Inheritance according to Qur?anSalam
Dear Sir, Quran is not a law textbook. U r busy with something already abrogated. Gender discrimination is not accepted. 2106 provided u with abrogation mechanism. Quran is a miracle forever and more important than heir division. I can explain how all verses with gender differences are abrogated.

Inheritance according to Qur?anEMT1851H Surat al-Baqara An Introduction to the Quran
Emmanuel College Toronto School of Theology
Fall 2016
Reflection Paper
Maddinan ? Al Nesa
Seyed M. Haghshenas
Although Al-Nesa means ?women? in Arabic and almost one fifth of the verses are considering female gender in social affairs like marriage and heritage, it is mainly (144 verses) discussing and explaining worshiping Allah. Beside different quantities, the qualities of the two main topics (whether social affairs or obeying God encouragement) are also different and it seems that many social judgements about women are already abrogated. So contradictory with what the name proposes, the chapter mainly explains worshiping God and God?s characteristics. After an introduction of the chapter, the main topics are discussed in the following paragraphs.
It is the fourth chapter of the Holy Book. Being composed of 176 verses, it starts in Juz
4 and after passing over the 5th one, ends in Juz 6. So its volume is more than a Juz or >1/30 of the Quran. As all Maddinan revelations, this chapter is also a long one with mixed subjects that may happen in an urban community. The verses have different sizes, a few have only one phrase but at the same time some have more than 10 parts. Some parts are only repeating while they may appear to confirm by reasoning or emphasizing. The Sura initiates by a verse addressing people and inviting them to obey their God and finishes with a verse about dividing heir between family members and relatives. Again the beginning verse is a sign of importance for its topic.
Looking at how verses start, three inclusios are obvious, however it is very hard to choose a practical indication for them. Looking more carefully to whole verses, most probably some other meaningful phrases would pop up.
is the first one that is the starting phrase for verses 44 and 51. And surprisingly another set of inclusion starts in between from the verse number 48,
These two phrases initiate two verses ? 48 and 116 ? to surround 67 verses and all 69 verses are about Allah and worshiping except only 68 that will come as my best verse. And they end with a similar phrase to form two verses with three common parts and one different endings,
(١ Two repetitions of a phrase has sandwiched and emphasized two related middle parts. The verse number 131 which shows this intrinsic emphasis, depicts another extrinsic template by being captured by a former verse ? 126 ? and a following one ? 132 ? which both have the same phrase. Moreover, an almost similar phrase is repeated in verse number 171. Going back to 131, the enhanced part claims that the prophet followers are not different than the people of the book and should rectify their beliefs.
Repetitions and Inclusios to-be are inside the worshiping verses but there is only one verse penetrating this region that is about moral issues that is my best verse all over this chapter. Interestingly enough its place is numerically and mathematically is midpoint between 48 and 116 and it is the verse 86. (٦ ?When ye are greeted with a greeting, greet ye with a better than it or return it. Lo! Allah taketh count of all things.?
? O ye who believe! ? is the beginning address of five verses 19. 29.43. 94, 135 and 144.
(٧ (٨ And these two are the smallest verses and both contain a phrase with 19 letters. 67>>>19+4 and 68>>>19 For counting letters the first word of 67 should be ignored and the meaning is not altered.
? O mankind! ? is mentioned three times to launch a verse the first one is the first verse, and the second 170th verses and the last one is 174. The former invites the people to believe in God and the latter introduces the prophet to be followed.
Some famous verses will be discussed simultaneously with the main topics. However a general one will come here (٢ ? Will they not then ponder on the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity.? This verse has recently triggered many Q,As among scholars to find a response for contradictions that a good one is a new definition for revelation and transference.
Now, let us consider the portion about worshiping. They compose a little more than four fifth of Al-Nesa (144 verses out of 176). One of these verses is the first verse but verses about social affairs are succeeding and a few of them penetrate the worshiping part and the Sura finishes with a verse discussing heritage. This penetrating format also happens vice versa when a few worshiping verses interrupt the initial social block. For instance, the verses 17 and 18 are not homogenous with the block because they are about repenting among the worshiping verses.
The worshiping block starts with the verse 44 that is the first inclusion. It claims that some people of the book has changed scriptures. Many verses afterward address the Jewish or the people of the book. And Muslims are assimilated to them in a sandwiched portion. St. Mary and his son are named to say negative feedbacks about their audience as well as many prophets in a row. The first prophet who appears is Abraham in 54. Four verses 74 ? 77 are encouraging believers to fight in favor of God. 100 is positive toward immigrations.
At last, 44 verses are about social affairs. They can be classified to those which are related to gender differences such as heritage and those that are not gender dependent like donations. In many situations genders are the same but in family affairs, they are different and some cases will be discussed. Nobody nowadays withstand an obvious discrimination such as those that mentioned in the chapter. Those cases are about marriage or heritage. Some verses suggest sharing of wealth with the poor and seem to be nonsense in a modern community as social insurance prohibits unfulfilled needs.
According to the first verse, it is still obscure whether Adam or Eve has been created in advance. Instead of a name, a character is used that is female in Arabic. I think the ambiguity is intentional. Furthermore, this verse is abrogating many following and discriminating verses because there is no clue for superiority of male gender. From biologic point of view, it is easier to create a woman at first if a supposed deity is going to form a couple because a she lacks only Y chromosomes that can be added. I think creation is more like adding than removing.
Some verses about forbidden forms of marriage that are useless now.
is very famous but I see it ironically. Nobody expect God to provide a reason but all reasons should work to approve the claim. Here the reason does not make sense and the verse is abrogated. Superficially it claim that men are superior but the reason is judging men not comparing two genders.
Overall Al-Nesa means women and it includes some verses that judges them inferiorly but they are abrogated by some other verses of the same chapter or even the even verse. So I reflect my idea that this Sura is about God and worshiping.
Ps, I have used Access software for data management and I share it.And the file is for public.

Inheritance according to Qur?anI am a Master student of theology at UofT. I have done my reflection on the 4th chapter with many verses about heritage but they are all abrogated by the first verse. Quran is not a Law textbook. I will attach my reflection and about the 1st verse of the fourth chapter, please see my weblog
https//godsreligionblog.wordpress.com/2016/11/29/adam-or-eve-who-was-the-firstIt is waste of time if we think God has divided heirs forever.

فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلۡمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذۡعِ ٱQuran is everything, it may include a calendar like Jew's. Jews had chains of prophets, so their calendar might be authentic. All of you know Ayat al-Kursi by heart. It has 9 phrases (4 initial + 1 central + 4 last). YouTube has many videos for the system. My idea is new
is the central phrase. 22 letters equal the prophecy years. It seems 2255 is Quranic calendar. We have started the 3rd chapter. This year is 7775? -not sure- Jewish year. We need a software for letters be counted. The ending letter of 2255 should coincide the prophet's death. -
Quran is for peopleSalam everybody, Quran is a miracle forever. If it is a miracle, it speaks with all people all the time. Allah knew how Arabic changes in 14 centuries. Those whose mother tongue is Arabic can understand it beyond Tafsir. It is not a monopoly for Muslims. The first addressing verse addresses mankind not Muslims(220). Muslims might have misunderstood it so let Atheist Arabs interpret it. Atheists have no preoccupation.
