The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. For us at Islamicwills.co.uk, that journey started in the shadows of uncertainty, where too many Muslim families found themselves without adequate Islamic Wills and estate planning. Today, we step confidently into the light, ready to educate and empower Muslims across England and Wales.

1. Breaking free from cultural constraints

After many generations, our Muslim community has relied on cultural practices in relation to Islamic inheritance. Many Muslims believed that by simply following Islamic principles would be sufficient, without having an understanding of how these principles interact with the English law. This lack of understanding has led many Muslim families into heartbreaking legal battles, unexpected tax burdens, and assets distributed against the deceased's wishes.

We've emerged from this cave of misunderstanding with a torch of knowledge and expertise.

2. The awakening through corporate law

Within corporate law, I witnessed business succession planning, asset protection, and wealth transfer strategies for major corporations.

Yet after Friday prayers, sitting with Muslims at the mosque, I'd hear many stories of Muslim families thrown into disarray following the death of a loved one – all because sufficient provisions for Islamic Wills were overlooked. The contrast was stark and troubling.

It became very clear that my legal expertise in Islamic inheritance could serve a higher purpose – ensuring that the wealth of Muslims is protected and preserved.

3. Our renewed mission

Today, we're not just Will writers – we are the leading providers for Islamic Wills.

Our approach combines of the following:

• Thorough understanding of Islamic inheritance laws (Fiqh al-Mawarith)

• Expert knowledge in English law

• Personalised and tailored advice for your family situation.

4. The stakes have never been higher

As our Muslim community prospers across England and Wales, our assets appreciate in time and our financial situations change. Business interests, multiple properties, investments, and savings that require careful consideration.

Without planning ahead, up to 40% of your net estate will be liable to inheritance tax. Furthermore, without a valid Islamic Will in place, your assets will not be distributed in accordance with Islamic principles.

5. Empowering through education

Knowledge is the greatest gift we can share as Muslims. We are fully committed in helping Muslims across England & Wales.

Our blog will regularly feature:

• Clear explanations of inheritance rulings

• Real case studies (with identities protected)

• Expert interviews with scholars and legal professionals

• Practical guidance you can implement today.

6. The power to preserve

There is something profoundly rewarding about creating an Islamic Will. It is more than a legal document – it is your final act of worship, your lasting statement of faith, and your enduring gift to those you love.

When properly crafted, your Islamic will ensures:

• Your wealth is distributed according to Shariah principles

• Your minor children are cared for by your appointed guardians

• Your charitable intentions (Sadaqah Jariyah) continue benefiting you in the hereafter

• Your family avoids unnecessary conflict, confusion, and costly court battles.
