    Peace All

    After going tru the tread I'm still confuse, before and after. The short lesson here is leave a good Will.

    Unfortunately in Malaysia, the sectarians has overruled the Quran and says the faraid (the ones the Malaysian sectarians created not the Quran's) can overrule the Will. So many God wannabes! In my case, I pity my children and wife who are all females, given that my wealth is to be administered by my brothers???

    Peace.

      It is very wicked that the malist tyrany has snatched the religion to make it its instrument, because after that any who wants justice will be forced to attack religion, and inded they may feelinclined to do so,becuse if rligion comes insistently in the form of injustice it will be indeed very sincerely rejected.

      Real believers should liberate religion from the clutches of worldly minded petty tyrans.

          Indeed, when a pure person foregoes easy earnings through moral slackness to some he or she may look like an idiot and if the person changes his or her midn because of that she will open hell for herself, but if she keeps his or her purity she will keep heaven.

              The Qur'an is not a book of civil law, administrative law or criminal law...

              I hope one day Muslims will understand that these are completely useless debates nope

              When I was a fundamentalist/literalist Qur'an only Muslim, I had tons of different tafsirs and Qur'an translations on my shelves (still have some) and was constantly trying to figure out what the magical "true meanings" of Qur'an verses were. This is a complete dead-end. These "efforts" will never solve any problems, they will never lead to anything positive in any society. They will not bring more justice or peace to Muslim countries (on the contrary). It has absolutely no benefit whatsoever to anyone anywhere. Also, without historical context there is no meaning.. Qur'an only Muslims are deceiving themselves without knowing to make the Qur'an more "palatable". It's a very innocent and naive attempt but faulty....

                Peace ? was there something that needs further clarification or only posting due to frustration?
                Inheritance verses require logical reasoning teach to look at all related if then else statements.

                    No, your efforts to dissuade and create doubt are futile. I am content and the above verses perfectly clear ? actually beautiful akin to a computer program; then again if one never applies careful logic to each word they may never see it.

                      Brother Noon

                      We had this discussions before. I still hold that the inheritance rules in Qur'an can be implemented in several ways with some core principles being hard-coded. The society has the flexibility to implement within these guiding principles. I view your interpretation as one of the several potential plausible interpretations but not the only possible option.

                      However just to highlight a possible confusion from the above summary.. what is your suggested distribution for 10 sons and 4 daughters assuming no other beneficiaries? Are you suggesting sons would get 1/30 each and daughters 1/6 each? That is what your second chart means for me.

                      Regards,
                      Arman

                        Peace Arman, one can write a will hence there is the flexibility, otherwise one cannot make stuff up according to what they think it should read and likewise whatever they propose needs to be consist and not contradicting for each of the numerous combinations as in the above examples.

                        Yes, no confusion it's clearly written...
                        411 ... so if be nisan/womenfolk fawqa/above two (if 3+ daughters) so for them (f/p) third dual (1/3 x 2 = 2/3) what left

                          Thanks for clarifying your understanding.

                          Per my reading however " " translates as "If they are women more than two" rather than "If be women more than two". And the implication is vast.

                          Best regards,
                          Arman

                              Recluse,

                              Of course, the whole concept of inheritance here is stupid and one can see that it is the work of clerics.

                              When a father and mother have both died then their children will split their parents possessions equally. But when their either mother or father is alive in the flesh then certainly all possessions still remains with the widow as he or she is the other's half.

                              Not so hard to understand without some kind of scripture. Self-explanatory.

                              The importance for these clerics and scholars who interpreted Quran with inheritance only shows their Pagan (worldly) view.

                              One of the passages in which speaks of inheritance in the sectarian interpretation actually speaks about the grand responsibility of getting children and advice concerning it, in the real interpretation.

                              Be well
                              Amenuel

                                Thanks for clarifying your understanding.

                                Per my reading however " " translates as "If they are women more than two" rather than "If be women more than two". And the implication is vast.

                                Peace Arman, it's simple count how many; no difference or implications on distributions and to be more precise...

                                so if kunna/be/are (feminine pl.) nisan/womenfolk fawqa/above ith'natayni/two (feminine dual).

                                Also like to ask posters to stay on topic; thread is on inheritance verses according to Qur'an not about self doubt, futility, or opinions on how to divide wealth etc., perhaps open different topic, this thread is long enough already...

                                  So does anybody here really believe that inheritance "according to the Qur'an" is more just than inheritance law in Sweden, the Netherlands or Germany, for example?

                                      That implies hat eople here know what the laws of those countries provide and not lessthat they do know what the Qur'an rovides, which obviously is not the same as knowing what the people, whoever says that the Qur'an says. Notto beconfused the Qur'an with what anybody says the Qur'an says.

                                      And not to be forgotten what other laws provide that together with inheritance may in fact turn out in an unfairer or fairer distribution.

                                      Not me.

                                      I am surpried thaxt you do not have here some interretation of the Qur'an of yours that topples all those fantasies about its meanings ther peole have.

                                      Salaam

                                        Huruf,

                                        I have not yet reached that part yet in the project, albeit once when I was curious I spontaneously deciphered one alleged inheritance verse and I found it spoke about getting children. Details about that will, an sh allah, come in some time.

                                        But it is easy to just reflect logically to see there is absolutely no reason to state some inheritance law as that ought to come clear on its own. I think even an adolescent could work it out.

                                        And I find the weird inheritance claim regarding verses to be unnecessarily confusing for something that simple.

                                        And it seems only to deal with fiscal matter as it clumsily partitions a greater deal to males as if money is all that is worth anything. And I am not buying that the sons have a greater responsibility because the daughters are too married to men who have families with children. The split should be even to be fair.

                                        And if either husband or wife dies then the other will hold the possessions until both are dead and after that the remnants are shared with the children. The wife and husband are as one flesh even through death.

                                        Be well
                                        Amenuel

                                          Bingo )

                                          And the simple reason for that is because the Qur'an is mostly addressing the Arabs of 1400 years ago, it's not addressing any of us here. None of those Qur'anic "laws" have any relation to our own reality in the here and now, but this is extremely hard to accept for those who worship the book and equate that book with God (or God's might) Himself. They think the Qur'an is on the same level as God's knowledge when it's just a book confined by time and space, a certain culture (Arab), history and socio-economic situation. To fundamentalists accepting this simple reality would be equal to disbelief in God Himself (because God = Qur'an = Perfect) and enough to deserve eternal Hellfire. I used to think like that too, but when I learned about alternative views (initially by some Turkish Islamic scholars), I understood that I had been duped and indoctrinated from childhood.

                                          As the Qur'an says;

                                          "Those who listen to all that is said, and follow the best of it it is they whom God has graced with His guidance, and it is they who are endowed with insight"

                                          Peace,
