One Last Thing...

Your Compulsory Will

Prepare Your Islamic Will

 

 

Pursuant to the Prophets’s order for Muslims to have their wills written,I hereby request and certify the following while being in full mental and good health.

 

 

I,xxxxxxx bear witness that there is no deity except Allah and that Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah.

 

 

 

I ask those who survive me from among my relatives and immediate family members to fear Allah (Subahana wa Ta’ala)

and not to cut family ties as well as correct the relationships among yourselves and to obey Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him),as Allah orders in the Quran.

 

Forgive the faults of others.Do not seek revenge against anybody.

 

This world is a passing phase.Do not devote all your energies for this temporary place.

 

Keep seeking Islamic knowledge and practice what you learn.   

 

At the time of my death, no customs and practices or innovations which are contrary to the sunnah must be engaged in e.g. wailing .If you do any such innovations, then I am free from that guilt and deviation,having therefore discharged my moral responsibility by informing you.

 

After performing my ghusal etc in the sunnah manner,my burial must not be unduly delayed.After you have buried me,the first thing you must do is clear me of my debts ,as the believer’s soul is held back by his liabilities.

 

Wind up my estate and give all the heirs their shares according to the Shariah as quickly as possible.Ensure that everybody is given the total amount that is due to them.

 

I declare that I have forgiven everyone who has backbitten me and request all those who knew me to do the same for whatever I may have erroneously taken from them or said against them.

 

Be mindful of your duties to Allah (Subahana wa Ta’ala) as well as to fellow men.Do not usurp the rights of anyone.I request my family and relatives to establish the five daily prayers at their fixed times.

 

There is no deity except Allah.Indeed,to Allah we belong and indeed to Him we return.
