البقرة — Al-Baqarah Ayat 229
اَلطَّلَاقُ مَرَّتٰنِ ۖ فَاِمْسَاكٌۢ بِمَعْرُوْفٍ اَوْ تَسْرِيْحٌۢ بِاِحْسَانٍ ۗ وَلَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ اَنْ تَأْخُذُوْا مِمَّآ اٰتَيْتُمُوْهُنَّ شَيْـًٔا اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّخَافَآ اَلَّا يُقِيْمَا حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِ ۗ فَاِنْ خِفْتُمْ اَلَّا يُقِيْمَا حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِ ۙ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا فِيْمَا افْتَدَتْ بِهٖ ۗ تِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ فَلَا تَعْتَدُوْهَا ۚوَمَنْ يَّتَعَدَّ حُدُوْدَ اللّٰهِ فَاُولٰۤىِٕكَ هُمُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ
Aṭ-ṭalāqu marratān(i), fa imsākum bima‘rūfin au tasrīḥum bi'iḥsān(in), wa lā yaḥillu lakum an ta'khużū mimmā ātaitumūhunna syai'an illā ay yakhāfā allā yuqīmā ḥudūdullāh(i), fa in khiftum allā yuqīmā ḥudūdullāh(i) falā junāḥa ‘alaihimā fīmaftadat bih(ī), tilka ḥudūdullāhi falā ta‘tadūhā, wa may yata‘adda ḥudūdullāhi fa'ulā'ika humuẓ-ẓālimūn(a).
"Divorce is twice. Then, either keep [her] in an acceptable manner or release [her] with good treatment. And it is not lawful for you to take anything of what you have given them unless both fear that they will not be able to keep [within] the limits of Allah. But if you fear that they will not keep [within] the limits of Allah, then there is no blame upon either of them concerning that by which she ransoms herself. These are the limits of Allah, so do not transgress them. And whoever transgresses the limits of Allah - it is those who are the wrongdoers."

Reflection and Practical Meaning
This verse invites readers to slow down, remember Allah, and connect the message of the Quran with daily life. A useful way to approach Al-Baqarah ayah 229 is to ask three questions: what does this verse teach about Allah, what does it reveal about human character, and what small action can be practiced today? This method keeps reflection grounded and practical.
For personal study, read the verse slowly, repeat the key phrase, and write one sentence about how it applies to your prayer, family life, work, or choices. Consistent small reflections often become more beneficial than rushed reading. If you share this verse, include its surah and ayah reference so others can find the context.
