and sends her from his house, and if after she leaves his house she becomes the wife of
another man, and her second husband dislikes her and writes her a certificate of
divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house, or if he dies, then her first

people who have knowledge." - Al-Baqara (The Cow) 2:230

repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem.'" - Luke 24:44-47

 "That they said (in boast), 'We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of
Allah'; but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them,
and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only
