Ramadan Quran Reflection Day #2 (65:2-3)
Divorce. A word not many in our time like to hear. It comes with so many negative repercussions in our society. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
One of my favorite statements in the Quran happens to be in the middle of two verses in the chapter of divorce.
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُ مَخْرَجًا وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
“And whoever is mindful of God will be shown a way out. And He will provide for him in ways beyond imagination. Whoever puts his trust in God then He will be enough for him.”
This chapter is filled with hopeful statements of ease, compassion, hope and acceptance. Allah is repeatedly saying that He will help facilitate a way to heal and get back up again. He is simply asking to be mindful of Him. Stay true to what He asks of you, and He will suffice you. Situations like divorce can get so messy and it’s easy for people to forget that there is a God who will judge. It’s easy to forgo what’s right and go with what is easy. And this is why this chapter is so important. Don’t neglect your duties to God. Fulfill your religious obligation, and you will see how He will get you out of this hardship.
Reading these statements today made me realize how perfectly placed they are in this chapter. Divorce shouldn’t be hard and impossible. It should be a means to find hope in Allah again, so long as we stay true to our deen and its commandments.
