"Divorce" [1] (Arabic: الطلاق, aṭ-talāq) is the 65th chapter of the Qur'an with 12 verses (ayat).

[2] Abdullah ibn Masud reportedly described it as the shorter version of the surah An-Nisa.

[4] After addressing the topic of divorce and a number of other resulting family issues[5] in first 7 verses,[6] the surah then strongly urges people to observe God’s regulations and guidance, and reminded the fate of earlier disobedient people that the apostate and disobedient were chastised for their sin.

[7] The 11th verse describes the required attitude of the true believers that they exhort to faith in messenger and the regarding bounties.

[8] Finally God’s power and knowledge are emphasized at the end.
