And when you have divorced the women                                                                             And they have reached the ends of their prescribed terms                                         They do not prevent them from their marrying their husbands                                When they both agree between themselves with grace and fairness.                      This is with which is instructed whoever among you                                                   Believes in Allah and the coming Day.                                                                               This for you is more cleansing and more purifying.                                                      And Allah knows full-well and surely you do not know.
