65: (Al-Talaq)- Divorce

Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim.

In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful. All the praises and thanks be to Allâh, the Lord of the 'Alamîn . The Only Owner of the Day of Recompense. You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help. Guide us to the Straight Way. The Way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace , not (the way) of those who earned Your Anger, nor of those who went astray .

65: (Al-Talaq)- Divorce

(The Divorce)Section (juz') 28

Number of Verses: 12

Sura al-Ṭalāq (Arabic: سورة الطلاق) is the sixty fifth sura of the quran. It is a madani sura located in the twenty seventh juz thereof. It is called "al-Talaq" (divorce) because the bulk of the sura is devoted to rulings of divorce. The first part of the sura provides outlines of the rulings of divorce together with warnings, threats, and good tidings, and the second part points to the greatness of god, the place of the prophet(s), the rewards of righteous people, and punishments of wrongdoers.

Effects of the recitation of the sura are said to include being steadfast on the tradition of the Prophet (s) and immunity from the fire of the hell.

The blessed Chapter 65, revealed in Medina, has twelve Verses. The first seven Verses treat of divorce and the related rulings, hence the designation of the Chapter. The second section deals with the fate of those who disobeyed Divine Command and thereby suffered the consequence of their disobedient as well as that of those who obeyed the Prophets and did righteous good deeds and were thereby reward by Divine Bounties.

It is narrated from the Noble Prophet (S) that whoever recites Surah al-Talaq and acts upon its injunctions will pass away while following the Prophetic traditions.

"And the divorced women (after the pronouncement of the divorce) must wait for three monthly courses and their husbands are fully entitled to take them back (as their wives) during this waiting period, if they desire reconciliation." (Al Baqarah 228)

"Then, if the husband divorces his wife (for the third time), she shall not remain lawful for him after this divorce, unless she marries another husband..." (Al-Baqarah : 230)

"When you marry the believing women, and then divorce them before you have touched them, they do not have to observe a waiting period, the completion of which you may demand of them." (Al-Ahzab : 49)
