when ye divorce women and they fulfil the term of their either take them back on equitable terms or set them free on equitable terms but do not take them back to injure them to take undue advantage if any one does that he wrongs his own soul. do not treat allahs signs as a jest but solemnly rehearse allahs favours on you and the fact that he sent down to you the book and wisdom for your instruction. and fear allah and know that allah is well acquainted with all things.
وإذا طلقتم النساء فبلغن أجلهن فأمسكوهن بمعروف أو سرحوهن بمعروف ولا تمسكوهن ضرارا لتعتدوا ومن يفعل ذلك فقد ظلم نفسه ولا تتخذوا آيات الله هزوا واذكروا نعمت الله عليكم وما أنزل عليكم من الكتاب والحكمة يعظكم به واتقوا الله واعلموا أن الله بكل شيء عليم
