Look at this ayah and Allah's guidance in the context of marriage and divorce. This ayah instructs the husband 'Do not hold on to them with intent to harm them and commit aggression:' And then what if someone does this? Well Allah is saying: 'Whoever does that surely wrongs his own soul. ' Dhulm upon themselves!! What's as scary or maybe even scarier, is Allah's warning which comes next: Below are 4 different English translations of: وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوٓا۟ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ هُزُوًا - Do not take Allah’s revelations lightly. - And do not take the verses of Allāh in jest. - Do not make a mockery of God’s revelations; - And treat not the Verses (Laws) of Allâh as a jest, Remember that Allah has guided us... be grateful, appreciate it.. And Allah concludes in a powerful way: And fear Allâh, and know that Allâh is All-Aware of everything.
