The Aya says:
And the ones that die amongst you and leave spouses. They (the female spouses) wait by themselves four months and ten (days). So, if/when they reach their time, then there is no tilt to error on you (plural), in what they did in themselves by the appropriate. And Allah, in what you do, is well informed.

My personal note:
This Aya tells us that the women will have to wait four months and ten days after the death of their husbands, before they move on with their decisions, especially the decision to remarry.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waallatheena: And those that
Yutawaffawna: die/are fulfilled
Note: the root is W-F-Y and it means fulfillment of anything or any entity. This is taken to mean death at times because the death means that life has been fulfilled. YUTAWAFFAWNA is the third person plural present or future tense of a verb that is derived from the root. This verb means they are becoming fulfilled and that in turn means? They die.
Minkum: from you/of you (plural you)

Yatarabbasna: they enter waiting
Note: the root is R-B-Sad and it means waiting or wait. YATARABBASNA is the third person plural feminine present tense of a verb that is derived from the root. This form of the verb suggests being in the action and out of the action at the same time. It is used to mean entering into the action, hesitating into the action and at times repeatedly entering the action and out of it. In this sense, it means entering into waiting or period of waiting.
Bianfusihinna: by themselves
Note: BI is very difficult to translate. It denotes that the word coming after it is the object of the verb before and /or a tool. In this context, it is an object mainly but with a closer association as to emphasize the action. ANFUSIHINNA is derived from the root N-F-S and it means breath or breathing. This is also used to mean the self because the self breathes. ANFUSIHINNA are their selves or themselves and it is plural feminine.

The Aya says:
And the women who gave birth, they breast feed their children two complete years to who wanted to complete the breast feeding. And, the father is obligated the women’s provision and clothing by the appropriate. No self is obligated except her capacity, mother is not harmed by her child and father is not harmed by his child, and the inheritor is obligated similarly. So, if the two wanted separation out of mutual acceptance and consultation, then no tilt to error on them. And if you (plural) wanted to seek breast feeding for your children, then there is no tilt to error on you if you delivered what you brought by the appropriate. And be conscious of Allah, and know that Allah in what you do, viewing.

My personal note:

وَإِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِّسَاء فَبَلَغْنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَلاَ تَعْضُلُوهُنَّ أَن يَنكِحْنَ أَزْوَاجَهُنَّ إِذَا تَرَاضَوْاْ بَيْنَهُم بِالْمَعْرُوفِ ذَلِكَ يُوعَظُ بِهِ مَن كَانَ مِنكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ ذَلِكُمْ أَزْكَى لَكُمْ وَأَطْهَرُ وَاللّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ

The Aya says:
And if/when you (plural) divorced the women, so they reached their time. Then do not prevent them from marrying their husbands if they mutually, lovingly accepted between them by the appropriate. That is advice for those who are safe in GOD and the day of judgement amongst you. That (practice of non prevention of subsequent marriage of women) is more fruitful to you (plural) and cleaner, and Allah knows and you (plural) don’t know.

My personal note:
The Aya talks that one should not force the women from marrying again whether their old husbands or new ones as long as the woman and the man have mutually accepted each other in the loving manner. The Aya says that this is advice to the ones that believe in GOD and the day of judgement, and that is cleaner and purer and more fruitful. GOD reminds us that he knows and that we don’t know.

“That is advice for those who are safe in GOD and the day of judgement amongst you.” This is not a word to word translation, but I did it this way because the word to word translation would have been relatively difficult to understand with the potential of reaching wrong conclusions.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waitha: and if/when

Waalyawmi: and the day
Note: WA means and. ALYAWMI is derived from the root Y-W-M and it means day. ALYAWMI means the day or the day of.

The Aya says:
And if/when you divorced the women, so they reached their time, so hold on to them by what is recognized as appropriate or let them go by what is recognized as appropriate.

And be conscious of Allah and know that Allah, in every entity, knowing.

My personal note:

The Aya says:
Therefore, if he divorced her, then she will not be permissible to him from after (that) until she marries another husband. So, if he (the other husband) divorced her, then there is no tilt to error on the two of them that they return to each other if they thought that they will uphold the limits of Allah. And those are the limits of Allah, He makes them clear/clarified to people who know/become knowing.

My personal note:
This continues the theme from the previous Aya. It mentions that if a man divorced his wife after the previous two passes/times, then he cannot marry her back until she marries another man and divorce him.

The Aya says:
The Divorce is two passes, so either holding on with what is recognized as appropriate or letting go with goodness. And, it is not permitted to you (husbands) that you take of what you have given them (wives), something, unless they both fear that they will not uphold the limits of Allah. So, if you feared that the two will not uphold the limits of Allah, then there is no tilt to error on the two of them in what she paid to leave. Those are the limits of Allah, therefore do not overstep them, and who oversteps the limits of Allah, then those are the ones who misplace right and wrong.

My note:
The Aya gives more instructions of the marriage and the divorce. It asks that the man should not take from the woman anything of what he gave her unless there was fear that sticking to this rule may cause more harm than good. In that case, then it is permitted for the woman to pay something in return to receive her divorce.

The Aya ends with the warning that GOD’ s limits should never be crossed.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Alttalaqu: the divorce/the letting go (of each other)
Note: the root is TTa-L-Qaf and it means labor pain attack in the concrete form. In the abstract, it means anything that involves the letting go of something as in the labor process let’s go of the baby from the inside. ALTTALAQA is the letting go and in the case of marriage, it is the divorce.
Marratani: two passes/two times
Note: the root is M-R-R and it means passing or passage. Some of the concrete words from this root mean bitter plants or just bitter.

MARRATANI means two passes and this in turn means, two times.
Faimsakun: therefore holding

This Aya 2:228
وَالْمُطَلَّقَاتُ يَتَرَبَّصْنَ بِأَنفُسِهِنَّ ثَلاَثَةَ قُرُوَءٍ وَلاَ يَحِلُّ لَهُنَّ أَن يَكْتُمْنَ مَا خَلَقَ اللّهُ فِي أَرْحَامِهِنَّ إِن كُنَّ يُؤْمِنَّ بِاللّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَبُعُولَتُهُنَّ أَحَقُّ بِرَدِّهِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ إِنْ أَرَادُواْ إِصْلاَحًا وَلَهُنَّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلِلرِّجَالِ عَلَيْهِنَّ دَرَجَةٌ وَاللّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكُيمٌ

The Aya says:
And the divorced women will wait by themselves three menstrual cycles. And, it is not permitted to them that they hide what GOD created in their wombs, if they made themselves safe in Allah and the day of judgement. And their husbands have more right in returning them back in this (possible pregnancy) if they wanted reconciliation. And to them (the divorced women) similar to what is on them, by what is recognized as appropriate. And to the men on them (the divorced women) a level, and Allah is strong, resistant to pressure, wise.

My personal note:
This Aya asks the women that are divorced to have a waiting period of three menstrual cycles before the divorce is finalized. They should not hide a pregnancy, because that may be a reason why the husband may want to reconcile and return them back.

The ending is difficult to translate. It mentioned that women have the similar rights as obligation and that men have a right on the women a level. This therefore indicates that the women have similar rights on the men in return.

It could be understood that the rights of the men on the women are different in nature, and that is the meaning of the word level here. So, while the obligations of men to women are different from the obligations of women to men, they equal each other in their importance.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Waalmutallaqatu: and the women who were divorced /let go
Note: the root is TTa-L-Qaf and it means labor pain attack in the concrete form. In the abstract, it means anything that involves the letting go of something as in the labor process let’s go of the baby from the inside. ALMUTALLAQAT are the women who were divorced or let go.

Bianfusihinna: by themselves
Note: BI is very difficult to translate. It denotes that the word coming after it is the object of the verb before and /or a tool.

This is also used to mean the self because the self breathes. ANFUSIHINNA are their selves or themselves and it is plural feminine. So, BIANFUSIHINNA means by themselves with some emphasis that they are going to be alone without their husbands at that period.
Thalathata: three
Qurooin: menstrual cycles
Note: the root is Qaf-R-Hamza and it means reading in some aspects and menses in others. The common theme that connects the two is the fact that the menses and the reading are two things that come out of orifices of the body. In this sense QUROOIN are menstruations or cycles.

The Aya says:
To those who seek to stay away from their wives, a period of waiting of four months. Therefore if they returned to shading (each other), then Allah is forgiving, merciful.

My personal note:
This Aya mentions that the men that want to leave their wives have to wait four months before finalizing this process.

The word for returning back that was used was FAOO and it means they became shading or they arrived shading. This means that men provide the shade for their wives. It also holds within it the meaning that the women provide the shade to their men. This is a powerful statement in the desert of Arabia where the shade is something powerful and beautiful.

Translation of the transliterated words:
Lillatheena: to those that

Note: Note: the word means their women. It has two potential roots that may be related to it. The first N-S-Y and it is the one used for women. This same root is used for the sciatic nerve as a concrete word and for forgetting. The relation between the different meanings is only in an indirect manner. Another root is N-S-Hamza and it means putting things behind in time or space of delaying things. Concrete words are the women that have a delay in the menses because of possibility of pregnancy. NISA means women of. HIM is the plural them, therefore NISAIHIM means their women or, in this case, their wives.

Note: the root is R-B-Sad and it means waiting or wait. TARABBUSU means waiting or period of waiting.

La yuakhithukumu Allahu biallaghwi fee aymanikum walakin yuakhithukum bima kasabat quloobukum waAllahu ghafoorun haleemun

The Aya says:
Allah does not hold you accountable for what does not count of your oaths. But He holds you accountable for what your hearts collected. And Allah is forgiving, kind.

My personal note:
This Aya is talking about that what is not counted of our oaths we will not be held accountable to. This means the oaths that we did and cancelled for a good reason related to humanity, or that the oath does not count in the first place as in not affecting anything. However, GOD holds us responsible for what our hearts earn and therefore we have to be clear that our hearts are clean whenever we make an oath or break it.

Translation of the transliterated words:
La: Not
Yuakhithukumu: will HE take you for what you took him/Will HE hold you accountable
Note: the root is Hamza-KH-TH and it means taking. YUAKHITHU is the third person singular present or future tense of a verb that is derived from the root. This verb suggests an interactive form and means HE becomes taking opposite taking. KUMU is the plural you. So, YUAKHITHUKUMU means HE becomes taking you for what you took him in a literal fashion and that means HE holds you accountable.

وَلاَ تَجْعَلُواْ اللّهَ عُرْضَةً لِّأَيْمَانِكُمْ أَن تَبَرُّواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ وَتُصْلِحُواْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَاللّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
Wala tajAAaloo Allaha AAurdatan liaymanikum an tabarroo watattaqoo watuslihoo bayna alnnasi waAllahu sameeAAun AAaleemun

The Aya says:
And do not make Allah in the path of your oaths,that you be firmly grounded and be conscious and be reconciling between the people. And Allah is all listening, all knowing.

My personal note:
The word AAuRDATAN which I translated as, in the path of, is a difficult word to translate. It means put in width, which denotes that when the width of the car is parked in the middle or the road, it become an obstacle, but also more likely to be hit by other cars. So, Making GOD be in width to our oaths, means that making GOD an obstacle as using GOD as an excuse to not fulfill an oath. At the same time, it also can mean using GOD’s name for an oath that a person does not plan to fulfill or an oath that a person should not have made in the first place.

So, in a certain sense, the Aya asks us not to use GOD for many oaths. This becomes important in case the oath that we made was one that we should not have made in the first place, as in an oath that will lead to more harm than good, so that breaking it may be better than meeting it, even if one used GOD’s name on it.

The Aya makes it important that we stand on firm grounding, that we be conscious and that we work on reconciliation. Those are the important principles of a Muslim.

There will be more elaboration on this in the coming Aya.

Translation of the transliterated words:

This is the literal sense and it then means stand as an obstacle or stand in the way being both as obstacle and being exposed.
Liaymanikum: to your oaths
Note: LI means to. AYMANIKUM is derived from the root Y-M-N and it means right hand or right side. AYMANI are the plural for right hand or right side.

نِسَآؤُكُمْ حَرْثٌ لَّكُمْ فَأْتُواْ حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ وَقَدِّمُواْ لأَنفُسِكُمْ وَاتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّكُم مُّلاَقُوهُ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Nisaokum harthun lakum fatoo harthakum anna shitum waqaddimoo lianfusikum waittaqoo Allaha waiAAlamoo annakum mulaqoohu wabashshiri almumineena

The Aya says:
Your women/wives are crops for you. Therefore come to your crops from wherever you (plural) will, and forward to yourselves (good deeds), and be conscious of Allah and know that you (plural) are meeting him, and bring (Muhammad) good news to the ones that make themselves safe (in GOD).

My personal note:
The Aya talks about the relationship between man and woman is like the relationship between the farmer and his crop. If the farmer nurtured the crop, the crop will nurture him back, and if the farmer did not take care of his crop, then the crop will not take care of the farmer. Both need each other and nurture each other in an important partnership.

I do have to point out that traditional Tafseers look at Harth as the product of the sexual relationship between man and woman in producing kids, the crop. So, they would allow men and women to have sex in any sexual position that allows childbearing.

The other thing that I need to point out is that both understandings are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
