Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
002.236
Y: There is no blame on you if ye divorce women before consummation or
the fixation of their dower; but bestow on them (A suitable gift), the
wealthy according to his means, and the poor according to his means;- A
gift of a reasonable amount is due from those who wish to do the right
thing.
P: It is no sin for you if ye divorce women while yet ye have not
touched them, nor appointed unto them a portion. Provide for them, the
rich according to his means, and the straitened according to his means,
a fair provision. (This is) a bounden duty for those who do good.
S: There is no blame on you if you divorce women when you have not
touched them or appointed for them a portion, and make provision for
them, the wealthy according to his means and the straitened in
circumstances according to his means, a provision according to usage;
(this is) a duty on the doers of good (to others).
002.237
Y: And if ye divorce them before consummation, but after the fixation of
a dower for them, then the half of the dower (Is due to them), unless
they remit it or (the man's half) is remitted by him in whose hands is
the marriage tie; and the remission (of the man's half) is the nearest
to righteousness. And do not forget Liberality between yourselves. For
Allah sees well all that ye do.
P: If ye divorce them before ye have touched them and ye have appointed
unto them a portion, then (pay the) half of that which ye appointed,
unless they (the women) agree to forgo it, or he agreeth to forgo it in
whose hand is the marriage tie. To forgo is nearer to piety. And forget
not kindness among yourselves. Allah is Seer of what ye do.
S: And if you divorce them before you have touched them and you have
appointed for them a portion, then (pay to them) half of what you have
appointed, unless they relinquish or he should relinquish in whose hand
is the marriage tie; and it is nearer to righteousness that you should
relinquish; and do not neglect the giving of free gifts between you;
surely Allah sees what you do.
002.238
Y: Guard strictly your (habit of) prayers, especially the Middle Prayer;
and stand before Allah in a devout (frame of mind).
P: Be guardians of your prayers, and of the midmost prayer, and stand up
with devotion to Allah.
S: Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer and stand up
truly obedient to Allah.
002.239
Y: If ye fear (an enemy), pray on foot, or riding, (as may be most
convenient), but when ye are in security, celebrate Allah's praises in
the manner He has taught you, which ye knew not (before).
P: And if ye go in fear, then (pray) standing or on horseback. And when
ye are again in safety, remember Allah, as He hath taught you that
which (heretofore) ye knew not.
S: But if you are in danger, then (say your prayers) on foot or on
horseback; and when you are secure, then remember Allah, as. He has
taught you what you did not know.
