Abstract
The research paper “An Applied Study of Justice and Equality in the
Verses of the Inheritance”, explores the dimensions of justice and
equality in the Qur’ānic verses of inheritance, particularly those
found in Sūrat al-Nisāʾ. Through an analytical examination of
relevant Qur’ānic texts and Prophetic traditions, it demonstrates that
the Islamic law of inheritance is founded upon principles of fairness,
rights protection, and social welfare. The research highlights how the
Qur’ān establishes a balanced system by assigning fixed shares to
heirs, safeguarding the rights of women and vulnerable family
members, preventing economic exploitation, and promoting family
cohesion. It further argues that differences in inheritance shares are
based on responsibilities and legal obligations rather than
discrimination, reflecting a broader concept of distributive justice.
