Islamic wills created by lawyers
Did you know having a Will ensure that your wishes upon death are carried out. If you die without a Will, your estate is distributed according to the laws of the relevant State or Territory. Without a Will, your estate will not be distributed according to your wishes and those closest to you may miss out on valuable assistance from your estate.
It is important that you have a validly executed Will prior to your death to ensure your estate is distributed and managed in accordance your Shariah obligations. Failure to do so may cause you not to fulfil your Islamic duties at death.

The importance of the Islamic Will is clear from the following two hadith:
In Surah al-Nisa’ after mentioning the rules of inheritance Allah says, “… an obligation (faridah) from Allah and Allah knows every thing and is most Wise. These are the limits of Allah and he who obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will enter him in heavens beneath which rivers flow, abiding there forever and that is a great success. But he who disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His limits, He will enter him in hell to live there for ever and for him is a humiliating punishment. “(4:11-14).
Imagine facing Allah having enjoyed all the luxuries this life has to offer but never having taken consideration for one’s own transition into the next life.
“It is the duty of a Muslim who has anything to bequest not to let two nights pass without writing a will about it.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
“A man may do good deeds for seventy years but if he acts unjustly when he leaves his last testament, the wickedness of his deed will be sealed upon him, and he will enter the Fire. If, (on the other hand), a man acts wickedly for seventy years but is just in his last will and testament, the goodness of his deed will be sealed upon him, and he will enter the Garden.” (Ahmad and Ibn Majah)
