Islamic Inheritance-Calculator

No matter in which language you write the words of Quran and error; when you search in the internet, first examples you see in the sites will be about the ones concerning the claim of error related with the inheritance verses in Quran. You will see the explanations with these verses in detail and the criticism of how these verses cannot be applied mathematically with some practical examples as well!

Whether such approach directed to Quran is evil-minded or querier is not related with the essence of the issue; in conclusion there is a challenge pointed out mathematically in such critiques and this condition cannot be ignored.

It is out of question that the inheritance division by God is not appropriate mathematically. God is the creator of humankind and the science of mathematics. Now then, it is impossible that God proposes an imperfect division mathematically. It is possible to find similar expressions in corresponding sites.

Therefore, each so-called error to be found in Quran has been transformed into an argument directing to weaken or confute the truth of its being apocalyptic. The claim concerning the inheritance divisions is one of the the most discussed examples and comes to minds first.

While were discussing about inheritance divisions during Quran Courses that we carried out in the public meetings in Quran Research Foundation (KURAV) auditoriums, we also evaluated this subject mathematically with contributions of my dear friends. Visual and audial records of this activity is available on the website: www.quraanicstudies.com. Thanks to inspirations from some of our friends saying that the results we acquired are a little bit different, remarkable and original, we find it acceptable to broadcast by publishing a book.

This study has been prepared as a result of such collective approach. Contrary to popular belief, it is not established on the base of interpretation. It has been carried out on the platform where source text has been considered literally and the differences encountered in formal plan have not been ignored.

I believe that the ones considering the inheritance divisions verses subjected to several speculations until now, one more time from the perspective of this book will realize in a little while that they face with a real mathematical miracle rather than a problematic challenge in number.

I take it as my duty to present my thanks to my dear friends attending to our Quran Courses forming the base of this book and sharing their different ideas with us in the courses. Because of his effort in the publication of the book, I wish the very best for my brother Mehmet Sellüm (agriculture engineer) from the Supreme Being. On the other hand, I am expressly grateful to my self-sacrificing partner Haydar Soysal (electric engineer) not denying his moral and material supports to me in my studies.

May Allah be pleased with them all.
