    412 In what your wives (Azwajukum) leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. ....

    So, it mean that zoaj/azwaj are only wife/wives. The term does not convey spouse/spouses.

      Azwaju-kum

      Azwaj means mates
      kum is a plural masculine pronoun, which refers to BOTH male and female

      If it were a feminine 'plural' pronoun such as 'hunna, kunna, etc.' it would refer to females ONLY. Masculine 'plural' pronouns refer to BOTH male and female.

      Wealthy Females leave legacies, debts and inheritance, Sura 4.12 applies to them also.

        No, grammar/reading out of context leads to major contradictions on very clear verses.

        E.g. woman leaves behind husband and no children, which to use?

        412 And for you 1/2 what your spouses/wives left, if was not for them a child....

        412...and for them the 1/4 from what you left, if was not for you a child...

          Please take the time and energy to research the 'context' through the language of the Quran. The Quran will confirm the context.

          Then lets talk.

          When your ready, just post your understanding.

          Again as you know by now, I dont argue english translations or interpretations.

            Still waiting MTR for your response on my pervious post. in word Nissa meaning women which does not even exsist according to Lexion of classic Arabic has Medda on Alif. This is the same rule for make feminine of a given word. However, 41 has no Medda. Thanks.

              Badar

              Badar, we went through this already! is a FEMININE MARKER!!, period

              Sura 4.1 from that soul countless men and women / and baththa minhuma rijalan katheeran wa nisa'a /

              min-huma is a dual, masculine and feminine pronoun reference that governs and defines rijalan / and nisaan / as Men and Women, respectively.

              nisa?a / is feminine singular, indicated by the feminine marker extended alif & hamza /

              Again, a Lexical reference is word 'usage' NOT grammatical morphology (structure, meanings, verbal forms, tense, gender, number, etc.)

              We are discussing the Quran NOT linguistic use of words but Quranic understanding and relevance of a Quranic term NOT linguistic terms based upon dialects and usage.

              Badar I have given you the references 4 times!!! Posted them in the thread, do I have to do it a 5th time?

                Last point Rajul / Rijal is an ACTIVE PARTICIPLE, it has no gender! Please clearify this statement. Are you implying here that , is a participle and is seperate, so what is it?

                We are discussing the Quran NOT linguistic use of words but Quranic understanding and relevance of a Quranic term NOT linguistic terms based upon dialects and usage.. Please clearify this what do you mean. Are you implying that one does not need to understand the language i.e., lexical concepts and grammar to understand Quran? Thanks.

                You have still not expounded the query of Medda on Alif in Nissa used meaning woman verse Nissa used in 41 without Medda. Thanks.

                  BADAR

                  Assalaam Alaikum Badar

                  Im sorry, but you are all over the place.

                  Rajul / Rijal is NOT in Sura 4.1 its

                  One is an active participle the other a 'broken plural' noun, in essence one a verb the other a noun

                  Two different words, same root, different words, one a verb other a noun

                  Badar, I dont have a clue as to what your referring to, there is no alif madda with

                  Alif madda, , is used when a sustained 'a' sound occurs at the BEGINNING of a word

                  Sura 4.1 Nisa'a / has an extended alif / at the END of the word NOT beginning.

                  Again we discussing the Quran NOT Lexical linguistic usage.

                    Yes I know, you are too proud to admit a mistake. Nothing to argue, you posted a clear contradiction; azwajukum in context of 412 cannot be spouses both males and females; e.g.

                    A woman dies leaving a husband, no children ? what do we give him, ? or ??

                    an-Nisa' (Women) 412
                    Walakum nisfu ma taraka azwajukum in lam yakun lahunna waladun fa-in kana lahunna waladun falakumu alrrubuAAu mimma tarakna min baAAdi wasiyyatin yooseena biha aw daynin walahunna alrrubuAAu mimma taraktum in lam yakun lakum waladun fa-in kana lakum waladun falahunna alththumunu mimma taraktum min baAAdi wasiyyatin toosoona biha aw daynin wa-in kana rajulun yoorathu kalalatan awi imraatun walahu akhun aw okhtun falikulli wahidin minhuma alssudusu fa-in kanoo akthara min thalika fahum shurakao fee alththuluthi min baAAdi wasiyyatin yoosa biha aw daynin ghayra mudarrin wasiyyatan mina Allahi waAllahu AAaleemun haleemun

                    As stated earlier, the best meaning is derived within context of verses and triangulated/cross referenced within the entire Quran which cannot contradict itself ? another example where spouses contradicts...

                    3722-23 Gather those who were unjust/oppressive and their spouses (waazwajahum), and what they were worshipping from other than God, so guide them to the hell's way.

                    A better definition of azwajahum above is ?their cohorts/partners? in oppression not ?spouses? which implies quilt by marriage and of course contradicts rest of Quran....

                    6611 And God gave an example to those who believe, Pharaoh's woman (wife) when she said "My Lord build for me at You a home in the Paradise and save/rescue me from Pharaoh and his deed, and save/rescue me from the nation the unjust/oppressive."

                    Below is my understanding of the inheritance verses which I did take the time and energy to research in ?context? and anyone is welcome to find one contradiction case...

                    http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=16179.msg177780#msg177780

                    482 So do they not consider The Qur?an, and if (it) were from at other than God, they would have found in it many contradictions.

                    This will unfortunately be my last post on free-minds for a while. It?s been wonderful knowing everyone these past two years and would have liked to meet in person/share a smile ? perhaps one day...

                    In the blessed and ease treed paradises
                    On sofas facing each other
                    Being circled around on them with a cup to drink wine from goodness
                    White delight to the drinking
                    Intoxication not in it, nor they be exhausted from it
                    And at them the eye's confining big beautiful eyes...

                    Peace

                      azwajakum / azwajahum again means mates, its plural. Kum / Hum are masculine plural pronouns, when attached to a noun or verb they refer to BOTH males and Females.

                                  Salaam Nun,

                                  I am sure you have valid reason to take a leave from this forum for a while but it is making me sad. It is making me sad as you know how much I have valued your contributions and frequently called for your help, especially when the subject involved complicated mathemitical calulations or deep research.
                                  My brother I pray that God answer all your prayers and, though it is unlikely, that I may meet you in person as we live in different corners of the world, but then there is also the beyond, so I hope to meet you one day in the best of surroundings.
                                  You are such a genuine person and its doesn't take much to reccognise a fellow believer, so it would be nice to hear from you on PM.

                                  Best of my regards to you and your family.

                                  Farida

                                    One is an active participle the other a 'broken plural' noun, in essence one a verb the other a noun

                                    Are you implying that Rajul is a verb and Rijal a broken plural of a noun. If it is so, please explain the meanings of Rajul as a verb and give singular of broken plural noun Rijal.

                                    As regards Alif with Medda in Nissa. It is the last Alif in nissa and not in begining. Please see the rule for making/changing gender of a noun to feminine. Alif with Medda and Ayn in the end is needed. Please see below Wright's Grammar most respected in English. Actual page of book is Vol 1 pp179. Scaned PDF page 97/166 so please scroll down to 97/166.

                                    http//www.ghazali.org/arabic/WrightArabicGrammarVol1.pdf
                                    Your are just using most likely Arabic online as referance, below, hence not comprehending what I am saying.

                                    Please look at both then comment. Thanks.

                                      Badar, Again, your NOT accepting the grammatical reference. I gave you the arabic grammatical term for BOTH 'extended alif' / and 'broken plural' /

                                      Badar, again, Alif madda, , is used when a sustained 'a' sound occurs at the BEGINNING of a word

                                      the 'extended alif' / is at the END of the word

                                      Again, Rijal is an ACTIVE PARTICIPLE, denotes an action associated with a verb, which indicates you need a doer & subject/object of the action or activity

                                      Once again, Rijalan / is a 'broken plural' / NOUN not a verb. without the feminine marker its masculine and means 'Men', period.

                                      There is NO Arabic feminine word using the root construct of Rijal or Rajul its NOT in the Quran, its NOT used in Modern Standard Arabic, it MAY exist in certain Arabic dialects.

                                      Again, it's NOT grammatically referenced in the Quran.

                                        Thanks brother for your reply. However, it seems you did not bother to look at referance from Wright. With your knowledge of grammar in view I did not think that I needed to explain the difference between and alif with Medda. But may be you have accepted "Arabic on line and Dr. Abdullah Abbas Nadwi initial publication of "Learn The Language of The Holy Quran" as ultimate authority.

                                        Finally in this part of verse 41 , which is the verb or action that denotes to? Thanks.

                                        Badar

                                          the Active Participle is NOT in Sura 4.1.

                                          the Noun is in Sura 4.1, is nunation using tanwiinu alfatahati / , which makes the word indefinite.

                                          Again, is a 'broken plural' with tanwiinu alfatahati / which indicates that the word is fully declinable, thus the gender of the noun in this case will match the gender of its singular Rajulun, meaning 'Man'.

                                          Thus grammatically speaking, the Noun, in its fully declinable state, can not mean women or female.

                                          Research 'Declension'
