Description
As its title indicates, this sūra is mostly comprised of regulations concerning divorce (similar to those found at Q2.226–232). It also alludes briefly to the punishment of previous cities and mentions the future reward of believers, before concluding with a striking reference to the creation of the ‘seven heavens.’
