1 Orphans' Guardians
4:6
وَٱبۡتَلُوا۟ ٱلۡیَتَـٰمَىٰ حَتَّىٰۤ إِذَا بَلَغُوا۟ ٱلنِّكَاحَ فَإِنۡ ءَانَسۡتُم مِّنۡهُمۡ رُشۡدࣰا فَٱدۡفَعُوۤا۟ إِلَیۡهِمۡ أَمۡوَ ٰلَهُمۡۖ وَلَا تَأۡكُلُوهَاۤ إِسۡرَافࣰا وَبِدَارًا أَن یَكۡبَرُوا۟ۚ وَمَن كَانَ غَنِیࣰّا فَلۡیَسۡتَعۡفِفۡۖ وَمَن كَانَ فَقِیرࣰا فَلۡیَأۡكُلۡ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِۚ فَإِذَا دَفَعۡتُمۡ إِلَیۡهِمۡ أَمۡوَ ٰلَهُمۡ فَأَشۡهِدُوا۟ عَلَیۡهِمۡۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ حَسِیبࣰا ۝٦

Test the orphans [for responsibility] until they reach the age of marriage. If you find them responsible, give them their properties. Do not use it wastefully and quickly while they are growing up. If the guardian [of an orphan] is financially secure, he/she should claim no remuneration [for the orphan’s living expenses]. If the guardian is poor, let him/her be recompensed what is fair. When you release their properties to them, take witnesses in their presence. Allah is sufficient as an accountant.

2 Law of Inheritance
4:11
یُوصِیكُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِیۤ أَوۡلَـٰدِكُمۡۖ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثۡلُ حَظِّ ٱلۡأُنثَیَیۡنِۚ فَإِن كُنَّ نِسَاۤءࣰ فَوۡقَ ٱثۡنَتَیۡنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَۖ وَإِن كَانَتۡ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰ فَلَهَا ٱلنِّصۡفُۚ وَلِأَبَوَیۡهِ لِكُلِّ وَ ٰحِدࣲ مِّنۡهُمَا ٱلسُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ إِن كَانَ لَهُۥ وَلَدࣱۚ فَإِن لَّمۡ یَكُن لَّهُۥ وَلَدࣱ وَوَرِثَهُۥۤ أَبَوَاهُ فَلِأُمِّهِ ٱلثُّلُثُۚ فَإِن كَانَ لَهُۥۤ إِخۡوَةࣱ فَلِأُمِّهِ ٱلسُّدُسُۚ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ وَصِیَّةࣲ یُوصِی بِهَاۤ أَوۡ دَیۡنٍۗ ءَابَاۤؤُكُمۡ وَأَبۡنَاۤؤُكُمۡ لَا تَدۡرُونَ أَیُّهُمۡ أَقۡرَبُ لَكُمۡ نَفۡعࣰاۚ فَرِیضَةࣰ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِیمًا حَكِیمࣰا ۝١١

Allah commands you in regards to [the inheritance of] your children. A male should get twice what a female gets. If there are only two or more daughters, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance [to be divided equally]. If there is only one [daughter], her share is half. For parents [left behind], they each get one-sixth of the inheritance if the deceased left children. If no children were left, and the parents are the heirs, the mother gets one-third. If the deceased left siblings, the mother gets one-sixth. In all cases, the distribution applies after [the deceased’s] bequests are made and debts are paid. You have no way of knowing whether your parents or your children will benefit most from you, so Allah gives this regulation. Truly, Allah is the All-knowing, the Perfectly Wise.

You [husbands] shall inherit one-half of what your wives leave if they have left no children. If they have left children, then you will have one-fourth of what they leave. This is after bequests are made and debts are paid. (Your widows) shall have one-fourth of what you leave if you have left no children. If you have left children, then they will have one-eighth of what you leave. This is after bequests are made and debts are paid. If a man or woman has no parent or child, but has a brother or sister, each of two shall inherit one-sixth. If there are more than two, they will share one-third. This is after bequests are made and debts are paid. No harm should be done. Allah gives this regulation. Allah is the All-knowing, Most Tolerant.

Forbidden to you [men for marriage] are your mothers; your daughters; your sisters; your paternal and maternal aunts; your siblings’ daughters; foster mothers who nursed you; foster sisters in relation to the nursing mothers; your mothers-in-law; your stepdaughters, for whom you are guardians, born to your wives with whom you have been intimate. No blame is on you for marrying (daughters) of wives with whom you have never been intimate. [Also forbidden are] the wives of your birth sons; and two sisters at the same time. An exception is made for whatever is in the past. Truly, Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

[Also forbidden are] all married women except those [prisoners of war] that you rightfully possess. This is the rule prescribed for you by Allah. Except for these exemptions, (all other women) are lawful for you. You must seek [marriage] with [gifts from] your properties. You must marry honorably without lust. Since you derive benefit from (your wives), give them their dowries as commanded. After a dowry is allotted, there is no blame on you if you mutually agree on a variation of it. Truly, Allah is the All-knowing, Perfectly Wise.

As for those of you financially unable to marry free, believing women, marry believers you rightfully possess [ie, prisoners of war]. Allah is most knowledgeable about your faith. You are each from the others [ie, partners in faith]. Marry them with their guardians’ permission. Kindly give them their dowries. They should be chaste –not immoral, taking lovers. After marriage, if they commit adultery, their punishment is half that for free women. This is allowed for those among you who fear committing sin, but it is better for you to practice self-restraint. Allah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Men are protectors of women because Allah has blessed some more than others, and men invest of their earnings [in caring for their families]. Virtuous women, therefore, are devoutly obedient [to Allah] in discreetly guarding what Allah has entrusted to them. Concerning females of whom you suspect improper conduct, advise them, send them [each alone] to their rooms, and then leave them [as a last resort]. If they return to obedience [to Allah’s commands], do not seek retaliation against them. Allah is the Highest, the Greatest.

O Believers, do not approach the ritual prayers while you are intoxicated. Wait until you can understand what you are saying. Do not come in a state of ritual impurity, with an exception for when you are traveling. Wait until you have washed thoroughly. If you’ve been sick or on a trip, or if you’ve just been to the toilet, or if you’ve been involved in intimate touching, and you can’t find any water, resort to clean sand, and use it to rub your faces and hands. Allah blots out sins and forgives again and again.

A few of the Jews take words out of context. They say, “We hear and we disobey,” and, “Hear but do not listen,” and, “Listen to us.” They play tricks with their tongues, implying that the [Islamic] faith is false. It would have been better for them and appropriate if they had said, “We hear and we obey,” and “Listen, and have patience with us.” Allah has rejected them because of their unbelief. They do not believe except a few.

Have you seen those who were told to refrain from fighting but to establish the ritual prayers and spend for the required charity? When the order to fight was given to them, many of them feared people as much as or more than they feared Allah. They said, “Our Lord, why order us to fight? How about postponing it a while longer.” Say, “The comfort of this world is scarce. The hereafter will be better for the one who is obedient. You will not be wronged as much as a date seed fiber.”

A believer must never kill a believer. An allowance is made for an accidental killing. If one kills a believer by accident, he/she must free a believing slave and pay compensation to (the victim’s) family, unless (the family) charitably foregoes (the compensation). If the believing victim belonged to a people at war with you, [the perpetrator should only] free a believing slave. If (the victim) belonged to a people with whom you are bound by a treaty, [the perpetrator should] pay compensation to the family in addition to freeing a believing slave. One who cannot do either should fast for two consecutive months, seeking redemption from Allah. Allah is the All-knowing, Perfectly Wise.

O Believers, when you travel for the cause of Allah, investigate carefully. Do not say to anyone who offers you [a greeting of] peace, “You are not a believer.” Do not seek perishable goods in this temporal life. Allah is in charge of abundant profits. You also were like that [materialistic] until Allah conferred His favor on you, so carefully investigate [a person’s true heart while he/she is in the midst of his/her spiritual journey]. Truly, Allah is greatly aware of all that you do.

وَإِذَا كُنتَ فِیهِمۡ فَأَقَمۡتَ لَهُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَلۡتَقُمۡ طَاۤىِٕفَةࣱ مِّنۡهُم مَّعَكَ وَلۡیَأۡخُذُوۤا۟ أَسۡلِحَتَهُمۡۖ فَإِذَا سَجَدُوا۟ فَلۡیَكُونُوا۟ مِن وَرَاۤىِٕكُمۡ وَلۡتَأۡتِ طَاۤىِٕفَةٌ أُخۡرَىٰ لَمۡ یُصَلُّوا۟ فَلۡیُصَلُّوا۟ مَعَكَ وَلۡیَأۡخُذُوا۟ حِذۡرَهُمۡ وَأَسۡلِحَتَهُمۡۗ وَدَّ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوۡ تَغۡفُلُونَ عَنۡ أَسۡلِحَتِكُمۡ وَأَمۡتِعَتِكُمۡ فَیَمِیلُونَ عَلَیۡكُم مَّیۡلَةࣰ وَ ٰحِدَةࣰۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَیۡكُمۡ إِن كَانَ بِكُمۡ أَذࣰى مِّن مَّطَرٍ أَوۡ كُنتُم مَّرۡضَىٰۤ أَن تَضَعُوۤا۟ أَسۡلِحَتَكُمۡۖ وَخُذُوا۟ حِذۡرَكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ عَذَابࣰا مُّهِینࣰا ۝١٠٢

When you are with (the Muslims) and stand to lead them in ritual prayer, allow one part of them to stand with you, keeping their weapons with them. When they finish their prostrations, have them assume positions behind you. Allow the remaining part that hasn’t prayed to come forward to pray with you. They should be cautious and keep their weapons ready. The unbelievers would like for you to be negligent of your weapons and supplies so they could assault you in a single attack. It is okay for you to put away your weapons because of the problem of rain or because you are sick, but be cautious. Truly, Allah has prepared a horrible punishment for the unbelievers.

O People of the Book, do not commit excesses in your religion. Do not say things about Allah other than the truth. Jesus the Messiah, the son of Mary, was Allah’s messenger, His Word breathed into Mary, and a spirit emanating from Him. Believe in Allah and His messengers. Stop talking about “the Trinity”! That would be better for you. God is One God. Glory to Him! He is above begetting a child. To Him belong all things of Heaven and Earth. Allah is all you need to settle accounts.

یَسۡتَفۡتُونَكَ قُلِ ٱللَّهُ یُفۡتِیكُمۡ فِی ٱلۡكَلَـٰلَةِۚ إِنِ ٱمۡرُؤٌا۟ هَلَكَ لَیۡسَ لَهُۥ وَلَدࣱ وَلَهُۥۤ أُخۡتࣱ فَلَهَا نِصۡفُ مَا تَرَكَۚ وَهُوَ یَرِثُهَاۤ إِن لَّمۡ یَكُن لَّهَا وَلَدࣱۚ فَإِن كَانَتَا ٱثۡنَتَیۡنِ فَلَهُمَا ٱلثُّلُثَانِ مِمَّا تَرَكَۚ وَإِن كَانُوۤا۟ إِخۡوَةࣰ رِّجَالࣰا وَنِسَاۤءࣰ فَلِلذَّكَرِ مِثۡلُ حَظِّ ٱلۡأُنثَیَیۡنِۗ یُبَیِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡ أَن تَضِلُّوا۟ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَیۡءٍ عَلِیمُۢ ۝١٧٦

They ask you to enlighten them. Say, “Allah directs you about the laws concerning those who leave no children as heirs. If a childless man dies, leaving a sister, she should have half the inheritance. If she dies childless [leaving her brother as her heir], he should have the same [half the inheritance]. If there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance. If there are brothers and sisters, the men should have twice the share of the women. In this way, Allah clarifies for you so that you do not make mistakes. Allah has knowledge of all things.”
