Who it's for

For

Muslim adults who want their family to know what to do: for their janazah, their debts and trusts, their zakat and fasts, their children and their property.

The problem it solves

When someone dies, their family often doesn't know about debts, what was held in trust, where the papers are, or what the person wanted, and Islamic duties go undone.

What you'll have

One binder that holds your wishes and records, kept up to date, and worksheet pages ready to take to a lawyer and a scholar when you prepare your wasiyyah.

How it works

  1. Check out

    Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. In the US you pay the listed price with no tax; outside the US, any local tax is added at checkout.

    Your files appear on the order page straight away, and we email you the links.

  3. Fill it in and keep it safe

    Fill in what you can, tell one or two trusted people where it is, and take the wasiyyah pages to a lawyer and a scholar. Do not sign it as a will.

Sources

  • Hadith and duas: Arabic from the collections named on each page, with the reference printed beside each one. The English meanings of hadith and duas are our own translations.
  • Quran translation: The Clear Quran by Dr. Mustafa Khattab.
  • Where the schools of fiqh differ, as on missed fasts after death or zakat, the page says so and asks you to follow your local scholar.

This is not a legal will. It is not intended to be a will, and it is not legal or financial advice. It helps you record your wishes and affairs, and prepare to talk to a lawyer and a scholar. The rules depend on where you live. Ask a lawyer there.

Questions

Is this a will?

No. It is not intended to be a will, and it is not legal or financial advice. Do not sign it as a will. Use it to gather your wishes and records, and take the wasiyyah pages to a lawyer and a scholar. The rules depend on where you live. Ask a lawyer there.

Will my typing be saved?

Yes, if you save the file after typing. In Adobe Acrobat Reader and Apple Preview, use Save or Save As; keep a copy somewhere safe and private.

Can each adult in my household use it?

Yes. Fill in a separate copy for each person.

What if I lose the files?

Each download link works for 7 days and up to 5 downloads. You can get fresh links any time on the downloads page with the email you used at checkout.

Is tax added to the price?

It depends on where you buy from. In the United States, no: you pay the listed price with no tax, and Intelligent Designz is the seller. Outside the US, Link, a Stripe service, is the seller and adds any local sales tax, VAT or GST at checkout, so your total can be higher than the listed price. Choose the country you are buying from on the cart.

Can I get a refund?

Downloads are delivered the moment you pay, so all sales are final. If a file won't download or open, email us and we'll fix it. See the refund policy. Refund policy
