Inheritance On The Basis Of Benefit
Yes Mr Minhas that’s exactly what I am assuming. See, essentially it’s the women who end up paying the price for men’s such negligence. Hence it’s women who usually complain about inheritance issues not men because men’s God given shares are more than enough for them to be at peace with the issue. I think it would be a wise idea if Muslim governments came up with a policy for its citizens where everyone above the age of 60 is required by law to write a will. ” A woman doesn’t only give birth to husband’s children but give birth to her own children too and takes care of mutual home and children” I couldn’t agree more. You put it exactly how it is. I couldn’t have put it better. However, the reason I stressed the husband part was just to highlight that if only he realises that it’s his children (too) and that he is not doing anyone any favour by financially supporting them ( his children). I am not undermining the role of a husband. Infact I fully appreciate their heavy role and massive contributions towards their families. I would be lying if I make light of the husbands’ immense responsibilities to provide for the family. Indeed a monumental responsibility. However, contrary to the popular belief career life is something women don’t shy away from. Infact they love the freedom, independence and self reliance their jobs provide them with. But I know many women who have given up their very promising careers to take on the housewife role in order to provide a better life to their mutual kids. The problem is that there aren’t many men who appreciate the signifcant contribution a wife too makes towards their “mutual home and children “. He sleeps soundly every night while his wife stays up uncountable number of nights looking after their mutual infants. Each morning a man goes to work safe in the knowledge that his(their) kids are in safest hands possible and are being looked after in the most loving way possible. He doesn’t need to worry about their pick and drop from school, their homeworks , their activities, their upbringing ( to a certain extent). He also doesn’t need to worry about the endless house chores and most of the outside errands his wife takes care of. The wife takes on all these responsibilities so that her husband can go to work with peace of mind and earn a living. ” If the translations and comprehension of the law of inheritance in Quran is correct without any vagueness, does the suggestion of the creator of this universe carry any value?” Ofcourse it does. It carries every possible value in the universe and beyond. Who am I to object to what the Almighty says. However since Allah hasn’t discouraged people to think and ask questions, ask questions I did. This is the reason some of my confusions have been clarified. Otherwise I would still be confused and resentful about so much. “On the opposite side, Allah has assigned no responsibility to women, but full freedom of education, work, business, etc.” Don’t you think it’s a bit unfair to say that. That’s exactly my point; that women don’t feel appreciated for their significant roles in societies. It is this lack of appreciation on the part of men that makes women feel under valued, degraded, undermined and belittled for their roles. This in turn has led women to feel resentful and rebellious towards men and this has culminated in ugly gender battles which is such a sad state of affairs. The men have been assigned the responsibility of the two most difficult tasks in the World. 1. Earning a living and sharing their earning with the family. 2. Protecting family and also participating in war. Putting themselves up for physical harm and even death.” I will in no way undermine the role of a husband. No doubt It’s a heavy burden to carry. And I have no qualms accepting husbands as heads of family units either. However, my problem begins when men think it’s a position of privilege, authority and dominance. No, not all. As you rightfully said it’s a position of immense responsibility. If only men paid attention to the spirit of their role rather than the title this world would be a much better place.
