You shall inherit one half of your wives' estate if they leave nochild, but if they leave behind a child then you will get onefourth of their estate, after fulfilling the terms of their lastwill and the payment of debts. Your wives shall inherit onefourth if you leave no child behind you; but if you leave achild, then they shall get one-eighth of your estate; afterfulfilling the terms of your last will and the payment of debts.If a man or a woman leaves neither ascendant nor descendants buthas left a brother or a sister, they shall each inherit onesixth, but if they are more than two, they shall share one thirdof the estate; after fulfilling the terms of the last will andthe payment of debts; without prejudice to the rights of theheirs. Thus is the commandment of Allah. Allah is Knowledgeable,Forbearing.
They ask you for a legal decision relating to inheritance in thecase of a childless person. Say: Allah gives you His decisionabout those who leave no descendants or ascendants as heirs. If aman dies childless and leaves behind a sister, she shall inheritone-half of his estate. If a woman dies childless, her brotherwill inherit all of her estate. If the childless person leavesbehind two sisters, they both shall inherit two-third of hisestate; but if he leaves more than two brothers and sisters, theshare of each male shall be equal to that of two females. ThusAllah makes His commandments clear to you lest you go astray.Allah has perfect knowledge of everything.
For sure, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and thealternation of the night and the day there are signs for men ofunderstanding.
Those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying ontheir sides, and meditate on the creation of the heavens and theearth. Then cry out:" Our Rabb! You have not created this invain. Glory to You! Save us from the punishment of Fire.
When you finish your Salah (prayers) remember Allah whether youare standing, sitting or reclining; then as soon as you are safe(out of danger) establish regular Salah in full. Surely Salah aremade obligatory for the believers at their prescribed times.
Have they never looked at the sky above them, and marked how Wehave made it and adorned it, and there are no flaws in it?
And the earth, how We have spread it out and set upon itmountains and caused to grow in it every kind of beautifulvegetation.
All these things are eye-openers and a reminder for every servantreturning to Allah.
We send down blessed water from the sky with which We bring forthgardens and the harvest grain,
Do they not see the sky and the earth that surrounds them fromfront and from behind? If We want, We can cave in the earth toswallow them up or let the fragments of the sky fall upon them.Surely there is a sign in this for every devotee that turns toAllah in repentance.
and in the alternation of night and day, in the sustenance thatAllah sends down from heaven with which He revives the earthafter its death and in the changing of the winds, there are signsfor those who use their common sense.
As for those that taunt the believers who give freely andridicule those who find nothing to give except the fruits oftheir labor; Allah will throw back their ridicule on them andthey shall have a painful punishment.
Those who accuse chaste but careless believing women are cursedin this life, and in the Hereafter they shall have a grievouspunishment.
mischief making slanderer,
Most surely Allah knows those who believe and knows those who arethe hypocrites.
The unbelievers say to the believers: "Follow us, and we willbear the burden of your sins". But they will not bear any burdenof their sins; they are surely lying.
Of course, they shall bear their own burdens as well as theburdens of others in addition to their own; and on the Day ofResurrection they shall be questioned about their invented lies.
We sent Nuh (Noah) to his people and he lived among them athousand years less fifty. Then because of their wrongdoings theflood overtook them.
But We delivered him and all who were in the ark and We made thatark a sign for the peoples of the world.
Likewise Ibrahim (Abraham), when he said to his people: "WorshipAllah and fear Him, this is better for you if you understand.
You worship idols besides Allah and fabricate falsehood. In fact,those whom you worship besides Allah have no power to give youyour sustenance, therefore seek your sustenance from Allah, andworship Him. Give thanks to Him, for to Him you shall bereturned.
If you deny the Message, then nations have denied before you .The only duty a Rasool has is to deliver Allah's Messageclearly."
Do they not see how Allah originates creation then repeats itsprocess? Surely it is easy for Allah.
O Prophet! When the believing women come to you to take the oathof allegiance , take their pledge: that they will not commitshirk with Allah, that they will not steal, that they will notcommit adultery, that they will not kill their children, thatthey will not give any cause for scandal which they may inventbetween either their hands or legs (a woman accusing anotherwoman of having an illicit relationship with a man and spreadssuch stories - or - a woman carrying an illegitimate child andmakes her husband believe that it is his), and that they will notdisobey you in any just matter, then accept their allegiance andpray to Allah for the forgiveness. Surely Allah is Oft-Forgiving,most Merciful.
Neither yield to any mean oath-monger,
mischief making slanderer,
opponent of good, transgressor,
wicked oppressor, and above all, ignoble by birth,
though he be possessing wealth and children.
When Our revelations are recited to him , he says: "They arenothing but the tales of the ancient."
Soon We shall brand him on the snout.
Those who accuse chaste but careless believing women are cursedin this life, and in the Hereafter they shall have a grievouspunishment.
Such people should not forget that Day when their own tongues,their own hands and their own feet will testify against theirmisdeeds.
On that Day, Allah will give them the full reward they deserve,then they will realize that Allah is the One Who manifests theTruth.
Unclean women are for unclean men, and unclean men are forunclean women; and pure women are for pure men, and pure men arefor pure women. They are free from the slanderer's accusations;for them there shall be forgiveness and honorable provision fromAllah.
O believers! Be not like those who slandered Musa, but Allahcleared him of what they said - for he was honorable in the sightof Allah.
Among the Jews there are some who take the words out of theircontext and utter them with a twist of their tongues to slanderthe true Deen (faith) and say: "We hear and we disobey;" and"Hear, may you (O Muhammad) hear nothing!" And "Ra'ina" (anambiguous word meaning: "listen, may you become deaf," or "ourshepherd," or "in judeo-Arabic language conveying the sense of"our evil one"). If only they had said: "We hear and we obey;"and "Hear us;" and "Unzurna ("look upon us," or " pay attentionto us"): it would have been better for them and more proper. Dueto all this Allah has cursed them for their unbelief. In factwith the exception of a few, they have no faith.
You are forbidden to eat the meat of any animal that dies byitself (dead body), blood, the flesh of swine (pork) and that onwhich any name other than Allah has been invoked; also that whichis strangled to death , killed by a violent blow, killed by aheadlong fall and of those beaten or gored to death; and thatwhich has been partly eaten by a wild animal unless you are ableto slaughter it before its death; also that which is sacrificedon altars or is divided by raffling of arrows. All these aresinful acts. Today the unbelievers have given up all their hopeof vanquishing your religion. Have no fear of them, fear Me.Today I have perfected your religion for you, completed my favorupon you and approved Al-Islam as a Deen (way of life for you).Anyone who is compelled by hunger to eat what is forbidden, notintending to commit sin, will find Allah Forgiving, Merciful.
And let those who do not find means to marry keep themselveschaste until Allah enriches them out of His bounty. As for thoseof your slaves who wish to buy out their liberty, execute thedeed of liberty with them if you find them deserving, and givethem some of the wealth which Allah has given you. Do not forceyour slave-girls into prostitution for your own worldly gains, ifthey wish to preserve their chastity; and if anyone forces theminto it, then surely after such a compulsion Allah will beforgiving and merciful to them.

Say: "Praise be to Allah and peace be on His servants whom He haschosen to deliver His message. Ask them: " Who is better? Allahor the deities they associate with Him?"
He (Jesus) was no more than a mortal whom We favored and made anexample to the children of Israel.
Another example is in the life of Maryam, the daughter of `Imran,who guarded her chastity, and into whose womb We breathed of Ourspirit, who testified to the words of her Rabb, and Hisscriptures, and was one of the obedient.
For you are the same people, who used to make fun of some of Myworshippers who prayed: 'Our Rabb, We believe in You; pleaseforgive us and have mercy on us, for You are the Best of thosewho show mercy!'
But you ridiculed them so much, that you even forgot My veryexistence, and went on laughing at them.
Today I have rewarded them for their fortitude, and they are theones who have achieved bliss."

Get the singles among you married as well as those who are fitfor marriage among your male slaves and female slaves. If theyare poor, Allah will make them free from want out of His grace:for Allah has boundless resources and is All-Knowing.
O believers! Let your servants and those children who have notyet attained puberty ask your permission before coming in to seeyou on three occasions: before Fajr Salah (dawn prayer), at noonwhen you put off your clothes, and after the Isha Salah (nightprayer). These are your three times of privacy. At other times,there is no blame on you if you, or they, go around visiting oneanother. Thus Allah makes His revelations clear to you, for Allahis All-Knowing, All-Wise.
Righteousness is not whether you turn your face towards East orWest; but the righteousness is to believe in Allah, the Last Day,the Angels, the Books and the Prophets, and to spend wealth outof love for Him on relatives, orphans, helpless, needytravellers, those who ask for and on the redemption of captives;and to establish Salah (prayers), to pay Zakah (alms), to fulfillpromises when made, to be steadfast in distress, in adversity,and at the time of war. These people are the truthful and theseare the pious.

It is the freeing of a neck (slave) from bondage;
Ask them to think carefully and answer: "When you face a disasteror the last Hour approaches you, do you call for help anyoneother than Allah? Answer me if you are truthful!"
Kill them wherever they confront you in combat and drive them outof the places from which they have driven you. Though killing isbad, creating mischief is worse than killing. Do not fight themwithin the precincts of the Sacred Mosque unless they attack youthere; but if they attack you put them to the sword; that is thepunishment for such unbelievers.
After all this, they still broke their covenant, rejected theRevelation of Allah, killed the Prophets unjustly. Yet they say:"Our hearts are in secure wrappings which have preserved Allah'sWord; we need no more." Nay! It is Allah who has sealed theirhearts on account of their disbelief. They have no faith except alittle.
They went in their unbelief to such an extent that they utteredterrible slander against Maryam (Mary).
They even say: "We have killed the Messiah, Isa (Jesus), son ofMaryam, the Rasool of Allah." Whereas in fact, neither did theykill him nor did they crucify him but they thought they didbecause the matter was made dubious for them. Those who differtherein are only in doubt. They have no real knowledge, theyfollow nothing but merely a conjecture, certainly they did notkill him (Jesus).
Nay! The fact is that Allah took him up to Himself. Allah isMighty, Wise.
Warn those who deny Allah's revelations, slay the Prophetswithout any justification, and kill those from among the peoplewho enjoin justice about the news of a painful punishment.
They are the ones whose deeds will become void in this world andin the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.
who do not invoke any other god besides Allah, nor kill any soulwhich Allah has made sacred, except for a just cause, nor commitfornication - he that does this shall be punished for his sin,
and his punishment shall be doubled on the Day of Resurrectionand in disgrace he shall abide forever,
except the one who repents, becomes a true believer, and startsdoing good deeds, for then Allah will change his evil deeds intogood, and Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

When the forbidden months (10,11,12 & 1 of the Islamic calendar) are over, then fight the mushrikïn wherever you find them, seize them, besiege them, and lie in ambush for them in every stratagem of war, but if they repent, establish Salah and pay Zakah, then let them go their way: surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
To Musa (Moses) We gave the Book (Torah) and sent after him otherRasools in succession; then We gave Isa (Jesus), the son ofMaryam (Mary), clear Signs and strengthened him with the HolySpirit (Gabriel). Why is it that whenever there came to you aRasool with a message which did not suit your desires, you becameso arrogant that some you called impostors and others you killed!
Warn those who deny Allah's revelations, slay the Prophetswithout any justification, and kill those from among the peoplewho enjoin justice about the news of a painful punishment.
They are the ones whose deeds will become void in this world andin the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers.
Allah has heard the statement of those who said: " Allah is poorand we are rich!" Their words are recorded and so is their unjustkillings of the Prophets." On the Day of Judgement, We shall say:"Taste now the torment of burning!
When they are asked to believe in what Allah has revealed, theyreply: "we only believe in what Allah has sent to us (Torah), andwe reject what is beside that," while it is the truth confirmingtheir own scriptures! Ask them, "if you sincerely believe in whatwas sent to you , why did you kill the Prophets of Allah who weresent to you from amongst yourselves before?"
Disgrace will be branded on them wherever they are found exceptwhen they get refuge under the favor of Allah or the patronage ofother people; they have incurred the wrath of Allah and have beenbranded with misery because they disbelieved Allah's revelationsand slew His prophets unjustly and because they disobeyed andtransgressed the limits.
It is Allah Who recalls the souls of men upon their death, and ofthe living during their sleep. He withholds the souls of those onwhom He has passed the decree of death, and restores the resttill an appointed term. Surely there are signs in this for thosewho think.
And among His signs is your sleep at night and quest for Hisbounty during the day; surly there are signs in this for thosewho pay heed.
So woe to those who offer Salah (prayers),
but are neglectful of their Salah (offer Prayers but disregardthe very purpose of establishing Salah - to have the fear ofAllah and be mindful to the needs of other people);
those who make a show of piety
and refuse to share the necessities of life.
Therefore, when you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield smitetheir necks and, when you have thoroughly subdued them, then takeprisoners of war and bind them firmly. After the war lay down herburdens, then you have the choice whether you show them favor oraccept ransom. Thus are you commanded. If Allah wanted, HeHimself could have punished them; but He adopted this way so thatHe may test some of you by means of others. As for those who areslain in the cause of Allah, He will never let their deeds belost.
We let loose rain of brimstone and every one of them was killed;see what was the outcome for such criminals.
Once in an expedition he was marching with his army when theycame across a valley of ants, one of the ants said: "O ants, getinto your habitations lest Sulaiman and his army crush you undertheir feet without even noticing it."
Allah has not put two hearts in a person's body: nor does Heregard your wives whom you divorce through Zihar (divorcing awife saying; from now on you are as my mother, depriving herconjugal rights yet keeping her like a slave nor letting hermarry anyone else) as your mothers: nor does He regard youradopted sons as your sons. These are mere words which you utterwith your mouths; but Allah declares the Truth and guides you tothe Right Way.
They say: "Allah has taken to Himself a son;" Allah is above suchthings! Rather, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and inthe earth; all are obedient to Him.
He is the Creator of the heavens and the earth ! When He decreesa thing, He needs only to say, "Be," and there it becomes.
Indeed those have committed Kufr (rejected faith) who said, "Godis the Messiah, son of Maryam." O Muhammad, ask them, "Who hasthe power to prevent Allah if He chose to destroy the Messiah theson of Maryam, his mother and all that is in the earth? Allah hasthe sovereignty over the heavens and the earth and all that isbetween them. He creates what He pleases and has power overeverything".
The Jews and the Christians say: "We are the children of Allahand His beloved ones." Ask them, "Why then does He punish you foryour sins? Nay! In fact you are human beings like others which Hehas created. He forgives whom He pleases and He punishes whom Hepleases. To Allah belongs the sovereignty of the heavens and theearth and all that is between them, and to Him is the finalrefuge."
Yet they make the Jinns (Genies: creature which has been createdout of fire) as the partners with Allah, whereas He is theirCreator; and also ascribe to Him sons and daughters withouthaving any knowledge. Glory to Him! He is highly exalted farabove what they ascribe.
He is the creator of the heavens and the earth. How could He havea son when He has no consort? He has created everything and isaware of everything.
They (Jews and Christians) say: "Allah has begotten a son!" Glorybe to Him! He is self-sufficient! His is all that is in theHeavens and in the Earth! Have you any proof for what you say?Would you ascribe to Allah something about which you have noknowledge?
O Prophet, tell them: "Those who ascribe false things to Allahwill never prosper."
Well, they may have a little enjoyment in this world, buteventually they have to return to Us and then We will make themtaste the severest punishment for their unbelief.
Further to warn those who say "Allah has begotten a son."
They have no knowledge about it, nor do their forefathers, this is a monstrous word that comes from their mouths. They speak nothing but a lie.
It is not befitting to the majesty of Allah that He Himselfshould beget a son! He is far above this (weakness to get a sonfor name, fame, help or continuity of race); for when He decreesa matter He need only say: "Be" and it is.
Those who say: "The Compassionate (God) has begotten a son,
" certainly preach such a monstrous falsehood,
that the very Heavens might crack, the earth might cleave asunderand the mountains might crumble to pieces
- at their ascribing a son to the Compassionate (God),
It is not befitting to the Compassionate (God) that He shouldbeget a son.
There is none in the heavens and in the earth but must come tothe Compassionate (Allah) in full submission.
He has a comprehensive knowledge and has kept strict count of allHis creatures,
and every one of them will come to Him individually on the Day ofResurrection.
Inspite of receiving that message, they still say: "TheBeneficent (Allah) has offspring!" Glory be to Him! The angelsare but His honored servants.
They do not precede Him in speaking and they act according to Hiscommandment.
He knows what is before them and what is behind them and they donot intercede except for the one whom He approves, and for fearof Him they tremble.
If any of them were to say: "I am also a deity besides Him," Wewould send him to hell, thus shall We reward the wrongdoers.
Never has Allah begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him.Had it been so, each god would govern his own creation, and eachwould have tried to overpower the others. Exalted be Allah, abovethe sort of things they attribute to Him!
He knows what is hidden and what is open: far above is He fromthe shirk of these people.
He is the One to Whom belongs the kingdom of the heavens and theearth, has begotten no son and has no partner in His kingdom; Hehas created everything and ordained them in due proportions.
If Allah had intended to take a son, He could have chosen anyoneHe pleased out of His creation: Glory be to Him! (He is abovesuch things.) He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible.
O Prophet tell the Christians: "If the Compassionate (Allah) hada son, I would be the first to worship him."
Glory be to the Rabb of the heavens and the earth, the Lord ofthe Throne, He is above what they ascribe to Him.
So let them blunder and play until they face their Day, which hasbeen promised to them.
Surely our Rabb's Majesty is exalted: He has neither taken a wifenor a son.
Some who are foolish among us have been uttering atrocious liesabout Allah,
and we had presumed that no man or jinn could tell a lieconcerning Allah.
O People of the Book! Do not transgress the limits of yourreligion. Speak nothing but the Truth about Allah. The Messiah,Isa (Jesus) the son of Maryam (Mary) was no more than a Rasool ofAllah and His Word "Be" which He bestowed on Maryam and a Spiritfrom Him which took the shape of a child in her womb. So believein Allah and His Rasools and do not say: "Trinity"." Stop sayingthat, it is better for you. Allah is only One Deity. He is farabove from the need of having a son! To Him belongs all that isin the heavens and in the Earth. Allah Alone is sufficient forprotection.
Indeed those have committed Kufr (rejected faith) who said, "Godis the Messiah, son of Maryam." O Muhammad, ask them, "Who hasthe power to prevent Allah if He chose to destroy the Messiah theson of Maryam, his mother and all that is in the earth? Allah hasthe sovereignty over the heavens and the earth and all that isbetween them. He creates what He pleases and has power overeverything".
O believers! Whoever among you renounce Islam let him do so; soonAllah will replace them with others whom He will love and theywill love Him, who will be humble towards the believers, mightyagainst the unbelievers, striving hard in the way of Allah, andwill have no fear of reproach from any critic. Now this is thegrace of Allah which He bestows on whom He pleases. Allah hasboundless knowledge.
Your real protecting friends are Allah, His Rasool, and thefellow believers - the ones who establish Salah, pay Zakah andbow down humbly before Allah.
The Jews say: "Uzair (Azra) is the son of Allah," and theChristians say: " Messiah (Christ) is the son of Allah." That iswhat they say with their mouths, imitating the sayings of theformer unbelievers. May Allah destroy them! How perverted theyare!

O Prophet, remember when you said to the one (Zaid, Prophet'sadopted son) whom Allah as well as you had favored: "Keep yourwife in wedlock and fear Allah". You sought to hide in your heartwhat Allah intended to reveal; you were afraid of the peoplewhereas it would have been more appropriate to fear Allah. Sowhen Zaid divorced his wife, We gave her to you in marriage, sothat there remains no hindrance for the believers to wed thewives of their adopted sons if they divorced them. And Allah'sCommand had to be carried out.
Name your adopted sons after their fathers; that is more just inthe sight of Allah, and if you don't know who their fathers are,then call them as your brothers in faith and your friends. Thereis no blame on you for an unintentional mistake, but you will beheld responsible for what you do with the intention of yourhearts; Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
