The Islamic Viewpoint
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
FOREWORD: Islam disapproves of divorce immensely, and in this connection it has cautioned its followers to be very careful, and has pointed out the steps that the spouses have to take for reconciliation in the event of disagreement between them. It has also laid down the correct procedure of giving divorce if it becomes inevitable to do so. In this connection the basic point to note is that Islam has permitted only the divorce to be given on one occasion, but a very large number of Muslims is unaware of these teachings of lslam and because of the moral and social corruption a number of people put divorce to wrong and improper use by giving three divorces at one and the same time, and feel sorry, afterwards. In view of this situation, an urgent necessity is felt to educate the people about the Islamic teachings concerning divorce and to show to them its correct procedure. This pamphlet has been written mainly with this purpose in view, but it can be useful from this angle too that those critics, who deride the Islamic shariah laws after seeing wrong procedures of divorce generally followed by the Muslims, would be able to see what was the procedure really laid down by Islam and what procedure is actually being followed by many of its followers.
We pray that this pamphlet may prove helpful in effecting the much-needed reform.
