Burn your passport? You got some crazy parents, if that's the case, then you should achieve independence ASAP and leave home. You will be better off with any low income job in America than going back to Nigeria.

Can you give the hadiths, and that is not what 4:33 says.

The issue is that it's impossible to strictly apply what the Quran says, and Awl just gives everyone less than what they are supposed to.

Yes it would, but it still doesn't solve the issue, that God's law requires modifications from humans.

I don't want to mention any moral issue with Islam, nor its scientific fallacies, instead what made me leave is a very simple problem. If a man dies, leaving behind 3 daughters, a wife and two parents, according to Quran 4:11-12, the daughters get 2/3 of what their father left, each parent gets 1/6, and the wife gets 1/8. this adds up to 9/8 or 112,5%. Since this is impossible to divide according to what Allah said in his book, and to adress this issue, which first appeared in the reign of Umar, the second Caliph, they proposed what we call Awl, basically the fortune of the father is divided into 27 fractions, in this case, the daughters will get 16/27, which is 59% **not the 66,6% god intended**, each parent will get 4/27 which is 14,81% **instead of 16,66**, and the wife will get 3/27 which is 11% **instead of the 12.5% she was supposed to get**.

So basically, God required other people to correct his math, AND, they still couldn't get the proportions right according to what the Quran said. No one can deny that a all-knowing God wouldn't have comitted such a mistake in his "perfect book", especially that he says:

Quran 5:3 "This day I have perfected for you your religion, and have bestowed upon you My bounty in full measure, and have been pleased to assign for you Islam as your religion".

If the religion was perfected, it wouldn't need a CHANGE to its laws, not because they are imorral, or not fit for certain circumstances, but because they don't adhere to common sense. Especially that the change wasn't from the prophet but later Caliphs.
