Summary:Inheritance is an aspect of high importance in human life because of its role in sharpening the cord of kinship either through blood or marriage. It is actually one of the determinants of continuous existence of community in both social and religious aspects of life. All religions are of strong belief that estate of deceased should be conferred on his/her heirs after demise but differ on waysand mannersthrough which such should be shared. Surprisingly, matters of inheritancehavebeen a bane of peace and sanctity among living organisms without exception even among religionists. Though, research is yet to uncover in totality reasons whysuch mayhem occurs and why inheritance should not cause catastrophe among humans. This paper therefore tended to examine the gap between religious rules and practice of religious adherents that bring about the chaos. It was discovered that, lack of adequate practice of the term according to the guiding principles of Islam, disenfranchisement, covetous, and selfishness are among the indices of rooted chaos. The paper qualitatively put available literatures and historical antecedents into analysis coupled with personal observations. The paper concluded that, Islam has all embracing keys to fine-tuning the causes and provide meticulous method of sharing deceased estate without any iota of rancour. It finally recommendedthat, the guiding principlesof Islamic law of inheritance should be sorted for in distributing deceased property to avert any form of chaotic development.
