Surah At-Talaq (The Divorce)
This Surah was revealed in Madinah, and it has 12 verses and 2 sections

In the Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Most Merciful

“O Prophet, when you people divorce women, divorce them at a time when the period of "iddah may start! And count the period of "iddah, and fear Allah, your Lord. Do not expel them from their houses, nor should they go out, unless they come up with a clearly shameless act. And these are the limits prescribed by Allah. And whoever exceeds the limits prescribed by Allah wrongs his own self. You do not know (what will happen in future); it may be that Allah brings about anew situation thereafter.” [1]

COMMENTARY: At the end of term, whether it is decided to retain the wife or release her, the Qur'an has restricted either of the decisions with the word Ma'ruf. Literally, the word Ma'ruf means 'a recognised way' and it implies that the Muslims are required to implement the approved procedure of Shari'ah and Sunnah, as recognised by Islam. If the decision is to revoke the divorce and retain the wife, she should not be hurt in future verbally or physically, nor should this be shown as a favour to her. They should resolve to bear their weaknesses that led to the divorce, so that it may not cause bitterness to arise again.

If, on the other hand, the decision is to release her, then the recognised procedure is as follows: Do not evict her in a disrespectful manner, but release her in a courteous manner. When she is made to leave the house, it is at least Mustahab [rewardable] in some cases to give her a suit of clothes, and in other cases it is Wajib [compulsory] to do so, as other verses of the Qur'an show. The details are available in books of jurisprudence.

When I....

Was 4: "My dad can do anything"

Was 5: "My dad knows a whole lot"

Was 6: "My dad's smarter than yours"

Was 8: "My dad doesn't know exactly everything"

Was 10: "In the olden days when my dad grew up, things were sure different"

Was 12: "Oh, well, naturally my dad doesn't know anything about that. He's too old to remember his childhood"

Was 14: "Don't pay any attention to my dad. He's too old fashioned"

Was 21: "Him? He's hopelessly out of date"

Was 25: "Dad knows a little bit about it, but then he should, because he has been around so long"

Was 30: "Maybe we should ask dad what he thinks. After all, he's had a lot of experience"

Was 35: "I'm not doing a single thing until I talk to dad"

Was 40: I wonder how dad would have handled it. He was so wise and had a world of experience"

Was 50: "I'd give anything if dad were here now so I could talk it over with him. Too bad I didn't appreciate how smart he was. I could've learned a lot from him."
