Bismillah:
Quote:OK, here is what I've learned about surah 4:11.
One correct translation of the first half of this verse from Arabic into English is as follows:
<b>PICKTHAL: Allah chargeth you concerning (the provision for) your children: to the male the equivalent of the portion of two females, and if there be women more than two
, then theirs is two-thirds
of the inheritance, and if there be one (only)
then the half.
Surah 4:11a</b>
So, then, if a parent dies, then the daughters receive:
- half the estate, if there is one daughter
- no inheritance, if there are two daughters
- two thirds of the estate, if there are more than two daughters.
Islamic scholars realized that this is not fair, since if there are two daughters then they receive no inheritance. So, obviously, this verse must have been corrupted at some point (or, perhaps, it was revealed to Mohammad in corrupted form).
Which Islamic scholars that <b>“realized that this is not faith”? </b> Could you please name <b>ONE OF THOSE SCGOLARS AND PROVIDE YOUR EVIDENCE IF YOU ARE TRUTHFUL</b>. Thanks.
I can only see total ignorance and lack of understanding of the Arabic language,
Alhamdulelah, Allah preserved the Arabic original text of the Qur'an for us to verify information at ANYTIME. and if there were any mistakes in the Qur’anic translations, it does not bother us much, because the original is preserved.. which is not the case with the Bible.
The Qur’an contains specific and detailed guidance regarding the division of the inherited wealth, among the rightful beneficiaries.
The Qur’anic verses that contain guidance regarding inheritance are:
* chapter 2 verse 180
* chapter 2 verse 240
* chapter 4 verse 7-9
* chapter 4 verse 19
* chapter 4 verse 33 and
* chapter 5 verse 106-108
Open up the Qur’an and read them to learn.
There are three verses in the Qur’an that broadly describe the share of close relatives chapter 4 verses 11, 12 and 176. open up your Qur’an (if you have one or if you really need to learn) and read them.:
After reading those verses you will see that in most of the cases, a woman inherits half of what her male counterpart inherits. However, this is not always the case. In case the deceased has left no ascendant or descendent but has left the uterine brother and sister, each of the two inherit one sixth. If the deceased has left children, both the parents that is mother and father get an equal share and inherit one sixth each. In certain cases, a woman can also inherit a share that is double that of the male. If the deceased is a woman who has left no children, brothers or sisters and is survived only by her husband, mother and father, the husband inherits half the property while the mother inherits one third and the father the remaining one sixth. In this particular case, the mother inherits a share that is double that of the father. It is true that as a general rule, in most cases, the female inherits a share that is half that of the male. For instance in the following cases:
1. daughter inherits half of what the son inherits,
2. wife inherits 1/8th and husband 1/4th if the deceased has no children.
3. Wife inherits 1/4th and husband 1/2 if the deceased has children
4. If the deceased has no ascendant or descendent, the sister inherits a share that is half that of the brother.
In Islam a woman has no financial obligation and the economical responsibility lies on the shoulders of the man. Before a woman is married it is the duty of the father or brother to look after the lodging, boarding, clothing and other financial requirements of the woman. After she is married it is the duty of the husband or the son. Islam holds the man financially responsible for fulfilling the needs of his family. In order to do be able to fulfill the responsibility the men get double the share of the inheritance. For example, if a man dies leaving about US$ One Hundred and Fifty Thousand, for the children (i.e one son and one daughter) the son inherits One Hundred Thousand and the daughter only Fifty Thousand. Out of the one hundred thousand which the son inherits, as his duty towards his family, he may have to spend on them almost the entire amount or say about eighty thousand and thus he has a small percentage of inheritance, say about twenty thousand, left for himself. On the other hand, the daughter, who inherits fifty thousand is not bound to spend a single penny on anybody. She can keep the entire amount for herself. Would you prefer inheriting one hundred thousand dollars and spending eighty thousand from it, or inheriting fifty thousand dollars and having the entire amount to yourself?
Quote:So, Islamic scholars decided
Again, which scholars who decided blah blah, <b>Christians missionaries</b>? :D
