Islamic Will & Testament

2nd Edition

Writing a will is a religious obligation on every capable Mulsim. It protects against many problems and conflicts that could arise after a person’_’_Ύs death. This obligation is more emphasized in the West: Failing to write a well-founded will may result in the distribution of one’_’_Ύs estate in discord with the Islamic law, and may lead to losses for some of the rightful inheritors. Because of this, we have compiled:

Useful authentic information on writing wills,

Practical ready-to-fill will-forms, and

A brief overview of the Islamic law of inheritance.

Our hope is that, by this, we are presenting to the Muslims in the West a much needed service, for which we seek Allah’s acceptance and forgiveness.
