4:35

Salaam all,

This is 4:35
وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ شِقَاقَ بَيْنِهِمَا فَابْعَثُواْ حَكَمًا مِّنْ أَهْلِهِ وَحَكَمًا مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا إِن يُرِيدَا إِصْلاَحًا يُوَفِّقِ اللّهُ بَيْنَهُمَا إِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ عَلِيمًا خَبِيرًا
Wain khiftum shiqaqa baynihima faibAAathoo hakaman min ahlihi wahakaman min ahliha in yureeda islahan yuwaffiqi Allahu baynahuma inna Allaha kana AAaleeman khabeeran

The aya says:
And if you feared fissuring between the two of them, then send an arbiter from his people and an arbiter from her people. If he and she wanted reconciliation, Allah will cause agreement between them. Indeed, Allah happened to be knowledgeable, informing.

My personal note:
This Aya gives the way people will work on reconciliation between a husband and wife in case of conflict. It suggests arbitration with people from both sides participating. Allah then informs us that if the couple wanted reconciliation, then Allah will grant an agreeable solution to both.
