Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And when you have divorced women, and their term reaches
its end, either retain them on good terms within this period
or release them with kindness; and do not retain them in order
to hurt them, hence transgressing the limits; and he who does
so harms only himself; and do not make the signs of Allah the
objects of ridicule; and remember Allah's favour that is
bestowed upon you and that He has sent down to you the Book
and wisdom, for your guidance; keep fearing Allah and know
well that Allah knows everything. (The traditions of the Holy
Prophet - sunnah and hadith - are called wisdom.)
Yusuf Ali:
When ye divorce women, and they fulfil the term of their
('Iddat), either take them back on equitable terms or set them free on
equitable terms; but do not take them back to injure them, (or) to take
undue advantage; if any one does that; He wrongs his own soul. Do not treat
Allah's Signs as a jest, but solemnly rehearse Allah's favours on you, and the
fact that He sent down to you the Book and Wisdom, for your instruction.
And fear Allah, and know that Allah is well acquainted with all things.
Pickthal:
When ye have divorced women, and they have reached their term,
then retain them in kindness or release them in kindness. Retain them not
to their hurt so that ye transgress (the limits). He who doeth that hath
wronged his soul. Make not the revelations of Allah a laughing-stock (by
your behaviour), but remember Allah's grace upon you and that which He hath
revealed unto you of the Scripture and of wisdom, whereby He doth exhort
you. Observe your duty to Allah and know that Allah is Aware of all
things.
