DIVORCE
Al-Ṭalāq is a Madinan surah that takes its name from the guidelines it provides for divorce. It is also known as Sūrat al-Nisāʾ al-Qusrā, “The Shorter Surah Regarding Women,” in juxtaposition to Surah 4, al-Nisāʾ, “Women” . Although divorce is permitted in Islam, a ḥadīth states, “Verily, of that which is permitted, the most abhorred by God is divorce.” Nonetheless, in 33:28–29 the Prophet himself is permitted to divorce his wives.
The surah can be divided into two main sections. The first (vv. 1–7) provides details regarding the waiting period to be observed in cases of divorce, especially for women who are not menstruating, and the manner in which the husband is to provide for the wife, especially if she is pregnant or suckling. The second section (vv. 8–12) admonishes Muslims to observe these laws by providing reminders of previous peoples who failed to follow the laws revealed by God.
