<h2>Name</h2><p>The Surah takes its name from the word <em>humazah</em> occurring in the <a href="/104/1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">first verse</a>.</p><h2>Period of Revelation</h2><p>All commentators are agreed that it is a Makki Surah; a study of its subject matter and style shows that this too is one of the earliest Surahs to be revealed in Makkah.</p><h2>Theme and Subject Matter</h2><p>In the surah, some of the evils prevalent among the materialistic hoarders of wealth in the pre-Islamic days have been condemned. Every Arab knew that these evils genuinely existed in their society; they regarded them as evils and nobody thought they were good. After Allah calls attention to this kind of ugly character, the ultimate end in the Hereafter of the people with this kind of character has been stated. Both these things (i.e. the character and his fate in the Hereafter) have been depicted in a way which makes the listener automatically reach the conclusion that such a man deserves to meet such an end, and since people of such character do not suffer any punishment in the world, but seem to be thriving instead, the occurrence of the Hereafter becomes absolutely inevitable.</p><p>If this Surah is read in the sequence of the Surahs beginning with Az-Zilzal, one can fully understand how the fundamental beliefs of Islam and its teachings were impressed on the people's minds in the earliest stages in Makkah. In Surah Az-Zilzal, it was said that in the Hereafter man's full record will be placed before him and not an atom's weight of good or evil done by him in the world will have been left unrecorded. In Surah Al-Adiyat, attention was drawn to the plunder and loot, bloodshed and vandalism, prevailing in Arabia before Islam; making the people realize that the way the powers given by God were being abused was indeed an expression of sheer ingratitude to Him. They were told that the matter would not end up in the world, but in the second life after death with not only their deeds but their intentions and motives also being examined. They were informed that their Lord fully well knows which of them deserves reward or punishment. In Surah Al-Qariah after depicting Resurrection, the people were warned that in the Hereafter a man's good or evil end will be dependent on whether the scale of his good deeds was heavier, or the scale of his evil deeds was; in Surah At-Takathur the people were taken to task for the materialistic mentality due to which they remained occupied in seeking increase in worldly benefits, pleasures, comforts and position, and in vying with one another for abundance of everything until death overtook them. Then, warning them of the evil consequences of their heedlessness, they were told that the world was not an open table of food for them to pick and choose whatever they pleased, but for every single blessing that they were enjoying in the world, they would have to render an account to their Lord and Sustainer as to how they obtained it and how they used it. In Surah Al-Asr, it was declared that each member, each group and each community of mankind, even the entire world of humanity, was in manifest loss, if its members were devoid of Faith and righteous deeds and of the practice of exhorting others to truth and patience. Immediately after this comes Surah Al-Humazah, in which after presenting a specimen of leadership of the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, the people have been asked the question: "What should such a character deserve if not loss and perdition?"</p>

Surah At-Talaq · The Divorce

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

  1. Ayah 1

    بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَ ۖ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ ۖ لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِن بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّا أَن يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُّبَيِّنَةٍ ۚ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ ۚ لَا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ أَمْرًا

    O Prophet, wenn ihr euch von Frauen scheidet, dann scheidet euch von ihnen auf ihre Wartezeit hin, und berechnet die Wartezeit. Und fürchtet Allah, euren Herrn. Weist sie nicht aus ihren Häusern aus; sie sollen auch nicht selbst ausziehen, außer, sie begehen etwas klar Abscheuliches. Dies sind Allahs Grenzen

  2. Ayah 2

    فَإِذَا بَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ فَارِقُوهُنَّ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَأَشْهِدُوا ذَوَيْ عَدْلٍ مِّنكُمْ وَأَقِيمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ لِلَّهِ ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ يُوعَظُ بِهِ مَن كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا

    Wer aber Allahs Grenzen übertritt, der fügt sich ja selbst Unrecht zu. Du weißt nicht, vielleicht führt Allah danach eine neue Lage herbei. Wenn sie dann ihre Frist erreichen, so behaltet sie in rechtlicher Weise oder trennt euch von ihnen in rechtlicher Weise. Und nehmt zwei gerechte Personen von euch zu Zeugen, und legt das Zeugnis (in Aufrichtigkeit) um Allahs willen ab. Damit wird ermahnt, wer an Allah und den Jüngsten Tag glaubt. Und wer Allah fürchtet, dem schafft Er einen Ausweg

  3. Ayah 3

    وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَالِغُ أَمْرِهِ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْرًا

    und gewährt ihm Versorgung, von wo (aus) er damit nicht rechnet. Und wer sich auf Allah verläßt, dem ist Er seine Genüge. Allah wird gewiß (die Durchführung) seine(r) Angelegenheit erreichen. Allah legt ja für alles ein Maß fest.

  4. Ayah 4

    وَاللَّائِي يَئِسْنَ مِنَ الْمَحِيضِ مِن نِّسَائِكُمْ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ فَعِدَّتُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَاللَّائِي لَمْ يَحِضْنَ ۚ وَأُولَاتُ الْأَحْمَالِ أَجَلُهُنَّ أَن يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُسْرًا

    Und diejenigen von euren Frauen, die keine Monatsblutung mehr erwarten, wenn ihr im Zweifel seid, so ist ihre Wartezeit drei Monate; und ebenso derjenigen, die (noch) keine Monatsblutung haben. Diejenigen, die schwanger sind - ihre Frist ist (erreicht), wenn sie mit dem niederkommen, was sie (in ihren Leibern) tragen. Und wer Allah fürchtet, dem schafft Er in seiner Angelegenheit Erleichterung.

  5. Ayah 5

    ذَٰلِكَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ أَنزَلَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يُكَفِّرْ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ وَيُعْظِمْ لَهُ أَجْرًا

    Das ist Allahs Anordnung, die Er zu euch (als Offenbarung) herabgesandt hat. Und wer Allah fürchtet, dem tilgt Er seine bösen Taten und dem gewährt Er großartigen Lohn.

  6. Ayah 6

    أَسْكِنُوهُنَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ سَكَنتُم مِّن وُجْدِكُمْ وَلَا تُضَارُّوهُنَّ لِتُضَيِّقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن كُنَّ أُولَاتِ حَمْلٍ فَأَنفِقُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ حَتَّىٰ يَضَعْنَ حَمْلَهُنَّ ۚ فَإِنْ أَرْضَعْنَ لَكُمْ فَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ ۖ وَأْتَمِرُوا بَيْنَكُم بِمَعْرُوفٍ ۖ وَإِن تَعَاسَرْتُمْ فَسَتُرْضِعُ لَهُ أُخْرَىٰ

    Laßt sie dort wohnen, wo ihr (selbst) wohnt, von dem, was ihr euch leisten könnt. Und fügt ihnen keinen Schaden zu, um sie in die Enge zu treiben. Und wenn sie schwanger sind, dann gebt für sie (das Nötige) aus, bis sie mit dem niederkommen, was sie (in ihren Leibern) tragen. Wenn sie für euch (das Kind) stillen, dann gebt ihnen ihren Lohn, und beratet untereinander (darüber) in rechtlicher Weise. Wenn ihr aber einander Schwierigkeiten bereitet, dann wird (das Kind) für ihn eine andere stillen.

  7. Ayah 7

    لِيُنفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِّن سَعَتِهِ ۖ وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ فَلْيُنفِقْ مِمَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ ۚ لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا مَا آتَاهَا ۚ سَيَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا

    Der Wohlhabende soll entsprechend seinem Wohlstand (die Aufwendungen) ausgeben. Und wem seine Versorgung bemessen (zugeteilt) wurde, der soll (eben) von dem ausgeben, was Allah ihm gegeben hat. Allah erlegt keiner Seele mehr auf als das, was Er ihr gegeben hat. Allah wird nach Schwierigkeit Erleichterung schaffen.

  8. Ayah 8

    وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهَا وَرُسُلِهِ فَحَاسَبْنَاهَا حِسَابًا شَدِيدًا وَعَذَّبْنَاهَا عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا

    Und wieviele Städte lehnten sich gegen den Befehl ihres Herrn und Seiner Gesandten auf, worauf Wir sie einer strengen Abrechnung unterzogen und mit entsetzlicher Strafe straften.

  9. Ayah 9

    فَذَاقَتْ وَبَالَ أَمْرِهَا وَكَانَ عَاقِبَةُ أَمْرِهَا خُسْرًا

    Da kosteten sie die schlimmen Folgen ihres Verhaltens, und das Ende ihres Verhaltens war (nur) Verlust.

  10. Ayah 10

    أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا ۖ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ يَا أُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۚ قَدْ أَنزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكُمْ ذِكْرًا

    Allah hat für sie strenge Strafe bereitet. So fürchtet Allah, o die ihr Verstand besitzt und die ihr glaubt. Allah hat ja zu euch eine Ermahnung (als Offenbarung) herabgesandt,

  11. Ayah 11

    رَّسُولًا يَتْلُو عَلَيْكُمْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ مُبَيِّنَاتٍ لِّيُخْرِجَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ ۚ وَمَن يُؤْمِن بِاللَّهِ وَيَعْمَلْ صَالِحًا يُدْخِلْهُ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ۖ قَدْ أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ لَهُ رِزْقًا

    einen Gesandten, der euch Allahs Zeichen verliest, die alles klar machen, um diejenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, aus den Finsternissen ins Licht hinauszubringen. Und wer an Allah glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt, den wird Er in Gärten eingehen lassen, durcheilt von Bächen, ewig und auf immer darin zu bleiben. Allah hat ihm (damit) ja eine schöne Versorgung gewährt.

  12. Ayah 12

    اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا

    Allah ist es, Der sieben Himmel erschaffen hat, und von der Erde gleich (viel). Der Befehl (Allahs) kommt wahrhaftig zwischen ihnen herab, damit ihr wißt, daß Allah zu allem die Macht hat und daß Allah ja alles mit Seinem Wissen umfaßt.

Meccan Surahs

The Meccan Surahs are the earliest revelations sent down to the Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم). They were revealed in Mecca, hence their name. These revelations form the foundation of the Islamic faith and contain guidance for Muslims on how to live their lives. The Meccan Surahs are also notable for their poetic beauty and lyrical prose.

Medinan Surahs

The Medinan Surahs are the later Surahs that, according to Islamic tradition, were revealed in Medina after the Prophet Muhammad's (صلى الله عليه وسلم) hijra from Mecca. They were revealed by Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) when the Muslim community was larger and more developed, as opposed to their minority position in Mecca.
