inheritance of women in Bible and Quran

many people says that Islam is unjust to the women because Islam gives half the share to the daughter then to the son.

according to Islam, it is my responsibility as a man to provide the financial source to my wife, kids, parents (when they get old), and my sisters (if they become widows). And if I refuse to support my widow sister for instance, then if she decides to take me to court and sue me, and prove that I make enough money to be able to support my wife, kids and my widow sister, then the court will force me to pay her money every month to support her. This law in Islam is called the law of "Nafaqa".

The woman according to islam does not have to provide a single dollar, nor her husband has the right to ask her or force her to use her money to support her husband and kids. In fact, just to show you how fair and respectful Islam is to women, a woman has the right to ask her husband for money for breast feeding her their child.

now lets see what Bible say about women inheritance.

"If a man dies and leaves no son, turn his inheritance over to his daughter. (Numbers 27:8)"
So in other words, women (daughters, sisters and mothers) don't inherit anything if a man (son) is present.

One of the most important differences between the Quran and the Bible is their attitude towards female inheritance of the property of a deceased relative. According to Numbers 27:1-11, widows and sisters don't inherit at all. Daughters can inherit only if their deceased father had no sons. Otherwise the sons receive the entire inheritance

In Islam, on the other hand, the daughter gets half of what the son gets, because under the law of "Nafaqa", the son is responsible to support his (1) Wife and Kids; (2) Old Parents; (3) Widowed Sisters. In Islam, the wife doesn't have to provide any financial support to her family. Only the man does. So, it is very fair for the man to get equivalent to two women of inheritance in Islam.

First, as has been said *many* times, the Old Testament is just a small slice of the history between God and His chosen people and, apparently unlike the Qu'ran, is not a rule book with all the plays laid out. I don't know of any Christian who uses it literally...even those who say they do...since I don't know of any who are following the same lifestyle as Orthodox Jews.

I am constantly hearing how well women are treated and respected under Qu'ranic law...and yet reality somehow suggests differently. Here is just *one* site that does suggest differently. I can give you at least 25 more and that's just doing a web search for 30 minutes.

As a woman, I thank God every day that I was not born into a country/culture/religion where lip service is given to how well women are treated and how shutting them up and relegating them to the status of children is somehow honoring them.

Ditto (except the "as a woman" part 'cause I'm not a woman )

I want to ask you a Question Do you believe that Old testament is the word of God ?

if yes then there should not be any question about taking it literally or not, a book from God should be a perfect book.

as the Quran is.

if the book was writen by God, yes, i would say is perfect then. prove it to me.

the Koran, or the Bible, or any religious book, i see them all as a set of teachings. However they were all writen by humans, and for instance, they cannot be perfect. Do not believe in the word perfect, for you are locking yourself into that so-called "perfection" and it doesn't let you see other truths as valid too.

so consider always both points of view, both books, both beliefs: none as perfect, all as possible.

i believe that the issue with women in the islam is merely something cultural, not something religious.

what happens is that western culture cannot see other culture acting differently for they (we) think is wrong......it is just a different way to see life, just different traditions as the many traditions there are in western countries, that might sound ridiculous to people from islam.

the problem is of aceptance. not of religions.

you are right for all other books but not Quran

Quran was written Allah. firstly Allah writes it on heart of Muhammad(pbuh) and then companions of Muhammad(pbuh) had memorized it. this process continued untill today. today we have millions of muslim around the world who has the same Quran word by word chapter by chapter memorized by heart.

Isn’t it a miracle in itself?

do you know of any book that any person have memorized it fully word by word as it is?

they cannot be perfect. Do not believe in the word perfect, for you are locking yourself into that so-called "perfection" and it doesn't let you see other truths as valid too.

Apparently you missed the Point. You claimed that he holy Quran could not be proven false, so here's a couple contradictions for you:

5:69
Lo! those who believe, and those who are Jews, and Sabaeans, and Christians - Whosoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right - there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.

5:72
They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, for him Allah hath forbidden paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evil-doers there will be no helpers.

and another:

39:153
Say: O My slaves who have been prodigal to their own hurt! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, Who forgiveth all sins. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

4:137
Those who believe, then disbelieve and then (again) believe, then disbelieve, and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never pardon them.

4:93 Whoso slayeth a believer of set purpose, his reward is hell for ever. Allah is wroth against him and He hath cursed him and prepared for him an awful doom.

Please bear in mind that no matter you're justification I still won't care. I doubt that you are an expert or cleric in the faith, qualified to make official interpretations.
As far as I'm concerned Islam is just as guilty as Christianity for the murder and subjugation of innocents.
People who have killed in the name of God, or Allah, whatever you want to call him, have stained his image. And just for the record, I'm not afraid of Islam, nor do have a problem with its ideals. I have a problem with its beliefs and its bloody history and the continued deaths that result from insane fundiMENTALs who think that by killing innocent people they will be rewarded with virgins in paradise.
I refuse to accept that a loving, all powerful God would instruct his followers to kill, punish nonbelievers, and forward the notion that women are second class citizens, unable and not allowed to provide for themselves. The very notion that virgins will be a man’s reward is condescending to women, and makes me sick.

Any God that has that much blood and hatred associated with him, especially when he claims to be merciful and all loving, reeks of hipocracy and I do not choose to follow.

Every statement of yours needs a reply that is why my reply may become long.

1. you have posted 2 alleged contradictions from the Quran

The 1st alleged contradiction is.

5:69
Lo! those who believe, and those who are Jews, and Sabaeans, and Christians - Whosoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right - there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.

5:72
They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Lo! whoso ascribeth partners unto Allah, for him Allah hath forbidden paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evil-doers there will be no helpers.

well I don’t see any contradiction within these verse.
but from your point of view you are saying that in the first verse Allah say Christians who believe in God and the last day and do right they shall have no fear in other words they will go in to paradise. But two verses later he says that they will go in to hell a clear contradiction. Isn’t it?
Now read care fully what Allah says in the verse 5:69
“… and those who are Jews and sabaeans and Christians whosoever believe in Allah(the one true God) and the last day and doeth right- there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
Now these people have to believe in one true God they should not ascribe any partners with him cause Allah can forgive any sin if he wills but he will never forgive the sin of shirk (ascribing partners with Allah)
Secondly they have to believe in last day (I think they believe in it)

The third is doeth right

Righteousness in Islam

Click here

The 2nd alleged contradiction is:

39:153
Say: O My slaves who have been prodigal to their own hurt! Despair not of the mercy of Allah, Who forgiveth all sins. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.


4:137
Those who believe, then disbelieve and then (again) believe, then disbelieve, and then increase in disbelief, Allah will never pardon them.

4:93 Whoso slayeth a believer of set purpose, his reward is hell for ever. Allah is wroth against him and He hath cursed him and prepared for him an awful doom.

(your first reference is not right the chapter 39 has only 75 verses. Pls recheck it)

after that I will answer you

2. you said “I doubt that you are an expert or cleric in the faith, qualified to make official interpretations.”

Well I am no an expert or cleric in the faith(Mufti). I am only a student of Islam and comparative religions.

3. you said “As far as I'm concerned Islam is just as guilty as Christianity for the murder and subjugation of innocents.”

Do you have any proofs backed with this statement? You can not say that because Usama Bin Lalen was behind the terrorist attacks on 9/11 that’s why Islam has to blame. This is not logical, there are black sheep in every community. You can not portrait them in media and blame on Islam for their evil deeds.

4. you said “I'm not afraid of Islam, nor do have a problem with its ideals”

I didn’t said that you are afraid of Islam but I said that the people who are malign Islam. it is a proof that they are afraid of the worlds fastest growing religion.
And unfortunately you are one of the victims of their false propaganda.

5. I have a problem with its beliefs and its bloody history and the continued deaths that result from insane fundiMENTALs who think that by killing innocent people they will be rewarded with virgins in paradise.

Do you know the beliefs of Islam click here

Bloody history! Can you explain this?

Not a single fundamental of Islam is against humanity as a whole.

“killing innocent people they will be rewarded with virgins in paradise”

from where you you got this. This is not a fundamental of Islam it against the fundamentals of Islam. Ok you want proof here it is
Quran says in 5:32
“… whosoever killeth a human being for other than man slaughter or corruption in the earth, it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind…”

6. I refuse to accept that a loving, all powerful God would instruct his followers to kill, punish nonbelievers

Allah don’t say that you should kill the unbelievers without any reason.

Allah says in the Quran 2:190

“fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities, lo! Allah loveth not aggressors”

22:39
Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah is well able to assist them;

7. Women are second class citizens, unable and not allowed to provide for themselves. The very notion that virgins will be a man’s reward is condescending to women, and makes me sick.

Man and woman are equal but different. Both have different responsibilities.

33:35
" For Muslim men and women, for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for truthful men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise, for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward."

4:124
"If any do deeds of righteousness - be they male or female - and have faith, they will enter Paradise, and not the least injustice will be done to them."

If man get virgins in the paradise than woman also get what ever they desire in the paradise.

this is just my obervation, it seems to me that there are odd clams by both the Bible and the Quran, i thank both scritors will agree that man is the provider and the women is the care giver of the children, man is also resposible for the rasing of the children and suporting both the women and the children with there needs of life. i aslo thank that both requer that people help the fatherless and the widows in any way that they can i thank the Quran takes it too far and the Bible dosn't take it far enuff... this is just what i see and understand!!!

I must apologize for joining this discussion late, but I have been out of town for a few days. You post an interesting viewpoint mr. Ansari, but I'm afraid I must take issue with it.

The premise that women are somehow treated better in your religion just doesn't bear fruit. Too many examples (as has been pointed out) exist that show just the opposite. Therefore I must ask you to reconsider your position.

"Likewise, tell the older women to be reverent in behavior, not to be slanderers or slaves to drink; they are to teach what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be self-controlled, chaste, good managers of the household, kind, being submissive to their husbands, so that the word of God may not be discredited." Titus 2:3-5

We believe that women, even though subserviant to the man, play an indespensable role in the modern family. Not all believe it as literally as we do however.

As an arm of the the southern baptist christian faith, we believe firmly that there is only one God, and that his son died on the cross to save mankind from it's sins.

The image that Islam presents to the West is a great deal different from the fanaticism and violence advocated by many Muslim leaders.
No matter how civilized or scientific you try to make Islam, it is not a true religion.

"anothergospel.- whichisnotanother" (Gal. 1:6-7).
The Lord declares it accursed (Gal. 1:8).

While I personally try to remain tolerant of other views, the fact is that we consider Islam to be a false religion, Allah a false prophet,and it's followers as misguided souls who must be born again to be saved from eternal damnation.
I realize this may sound harsh, but we believe in following the bible teachings as closely as humanly possible.

Christians must show the one true Gospel of salvation to Muslims, that they be delivered from their false religion. It is not too late for you mr. Ansari, to learn the love and forgiveness of our one true God.

You have to remember that God is saying that those who follow Christianity the way Christ taught shall not worry, nor shall they grieve. Christ did not teach that he was God, so a true follower of Christ wouldn't think of such a thing, but I'm sure many here will disagree, which is cool with me. There were many Christians who didn't believe that Christ was God or even the son of God before the Romans corrupted the religion. Jews don't make any partners with God so they're all good. So I'm gonna have to say that I don't see the contradiction there.

Just my take on it though.

"Islamic jurist define marriage as a contract of exchange, patterned it after the contract of sale (baya‘), which served as the model for most contracts in fiqh. The marriage contract, which is called ‘aqd al-nikah has three essential component are: offer (ijab), acceptance (qabul) and the payment of dower (mahr), a sum of money or any valuables that the husband pays or undertakes to pay to the bride before or after the consummation.

The contract entails a set of defined rights and obligations for each party, some with moral sanction and others with legal force. Those with legal force revolve around the twin themes of sexual access and compensation, embodied in the two concepts tamkin (obedience; also ta‘a) and nafaqa (maintenance).

Tamkin, defined as unhampered sexual access, is a man’s right and thus a woman’s duty; whereas nafaqa, defined as shelter, food and clothing, is a woman’s right and a man’s duty.

Among the default rights of the husband is his power to control his wife’s movements and her ‘excess piety’. She needs his permission to leave the house, to take up employment, or to engage in fasting or forms of worship other than what is obligatory (i.e. the fast of Ramadan). Such acts may infringe on the husband’s right of ‘unhampered sexual access’.

A man can enter up to four marriages at a time,7 and can terminate each contract at will: he needs neither grounds for termination nor the consent or presence of his wife."

Let's examine what some former Muslims say:

"Who we are:

We are ex-Muslims. Some of us were born and raised in Islam and some of us had converted to Islam at some moment in our lives. We were taught never to question the truth of Islam and to believe in Allah and his messenger with blind faith. We were told that Allah would forgive all sins but the sin of disbelief (Quran 4:48 and 4:116). But we committed the ultimate sin of thinking and questioned the belief that was imposed on us and we came to realize that far from being a religion of truth, Islam is a hoax, it is hallucination of a sick mind and nothing but lies and deceits."

"Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives and their right hand possessions” (Quran 33:50)

"Muhammad produced no miracles and when pressed he claimed that his miracle is the Quran. Yet a cursory look at the Quran reveals that this book is full of errors. Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities, grammatical errors and ethical fallacies. It is badly compiled and it contradicts itself. There is nothing intelligent in this book let alone miraculous. Muhammad challenged people to produce a “Surah like it” or find an error therein, yet Muslims would kill anyone who dares to criticize it. In such a climate of hypocrisy and violence truth is the first casualty."

"What is our goal?

We are apostates of Islam. We denounce Islam as a false doctrine of hate and terror. However we are not against Muslims who are our own kin and relatives. We do not advocate hate and violence. Muslims are the main victims of Islam. Our goal is to educate them and let them see the truth. We are against Islam and not the Muslims. We strive to bring the Muslims into the fold of humanity. Eradicate Islam so our people can be liberated, so they can prosper and break away from the pillory of Islam. We would like to see Islamic countries dedicate more time to science and less time to Quran and Sharia. We would like to see them prosper and contribute to human civilization. We would like to see the draconian laws of Islam eliminated and people are treated humanely. We strive for freedom of beliefs, for equality of gender and for oneness of mankind."

"And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him" Matthew 3:16

Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities, grammatical errors and ethical fallacies. It is badly compiled and it contradicts itself. There is nothing intelligent in this book let alone miraculous. Muhammad challenged people to produce a “Surah like it” or find an error therein, yet Muslims would kill anyone who dares to criticize it. In such a climate of hypocrisy and violence truth is the first casualty."

"What is our goal?

We are apostates of Islam. We denounce Islam as a false doctrine of hate and terror. However we are not against Muslims who are our own kin and relatives. We do not advocate hate and violence. Muslims are the main victims of Islam. Our goal is to educate them and let them see the truth. We are against Islam and not the Muslims. We strive to bring the Muslims into the fold of humanity. Eradicate Islam so our people can be liberated, so they can prosper and break away from the pillory of Islam. We would like to see Islamic countries dedicate more time to science and less time to Quran and Sharia. We would like to see them prosper and contribute to human civilization. We would like to see the draconian laws of Islam eliminated and people are treated humanely. We strive for freedom of beliefs, for equality of gender and for oneness of mankind."

but what you brought a piece dirt which I already read from the website whose sole purpose is to spread hatred against Islam & malign Islam.
brother you make me said with this.
this dose not mean that I can not answer what is written in it. but I don't have to because every one who knows little about Islam after reading this he will say this is not the truth, even you put your hand on your heart and give me the answer, is it the truth?
