Why choose MuslimWills?

Creating a Will is one of the most important steps you can take to ensure that your wishes are respected after your passing. For Australian Muslims, it is especially important to have a Will that complies with both Islamic principles and Australian law. MuslimWills offers a unique service that makes this process simple, ensuring your estate is distributed according to Islamic inheritance laws while meeting legal requirements. Here are 7 reasons why you should choose MuslimWills.com.au to secure your legacy.

1. Islamic Inheritance Principles

MuslimWills is specifically designed to help you create a Will that aligns with Islamic inheritance law (fara’id). The platform ensures that:

• Fixed Shares: The estate is divided among your heirs according to the shares specified in the Qur'an and Hadith, such as for your spouse, children, and parents.
• Wasiyyah (Discretionary Bequests): You can allocate up to one-third of your estate to non-fixed heirs or charitable causes, ensuring your charitable intentions are fulfilled.
• Simple and Fair Distribution: The inheritance calculator ensures your estate is distributed in a fair, Shari’ah-compliant manner, minimising disputes among heirs.

By using MuslimWills, you ensure that your Will is designed to respect the principles of justice and equity that Islam emphasises.

• Customisable Options: You can customise your Will based on your unique circumstances, such as specifying guardianship for children or choosing your charitable bequests.
• Instant Access: Once completed, you can download your Will immediately, sign and store it securely, ensuring it is ready when needed.
