​English Translation (Saheeh International)

  1. ​“And when they have [nearly] fulfilled their term, either retain them according to acceptable terms or part with them according to acceptable terms. And bring to witness two just men from among you and establish the testimony for [the acceptance of] Allah. That is instructed to whoever should believe in Allah and the Last Day. And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out”
  2. ​“And will provide for him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set for everything a [measured] extent.”

​Bengali Translation (বাংলা অনুবাদ)

​(২) «অতঃপর যখন তারা তাদের ইদ্দতের শেষ সীমায় পৌঁছবে, তখন তোমরা তাদের ন্যায়ানুগ পন্থায় রেখে দেবে অথবা ন্যায়ানুগ পন্থায় তাদের পরিত্যাগ করবে এবং তোমাদের মধ্য থেকে ন্যায়পরায়ণ দুইজনকে সাক্ষী বানাবে। আর আল্লাহর জন্য সঠিক সাক্ষ্য দেবে। তোমাদের মধ্যে যে আল্লাহ ও আখিরাত দিবসের প্রতি ঈমান আনে এটি দ্বারা তাকে উপদেশ দেয়া হচ্ছে। যে আল্লাহকে ভয় করে, তিনি তার জন্য উত্তরণের পথ তৈরী করে দেন।»

(৩) «এবং তিনি তাকে এমন উৎস থেকে রিযক দিবেন যা সে কল্পনাও করতে পারবে না। আর যে আল্লাহর ওপর তাওয়াক্কুল করে আল্লাহ তার জন্য যথেষ্ট। আল্লাহ তাঁর উদ্দেশ্য পূর্ণ করবেনই। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ প্রত্যেক জিনিসের জন্য একটি সময়সীমা নির্ধারণ করে দিয়েছেন।»

While originally revealed regarding family laws and divorce, verses 2 and 3 of Surah At-Talaq are heavily relied upon in Ruqyah Shari’ah and spiritual supplication (Dua) for profound psychological and spiritual benefits:

​1. Relief from Chronic Distress, Financial Hardship, and Blockages

  • ​Spiritual Principle: The promise of a Makhraj (way out) directly targets blockages in a person’s life—whether caused by human oppression, severe financial strain, or spiritual afflictions like blocked provisions and stagnant affairs.
  • ​Ruqyah Application: Recited during Dua or as a daily Wird (regular recitation) by individuals facing overwhelming hardships, debts, or tight life circumstances to unlock Allah’s divine relief.

​2. Healing Anxiety, Depression, and Hopelessness

  • ​Spiritual Principle: Total reliance on Allah (Tawakkul) shifts the heart’s burden away from human weakness to the Infinite Provider (Al-Hasib).
  • ​Ruqyah Application: Used in psychological healing to soothe panic attacks, existential fear, and chronic worry, reinforcing the firm belief that Allah is entirely sufficient for whoever trusts Him.

​3. Protection Against Despair Caused by Magic or Envy

  • ​Spiritual Principle: Difficulties inflicted by hidden harms (Sihr or Hasad) often leave a person feeling trapped with no way out. This verse directly counters that despair by declaring that Allah has already set a definitive time limit (Qadar) for every trial.
  • ​Ruqyah Application: Recited during healing sessions to remind the afflicted person that every hardship is temporary and governed by Allah’s absolute decree.

​1. The Immense Weight of These Verses

​Narrator: Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him)

​Hadith: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited this verse: "Wa man yattaqil-laha yaj'al lahu makhrajaa. Wa yarzuqhu min haythu laa yahtasib" and then said:

​"O Abu Dharr! If all of humanity were to take hold of this verse, it would suffice them [to solve all their problems and meet all their needs]."

​Reference: Musnad Ahmad, Sunan Ibn Majah (Hadith 4223 — Graded Sahih by Al-Albani).

🤲 Dua / Ruqyah ▼

Classical mufassireen highlight these verses as some of the most comforting and reassuring passages in the entire Quran:

​1. The Promise of a Way Out (Makhraj) and Unexpected Provision (Rizq)

​Tafsir Ibn Kathir: Imam Ibn Kathir explains that whoever possesses Taqwa (consciousness and fear of Allah) by adhering to His commands and avoiding what He prohibits, "He will make for him a way out"—meaning Allah will release them from every distress, hardship, and worldly difficulty. Furthermore, He will provide for them from directions they never imagined or anticipated.

​Tafsir Al-Qurtubi: Commenting on the phrase "Wa man yatawakkal 'alal-lahi fahuwa hasbuh" (And whoever relies upon Allah, then He is sufficient for him), scholars note that placing absolute trust (Tawakkul) in Allah is the key to solving seemingly impossible life crises, financial debts, and emotional distress.
