واذا طلقتم النساء فبلغن اجلهن فامسكوهن بمعروف او سرحوهن بمعروف ولا تمسكوهن ضرارا لتعتدوا ومن يفعل ذلك فقد ظلم نفسه ولا تتخذوا ايات الله هزوا واذكروا نعمت الله عليكم وما انزل عليكم من الكتاب والحكمة يعظكم به واتقوا الله واعلموا ان الله بكل شيء عليم

When ye divorce Women, and they fulfil The term of their (’Iddat), Either take them back On equitable terms Or set them free On equitable terms; But do not take them back To injure them, (or) to take Undue advantage; If any one does that, He wrongs his own soul. Do not treat God's Signs As a jest, But solemnly rehearse God's favours on you, And the fact that He Sent down to you The Book And Wisdom, For your instruction. And fear God, And know that God Is well acquainted With all things.
