The Importance of the Islamic Will

There are numerous references relating to Wills from the Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Simply reflecting on just a few of these references ought to make one realise the importance of writing an Islamic Will.

Quran

It is prescribed, when death approaches any of you, if he leave any goods, that he make a bequest to parents and near relatives, according to reasonable usage; this is due from the God-fearing.” (Surah Al-Baqarah, v 180)

It is the duty of every Muslim who has anything to bequeath not to let two nights pass without writing a Will about it. (Sahih al Bukhari)

Can you afford to delay writing a Will any longer?
