"Divorce" [1] (Template:Langx, aṭ-talāq) is the 65th chapter of the Qur'an with 12 verses (ayat). The main subject is about divorce.[2] Abdullah ibn Masud reportedly described it as the shorter version of the surah An-Nisa.[3] The surah also defines the time period of mourning (iddah) to be three menstruation periods. For pre-menarche girls and for post-menopause women - three months. In case of pregnancy, after the delivery of the child.[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.[9]
