2:232

Salaam all,

This is 2:232
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
Waitha tallaqtumu alnnisaa fabalaghna ajalahunna fala taAAduloohunna an yankihna azwajahunna itha taradaw baynahum bialmaAAroofi thalika yooAAathu bihi man kana minkum yuminu biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri thalikum azka lakum waatharu waAllahu yaAAlamu waantum la taAAlamoona

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
Tallaqtumu: you divorced
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. TALLAQTUMU is the second person plural masculine past tense of a verb that is derived from this root. This verb means: you made arrive letting go or you made arrive divorce. This in turn means: you divorced.
Alnnisaa: the women
Note: the word means the 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.

Note: FA means so or therefore. BALAGHNA is derived from the root B-L-GH and it means in concrete a child that became adult and therefore reached maturity.

AJALUHUNNA is their time. Or, the coming together of their time.
Fala: therefore not
taAAduloohunna: prevent them/muscle them away/force them away
Note: the root is Ain-Dhad-L and it means muscle for the concrete and another concrete meaning is the female that becomes unable to deliver the baby because of complication of the labor.

azwajahunna: husbands/mates/ones with whom they are united
Note: the root is Z-W-J and it means when two or more things or people form a unit. This unit is the unit of marriage or anything that unites them as being very close as to be rarely separate or sharing a common feature. AZWAJA is literally the plural of someone with whom one is united. These are then husbands or a mates of. HUNNA is the feminine them. So AZWAJAHUNNA are their husbands or mates.
Itha: if/when or if and when at the same time.
Taradaw: they mutually accepted lovingly
