Don’t Delay: The Islamic Duty of Preparing Your Will
As Muslims, it is important that we do not delay in writing a will. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to spend eve 3 nights without having his last will and testament written and kept ready with him” (Bukhari and Muslim).
A will safeguards our responsibilities—ensuring debts are paid, dependents are cared for, and our final wishes are respected according to Islamic law. For those living in non-Muslim countries, it is especially important to clearly state the desire for a proper Islamic burial and to be buried in the land where one dies, in accordance with Islamic teachings. Without a will, there is a risk that local customs may override Islamic practices.
Preparing a will is not only a legal step but also it is an act of faith, ensuring that even after we return to Allah, our final moments reflect our commitment to Allah Most High.
