Meaning: Instructs you · Also translated as: he has made, you have made, was made, and has enjoined me
الوصية: التقدم إلى الغير بما يعمل به مقترنا بوعظ من قولهم: أرض واصية: متصلة النبات، ويقال: أوصاه ووصاه. قال تعالى: ووصى بها إبراهيم بنيه ويعقوب
الواو والصاد والحرف المعتل: أصل يدل على وصل شيء بشيء. ووصيت الشيء: وصلته. ويقال: وطئنا أرضا واصية، أي إن نبتها متصل قد امتلأت منه. ووصيت الليلة باليوم: وصلتها، وذلك في عمل تعمله. والوصية من هذا القياس، كأنه كلام يوصى أي يوصل. يقال: وصيته توصية، وأوصيته إيصاء.
Verses 1–3 of 3
God (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 God; and God is All-knowing, All-wise.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:11In what your wives leave, Your share is a half, If they leave no child; But if they leave a child, Ye get a fourth; after payment Of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, Their share is a fourth, If ye leave no child; But if ye leave a child, They get an eighth; after payment Of legacies and debts. If the man or woman Whose inheritance is in question, Has left neither ascendants nor descendants, But has left a brother Or a sister, each one of the two Gets a sixth; but if more Than two, they share in a third; After payment of legacies And debts; so that no loss Is caused (to any one). Thus is it ordained by God; And God is All-knowing, Most Forbearing.
Surah An-Nisa, verse 4:12"And He hath made me Blessed wheresoever I be, And hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long As I live;
Surah Maryam, verse 19:31
