2:231
وَإِذَا
طَلَّقْتُمُ
النِّسَاءَ
فَبَلَغْنَ
أَجَلَهُنَّ
فَأَمْسِكُوهُنَّ
بِمَعْرُوفٍ
أَوْ
سَرِّحُوهُنَّ
بِمَعْرُوفٍ
وَلَا
تُمْسِكُوهُنَّ
ضِرَارًا
لِّتَعْتَدُوا
وَمَن
يَفْعَلْ
ذَلِكَ
فَقَدْ
ظَلَمَ
نَفْسَهُ
وَلَا
تَتَّخِذُوا
آيَاتِ
اللَّهِ
هُزُوًا
وَاذْكُرُوا
نِعْمَتَ
اللَّهِ
عَلَيْكُمْ
وَمَا
أَنزَلَ
عَلَيْكُم
مِّنَ
الْكِتَابِ
وَالْحِكْمَةِ
يَعِظُكُم
بِهِ
وَاتَّقُوا
اللَّهَ
وَاعْلَمُوا
أَنَّ
اللَّهَ
بِكُلِّ
شَيْءٍ
عَلِيمٌ

When you divorce your wives and their waiting period has almost ended, you may resume marital relations with honor or leave them with kindness. Do not force them to live with you in suffering to satisfy your hostility. Whoever commits such transgressions, he has only harmed himself. Do not make jest of God's words. Remember the favors that God has done to you and the Book and wisdom He has revealed for your guidance. Have fear of God and know that God has knowledge of all things.
