يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقۡتُمُ ٱلنِّسَآءَ فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحۡصُواْ

Juzʼ 28559Ḥizb 56

What Sūrat aṭ-Ṭalāq is about

Sūrat aṭ-Ṭalāq has 12 āyāt in the twenty-eighth juzʼ. It is named after divorce. It tells the Prophet and the believers to divorce women at the start of their waiting period, to count it, and not to put them out of their homes (65:1). At its end, keep them kindly or part kindly, with two just witnesses (65:2).

Within these rulings come promises: whoever is mindful of Allah, He makes a way out for him and provides from where he does not expect (65:2–3), and whoever relies on Allah, He is enough for him (65:3). Allah will bring ease after hardship (65:7). The sūrah ends with the seven heavens and as many earths (65:12).

  1. Āyāt 1–7

    Divorce with care

    Divorce at the waiting period and count it, and do not put women out of their homes. Then keep them kindly or part kindly, before two just witnesses (65:2). Whoever is mindful of Allah, He makes a way out for him (65:2). Waiting periods are set, and the divorced are housed and supported. Allah will bring ease after hardship (65:7).

  2. Āyāt 8–12

    From darkness into light

    Many towns that defied their Lord were brought to account. Allah sent a reminder, a messenger reciting clear āyāt, to bring those who believe out of darkness into light (65:10–11). Allah created seven heavens and of the earth the same, so people know He has power over all things (65:12).
