Introduction:
Obligation of Islamic Will and Testament; From Quran and Sunnah

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

“It is prescribed for you that when any of you approaches death, if he leaves any good, let him make a will for the parents and other relatives. This is a duty for those who are mindful of God.” (2:180).

Narrated by Abdullah bin ‘Umar, radi Allah Anhu: Allah’s Messenger, salla Allah Alayhi wa sallam, said,

“It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will, to stay for two nights without having his last will and testament written and kept ready with him. “

[4:1- O.B]

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has emphasised the preparation of a Will at one’s earliest opportunity. According to a narration reported by Abdullah ibn Umar (ra), the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said: “It is not befitting for a Muslim who has something to make a Will of, to remain for two nights without having one’s last Will and testament written and kept ready with one.” (Sahih Bukhari)

Muhammadi Masjid Disclamer

This prototype document was prepared by the Muhammadi Masjid, (MM henceforth), through consultation with lawyers, religious scholars and review of several such documents from other major Islamic centers, to facilitate the completion of this essential religious obligation. This document is designed to be used as a reference and template. The MM does not assume any legal responsibly and does not carry any liability in relation to the use of this document. Furthermore, being a religious organization, the MM cannot be named as an “executor” or guardian in any will, and will not accept such delegation. However MM can nominate and appoint a qualified individual to be executor of this Last Will and Testament in the event that the person (s) appointed are unwilling or unable. All mature Muslims are obligated to prepare, to update, and secure their wills. Consultation with qualified Islamic scholars and obtaining legal council to customize, and to legalize this document is advised.

Last Will & Testimonial

(Compliant to Islamic Jurisprudence)

Article 1: IDENTITY of TESTATOR, HEIRS

I, ___________________________________________________________________, presently residing

at ___________________________________________________________________, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby revoke any and all former Wills and Codicils made by me, and do make, ordain, publish, and declare this my last Will and Testament. At the time of the execution of this Will, my immediate family consists of:

Name Relationship Date of Birth

Article 2: PREAMBLE

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful;

Allah Almighty declares,

“Every soul will taste death. You will be paid your wages in full on the Day of Rising. Anyone who is distanced from the Jahannam and admitted to Jannah has achieved true success. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of delusion,” (Quran 3:185)

“Every soul shall have taste of death; in the end to us you shall be brought back”. (Quran, 29:57)

I,________________________________________________bear witness that there is no deity but Allah, the One, the Merciful, the Almighty Creator of the heavens and the earth and all therein, Lord of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and all the Prophets, mercy and peace be upon them all. He is One God and He has no partner. I further bear witness that the Prophet Muhammad is His servant, His Messenger and the last of the Prophets, mercy and peace upon him. I testify with conviction, that Allah is the Truth, that His promise is true, that death, that the Day of Resurrection, that the Day of Judgment, that Paradise, that Hell, and that our meeting with Him are all absolutely true. I testify and acknowledge that Allah, the Lord of everything that exists, is absolutely exalted above all deficiencies and imperfections.

This is my counsel to my relatives, my friends, my Muslim brothers and sisters, so please take heed of these very important statements and directives. I advise you to observe piety with ALLAH, and strive to be true Muslims. Furthermore, I implore everyone after me, to submit to ALLAH, may He be Exalted, to worship Him alone, to fear Him alone, as the best provision of the hereafter is Takwa and to Love Him and His Prophet Mohammad with unparalleled love. I direct everyone after me to obey ALLAH, and to strive maximally to fulfil His Commandments, in accordance to the sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, may the Peace and blessings of ALLAH be upon him. I warn everyone after me to prepare for their own death, and not to die except in a state of complete iman (faith). Whatever ALLAH, SWA and His Messenger have described is now reality for me, and will soon be likewise for all of you. My opportunity to perform good deeds has ended; my period of accounting and recompense has begun. Your opportunity to do good deeds is ongoing; therefore be prudent and wise with your remaining period life. Do not be deceived or beguiled by the worldly life; it is only temporary. Death is the inevitable reality, and our final return is to Our Creator.

Please do not preoccupy yourself with my death, but instead, make preparations for your own. Practice patience and self-restraint in accordance to the following teachings in Islam; female relatives can mourn for no more than three days, although a widow is allowed to mourn for four lunar months and ten days until her iddah (period of waiting) is completed. Wailing and excessive weeping is forbidden.

Finally, I ask all my relatives, friends, and all others, whether they share my beliefs or not, to honor my constitutional right to these beliefs. I ask them to honour this document, to implement its directives and to preserve its content.

Article 3 : FUNERAL AND BURIAL RITES
