and when you have divorced women and their term reaches its end either retain them on good terms within this period or release them with kindness and do not retain them in order to hurt them hence transgressing the limits and he who does so harms only himself and do not make the signs of allah the objects of ridicule and remember allahs favour that is bestowed upon you and that he has sent down to you the book and wisdom for your guidance keep fearing allah and know well that allah knows everything. 
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
