Inheritance according to Qur?an
-
I hope you know the fact that collocates do effect the meanings of words in a sentence. He is not asked to address his personal servants. The following relative pronoun clarifies he is not addressing to his personal servants but allegiants who accept him as their rules, guide.
So in the case of Allah we are servants, and in the case of Muhammad we are allegiants, and not personal servants? I am confused.
Peace.

I do not understand. See this part of 411 verse carefully (I removed the bracket containing 'only'
"Allah instructs you concerning your children for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half."
What does it mean? Since you interpret the Quran literally. The sentence on daughters start with 'But'. Which means the previous statement on males inheriting twice of females gets abrogated apparently. Can you please try to make it clear for me? Thanks.
Peace.
But translated for conjunction particle "Fa" CORE-MEANING a grammatical word used in the middle of or at the beginning of a sentence to introduce something that is true in spite of either being or seeming contrary to what has just been said
introducing opposing proposition used to introduce a statement that disagrees with something just said- conjunction
introducing further information used to introduce a clause or a new sentence that adds information such as background or reasoning - conjunction
except that used to introduce a dependent clause, e.g. a reason for doing or not doing something
Arabic conjunction particle "Fa" is used for sequence, cause and effect relations, apodosis clause. So "but" can be used.
Both the clauses are mentioning a different and exclusive to each other ground reality and instructions are accordinglt given.
The syntactic analysis is given at Para 21-22 of the link I had given earlier. For convenince

I am confused. The verse says the male gets portion of two females, and if there are more than two females, they get 2/3 of the property. Can you demonstrate this in a real life case example as to how it would work?
And how to you interpret this part of the verse
"And if she is only one, then she will have one half."
Here for if she is only one, is it only one daughter as a child or only one daughter and some number of sons as well?
Peace.
No, please, read what I wrote and which as faithful translation as doable as far as I can jedge. It is not "portion of two females" it s the "portion of THE two females". The two females is a given and each gets a portion. The females are not counted as cattle, they are two specific individuals who each gets a portion.
You see, the Qur'an in the case of inheritance as in other things too, sets things as a function of females, that is set, and then the rest is fitted to that, which is the given factor.
So, if it is instructing regarding "your children, "awladicum" (all your children, daughters and sons) it does not change in the pararagraph to make it only one gender, nowhere is such change in the consideration introduced, it keeps to "awladicum" all along. You do not need to make any specification, becuse the basic factor are the females, the whole is settled as a function of them. So it does not matter what the rest is, it will be settled once the female part is settled. And since no distinction is made as to individual females or males, it is taken that the children of either sex will get each of them the same amount as the others. That is, of the two thirds alloted to the more than two females will be devided equally between them. As is previously done between the two females, which sets the measure since it is understood that the two females get the same amount or there wouldn't make sense to fix the amount for the male as the same as the amount of the two females.
And, again, where in the paragraph is it said that we have changed from dealing with "your children" (daughters and sons, whatever they are) and that we have started dealing only with the case of only daughters? There is no such thing, we are still with "your children".
And what is the problem. if you have a whole and then take two thirds, clearly there willbe one third left. If you take half there will be another half left. I am not a wheez at mathematics, but that far I can get, and anybody can get.
The problem is not hte Qur'an. The problem is not daring to think the "unthinkable", what? Poor overburdened males who really sacrifice their whole lives for the women will get less than them? Yes unthinkable. However to think that women who get the burden of given life and many times are abandoned by the selfscrificing males should get always or almost always half of what the males get that is perfectly thinkable, right? For God's sake, males are god...
No, the problem is not the Qur'an, the problem is the contumacious habit of not daring believe what it says, and instead try to "interpret" it. ?How could we let the Qur'an run riot with our beliefs?
You have the problem, Samira, not the Qur'an. Of course, you are not the only one who has a problem, far from that you are in plenty of company.
And that is one reason why I think God has allowed the rather irreligeous "west" to gain power, to open up a door from which honest belief in God and His revelation by sincere muslims may access to another stage of social conscience and humanity. God knows nd we do not. Praised be He and may He shower His guidance on us.

Peace.
A servant-subject is he who owes allegiance and servitude to his master. Servant is a limited word denoting a persons who serves some one else; a personal attendant to somebody is also called servant. So "allegiant" is a better word for Arabic 'abd" when referred with Allah the Exalted or the Messenger sas.

I am as confused as I could get regarding inheritance. I feel like I am rolling around in the mud with only mud in sight.
And that is one reason why I think God has allowed the rather irreligeous "west" to gain power, to open up a door from which honest belief in God and His revelation by sincere muslims may access to another stage of social conscience and humanity. God knows nd we do not. Praised be He and may He shower His guidance on us.
God did not let the West gain power, the West with their mindset and thinking gained power for themselves. Some of the Muslim countries are more blessed with their overload of natural resources. Yet due to having Muslim mindset from the scripture, the countries do not progress more than what would have been possible. See countries like Singapore. They built their country from scratch and is now a developed country, mainly for their mindset. The West adopted spiritual values from the 10 Commandments of Moses and teachings from the New Testament of Jesus, who first brought the teaching of The "Golden Rule", on 'do unto others what you would want for yourself', which I see nearly absent or hypocritical at times in the Quran in it's current interpretations, which gave them the opportunity to write on human rights and having a better conscience. I appreciate our Muslims' sense of modesty and chastity though.
Looks like for a long time we Muslims would have to look up to the West to teach us on human rights, and even give us human rights by migrating to the West or seeking their help, which many Muslims do already.

Go ahead, forget God and create the Church of the Divine West, and the divine bible with the devil Eve and its racists horrors and genocides.
Good luck.
Who are you trying to delude? For God's sake you seem to be swallowing the christianist bullshit. Those same that killed millions of women in the fire because they were witches. Who did away with any disidents by the harshest means, who very recently sent millions upon millions to death in two great wars, and destroyed Palestine and somalia, and iraq and Libya.
Go and suck up to them and good luck.

The spiritual values and teachings of Jesus in the New Testament are basically good ones. If the Christians cherry-pick his teachings only, the fruit would be good more or less. And it's not just the West, even the European countries and mostly founded on similar values and teachings. Sweden managed to deflect war in it's country during World War 2 through peaceful means. Scandinavian countries are all mostly peaceful. It's their mindset more than anything else which contributed to their current state of country. Iceland can easily be taken as a symbol for feminism, while being the developed and peaceful country it is.
Go ahead, forget God and create the Church of the Divine West, and the divine bible with the devil Eve and its racists horrors and genocides.
I wonder if the Muslims think and behave the same way when they migrate to the West and look up to them to give them their human rights, which they enforced in the first place.
I still have no idea how you interpreted the inheritance verse. An example of your theoretical explanation would be helpful.
Peace.

Good you pronounced her name properly. Instead of calling her "the devil Adam's mate".

Samaria, spare us, or at least me, your tricks aat moving posts and acting like the Qur'an is shit and christianity and Bible this and the Bible that. You make sorry fake with those things. If yu are interested in the Qur'an, discuss it loyaly, which you have not done yet. If what you ar einterested in is in spiting poison against the Qur'an and even God, go ahead andmake a laughing stock of yourself, but do not expect to get a better answer than what you give.
Your rants against the Qur'an and against other things yoou are so kin in discrediting and you ever so sweetness and sweet Jesus and that pop christian crap hope give you some profit in some respect, as to respect itself I doubt they willg et you any, but I also doubt that it is respect you are after or after being taken seriously.

There are a number of very good and beautiful teachings in the Quran. I appreciate that. But there seems to be an overwhelmingly large number of non-spiritual type teachings, which concerns me regarding the scripture. Just read Surah al-Anfal, al-Tawbah and al-Masad as examples. When contrasted with such types of teachings I appreciate the character and teachings of Jesus in the New Testament at a number of places. The Quran seems to be missing that spiritual depth within it. And no, I am not a Christian simply for appreciating Jesus.
I am just a truth seeker at this point, that's all.

Hello hawk99,
Um, can you show me how you translated those specific verses I showed in my last posts? Only then I can understand your point better.
Peace.
Peace Samira1234
Thank you for replying to my post.
I see nothing wrong with your translations, therefore I can conclude you do not understand my point.
I am convinced that you truly believe what you have learned from your atheist teacher to be true,
we have no conflict. Allah creates all kind of people from prophets to devils and all in between.As for the Quran you seem to be one of those who have been led astray by it
I will divert from My revelations those who are arrogant on earth, without justification.
Consequently, when they see every kind of proof they will not believe. And when they see the
path of guidance they will not adopt it as their path, but when they see the path of straying they
will adopt it as their path. This is the consequence of their rejecting our proofs, and being totally
heedless thereof.The mirror effect
The inherently violent person will "see" the Quran as a warriors manual, the confused
person will be confused by it, the non-believer will see it as nonsense, the humble
person will be made content by it. The person in search of salvation can find wisdom
and salvation in its ayats. The tyrant will use it to further his agenda, the believer will
fall prostrate.God bless you

"to the male similitude apportion the two (females)"
Which means the distribution, when two females and one male, is equal for all of them?

If you cannot find anything spiritual int he Qur'an I am sorry for you. It is not the Qur'an's fault that is for sure. The pparables of Jesus in the gospels are good. Some very, very good but I do not see what is the use of starting a competiton between parables and The Qur'an. If there is such competition of course I pick the Qur'an any time, but in fact, that bompetition you are bringing up is nonsense. Good things do not compete with each other and that competition things makes me distrust the sincerity of peopole who come up with it. For me there is no question fo choosing this rather than that when in fact there is no need of choosing, because AS THE QUR'AN SAYS there is only one religion which is self delivery to God, submission to God, some say, I don't like that translation of islam, but rather self-delivery into God's Mercy.
I spit in this idiocy of making prophets fight each other. Haven' you read the Qur'an and seen that we should not do that. That we must accept ll prophets and that God has sent prophets to all peopple and that they are all one, no conflict between them?
What 3isa taught is what all prophets have taught everywhere.

So you see nothing wrong with the translations of those verses I mentioned earlier? Those verses give a crystal-clear picture of hell, which is a roaring and raging fire, with hell angels, zaqqum tree and pus for food, boiling water being poured on the person which will melt their insides, etc. And somehow "magically" you transformed all of them into allegories. When I ask you on them, you don't reply how you turned them into allegories, you call me "arrogant".
Seeing this verse
I will divert from My revelations those who are arrogant on earth, without justification.
Consequently, when they see every kind of proof they will not believe. And when they see the
path of guidance they will not adopt it as their path, but when they see the path of straying they
will adopt it as their path. This is the consequence of their rejecting our proofs, and being totally
heedless thereof.The Western and the European countries are seemingly "diverted" from the Quran, and are apparently doing just fine, actually better than a number of Muslim countries, particularly those without natural resources such as oil. And what proofs am I rejecting? I am trying to see things clearly without being religiously indoctrinated as I was my whole life and saw things with rose-coloured lenses, and people are trying to put me back in that religious indoctrination again. I don't know why.
The mirror effect
The inherently violent person will "see" the Quran as a warriors manual, the confused
person will be confused by it, the non-believer will see it as nonsense, the humble
person will be made content by it. The person in search of salvation can find wisdom
and salvation in its ayats. The tyrant will use it to further his agenda, the believer will
fall prostrate.In other words people according to their subjective conscience and reasoning will see things as they see fit. And this is actually a drawback of the Quran in it's current interpretations. A good person would practice the good teachings and ignore the bad and unjust parts in the Quran, and the one who is prone to violence and fleshly attitude would practice the bad and the unjust and ignore the good teachings. For me I am trying to see it all with an unbiased eye. And getting blamed for that now. It's obvious everybody is steeped in their religious indoctrination in their own way.
Peace.

What 3isa taught is what all prophets have taught everywhere.
Yeah the Prophets were supposed to preach the same message. But then, also the character of Eisa and Muhammad are in several ways sky and earth different. Muhammad apparently didn't seem to be as peaceful and merciful as Jesus was, in character and personality. Even just seeing the Quran's verses.
Also check verse 665. In that verse the wives of Muhammad were threatened to either "shape up", or be divorced and replaced with another harem of women in their place. I wonder what on earth happened that would cause even Allah to send revelation to resolve the matter. I doubt the wives were "that" bad that they would be threatened to even be replaced with another set in their place.
665 It may be that he would divorce you, then his Lord will substitute other wives in your place who are better than you; submitting, believing, dutiful, repentant, worshipping, devout, mature and youthful.
Anyway, I don't think there is any point discussing these matters further. I guess I am pretty much done here. People are already hurling accusations on me being arrogant, biased to see the bad, etc.

Indeed. that is what I meant when I spoke about the French proverb
Love is like a Spanish inn, you eat there what you yourself bring.
Useless to look for sincerity when one is being unsincere, to look for help, when one does not offer help (even to oneself), to look for love when one does not have love in his or her heart.
God, is fair and just. Gives you what you ask for.
And a beautiful for all believers a beautiful aya

Why does God need to produce creatures to ask for our forgiveness? Can't He forgive us directly? Isn't that a form of intercession in heavens, of angels on behalf of us? I don't get why God would spend time setting up angels to ask for our forgiveness when He could directly forgive us.

Peace,
Here are the verses which if followed literally will give precise amounts without excess/shortfall.
411 directs you The God in your children to the male like share the two (feminine) so if be females above two (feminine) so for them two thirds what left and if she was one so for her the half and for their parents to each one from them the sixth from what left if is to person walad/son so if not is to person waladun child/born and heirs person?s parents (if only parents) so to his mother the third so if is to person ikh'watun brothers/siblings (at least one male present) so to his mother the sixth from after a will have made in it or judgment your parents and your children not you know which of them closer to you benefit obligation from The God indeed The God is Knowing Wise
412 and for you half what left your spouse?s if not is for them waladun child/born so if is for them walad/son so for you the fourth from what they left from after a will they made in it or judgment and for them the fourth from what you left if not is to you waladun child/born so if is to you walad/son so for them the eight from what you left from after a will you made in it or judgment and if is a man inherited kallatan (fatherless spouseless) or woman and has a brother or sister so for each one from them the sixth so if they were more from that so they partners in the third from after a will is recommended in it or judgment not harmful a will from The God and The God Knowing Forbearing

Pay careful attention to see 411 kalala no son; 412 kalala with son; 4176 the kalala no child/born.
Salam,
First of all you totally ignore the basic principles of reading a text. You realize not what is meant by a condition clause and its apodosis clause. When condition is not met, the apodosis clause is no more applicable and of legal consequence.
You also realize not that each conditional clause is exclusive to other situation/conditional clause.
You do not differentiate between different conjuncts, like Fa and Waw and Fa for apodosis.
You do not care to determine from where a sentence starts and where it ends.
You either know not or ignore a sentence by structure nor its type by meanings.
You realize not which word is the Subject of sentence and which word/s are its predicate.
You realize not who is the subject/noun of verb; and if subject/noun is hidden to whom it is referring.
You either know not as to what is the function of a prepositional phrase in a sentence or deliberately ignore it.You care not about suffixed pronouns as to whom it refer.
Moreover, you care not whether verb is perfect or imperfect, and if imperfect what is its mood.Please don't take offence, if you know above point please analyse the aforementioned Ayahs according to accepted norms of translating a text.

) Why are you so desperately seeking approval for your points of view? Don't feel so "picked on"
because folks don't agree with you. The best way to find agreement is to speak to likeminded people.
Many atheist, Christians, Hindus, and Jews would agree with you but not many Muslims. Many atheist,
Christians, Hindus, and Jews would not agree with me, realizing this, I would not trouble myself
with force feeding my point of view in their forums. If for some reason (which I can't conceive of
