THE FINAL BEQUEST – THE ISLAMIC WILL & TESTAMENT – Book Sample

GENERAL DESCRIPTION – THE FINAL BEQUEST – THE ISLAMIC WILL & TESTAMENT

This book is the Second in the series ((Chronologically, it was completed last, with Part 4 (Life in al-Barzakh) first, Part 1 (Sickness: Regulations & Exhortations) second, and Part 3 (Funerals: Regulations & Exhortations) third. A predecessor to this book, titled ”The Islamic Will and Testament”, was published in 1995, in a rudimentary form, and not as part of this series. That edition is out of print, and this book completely replaces and surpasses it.)) Its main goal is to direct the Muslims and guide them in writing their wills, especially those living in non-Islamic countries where the correct laws of inheritance are not normally applicable.

Thus, the first two chapters mostly deal with guidelines and instructions concerning writing a will.

The Islamic Law of Inheritance

Furthermore, a good portion of this book has been reserved for the subject of “the Islamic Law of Inheritance”. Among the reasons for this are the following:

1. The Islamic law of inheritance is an essential complement to the subject of will-writing. Both of them need to be considered when an estate is divided.
2. Individuals writing their will in the west need a reference on the Islamic law of inheritance to help them determine the correct shares of their legal heirs. This would make their will more precise and acceptable by the non-Muslim authorities, and would help control the tendency toward unfairness in dividing the estate.
3. Imams, executors, and other persons responsible for dividing an estate should have a basic knowledge of the Islamic law of inheritance.
4. 4) With the scarcity of books on this subject in English, this could be used as a first reference or textbook for students who wish to study the subject of Islamic inheritance.

Thus, the last three chapters of this book deal with the law of Islamic inheritance. They lay down the textual foundation for the subject, present its basic rules, and provide numerous examples and case studies.
