And let those [executors and guardians] fear [injustice] as if they [themselves] had left weak offspring behind and feared for them. So let them fear Allāh and speak words of appropriate justice.

தங்களுக்கு பின்னால் பலஹீனமான சந்ததிகளை விட்டுச் சென்றால் (அவர்களுடைய நிலை என்னவாகும் என்று) அஞ்சுகிறார்களோ அவர்கள் பயந்து (முன் ஜாக்கிரதை நடவடிக்கைகளை எடுத்துக்) கொள்ளட்டும்;. மேலும் அல்லாஹ்வை அஞ்சி, இதமான வார்த்தைகளையே அவர்கள் சொல்லட்டும்.

තමන්ට පසුව දුර්වල පරපුරක් හැර දමා ගොස් ඔවුන් සම්බන්ධයෙන් බිය වන අය (අනාථයින් සම්බන්ධව ද) ඔවුන් බිය විය යුතු ය. තවද අල්ලාහ්ට ඔවුන් බිය බැතිමත් විය යුතු ය. තවද ඔවුන් පැහැදිලි වදනින් කතා කළ යුතු ය.

Therefore, everyone is equal in Allah's decision to inherit, even though their shares vary according to the degree of their relationship to the deceased, whether being a relative, spouse, etc. Ibn Marduwyah reported that Jabir said, "Umm Kujjah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said to him, `O Messenger of Allah!

We will mention this Hadith when explaining the two Ayat about inheritance. Allah knows best.…
