In most homes where a lot of wealth is left, the heirs begin to fight and squabu. If you take a look at the

Quran, the only detailed explanation of an act of worship is that of distribution of the estate of the deceased or the laws of inheritance.

That is the only thing that Allah mentions in detail to the fraction.

So there has to be a reason for it. Here's the reason. That wealth doesn't belong to you

and doesn't belong to the deceased, belongs to Allah.

Allah gave it to the deceased prior to their death through whatever means he wished.

Allah gave them through business deals by giving them a brain, by putting them at the right place, at the right time,

by giving them something they might have earned it from their parents or whoever else they may have inherited it from,

or maybe,

Allah Almighty might have just granted them some form of a blessing.

They got it from Allah.

Allah says,

When I give you something,

remember when you came on to the earth you came with nothing.

When you leave, you're going to leave with nothing besides your deeds.

So whatever you've amassed, you're going to leave it behind anyway, because you didn't come with it in the first place. It's mine. I will tell you

what to do with it while you have it and I will tell you what should happen with it

after you've gone. That's Allah. That's Islam. If we acknowledge that Allah Almighty is the one who will decide how we will earn, how we will spend,

and what will happen to our wealth the day we leave. Then we're two Muslims.
