May I ask your opinion about some of the mistakes in quran?
First of, Tell me about heritage issue.. Why does allah can't do a simple math??
Hello annatar,
I've heard about this story before, but actually, there is no mathematical errors in the verses that you quoted. The only problem is that you're not understanding the specific details behind the verses. Therefore, you're calculation is not acceptable because you got it wrong from the very start. But I'll try to help you out with an explanation and a few links as well (just to make it easier for you to understand what's going on).
Well, the whole inehritance contradiction stems from the fact that the interpretation that you gave fails to recognize that there are only two categories of inheritors (as stipulated in the verses). The law of inheirtance is based upon those that take from what is total and those that take from what is left.
Well.. I've heard that foolish argument before so many time. if I had a nickel...
In fact some other member of this forum made the same mistake you can see that in here..
You are telling that becouse you didn't read it properly...
PLEASE READ THE VERSES FIRST!!
Lets see if its as you said or NOT:
Quote:Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females. But if there are [only] daughters, two or more, for them is two thirds of one's estate. And if there is only one, for her is half. And for one's parents, to each one of them is a sixth of his estate if he left children. But if he had no children and the parents [alone] inherit from him, then for his mother is one third. And if he had brothers [or sisters], for his mother is a sixth, after any bequest he [may have] made or debt. Your parents or your children - you know not which of them are nearest to you in benefit. [These shares are] an obligation [imposed] by Allah . Indeed, Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.Read the bold letters and read them carefully!
Nisa 11.
And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child. But if they have a child, for you is one fourth of what they leave, after any bequest they [may have] made or debt. And for the wives is one fourth if you leave no child. But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave, after any bequest you [may have] made or debt. And if a man or woman leaves neither ascendants nor descendants but has a brother or a sister, then for each one of them is a sixth. But if they are more than two, they share a third, after any bequest which was made or debt, as long as there is no detriment [caused]. [This is] an ordinance from Allah , and Allah is Knowing and Forbearing.
Nisa 12.
It clearly indicates to all of the heritage!
Ah but I see you are refering to this line;
" But if you leave a child, then for them is an eighth of what you leave"
Eight of What you leave means from all of your all heritage and its pretty clear..
In fact even muslims know that and using some tricks to solve this problem which is called awl..
What I see here is an ignorant prophet making a mistake and his brainwashed followers trying to cover that obvious mistake..
Please Do not send me some links instead of proper answers! Its not a polite thing to do..
Besides, dont you have your own mind?
