Inheritance

Q: After my father passed away there was a dispute over his share. My two brothers Took their share without consulting my mum. She was very upset about this. To help calm the situation down I gave all my share of money and company share in writing to my mum which I faxed to my brother. When I called her she was not happy and said the following "what have you got to give when its not yours in the first place". I kept quite assuming she refused. She died last year and during this period nothing was said and the letter was still in her possesion. My elder brother was told the same. Now that she has passed away my eldest brother and two other siblings are claiming that I have lost my right to my share. Can you please let me have your learnerd opinion?

Changing one's job for a better salary

Q: I am from Bhopal - India. I am working in a US based IT company. I am a married person with one daughter and living happily with my parents in my own house. My question is basically related to my career. I totally believe that whatever is written in destiny by Allah, it will happen and no one can change it. I am offering Salaah on time. My company allows me to go to the Musjid for Salaah and the salary is also not bad. But my friends and relatives are continuously asking me that you are losing your career and opportunities by living in a small city. You should go to Metro cities and should work for big companies. There you will have a good salary, will get a chance to go abroad and many things I will get there. I am really very confused now. If I follow Islam then I should have to stay with my parents and family even if I'm not earning well. If I go with my career, then I will have to leave my parents, family relatives and many things. Kindly suggest to me what Islam says in terms of choosing career options? Should I leave my family and earn money or should I try getting things in the same city where I am living.
