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

Assess the orphans to see if they are ready to be married; then, if you find them to be mature enough, hand over their wealth to them, and do not squander it hastily before they have grown up. If their guardian is wealthy, he should not take any of the orphans’ wealth, but if he’s poor, let him take what is a fair compensation. When you hand over their wealth, have it witnessed. Allah is a sufficient Reckoner

Allah commands you regarding your children: a son’s share is equal to the share of two daughters. If there are more than two female heirs, they will receive two-thirds of what the deceased leaves behind, and if there is only one female she will have one half. Each of the deceased’s parents shall receive a sixth of what he leaves behind if he had children; but if he had no children and his parents are sole heirs then his mother gets one third. If he had siblings, then his mother will get a sixth; and the above is calculated after settling any bequest or debt. You do not know which of them are more deserving; your parents or your children. This is an essential requirement from Allah. Allah is the Knower, the Wise

Half of what your wives leave behind is yours, provided they had no children; if they had children, then a quarter of their estate is yours. This is calculated after settling any bequest or debt. Wives shall receive a quarter of what you leave behind, if you had no children; but if you had children, then wives will get an eighth of what you leave behind. This is calculated after settling any bequest you have made or any debt. If a man or a woman’s only heir is a distant relative who has a brother or a sister, then each one of them shall receive a sixth; but if they are more than two, then they shall be partners in one third. This is calculated after settling any bequest or debt, if the bequest is not detrimental. This is a command from Allah. Allah is the Knower, the Gentle

It is forbidden for you to marry: your mothers; your daughters; your sisters; your maternal aunts; your paternal aunts; nieces from the brother’s or sister’s side; your foster mothers who have suckled you, and your foster sisters; your mothers-in-law; the stepdaughters who are in your care from women with whom you have consummated marriage, but if you have not consummated your marriage with them then there’s no blame. Also, forbidden are: the wives of your sons; and marrying two sisters at the same time, except if such a marriage has already taken place. Allah is the Forgiver, the Kind

Also forbidden are women who are already married, except your slaves. These prohibited marriages are Allah’s commandment to be obeyed. Whatever falls outside the above-mentioned prohibitions is lawful for you to desire, using your wealth to become married men, not fornicators. Whichever of them you wish to enjoy in lawful marriage you must give them their bridal gift; there is no blame on you, after fulfilling that obligation, in whatever you may mutually agree to do with the marriage gift. Allah is the Knower, the Wise

If anyone lacks the means to marry chaste believing freewomen then let him marry from the believing slave girls you own. Allah knows best your faith. You are all of the same origin; so, marry them with the permission of their owners and give them their marriage gifts according to custom, as with chaste freewomen, not as fornicators or taken as lovers. If, after they are married, they commit an act of gross indecency then their punishment is half that of a chaste freewoman. That permission is for those of you who fear falling into sin. It is, of course, best for you to be patient and exercise restraint. Allah is Forgiving, and Kind

Men are guardian-carers of women, Allah granted some more favours then others, because they spend money on their wives. Honourably acting wives are pious and they guard their chastity as Allah expects them to guard it. Those whose ill-conduct you are afraid of, first gently warn them, then leave them alone in the bed and for a while live separately from them, if all else fails, apply a minimum of force on them. If, after taking these steps, they obey you, then don’t behave unjustly in any way against them. Allah is Most High, the Great

Believers, don’t come to the prayer whilst you are drunk stay away until you know what you are saying; nor when you are in the state of major ritual impurity, and when on a journey,until you have bathed yourselves. However, if you are ill or on a journey, or if you have relieved yourself or had sexual intercourse with your spouse, and you cannot find water, then purify yourselves with some clean sand, wiping your faces and forearms.Allah is Pardoner, Forgiver

Some of the Jews deliberately misquote the words of revelation, saying, “We hear and disobey,” and, “Listen like a deaf man,” and, “Look to us,” twisting the words with their tongues to insult the religion. If only they had said: “We hear and obey,” and, “Listen and look out for us,” that would be far better and proper for them. However, Allah deprives them of his kindness because of their disbelief, and only a few of them truly believe

Haven’t you seen those who were told: “Hold back your hands from wrongdoing, and instead perform the prayer and pay zakat”? Since fighting was prescribed for them, a group of them fears men as they fear Allah, or even more. They say, “Our Lord, why have You prescribed fighting for us? Couldn’t You have delayed it for a while?” Say: “The delights of this world are little, while the Hereafter is far better for the mindful, you will not be treated unjustly in the slightest.

It is forbidden for a believer to kill another believer, except by mistake. Anyone who kills a believer by mistake must free a believing slave and pay compensation to the victim’s family, unless they waive it as an act of charity. If the victim belonged to an enemy tribe but was himself a believer, then free a believing slave and if he was from a tribe with which you have a treaty, then pay compensation to their family and free a believing slave. Whoever cannot find the means to pay compensation let him fast two consecutive months to gain Allah’s forgiveness. Allah is the Knower, Wise

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

Messenger, when you are among them and leading them in prayer, let a group of them stand with you carrying their weapons; then, when they have prostrated, they may cover you from behind while another group who hasn’t yet prayed come and pray with you, again with due precaution and with their weapons. The disbelievers would love to see you neglect your weapons and your possessions so they could descend on you all at once. Nor is there any blame on you if some hardship such as rain or illness makes you put down your weapons, but remain on your guard. Indeed, Allah has prepared humiliating punishment for the disbelievers

یَـٰۤأَهۡلَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لَا تَغۡلُوا۟ فِی دِینِكُمۡ وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡحَقَّۚ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمَسِیحُ عِیسَى ٱبۡنُ مَرۡیَمَ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُۥۤ أَلۡقَىٰهَاۤ إِلَىٰ مَرۡیَمَ وَرُوحࣱ مِّنۡهُۖ فَءَامِنُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦۖ وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ ثَلَـٰثَةٌۚ ٱنتَهُوا۟ خَیۡرࣰا لَّكُمۡۚ إِنَّمَا ٱللَّهُ إِلَـٰهࣱ وَ ٰحِدࣱۖ سُبۡحَـٰنَهُۥۤ أَن یَكُونَ لَهُۥ وَلَدࣱۘ لَّهُۥ مَا فِی ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ ٰتِ وَمَا فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ وَكِیلࣰا ۝١٧١

People of The Book, do not go to extremes in your religion; always speak the truth about Allah. The Messiah, Isa son of Maryam, was a noble messenger of Allah, His word, which He blew into Maryam, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers and talk no more of “three”; it is better that you stop believing this. Allah is the only one God. He is free from such defects, so how can He have a son! Whatever is in the Heavens and the Earth belongs to Him; and Allah is a sufficient Guardian

4:176
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 for a ruling, say: “Allah instructs about the one who dies without descendants. If a man dies childless, but had a sister, she would inherit half of what he has left and he would be her only heir, if she were to die childless. If the deceased had two sisters, they would inherit between them two-thirds of what he left. However, if the siblings were both male and female, then each male would receive the share of two females.” Allah explains this so that you do not make mistakes. Allah is the Knower of everything.In the name of Allah, the Kind, the Caring</basmala
