Islamic Inheritance
Slightly off topic, but the mathematical error in Qur’an regarding inheritance distribution caused a lot of problems to the faith of Ghamidi saab himself and he was on the verge of leaving Islam on the basis of this mathematical error. Later, I think he came up with some explanation of these supposed errors, and hence his view of reading Qur’an is in that light. Other scholars resolved this mathematical error by reinterpreting the verses in their own way. So, it is not clear, what Allah really wanted to say and if Allah committed some mathematical error in division of inheritance. The fact that different scholars resolve it differently, proves this point.
Sameer sahab, that’s true of any body of knowledge. Understanding or interpreting something is a human feat and there’s always room for error. Our job is to weigh the arguments on either side and accept/reject anything on the basis of evidence. The key thing to remember is that reward and punishment is not on the basis of right and wrong only, but our attitude towards the truth when it has manifested itself upon us – on the basis of evidence.
