudood ko todne ka anjaam) jaante hain
Arabic
وَإِذَا طَلَّقۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَبَلَغۡنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمۡسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ سَرِّحُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٖۚ وَلَا تُمۡسِكُوهُنَّ ضِرَارٗا لِّتَعۡتَدُواْۚ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٰلِكَ فَقَدۡ ظَلَمَ نَفۡسَهُۥۚ وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ هُزُوٗاۚ وَٱذۡكُرُواْ نِعۡمَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَمَآ أَنزَلَ عَلَيۡكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبِ وَٱلۡحِكۡمَةِ يَعِظُكُم بِهِۦۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيۡءٍ عَلِيمٞ ٢٣١
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
And so, when you divorce women and they reach the end of their waiting term, then either retain them in a fair manner or let them go in a fair manner. And do not retain them to their hurt or by way of transgression; whosoever will do that will indeed wrong himself. Do not take the Signs of Allah in jest and remember Allah’s favour upon you. He exhorts you to revere the Book and the Wisdom that He has sent down upon you. Fear Allah, and know well that Allah has full knowledge of everything.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Aur jab tum auraton ko talaq dedo aur unki iddat poori honay ko aa jaye, to ya bhale tareeqe se unhein rok lo ya bhale tareeqe se rukhsat kardo, mehaz satane ki khatir unhein na rokey rakhna, yeh zyadati hogi, aur jo aisa karega woh dar haqeeqat aap apne hi upar zulm karega. Allah ki ayaat ka khel na banao, bhool na jao ke Allah ne kis niyamat e uzma se tumhein sarfaraz kiya hai, woh tumhein naseehat karta hai ke jo kitab aur hikmat usne tumpar nazil ki hai, uska ehtaram malhooz rakkho. Allah se daro aur khoob jaan lo ke Allah ko har baat ki khabar hai
Arabic
وَإِذَا طَلَّقۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَبَلَغۡنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلَا تَعۡضُلُوهُنَّ أَن يَنكِحۡنَ أَزۡوَٰجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَٰضَوۡاْ بَيۡنَهُم بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِۗ ذَٰلِكَ يُوعَظُ بِهِۦ مَن كَانَ مِنكُمۡ يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِۗ ذَٰلِكُمۡ أَزۡكَىٰ لَكُمۡ وَأَطۡهَرُۚ وَٱللَّهُ يَعۡلَمُ وَأَنتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ ٢٣٢
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
When you divorce women and they have completed their waiting term do not hinder them from marrying other men if they have agreed to this in a fair manner. That is an admonition to everyone of you who believes in Allah and the Last Day; that is a cleaner and purer way for you. For Allah knows whereas you do not know.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Jab tum apni auraton ko talaq de chuko aur woh apni iddat poori karlein, to phir ismein maney na ho ke woh apne zerey tajweej shoharon se nikah karlein, jab ke woh maroof tareeqe se baham munakihat (marriage) par raazi hon. Tumhein naseehat ki jati hai ke aisi harakat hargiz na karna agar tum Allah aur roz e aakhir par iman laney wale ho, tumhare liye shaishta aur pakeeza tareeqa yahi hai ke issey baaz raho. Allah jaanta hai, tum nahin jaante
Arabic
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحۡصُواْ ٱلۡعِدَّةَۖ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمۡۖ لَا تُخۡرِجُوهُنَّ مِنۢ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخۡرُجۡنَ إِلَّآ أَن يَأۡتِينَ بِفَٰحِشَةٖ مُّبَيِّنَةٖۚ وَتِلۡكَ حُدُودُ ٱللَّهِۚ وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ ٱللَّهِ فَقَدۡ ظَلَمَ نَفۡسَهُۥۚ لَا تَدۡرِي لَعَلَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحۡدِثُ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ أَمۡرٗا ١
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
O Prophet, when you divorce women, divorce them for their waiting-period, and compute the waiting period accurately, and hold Allah, your Lord, in awe. Do not turn them out of their homes (during the waiting period) – nor should they go away (from their homes)– unless they have committed a manifestly evil deed. Such are the bounds set by Allah; and he who transgresses the bounds set by Allah commits a wrong against himself. You do not know: maybe Allah will cause something to happen to pave the way (for reconciliation).
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Aey Nabi, jab tumlog auraton ko talaq do to unhein unki iddat (waiting-period) ke liye talaq diya karo aur iddat ke zamane ka theek theek shumar karo, aur Allah se daro jo tumhara Rubb hai (zamana-e-iddat mein) na tum unhein unke gharon se nikalo aur na woh khud nikle, illa yeh ke woh kisi sareeh burayi ki murtakib ho(manifestly evil deed). Yeh Allah ki muqarrar karda hadein hain, aur jo koi Allah ki hadon (bounds/limits) se tajauz karega woh apne upar khud zulm karega. Tum nahin jaante shayad iske baad Allah (muwafikat/reconciliation ki) koi surat paida karde
Arabic
فَإِذَا بَلَغۡنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمۡسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعۡرُوفٖ وَأَشۡهِدُواْ ذَوَيۡ عَدۡلٖ مِّنكُمۡ وَأَقِيمُواْ ٱلشَّهَٰدَةَ لِلَّهِۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ يُوعَظُ بِهِۦ مَن كَانَ يُؤۡمِنُ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ ٱلۡأٓخِرِۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مَخۡرَجٗا ٢
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
And when they reach the end of their term (of waiting), then either honourably retain them (in the bond of wedlock) or honourably part with them, and call two persons of known probity as witnesses from among yourselves, and (let these witnesses) give upright testimony for the sake of Allah. That is to what all those that believe in Allah and the Last Day are exhorted. Allah will find a way out for him who fears Allah,
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Phir jab woh apni (iddat ki) muddat ke khaatmay par pahunchey to ya unhein bhale tarike se (apne nikah mein ) rok rakkho , ya bhale tarike par unse juda ho jao, aur do aisey aadmiyon ko gawah bana lo jo tum mein se sahib-e-adal hon, aur (aey gawah banne walon)gawahi theek theek Allah ke liye ada karo. Yeh baatein hain jinki tum logon ko nasihat ki jati hai, har us shaks ko jo Allah aur aakhirat ke din par iman rakhta ho. Jo koi Allah se darte huey kaam karega Allah uske liye mushkilat se nikalne ka koi rasta paida kardega
Arabic
وَيَرۡزُقۡهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَحۡتَسِبُۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسۡبُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَٰلِغُ أَمۡرِهِۦۚ قَدۡ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدۡرٗا ٣
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
and will provide him sustenance from whence he never even imagined. Whoever puts his trust in Allah, He shall suffice him. Surely Allah brings about what He decrees; Allah has set a measure for everything.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Aur usey aise raaste se rizq dega jidhar uska guman(imagination) bhi na jata ho. Jo Allah par bharosa karey uske liye woh kafi hai. Allah apna kaam pura karke rehta hai, Allah ne har cheez ke liye ek taqdeer muqarrar kar rakkhi hai
Arabic
وَٱلَّٰٓـِٔي يَئِسۡنَ مِنَ ٱلۡمَحِيضِ مِن نِّسَآئِكُمۡ إِنِ ٱرۡتَبۡتُمۡ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَٰثَةُ أَشۡهُرٖ وَٱلَّٰٓـِٔي لَمۡ يَحِضۡنَۚ وَأُوْلَٰتُ ٱلۡأَحۡمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعۡنَ حَمۡلَهُنَّۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مِنۡ أَمۡرِهِۦ يُسۡرٗا ٤
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
The waiting period of those of your women who have lost all expectation of menstruation shall be three months in case you entertain any doubt; and the same shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated. As for pregnant women, their waiting period shall be until the delivery of their burden. Allah will create ease for him who fears Allah.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Aur tumhari auraton mein se jo haiz(menstruation) se mayous ho chuki hon unke maamle mein agar tum logon ko koi shak lahik hai to ( tumhe maloom ho ke ) unki iddat teen mahiney hai aur yahi hukum unka hai jinhein abhi haiz na aaya ho.Aur haamila(pregnant) aurton ki iddat ki hadd yeh hai ke unka waze hamal(delivery) ho jaye. Jo shakhs Allah se darey uske maamle mein woh sahulat paida kar deta hai
Arabic
ذَٰلِكَ أَمۡرُ ٱللَّهِ أَنزَلَهُۥٓ إِلَيۡكُمۡۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يُكَفِّرۡ عَنۡهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِۦ وَيُعۡظِمۡ لَهُۥٓ أَجۡرًا ٥
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
This is the commandment of Allah that He has revealed to you. Whoever fears Allah, He will expunge his evil deeds and will richly reward him.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Yeh Allah ka hukum hai jo usne tumhari taraf nazil kiya hai. Jo Allah se darega Allah uski buraiyon ko ussey door kardega aur usko bada ajar dega
Arabic
أَسۡكِنُوهُنَّ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ سَكَنتُم مِّن وُجۡدِكُمۡ وَلَا تُضَآرُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّۚ وَإِن كُنَّ أُوْلَٰتِ حَمۡلٖ فَأَنفِقُواْ عَلَيۡهِنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَضَعۡنَ حَمۡلَهُنَّۚ فَإِنۡ أَرۡضَعۡنَ لَكُمۡ فَـَٔاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَأۡتَمِرُواْ بَيۡنَكُم بِمَعۡرُوفٖۖ وَإِن تَعَاسَرۡتُمۡ فَسَتُرۡضِعُ لَهُۥٓ أُخۡرَىٰ ٦
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
(During the waiting period) lodge them according to your means wherever you dwell, and do not harass them to make them miserable. And if they are pregnant, provide for them maintenance until they have delivered their burden. And if they suckle your offspring whom they bore you, then give them due recompense, and graciously settle the question of compensation between yourselves by mutual understanding. But if you experience difficulty (in determining the compensation for suckling) then let another woman suckle the child.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Unko ( zamana-e-iddat mein ) usi jagah rakkho jahan tum rehtey ho, jaisi kuch bhi jagah tumhe muyassar ho, aur unhein tangg karne ke liye unko na satao. Aur agar woh haamila hon to unpar us waqt tak kharch karte raho jab tak unka waze hamal(delivered their burden) na ho jaye. Phir agar woh tumhare liye ( bachhey ko ) doodh pilayein to unki ujrat(recompense) unhein do, aur bhaley tareeqe se ( ujrat ka maamla) bahami guft-o-shaneed se tai karlo. Lekin agar tumne ( ujrat tai karne mein) ek dusrey ko tangg kiya to bachhey ko koi aur aurat doodh pila legi
Arabic
لِيُنفِقۡ ذُو سَعَةٖ مِّن سَعَتِهِۦۖ وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ رِزۡقُهُۥ فَلۡيُنفِقۡ مِمَّآ ءَاتَىٰهُ ٱللَّهُۚ لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفۡسًا إِلَّا مَآ ءَاتَىٰهَاۚ سَيَجۡعَلُ ٱللَّهُ بَعۡدَ عُسۡرٖ يُسۡرٗا ٧
English — A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)
Whoever has abundant means, let him spend according to his means; and he whose means are straitened, let him spend out of what Allah has given him. Allah does not burden any human being beyond the means that He has bestowed upon him. Possibly Allah will grant ease after hardship.
Urdu — Tafheem-ul-Quran, Syed Abul A'la Maududi
Khushaal aadmi apni khushaali ke mutabiq nafqa de, aur jisko rizq kam diya gaya ho woh usi maal mein se kharch karey jo Allah ne usey diya hai. Allah ne jisko jitna kuch diya hai ussey ziyada ka woh usey mukallaf(burden) nahi karta. Baeed(door) nahin ke Allah tangdasti ke baad farakh dasti bhi ataa farmade
