~ 123 ~ surely, you are the guilty ones. ' 77:47 … And allowed to you are those beyond that, that you seek them by means of your property, marrying them properly and not commit- ting fornication. And for the benefit you receive from them, give them their dowries, as fixed, … 4:25 Nay, We provided those and their fathers with the good things of this world till life grew long for them … 21:45 Even as those before you— they were mightier than you in power and had more wealth and children. They enjoyed their lot for a time, so have you enjoyed your lot as those before you en- joyed their lot. And you in- dulged in idle talk as they indulged in idle talk. It is they whose works shall be of no avail in this world and the Hereafter. And it is they who are the losers. 9:69 Bequests: Wa s iyyah enjoined, It is prescribed for you, when death comes to any one of you, if he leave much wealth, that he make a will to parents and near relatives to act with fairness. This is an obligation on those who fear God. 2:181
