So if a husband divorces his wife (irrevocably), He cannot, after that, re-marry her until after she has married another husband and He has divorced her.

Such are the limits ordained by Allah, which He makes plain to those who understand.

When Moses came back to his people, angry and grieved, he said: "Evil it is that ye have done in my place in my absence: did ye make haste to bring on the judgment of your Lord?"

Make not the enemies rejoice over my misfortune, nor count thou me amongst the people of sin."

So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?"

We showed them Sign after Sign, each greater than its fellow, and We seized them with Punishment, in order that they might turn (to Us).

Sura al-Aḥqāf 46:27

وَلَقَدْ أَهْلَكْنَا مَا حَوْلَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرَىٰ وَصَرَّفْنَا ٱلْأَيَٰتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ

wa-la-qad ahlaknā mā ḥawlakum mina l-qurā wa-ṣarrafnā l-ayāti la-ʿallahum yarjiʿūna

We destroyed aforetime populations round about you; and We have shown the Signs in various ways, that they may turn (to Us).

Sura al-Ḥadīd 57:5

لَّهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَإِلَى ٱللَّـهِ تُرْجَعُ ٱلْأُمُورُ

lahu mulku l-samāwāti wa-l-arḍi wa-ilā allāhi turjaʿu l-umūru

To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: and all affairs are referred back to Allah.
