| then for each one of the two is a sixth but if they are more than that | فَلِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ فَإِنْ كَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ | |
| then they are partners in a third from after any will was made for it or any debt | فَهُمْ شُرَكَآءُ فِي الثُّلُثِ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّةٍ يُوْصَى بِهَا أَوْ دَيْنٍ | |
| 4-12 | without harm an ordinance from Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT) is All-Knowing, Most-Forbearing | غَيْرَ مُضَآرٍ وَصِيَّةً مِّنَ اللهِ وَاللهُ عَلِيْمٌ حَلِيْمٌ |

| 4-137 | then increased in disbelief, Allah (SWT) will not forgive them and will not guide them to a way | ثُمَّ ازْدَادُوا كُفْرًا لَّمْ يَكُنِ اللهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَلَا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ سَبِيْلًا |
| Indeed, those who disbelieve and did wrong not will Allah (SWT) forgive them | إِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوا وَظَلَمُوا لَمْ يَكُنِ اللهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ | |
| 4-168 | and not He will guide them to a way | وَلَا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ طَرِيْقًا |
| They ask you, say, “Allah (SWT) explains concerning the ones without heirs | يَسْتَفْتُوْنَكَ قُلِ اللهُ يُفْتِيْكُمْ فِي الكَلَالَةِ | |
| if a man died and not for him a child but for him a sister then for her is half of what he left | إِنِ امْرُؤٌا هَلَكَ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ وَلَهُ أُخْتٌ فَلَهَا نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ | |
| and he, he inherits it if is for her no child, but if there were two females | وَهُوَ يَرِثُهَآ إِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهَا وَلَدٌ فَإِنْ كَانَتَا اثْنَتَيْنِ | |
| then for them both two thirds from what he left | فَلَهُمَا الثُّلُثَانِ مِمَّا تَرَكَ | |
| and if they were siblings, men and women then for the male like a portion of two females | وَإِنْ كَانُوا إِخْوَةً رِّجَالًا وَنِسَآءً فَلِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الأُنْثَيَيْنِ | |
| 4-176 | Allah (SWT) makes clear for you lest you stray and Allah (SWT) is over everything All-Knowing | يُبَيِّنُ اللهُ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَضِلُّوا وَاللهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيْمٌ |
| 6-131 | That is because not is your Lord one who destroys cities for wrongdoing while their people are unaware | ذَلِكَ أَنْ لَّمْ يَكُن رَّبُّكَ مُهْلِكَ القُرَى بِظُلْمٍ وَأَهْلُهَا غَافِلُوْنَ |
| and surely, We created you then We fashioned you then We said to the angels, “prostrate to Adam (AS)” | وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ صَوَّرْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَآئِكَةِ اسْجُدُوا لِآدَمَ | |
| 7-11 | so, they prostrated except Iblis, not he was of those who prostrated | فَسَجَدُوا إِلَّآ إِبْلِيْسَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِّنَ السَّاجِدِيْنَ |

| Not were those who disbelieved from the people of the book | لَمْ يَكُنِ الَّذِيْنَ كَفَرُوْا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ | |
| 98-1 | and the polytheists to be freed until the clear evidence comes to them | وَالْمُشْرِكِيْنَ مُنْفَكِّيْنَ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ |
