The Lord is All-Hearing unto the apparent execution of divorce and is All-Knowing about the motive of it, as well. So, the Qur'an says: " And if they have resolved on divorce, then surely Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. But it should be noted that, although Islam has not absolutely nullified the proposition of forswear, but it has, indeed, wiped out its effects, because, it does not allow any man to separate from his wife and abandon sexual intercourse by forswearing and taking oath.

If we see that the verse has given this kind of man a respite of four months' time to decide, it is not for showing that it is really possible to reject any right of the matrimonial rights by forswearing, but it is for the sake that sexual intercourse, as a religious obligation, is necessary at least once every four months.

(It is, of course, so that the woman might not commit sin because of this length of time, otherwise, especially for the young ladies that may commit sin as a result of that long time, the length of time between the sexual intercourses should be shortened as much as that her sexual need be provided for.) Messages: 1 - To wipe out the social customs and old traditions treated superstitiously and ignorantly has been a principle among the duties of prophets.

2- Being attentive to the rights and spiritual and instinctive needs 213 of one's wife is a principle for the husband. 3- Sometimes, Man uses the most sacred appellations for the worst aims. 4- For the return of some individuals to the right path and that they make a wise decision, giving a respite is necessary. 5- Islam is the advocator of the oppressed. Women have always been oppressed and their rights have been transgressed all along the length of the history.

Therefore, the Qur'an has frequently supported them. 6- People should be encouraged to lead safe and sound lives. The statement: "...so if then they revert, sruely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful " has occurred in the verse to make man aware of the fact that reverting to the course of life is the secret of receiving the forgiveness and mercy of Allah. 7- Islam accepts divorce, with all its bitterness and ugliness, but it does not bear that a wife be suspended and her situation unclear.

8- Be careful of sensuality and be in awe of a decision that destroys the livelihood of a woman, because: " Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing ".
