Laws and Rules of inheritance in Islam

It is invalid to divide the inheritance of a deceased person or to sell the inheritance until the debts and the zakât which was obligatory on him have been fulfilled. Something may be sold to pay off a debt or fulfill the will. The expenses of performing Hajj and ʿUmrah on behalf of the deceased must be taken out if the Hajj and ʿUmrah were obligatory on him and he did not perform them. The inheritance is like a collateral held for that purpose.

Repentance. How to repent in Islam?

What is repentance (Tawbah)? Repentance is regretting, refraining and intending not to commit the sin after that. If the sin was leaving out an obligation one makes it up and if it involved neglecting a right to a human, one satisfies it or seeks the person’s pardon.

Islam is a condition of acceptance of good deeds

To have a good belief is a condition for the acceptance of good works. So without the good belief of Islam, there is no reward in the hereafter. Allâh Taʿâlâ said: { مَثَلُ الّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ بِرَبِّهِمْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ كَرَمَادٍ اشْتَدّتْ بِهِ الرِّيحُ فِي يَوْمٍ عَاصِفٍ } which means: « The works of those who disbelieved, are like ashes carried away by the wind, a stormy day », [surat Ibrâhîm / ’âyah 18].
