Marmaduke Pickthall, The Meaning of The Glorious Koran. An Explanatory Translation (1930)

unto Him, them He will cause to enter into His mercy and grace, and will guide them unto Him by a straight road.

177. They ask thee for a pronouncement. Say: Allah hath pronounced for you concerning distant kindred. If a man die childless and he have a sister, hers is half the heritage, and he would have inherited from her had she died childless. And if there be two sisters, then theirs are two-thirds of the heritage, and if they be brethren, men and women, unto the male is the equivalent of the share of two females. Allah expoundeth unto you, so that ye err not. Allah is Knower of all things.
