What is an Islamic Will?
An Islamic Will is a document that says what should happen to your money, property, and responsibilities after you pass away – in line with Islamic law (Shariah).
It’s not just for older people. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“It is not right for a Muslim who has something to will to stay two nights without having a written will.” – (Bukhari)
So even if you’re young, owning anything, or have dependents – it’s a good idea.
Why Do Muslims Need a Specific Will?
In the UK, if you die without a valid Will, the government decides who gets what. That usually goes against Islamic inheritance rules, which are clearly laid out in the Qur’an.
By writing an Islamic Will, you:
• Make sure your wealth is divided fairly according to the Qur’an
• Protect your children and guardianship choices
• Choose a trustworthy person (executor) to handle things
• Avoid confusion and family problems later
What Makes It ‘Islamic’?
A proper Islamic Will:
• Gives fixed shares to family (like spouse, kids, parents)
• Lets you give up to 1/3 of your wealth to charity or others (non-heirs)
• Names guardians for your children
• Doesn’t include haram things like interest or unfair exclusion
Why Help Yateem Talks About Wills
We care deeply about children, especially orphans. If a parent passes away without planning ahead, children can end up in unsafe situations or without support. Planning your Will can protect them – just like you protect your own.
Plus, that 1/3 optional portion? You can use that to leave something to charity, like Help Yateem, and make your legacy last.
Quick Facts:
• You don’t need to be rich to write a Will
• You can update it anytime
• It’s legally valid in the UK when signed and witnessed
• It brings peace of mind – for you and your loved ones
