Al-Baqarah 2:231

Al-Baqarah - The Cow

البقرة

وَإِذا طَلَّقتُمُ النِّساءَ فَبَلَغنَ أَجَلَهُنَّ فَأَمسِكوهُنَّ بِمَعروفٍ أَو سَرِّحوهُنَّ بِمَعروفٍ ۚ وَلا تُمسِكوهُنَّ ضِرارًا لِتَعتَدوا ۚ وَمَن يَفعَل ذٰلِكَ فَقَد ظَلَمَ نَفسَهُ ۚ وَلا تَتَّخِذوا آياتِ اللَّهِ هُزُوًا ۚ وَاذكُروا نِعمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيكُم وَما أَنزَلَ عَلَيكُم مِنَ الكِتابِ وَالحِكمَةِ يَعِظُكُم بِهِ ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عَليمٌ

When you divorce women, and they reach their term, either retain them with kindness or part with them with dignity. Don’t retain them to cause harm or to transgress. Whoever does so wrongs his soul. Don’t make a mockery of God’s revelations, and remember God’s favor upon you, and the Scripture and wisdom He revealed to instruct you. Be conscious of God, and know that God is aware of everything.
