يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلاَدِكُمْ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الأُنثَيَيْنِ فَإِنْ كُنَّ نِسَاء ً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَيْنِ فَلَهُنَّ ثُلُثَا مَا تَرَكَ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ وَاحِدَة ً فَلَهَا النِّصْفُ وَلِأَبَوَيْهِ لِكُلِّ وَاحِد ٍ مِنْهُمَا السُّدُسُ مِمَّا تَرَكَ إِنْ كَانَ لَه ُُ وَلَد ٌ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَه ُُ وَلَد ٌ وَوَرِثَهُ~ُ أَبَوَاه ُُ فَلِأَمِّهِ الثُّلُثُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ~ُ إِخْوَة ٌ فَلِأَمِّهِ السُّدُسُ مِنْ بَعْدِ وَصِيَّة ٍ يُوصِي بِهَا أَوْ دَيْن ٍ آبَاؤُكُمْ وَأَبْنَاؤُكُمْ لاَ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّهُمْ أَقْرَبُ لَكُمْ نَفْعا ً فَرِيضَة ً مِنَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلِيماً حَكِيما ً

God directs you regarding the inheritance of your children: "To the male shall be as that given to two females. If they are women, more than two, then they will have two thirds of what is inherited. And if she is only one, then she will have one half. And to his parents, each one of them shall have one sixth of what is inherited, if he has a child. If he has no child and his parents are the heirs, then to his mother is one third; if he has siblings then to his mother is one sixth. All after a will is carried through or a debt. Your parents and your children, you do not know which are closer to you in benefit, a directive from God, for God is Knowledgeable, Wise."
21:109
فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ آذَنْتُكُمْ عَلَى سَوَاء ٍ وَإِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيبٌ أَمْ بَعِيد ٌ مَا تُوعَدُونَ
Fa'in Tawallaw Faqul 'Ādhantukum `Alá Sawā'in Wa 'In 'Adrī 'Aqarībun 'Am Ba`īdun Mā Tū`adūna
So if they turn away, then say: "I have given you notice sufficiently, and I do not know if what you are promised is near or far."
21:111
وَإِنْ أَدْرِي لَعَلَّه ُُ فِتْنَة ٌ لَكُمْ وَمَتَاع ٌ إِلَى حِين ٍ
Wa 'In 'Adrī La`allahu Fitnatun Lakum Wa Matā`un 'Ilá Ĥīnin
"And for all I know, it may be a test for you and an enjoyment for a while."
31:34
إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَه ُُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الْغَيْثَ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الأَرْحَامِ وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْس ٌ مَاذَا تَكْسِبُ غَدا ً وَمَا تَدْرِي نَفْس ٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْض ٍ تَمُوتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِير ٌ

With God is the knowledge regarding the Hour. And He sends down the rain, and He knows what is inside the wombs. No soul knows what it may gain tomorrow, nor does any soul know in which land it will die. God is Knowledgeable, Expert.

وَكَذَلِكَ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ رُوحا ً مِنْ أَمْرِنَا مَا كُنْتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَلاَ الإِيمَانُ وَلَكِنْ جَعَلْنَاه ُُ نُورا ً نَهْدِي بِه ِِ مَنْ نَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا وَإِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلَى صِرَاط ٍ مُسْتَقِيم ٍ

And thus, We inspired to you a revelation of Our command. You did not know what was the Book, nor what was faith. Yet, We made this a light to guide whoever We wish from among Our servants. Surely, you guide to a straight path.
45:32
وَإِذَا قِيلَ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقّ ٌ وَالسَّاعَةُ لاَ رَيْبَ فِيهَا قُلْتُمْ مَا نَدْرِي مَا السَّاعَةُ إِنْ نَظُنُّ إِلاَّ ظَنّا ً وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُسْتَيْقِنِينَ

And when it was said: Surely the promise ofGod is the truth, and there is no doubt about the coming of the Hour, you said: We do not know what the Hour is! We are full of conjecture about it; we are not certain.
46:9
قُلْ مَا كُنْتُ بِدْعا ً مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي وَلاَ بِكُمْ إِنْ أَتَّبِعُ إِلاَّ مَا يُوحَى إِلَيَّ وَمَا أَنَا إِلاَّ نَذِير ٌ مُبِين ٌ

Say: I am no different from the other messengers, nor do I know what will happen to me or to you. I only follow what is inspired to me. I am no more than a clear warner
65:1
يَاأَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِذَا طَلَّقْتُمُ النِسَاء فَطَلِّقُوهُنَّ لِعِدَّتِهِنَّ وَأَحْصُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ لاَ تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلاَ يَخْرُجْنَ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَة ٍ مُبَيِّنَة ٍ وَتِلْكَ حُدُودُ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ يَتَعَدَّ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَ نَفْسَهُ لاَ تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَمْرا ً
Yā 'Ayyuhā An-Nabīyu 'Idhā Ţallaqtumu An-Nisā' Faţalliqūhunna Li`iddatihinna Wa 'Aĥşū Al-`Iddata Wa Attaqū Allāha Rabbakum Lā Tukhrijūhunna Min Buyūtihinna Wa Lā Yakhrujna 'Illā 'An Ya'tīna Bifāĥishatin Mubayyinatin Wa Tilka Ĥudūdu Allāhi Wa Man Yata`adda Ĥudūda Allāhi Faqad žalama Nafsahu Lā Tadrī La`alla Allāha Yuĥdithu Ba`da Dhālika 'Amrāan
O you prophet, if any of you have divorced the women, then they should be divorced while ensuring that their required interim is fulfilled, and keep count of the interim. You shall reverence God your Lord, and do not evict them from their homes, nor should they leave, unless they commit an evident lewdness. And these are the boundaries of God. And anyone who transgresses the boundaries of God has wronged his soul. You never know; perhaps God will make something come out of this.
69:26
وَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا حِسَابِيهْ

Wa 'Annā Lā Nadrī 'Asharrun 'Urīda Biman Fī Al-'ArĐi 'Am 'Arāda Bihim Rabbuhum Rashadāan
And we do not know, is it evil that is intended for those on the earth, or does their Lord want them to be guided?
72:25
قُلْ إِنْ أَدْرِي أَقَرِيب ٌ مَا تُوعَدُونَ أَمْ يَجْعَلُ لَه ُُ رَبِّي أَمَدا ً
Qul 'In 'Adrī 'Aqarībun Mā Tū`adūna 'Am Yaj`alu Lahu Rabbī 'Amadāan
