Qur'an 20090201

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

176. They ask you for a legal decision. Say, "Allah directs about those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs. If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance. If a woman, who left no child, her brother takes her inheritance. If there are two sisters, they shall have two thirds of the inheritance. If there are brothers and sisters, the male having twice the share of the female. Thus does Allah make clear to you, lest you err. And Allah has Knowledge of all things."

Qur'an 20090125

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

127. They ask your instruction concerning the women. Say, "Allah does instruct you about them, and remember what has been rehearsed unto you in the Book, concerning the orphans of women to whom you give not the portions prescribed, and yet whom you desire to marry, as also concerning the children who are weak and oppressed: That you stand firm for justice to orphans. There is not a good deed which you do, but Allah is well-acquainted therewith."

Qur'an 20090116

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

77. Have you not turned your vision to those who were told to hold back their hands, but establish regular prayers, and spend in regular charity? When the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! A section of them feared men as- or even more than- they should have feared Allah. They said, "Our Lord! Why have You ordered us to fight? Would You not grant us respite to our term nearby?" Say, "Short is the enjoyment of this world. The Hereafter is the best for those who do right. Never will you be dealt with unjustly in the very least!"

78. Wherever you are, death will find you out, even if you are in towers built up strong and high! If some good befalls them, they say, "This is from Allah," but if evil, they say, "This is from you." Say, "All things are from Allah." But what has come to these people, that they fail to understand a single fact?

The Women 4:77-78
