Inheritance takes on several meanings here: the earth that Allah’s righteous servants will inherit, the inheritance of the heavens and the earth that belongs to Allah, the heirs of Paradise and the inheritance of the Book. The verses also set out the general principle of succession, its rules among parents, children, siblings and spouses and the case of kalalah, warning against transgressing Allah’s limits.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
And let not those who [greedily] withhold what Allāh has given them of His bounty ever think that it is better for them. Rather, it is worse for them. Their necks will be encircled by what they withheld on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allāh belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth. And Allāh, of what you do, is [fully] Aware.
Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allāh and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allāh. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."
