Writing an Islamic will is not just a legal responsibility—it’s a religious duty and an act of Amanah (trust) towards your family. Without one, your wealth may not be distributed according to Sharia law, leading to disputes or unintended inheritance.
This simple guide walks you through the steps—so you can protect your family’s future the right way. And if you want expert help to ensure everything is 100% Sharia-compliant and legally valid, we’re here to assist.
Step 1: Understand Islamic Inheritance (Faraid)
Before writing your will, learn the basics of Faraid (Islamic inheritance laws):
-Fixed shares for spouses, children, parents
-Up to 1/3 can be given freely (to charity, non-heirs)
– Sons usually inherit double daughters’ shares
❌ Mistake to avoid: Assuming UK law will follow Islamic rules—it won’t unless you specify in a will.
✅ Our service: We explain Faraid clearly and apply it correctly in your will.
Step 2: List Your Assets
Include everything you own:
-Property
-Savings & investments
– Business shares
– Personal belongings
❌ Mistake to avoid: Forgetting digital assets (online accounts, crypto).
✅ Our service: We help you cover everything, so nothing is left unprotected.
Step 3: Choose Your Executors
Pick someone trustworthy to carry out your wishes—usually a family member or a Muslim solicitor who understands Islamic wills.
❌ Mistake to avoid: Appointing someone unfamiliar with Sharia law, leading to errors.
✅ Our service: We can act as professional executors, ensuring your will is followed correctly.
Step 4: Write Your Will (Sharia-Compliant + Legally Valid)
Your will must:
✔ Follow Faraid for mandatory heirs
✔ Distribute the remaining 1/3 as you wish (charity, gifts)
✔ Be witnessed & signed correctly (UK legal requirement)
❌ Mistake to avoid: Using a generic template that doesn’t comply with Islamic or UK law.
✅ Our service: We draft custom Islamic wills that meet both Sharia and UK legal standards.
Step 5: Store It Safely & Update When Needed
Keep your will in a secure place and update it after major life changes (marriage, new children, buying property).
❌ Mistake to avoid: Writing a will once and forgetting about it.
✅ Our service: We offer free updates and secure storage for your peace of mind.
Final Thought: Don’t Leave It to Chance
The Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“It is the duty of a Muslim who has anything to bequeath not to let two nights pass without writing a will.” (Bukhari)
Setting up an Islamic will is easier than you think—but getting it wrong can have serious consequences.
