(Ayah 14,13) {تِلْكَ حُدُوْدُ اللّٰهِ … :} Allah Almighty has declared inheritance as the limits set by Allah, and has promised Paradise and great success for obeying this command, and in case of disobedience and violation of the limits set by Allah, has announced the punishment of eternal fire and humiliating torment. It is unfortunate that even apparently very pious people do not give their sisters their share; most people try to give the property to the sons and deprive the daughters. Similarly, if any heir is weak, they do not give him his share of the inheritance either. All such people should fear being presented before Allah Almighty and His disgraceful punishment and eternal fire.
