Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

remember Allah,
as He taught you
what you did not know.
240 Those of you who die
leaving wives
shall bequeath for their wives
providing for a year,
without turning them out;
but if they leave, there is no sin upon you
in respect of what they may do with themselves
observing honourable norms.
And Allah is all-mighty, all-wise.
241 For the divorced women there shall be a provision,
in accordance with honourable norms
— an obligation on the Godwary.
242 Thus does Allah clarify His signs to you
so that you may apply reason.

243 Have you not regarded those who left their homes
in thousands, apprehensive of death,
whereupon Allah said to them, ‘Die,’
then He revived them?
Indeed Allah is gracious to mankind,
but most people do not give thanks.

244 Fight in the way of Allah,
and know that Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.

245 Who is it that will lend Allah a good loan
that He may multiply it for him severalfold?
