Maternal aunt & we met each other after long time & she gave 3000 BDT to my brother & gave 3000 BDT to me. As a women , I’m again severely confused about taking full or half of this amount cause I saw scholars mentioning that ,even gifts should be given according to inheritance law to brother & sister.

The Quran, as well as all religions in general, always affirm the fact that God is merciful. However, if God is in fact infinitely merciful, why is creation created in a way in which animals and plants are eaten, possibly tortured, and experience pain despite the fact that they do not go to heaven in the end.
