⦿
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.
- Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
Allah enjoins you concerning your children: for the male shall be the like of the share of two females, and if there be [two or] more than two females, then for them shall be two-thirds of what he leaves; but if she be alone, then for her shall be a half; and for each of his parents a sixth of what he leaves, if he has children; but if he has no children, and his parents are his [sole] heirs, then it shall be a third for his mother; but if he has brothers, then a sixth for his mother, after [paying off] any bequest he may have made or any debt [he may have incurred]. Your parents and your children—you do not know which of them is likelier to be beneficial for you. This is an ordinance from Allah. Indeed Allah is all-knowing, all-wise.
- Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
This is a commandment from your Lord: After the payment of debts or anything bequeathed, let the male inherit twice as much as the female. If there are more than two girls, they will have two-thirds of the legacy. If there is only one girl, she will inherit half of the legacy. Parents of the deceased will each inherit one-sixth of the legacy, if the deceased has a surviving child, however, if no children survive the deceased, and the heirs are the parents, the mother will receive one-third of the legacy. The mother will receive one-sixth of the legacy if the deceased has more than one surviving brother. These are the decreed shares according to the laws of God. Regardless of how you feel about your parents or children, you do not know which of them is more beneficial to you. God is All-knowing and All-wise.
- Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
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.
- Shakir, Habib
⦿
Concerning your children, God enjoins you that a male shall receive a share equivalent to that of two females. But if there are more than two females, then their share is two thirds of the inheritance. If there is only one, she will receive the half. Each of your parents receives a sixth of what you leave if you have children. If you are childless and your heirs are your parents, your mother receives a third. If you have brothers [or sisters] your mother receives a sixth, after [the deduction of] any bequest you make or the repayment of any debts with regard to your father and your sons. You do not know which of them is going to benefit you more: but this fixing of portions is by God and He is all knowing and all wise.

اللہ تمہاری اولاد کے بارے میں تمہیں ہدایت فرماتا ہے، ایک لڑکے کا حصہ دو لڑکیوں کے حصے کے برابر ہے، پس اگر لڑکیاں دو سے زائد ہوں تو ترکے کا دو تہائی ان کا حق ہے اور اگر صرف ایک لڑکی ہے تو نصف (ترکہ) اس کا ہے اور میت کی اولاد ہونے کی صورت میں والدین میں سے ہر ایک کو ترکے کا چھٹا حصہ ملے گا اور اگر میت کی اولاد نہ ہو بلکہ صرف ماں باپ اس کے وارث ہوں تواس کی ماں کو تیسرا حصہ ملے گا، پس اگر میت کے بھائی ہوں تو ماں کوچھٹا حصہ ملے گا، یہ تقسیم میت کی وصیت پر عمل کرنے اور اس کے قرض کی ادائیگی کے بعد ہو گی، تمہیں نہیں معلوم تمہارے والدین اور تمہاری اولاد میں فائدے کے حوالے سے کون تمہارے زیادہ قریب ہے، یہ حصے اللہ کے مقرر کردہ ہیں، یقینا اللہ بڑا جاننے والا، باحکمت ہے
- Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
تمہاری اولاد کے بارے میں اللہ تمہیں ہدایت کرتا ہے کہ: مرد کا حصہ دو عورتوں کے برابر ہے، اگر (میت کی وارث) دو سے زائد لڑکیاں ہوں تو انہیں ترکے کا دو تہائی دیا جائے، اور اگر ایک ہی لڑکی وارث ہو تو آدھا ترکہ اس کا ہے اگر میت صاحب اولاد ہو تواس کے والدین میں سے ہر ایک کو ترکے کا چھٹا حصہ ملنا چاہیے اور اگر وہ صاحب اولاد نہ ہو اور والدین ہی اس کے وارث ہو ں تو ماں کو تیسرا حصہ دیا جائے اور اگر میت کے بھائی بہن بھی ہوں تو ماں چھٹے حصہ کی حق دار ہوگی (یہ سب حصے اُس وقت نکالے جائیں) جبکہ وصیت جو میت نے کی ہو پوری کر دی جائے اور قرض جو اُس پر ہو ادا کر دیا جائے تم نہیں جانتے کہ تمہارے ماں باپ اور تمہاری اولاد میں سے کون بلحاظ نفع تم سے قریب تر ہے یہ حصے اللہ نے مقرر کر دیے ہیں، اور اللہ یقیناً سب حقیقتوں سے واقف اور ساری مصلحتوں کا جاننے والا ہے
- Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اللہ تمہیں حکم دیتا ہے تمہاری اولاد کے بارے میں بیٹے کا حصہ دو بیٹیوں برابر ہے پھر اگر نری لڑکیاں ہوں اگرچہ دو سے اوپر تو ان کو ترکہ کی دو تہائی اور اگر ایک لڑکی ہو تو اس کا آدھا اور میت کے ماں باپ کو ہر ایک کو اس کے ترکہ سے چھٹا اگر میت کے اولاد ہو پھر اگر اس کی اولاد نہ ہو اور ماں باپ چھوڑے تو ماں کا تہا ئی پھر اگر اس کے کئی بہن بھا ئی ہو ں تو ماں کا چھٹا بعد اس و صیت کے جو کر گیا اور دین کے تمہارے باپ اور تمہارے بیٹے تم کیا جانو کہ ان میں کون تمہارے زیادہ کام آئے گا یہ حصہ باندھا ہوا ہے اللہ کی طرف سے بیشک اللہ علم والا حکمت والا ہے،
- Ahmed Raza

اللہ تمہاری اولاد کے بارے میں تمہیں ہدایت کرتا ہے کہ لڑکے کا حصہ برابر ہے دو لڑکیوں کے اب اگر لڑکیاں ہی وارث ہوں اور ہوں بھی دو سے اوپر تو ان کو دو تہائی ترکہ دیا جائے گا اور ایک لڑکی (وارث) ہو تو اسے آدھا ترکہ دیا جائے گا۔ اور اگر میت صاحب اولاد ہو تو اس کے والدین میں سے ہر ایک کے لئے ترکہ کا چھٹا حصہ ہوگا (اور باقی اولاد کا) اور اگر بے اولاد ہو۔ اور اس کے والدین ہی اس کے وارث ہوں تو اس کی ماں کو تیسرا حصہ ملے گا (باقی / باپ کو ملے گا) اور اگر اس (مرنے والے) کے بھائی (بہن) ہوں تو پھر اس کی ماں کو چھٹا حصہ ملے گا (باقی / بہن بھائیوں کو ملے گا) مگر یہ تقسیم اس وقت ہوگی، جب میت کی وصیت پوری کر دی جائے۔ جو وہ کر گیا ہو اور اس کا قرضہ ادا کر دیا جائے گا جو اس پر ہو۔ تم نہیں جانتے کہ تمہارے ماں باپ یا تمہاری اولاد میں سے نفع رسانی کے لحاظ سے کون تمہارے زیادہ قریب ہے۔ یہ حصے اللہ کی طرف سے مقرر ہیں، یقینا اللہ بڑا جاننے والا اور بڑا حکمت والا ہے۔

This website is a work of passion. It exists only for a couple of reasons:

1) I wanted to understand the Book without involving any second-party sources of guidance i.e. exegesis, or Asbab-e-Nuzul, or extra-Quranic ahadith, etc.
2) You must also know what the bare truth is, so we can work together.

Because the process must be transparent, the entire website is available for you to download. You can go through the code, and if you can make any improvements to this process, you are most welcome to. It is a humble request to update me regarding the improvements so I can also update myself.




Due Credits:

This website was possible by help of many people and forums who helped me to learn Arabic, Philosophy, Law, Psychology, and PHP and other Web scripts. To be honest, I do not even know the names of many but I did learn from them. Some of these people were already dead by the time I read their input.

The entire code of this website is available for the same reason, that what they taught me, I can only pay it forward.


The Arabic text of the Quran was obtained from Tanzil. The additional translations were also obtained from Tanzil from this link.

The social-sharing images of verses were obtained from Legacy Quran.com, and were then resized for proper social-media display.
