There are verses concerning "inheritance" (Faraa'idh) whose translation I found a bit hard to read, because it's a lot of math and divisions. This much for that person, this much for this person, your dad gets so much, your aunt gets this portion etc. Even Imam Ghazali (ra) mentioned in his Ihya' that people who are sensitive and inspired by the verses on inheritance are extremely rare.

Inheritance is without doubt very important, but sometimes important things are, quite unavoidably, dull. Fara'idh was my least favourite subject at school. I very much preferred to read about Munakahat.

But no, the Qur'an won't turn me atheist. The Book is not uniform, that's all. It's like life, some parts are unavoidable and important although a bit dull.
