And Allah is fully aware of whatever you do.

237. And if you divorce them before touching them [584], but you have already set a dowry for them, then half of what you set is due.

258. (O Beloved Prophet) Did you not see the one who argued [665] with Ibrahim about his Lord, merely because Allah had granted him kingship? When Ibrahim said: "My Lord is the One who gives life and causes death," he (Namrood) replied: "I give life and cause death" [666]. Ibrahim said: "Indeed, Allah brings the sun from the east [667]; so bring it from the west." Then the disbeliever was confounded [668]. And Allah does not guide the unjust people.
