This is about those men who are in a state of separation/detachment/parting from amongst you people [because of natural/accidental death, incidental/planned murder, or slaughter in the cause/war of Allah] while they leave behind wives. Their respective wives should wait/restrain their selves, honestly and sincerely, for a period of four lunar months and ten composite days [till the tenth lunar night].
Thereat/for reason when they have elapsed/terminated/crossed over the last moment of their prescribed duration, thereby there is no objection upon you people in that which they themselves decide/act about their selves in accordance with the known norms of the society. Remain mindful that Allah is informed/aware of all acts which you people are doing. [2:234]
Be aware that there is nothing wrong and blemish worthy upon you people in that which you people subtly indicated your interest to the women [Widows-left behind by their physically deceased/alienated husbands] or kept it secret to your selves.
Allah knows that you will eventually recall/remember them [in your thoughts] but you should not alluringly lead them to mutual promise except that you may say to them a normally acceptable statement in plain words of evident import.
Take note that you people should not make a firm resolve for the Bond of Marriage/Nikkah, until such time the Prescribed Obligatory Period crosses its terminating moment.
Remain always aware of the fact that Allah fully knows that which is retained/hidden in your selves/hearts, therefore always remain mindfully cautious of Him [to adhere to injunctions given]. Moreover, remember/know that Allah is eternally imperturbably over looking/forgiver [of unintentional faults/wrong doings]. [2:235]
And if you divorced [for compelling reasons] them/just-wed wives before that you might have physically established intimate matrimonial association [intercourse] with them,
but you have since determined for them the obligation, thereby in such case half is due of what you had determined. There is no exception to this laid down injunction except if they [newly wed wives] forego or [if the wife was earlier maidservant] that man who has the decision-making right for her Unification bond/giving in marriage.
And if you people forego/ignore, it is comparatively nearer to mindful and restrained conduct. And you people should not forget kindness/generosity with one another. It is a certain fact that Allah, the Exalted, ever keeps watching what acts you people perform. [2:237]
You people guard upon performing prayers [at appointed times] and of middle As-salaa't [middle is always of odd number-third of the five] and you people stand for Allah, the Exalted, like devoted servants. [2:238]
However if you people cannot stand at a location for reason of having suspected danger, thereby performance of As-salaa't [Remember Allah without physical act of standing, bending, prostration] is in the state of walking on foot or journeying on conveyance. Afterwards when you have attained calm and secure state, thereat perform As-salaa't/ remember Allah [in the prescribed manner] like He has taught you that which you people had no knowledge earlier. [2:239]
Those men take note who are in the state of separating/detachment/parting from amongst you people [for taking part in the war/to kill or be killed for the cause of Allah] while they are leaving behind wives. These husbands should bequeath [for their heirs] in favour of their respective wives [in case of their slaughter/or missing in war] that they should be given sustenance for one year without removing them out of the house.
Thereby/for reason [on report of husband’s slaughter in the cause of Allah and on completing period of four months and ten days,] if they themselves leave the house [before one year] thereat nothing contracting/objectionable is upon you people for that act/decision they have taken for their selves in accordance with the known norms of society. Beware of the fact that Allah is the Dominant, The Wise, knower of invisible. [2:240]
Take note that worldly material in accordance with the accepted/known norms of society is also the right for wives under divorce given the [in case of death or slaughter in Allah's cause of their divorcing husbands before completion of their appointed period. Wife has a share in the left over of her husband but to cover this unique situation this injunction]. This is an obligation upon such people who endeavour for ultimate success remaining mindful avoiding unrestrained conduct. [2:241]
This is how Allah, the Exalted, makes His Aa'ya'at [verbal presentation of information, facts and knowledge] distinct/evident/distinguished/each point isolated and crystal clear for the people [for comprehension as was promised to the Messenger Muhammad Sal'lallaa'hoalaih'wa'salam-] so that you people may conveniently save in memory/differentiate/reflect/ponder and analyze. [2:242]
