Divorce, although disliked, is permitted in Islam as a last resort, if it is not possible to continue a marriage. Allah SWT says: “Either you retain her on equitable terms, or separate from her with kindness” [Al- Baqara-229].  Certain steps need to be taken to ensure that all options have been exhausted! Allah gives divorce as an option because sometimes it is truly in the best interest of all concerned.  Nobody needs to remain in a situation that causes personal distress, pain, and suffering. Allah SWT says in the Quran: "The parties should either hold together on equitable terms or separate with kindness." (Surah al-Baqarah, 2:229)   All Sisters Halaqa Association (ASHA ) is one of the Programs of Women's Health First, a Nonprofit Organization with the mission of strengthening communities by promoting the health and wellbeing of women through public health education and promotion.  ASHA is committed to developing Islamic Education and activities unique to Women and their families, based on Quran And Sunnah, Hadith, via What's App and ZOOM.
