- O people! Fear your God. 2. It is He who created you from the Same Soul, His RUH. 3. And of it He created its Signs. 4. With these two He made men and women spread; 5. so fear Allah, by Whom you enquire one another; 6. and be guarded against your relations; 7. surely Allah ever watches over you.
Allah had created all human beings from the same soul in which is His RUH. There is no human being who does not possess this Criterion. RUH is the receiver of God's Will of glad tidings and of admonitions when sent down upon an individual. All such good news and warnings are received as an abstract feel; this is 'wahi' or inspiration from Allah. From this inspiration or 'wahi' of abstract nature, Allah brings its visible manifestation as its pair and a Sign to those who believe that Wahi is the Truth and its pair, the manifestation are the inseparable one single entity.
The Wahi inspired into our RUH, however minuscule or grand, it is total culmination of every particle and element of the universe in its entirety in various proportions and in strategic combinations. The moment a Wahi is inspired into a believer, the entire universe comes by us in servitude by the Command of Allah.
Those believers who ponders and reflects on the inspired Wahi, they get at the clear revelation much before they see the visible manifestation or creation as perfect Sign. Thus Allah creates manifest Signs as true formation of the abstract Wahi, blessed in each one's heart according to grade and degree of his comprehending ability.
The believers who gain the clarity of what is inspired into hos RUH, by revelation through wisdom are high in degree than those who could only believe when the Signs are created and manifestly shown before their very eyes.
Allah created man from the same soul in which His RUH rests to receive His command as Wahi. And from it Allah creates a matching pair, the manifestation of the Wahi for their blessed living. To make manifest such grand blessings, the universal powers bow down to man in obedience by the command of Allah, and become subservient to man. All this, only for the believers who abide by Wahi and to those who thereafter would not associate the material knowledge of man.
fazlur rahman.

After the parents, the near relatives are the guardians who shall shoulder the responsibility for the hapless family The bereaved family shall never be left as orphans
49 And let those fear as if they had left weak offspring as orphans behind and feared for them. So let them fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice.
The day shall come to everyone when they would be saddened and fear injustice to their weak offsprings and to his helpless family by the people around that they would be left as orphans. Let the believers fear this and obey Allah now. Follow the dictum below
47 From what is left by parents and those nearest related there is a share of responsibility for men and a share of responsibility for women, whether their share be small or large,-a determinate share.
From what is left by parents and their nearest related They leave behind them their weak family without the guardians, and the members of it are of a sudden, become like orphans. All the near and dear relations shall come to their rescue immediately and stay put to help them as guardians; and take up the responsibilities of what the deceased parents had left behind, and complete his responsibilities until the family becomes stable. It is piety, that all relations shall come together to relieve the burden of all loans and debts if any, and bring salam to the bereaved family of their worst fears of strangers invading their peace, as their first duty.
411 Allah enjoins you concerning the kith and kin The male shall have the equal of the responsibilities of two females. Your parents and your children You know not, which of them is nearer to you in justice.
To the contrary what is being practised is looting away by the near relations, the properties of the deceased and deprive everything, however little is left behind. Thus the muslim families are left in the llurch as orphans.
410 Indeed, those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire. And they will be burned in a Blaze.
41 Guard against your relations and fear God.

Peace -- why not complete verse, use context, cross-reference with 412 and 4176 see if responsibilities in fractions make sense?
Peace,
Why not? If the deceased person was earning an income of 18,000 a month, all the relatives shall come together to give that amount to the hapless family according to their minimum decreed share. Male will bear twice the share of what a female shall bear as her responsibility. 412, 176 does not contradict 411 if you could apply.
I have contextually applied the ayat to the ayats 47, 9, 10 and with reference to various ayats regarding the orphans too.
But you have given only a literal translation. Say how you apply the verse in context of the whole of Quran with reference to justice to orphaned ones. Do you see any sense in the fractions in division of and breaking away with the properties? Further, who shall act as the guardian as an additional responsibility from among the nearest of kith and kin?
You need referencing and cross-referencing? For this the perfect example being, when Maryam was made an orphan, Prophet Zakariah took the entire responsibility to rear her as per the decision arrived among the relatives.
"This account of something that was beyond the reach of your perception We reveal unto you for you were not with them when they weighed options as to which of them should be Mary's guardian, and you were not with them when they contended about it with one another." 344
"And thereupon her Sustainer accepted the girl-child with goodly acceptance, and caused her to grow up in goodly growth, and placed her in the responsibility of Zachariah." 337
Unless you follow Allah and follow the prophet, in this context you will find tje perfect exemplar only in prophet Zachariah; and you shall see no guidance, no example in prophet Muhammad with regard to 411, 12, and 176 if you search apart from the prophet Zachariah, in Quran. Follow Allah and follow Zachariah if you want to resolve 41, 11, 7, 9, 10, 12 and 176.

Peace, 411 starts concerning children; if they are boy age 3 and girls ages 5 & 7 -- responsibilities?
Peace,
Inheritance the act of contracting or assuming or acquiring possession of something - such as properties, characteristics, leadership, guardianship, gentic inheritance etc.
The ayat starts concerning children, the deceased had left behind. Then comes the inheritance of responsibilities of the nearest relations of the deceased, from among males and females. Why does the next sentence of the ayat say the words males and females instead of boys and girls? Children of 3 - 7 years of age shall not be entrusted with the properties except being kept in safety in the safe and responsible hands. Since the children are in orphans-like situation, it is incumbent upon the nearest kith and kin of the deceased to set right their affairs until the children come of age. They shall not devour the properties and wealth of the hapless children; nevertheless, the near relations of the deceased have to take fullest responsibility to care for them.
Where do you find mistake on my take? The context here is the deceased, his children, boys and girls; his near relations from males and females; and his properties; and the inheritance of the responsibilities. This beginning sentence of the ayat 411 is the centre point of the whole post. So let us settle this matter first.
Please avoid literal reading and understanding methodology of Quran. You even say your grossest translation of an ayat, in the common language, English. I will go by your own translation to get to the core of the subject matter for discussion. This reading combination - division those the relatives/near - gives headache. I am sorry to say this, but it is true.

Peace -- you are partially correct toward the end; we are warned early in the chapter not to mess with their inheritance...
46 and test yeh the orphans until when attained they the marriage so if perceive you from them rational so deliver yeh to them wealth theirs and not eat/consume it wastefully and hastily that grow up they (i.e. consume it before they come of age) and from he is rich so should refrain and from he is in need of so let eat/consume in the fair manner so when deliver you to them wealth theirs so witness yeh over them and sufficient in the god reckon-er

Peace,
The word "share".
Share what?
Share the responsibilities the deceased had left towards his family. Thus delivering justice and doing the duty for Allah's sake to the bereaved family, as nearest kin to the deceased..- And when near of kin and orphans and needy persons are present at the distribution of share, give them of it, and speak unto them in a kindly way.
When the other near ones, and other orphans, and the other needy come to pay their condolences and to say the words of solace and kind words of comfort to the orphaned children, take them too into your confidence - and their share in this situation could be in the least, is to share their views, and to bear "witness" to the distribution of share. They would themselves volunteer and intervene as to the distribution of responsibilities among them. Slight them not in anger on account of their distance in relations to them. Speak to them kindly and take their views too into consideration.
Please speak in one language at a time. And let it be the common language, English.

Speaks concerning the demise of the husband leaving behind his wife and weak offsprings.
-
Speaks concerning the demise of the wife leaving behind husband with or without their grown up next generation.
-
Speaks concerning the demise of an elderly last surviving one - either male or female who has no ascendant or descendant generations.
These are the three categories each one is distinctly different in circumstantial situation. The crux matter in these three ayats is not about dividing the wealth and properties of the deceased and taking away the loots as shares - but giving away from your wealth as their near relations, a decreed share to help run the family without any financial burden over-flowing them. All the three ayats involve of the people, either poor or middle income family.
All these people are indebted people having minimal means of survival with no property of their own, and even living in lower-rented flats. And hence what is decreed upon the faithful people is to settle their lives in just proportions as Allah has ordained. In such a situation you need to spend from your wealth to clear off all his debts and save him from insolvency so that the family now starts life with dignity. There is absolutely nothing you could take away from the bereaved family, for there is nothing left with them as their possessions.
Based on this, we start with 411 concerning children.

Allah enjoins you concerning your offsprings
The God of the worlds warns you to fear Him concerning the state of your weak offsprings if you die leaving them orphans at such tender age. If we take the admonition seriously, then here is what you shall do concerning the similar status of other orphans before you. "And test the orphans until they attain maturity - then if you find in them maturity of intellect, make over to them their property, and do not consume it extravagantly and hastily, lest they attain to full age; and whoever is rich, let him abstain altogether from touching it, and whoever is poor, let him use it reasonably; then when you make over to them their property, call witnesses in their presence; and Allah is enough as a Reckoner."
- The male shall have the equal of the share of responsibility of two females.
This is because, "Men are the sustainers and maintainers of women because Allah has made men to excel women and because they spend out of their property. Surely Allah is High, Great." Every man shall shoulder twice the responsibility to safeguard the interests and properties of the offsprings - "And let those fear who, should they leave behind them weakly offspring, would fear on their account, so let them be careful of their duty to Allah." Here is what Allah ordains upon men and women as to their respective responsibilities to share-
- Then if they are more than two females, they shall have two-thirds responsibility of the responsibilities the deceased has left behind; and if there is one, she shall bear the half.
If there are only females as near relatives of the deceased, then their share of responsibilities go as above depending on their numbers.
- And as for his parents, each of them shall bear the sixth of what he has left if he has a child.
Since his parents have reached above the earning age, it is enough if they each bear a sixth of responsibility. How justified could it be to take away a child's property earned for it by its father?
- But if he has no child and his two parents inherit him, then his mother shall bear the third.
His father, the male shall bear twice the share of what the mother shall bear.
- But if he has brothers, then his mother shall bear the sixth
And his father shall bear one third, twice that of the mother.
- After a bequest he may have bequeathed or a debt.
All the above mentioned shares to help smooth running of the bereaved family come to effect immediately after his debt and his personal will of settlement of dues and his promises is fulfilled as quickly as possible, so that there is no hindrance or the burden of loans, and also saving the family from the harassments by the people unknown to them.
- Your parents and your children and you know not which of them nearer to you in usefulness; this is an ordinance from Allah Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.
Only to make you understand that except for a very few of your near and dear relations would not visit you even at death and worse still, even the very few might not turn up. They are the rejecters of God's ayats. On the other hand from among the distant relations and friends, or even the orphans might turn up with compassion in their hearts to help your family tide over the critical situation. And you will know they are your brethren in Islam.
"Say If your fathers and your sons and your brethren and your mates and your kinsfolk and property which you have inherited, and the slackness of trade which you fear and dwellings which you like, are dearer to you than Allah and His Apostle and striving in His way, then wait till Allah brings about His command and Allah does not guide the transgressing people." 924

http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9604771.msg333637#msg333637Where is the question of assigning responsibility to the weak offsprings? Wherefrom in 411 you got this?
It is the duty of all the near relations to come together to settle the debts and fulfil the Will of the deceased, in whatever and every means possible. Then you shall sit together and take account of the necessary financial assistance on daily or monthly basis and pour in your contributions as per shares prescribed. And wealthy among you can give more for Allah's sake, and among them who have not much finance to support there is no blame on them if they can only contribute less. Allah is sufficient as Reckoner. Even the distant relations and all those who wish to take part and spend in Allah's case however poor they are, they shall be given permission to do so. "Those who spend benevolently in ease as well as in straitness, and Allah loves the doers of good to others."
411 says regarding those poor families with little children whose deceased father was earning every day for their livelihood and their livelihood is straitened with the debts in addition. Wherefrom you got 72 gold coins? This imaginary case has no standing here. They have nothing left with them like what you say according to 411.

Before going to 412, we shall keep in mind the general rule stated in 47 - Men shall have a portion of what the parents and the near relatives leave, and women shall have a portion of what the parents and the near relatives leave, whether there is little or much of it; a stated portion.
Here the men and women are the grown ups and are not children. They have slated portion to carry on the duties left behind by either their parents or their near relatives. Among the duties the first to be done is to settle the will and the debts of the deceased.
412
This verse begins by addressing the community as a whole comprising of men and women. Here it goes
- And you shall have half of what your wives leave if they have no child.
Since the husband has already been looking after her all along, it is addressed to the near relatives of the wives with regard to any settlement by way of her will or debt which is truly an extra burden. Here referring to child does not mean small children but grown up by then had they had them in time after marriage. In such situation the near relations of wife shall bear half the responsibility, until such a period, the situation in the family is normalised.
- But if they have a child, then you shall have a fourth of what they leave after payment of any bequest they may have bequeathed or a debt.
But if they have the child, then he shall bear too the duties to his mother, and they shall bear the fourth of it. The rest of a fourth shall be borne by the near relatives of wife.
- This apart, they shall have the fourth of what you leave if you have no child.
There might have been forced expenses from unforeseen circumstances for which had the husband gone in for debts on account of the deceased - then upon her relatives a fourth is due if you have no child.
- But if you have a child then they shall have the eighth of what you leave after payment of a bequest you may have bequeathed or a debt.
If you have child, then their share is even halved.
-
And if a man or a woman leaves commitments to be inherited by neither parents nor offspring, and he or she has a brother or a sister, then each of them two shall have the sixth.
-
But if they are more than that, they shall be sharers in the third after payment of any bequest that may have been bequeathed or a debt.
-
But it shall not cause loss to any.
While thus sharing the responsibilities, Allah is always compassionate on whom there is financial restrictions. They shall never be forced to take part. Surely Allah will not put to test any one beyond his scope to bear. In the path to salam compulsion is prohibited.
- This is an ordinance from Allah and Allah is Knowing, Forbearing.

Wherefrom you got 72 gold coins? This imaginary case has no standing here. They have nothing left with them like what you say according to 411.
OK make 5 coins and a donkey or anything of value in their possession at time of death.
Likewise when it says don't eat their wealth and hand over their properties when they reach maturity -- what is that talking about other than their inheritance?
410 surely the ones eating wealth the orphans injustice of only eating in bellies theirs fire of and will be burning a blaze
411 directs you the god in children yours...Please answer the questions posted earlier; what happens to inheritance/property of deceased rich or poor?
