It is essential to remember that Allah s.w.t has decreed the legislation regarding inheritance or faraid. When something is decreed by the Most Knowledgeable, there is surely wisdom in it.

Although faraid stipulates specific shares for heirs, Allah SWT also encourages that any surplus obtained after the distribution should be shared among other family members, including those who are not direct heirs.

A true believer will adorn his faith with the beauty of his manners. Faith and good character are two values that are closely related to each other and cannot be separated.
We can make a resolution this new year to deepen our understanding of religious knowledge.

We are now in the blessed month in which our Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) was born. He was a person who tirelessly strived to spread the religion of Islam.
The Prophet (s.a.w.) encountered a thousand and one tests in carrying out his responsibilities. Some strongly rejected his call to Islam, turning friends into foes and severing relationships. Despite being called "al-Amin" which means “the Trustworthy” in the past, he was still subjected to insults and ridicule.
Yet, the Prophet (s.a.w.) remained patient in the face of adversity.  He did not negatively respond to the wrongs done to him, even after Allah granted him victory. Instead, he chose forgiveness over enmity
