Dear Quran Lovers,
Let us continue to recite surah 2 Al-Baqoroh, synopsis of Islam. Please refer to the text:
أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
(229) اُلطَّلَقُ مَرَّتَانِ = "At-Tol-la~qu Mar-ro-ta~~n". =  "At-Tol-la~qu" = The divorce is, "Mar-ro-ta~ni" = twice.
 "At-Tol-la~qu Mar-ro-ta~~n". = The (revocable) divorce is twice.
صلى = a Waqof Jaiz sign.
فَإِمْسَاكُم بِمَرُوفٍ أَوْ تَسْرِيحُم بِإِحْسَنٍ = "Fa Im-sa~kum~Bi Maa-ru~fin Aw Tas-ri~hum~ Bi Ih-sa~~n".  = "Fa" = then, "Im-sa~ku" = to retain/reconcile/make up, "Bi" = with, "Maa-ru~fin" = kindness, "Aw" = or, "Tas-ri~hun" = release, "Bi" = with, "Ih-sa~nin" = good deeds.

(In Islam, a man can pronounce, "I divorce you" to his wife twice, or pronouncing a word which has the meaning that he is divorcing the wife and he intends to divorce her, then he and his wife are divorced. They can reconcile/make up only after the first and the second pronouncing of the word "I divorce you", and no more after the second pronouncing the divorce. After the first or the second pronouncing, they may make up in kindness, or they may separated in good faith. When the third pronouncing is made, then, they cannot make up anymore unless and until the divorce'e marries another man, have sex with him, and when that husband divorces her, only then the first husband can marry the woman).
