Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
S: And let those fear who, should they leave behind them weakly
offspring, would fear on their account, so let them be careful of
(their duty to) Allah, and let them speak right words.
004.010
Y: Those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, eat up a Fire into
their own bodies: They will soon be enduring a Blazing Fire!
P: Lo! Those who devour the wealth of orphans wrongfully, they do but
swallow fire into their bellies, and they will be exposed to burning
flame.
S: (As for) those who swallow the property of the orphans unjustly,
surely they only swallow fire into their bellies and they shall enter
burning fire.
004.011
Y: Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to
the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters,
two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one,
her share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to
each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents
are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased Left
brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all
cases is) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether
your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are
settled portions ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
P: Allah chargeth you concerning (the provision for) your children: to
the male the equivalent of the portion of two females, and if there be
women more than two, then theirs is two-thirds of the inheritance, and
if there be one (only) then the half. And to each of his parents a
sixth of the inheritance, if he have a son; and if he have no son and
his parents are his heirs, then to his mother appertaineth the third;
and if he have brethren, then to his mother appertaineth the sixth,
after any legacy he may have bequeathed, or debt (hath been paid). Your
parents and your children: Ye know not which of them is nearer unto you
in usefulness. It is an injunction from Allah. Lo! Allah is Knower,
Wise.
S: Allah enjoins you concerning your children: The male shall have the
equal of the portion of two females; then if they are more than two
females, they shall have two-thirds of what the deceased has left, and
if there is one, she shall have the half; and as for his parents, each
of them shall have the sixth of what he has left if he has a child, but
if he has no child and (only) his two parents inherit him, then his
mother shall have the third; but if he has brothers, then his mother
shall have the sixth after (the payment of) a bequest he may have
bequeathed or a debt; your parents and your children, you know not
which of them is the nearer to you in usefulness; this is an ordinance
from Allah: Surely Allah is Knowing, Wise.
