Which are the two places in the Noble Qur’an where it is mentioned that blood relatives are more entitled to one another, and what do they mean?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah Almighty mentioned, "And those of kinship are nearer to one another," in two places in the Qur’an. The first is in Surat Al-Anfal, meaning that if the guardianship of Islam is supported by the guardianship of kinship, that makes support stronger. The second is in Surat Al-Ahzab, indicating the abrogation of the ruling of inheritance by brotherhood, which was known in early Islam, so that those of kinship become nearer to one another in inheritance.
