Yooseekumu Allahu fee awladikum lilththakari mithlu haththi alonthayayni fa-in kunna nisaan fawqa ithnatayni falahunna thulutha ma taraka wa-in kanat wahidatan falaha alnnisfu wali-abawayhi likulli wahidin minhuma alssudusu mimma taraka in kana lahu waladun fa-in lam yakun lahu waladun wawarithahu abawahu fali-ommihi alththuluthu fa-in kana lahu ikhwatun fali-ommihi alssudusu min baAAdi wasiyyatin yoosee biha aw daynin abaokum waabnaokum la tadroona ayyuhum aqrabu lakum nafAAan fareedatan mina Allahi inna Allaha kana AAaleeman hakeeman\n11. God (thus) directs you\n As regards your children's\n (Inheritance): to the male,\n A portion equal to that\n Of two females: if only\n Daughters, two or more,\n Their share is two-thirds\n Of the inheritance;\n If only one, her share\n Is a half.\nFor parents, a sixth share\n Of the inheritance to each,\n If the deceased left children;\n If no children, and the parents\n Are the (only) heirs, the mother\n Has a third; if the deceased\n Left brothers (or sisters)\n The mother has a sixth.\n (The distribution in all cases\n Is) after the payment\n Of legacies and debts.\n Ye know not whether\n Your parents or your children\n Are nearest to you\n In benefit. These are\n Settled portions ordained\nBy God; and God is\n All-knowing, All-wise.\n12. Walakum nisfu ma taraka azwajukum in lam yakun lahunna waladun fa-in kana lahunna waladun falakumu alrrubuAAu mimma tarakna min baAAdi wasiyyatin yooseena biha aw daynin walahunna alrrubuAAu mimma taraktum in lam yakun lakum waladun fa-in kana lakum waladun falahunna alththumunu mimma taraktum min baAAdi wasiyyatin toosoona biha aw daynin wa-in kana rajulun yoorathu kalalatan awi imraatun walahu akhun aw okhtun falikulli wahidin minhuma alssudusu fa-in kanoo akthara min thalika fahum shurakao fee alththuluthi min baAAdi wasiyyatin yoosa biha aw daynin ghayra mudarrin wasiyyatan mina Allahi waAllahu AAaleemun haleemun\n12. In what your wives leave,\n Your share is a half,\n 1f they leave no child;\n But if they leave a child,\n Ye get a fourth; after payment\n Of legacies and debts.\n In what ye leave,\n Their share is a fourth,\n If ye leave no child;\n But if ye leave a child,\n They get an eighth; after payment\n Of legacies and debts.\nIf the man or woman\n Whose inheritance is in question,\n Has left neither ascendants nor descendants,\n But has left a brother\n Or a sister, each one of the two\n Gets a sixth; but if more\n Than two, they share in a third;\n After payment of legacies\n And debts; so that no loss\n Is caused (to any one).\n Thus is it ordained by God;\n And God is All-knowing,\n Most Forbearing.\n13. Tilka hudoodu Allahi waman yutiAAi Allaha warasoolahu yudkhilhu jannatin tajree min tahtiha al-anharu khalideena feeha wathalika alfawzu alAAatheemu\n13. Those are limits\n Set by God: those who\n Obey God and His Apostle\n Will be admitted to Gardens\n With rivers flowing beneath,\n To abide therein (for ever)\n And that will be\n The Supreme achievement.\n14. Waman yaAAsi Allaha warasoolahu wayataAAadda hudoodahu yudkhilhu naran khalidan feeha walahu AAathabun muheenun\n14. But those who disobey\n God and His Apostle\n And transgress His limits\n Will be admitted\n To a Fire, to abide therein:\n And they shall have\n A humiliating punishment.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra IV.: Nis\u0101a, or The Women.: Section 2 (11-14)","type":"page"}
