The Critical Importance of an Islamic Will: A Family’s Crisis and a Grandson’s Appeal
Introduction: When Grief Meets Urgency
I’ve seen many emotional situations in my time working with families. But this one stayed with me.
Just after the December bank holiday, I received an urgent request through our website. It was from a young man whose grandparents, both aged 85, had just lost their youngest daughter (his aunt) to cancer. They were grieving, ill, and completely unprepared for what was to come next.
Realisation: “Their Wills Aren’t Islamic…”
He told me his grandparents had standard English wills drawn up years ago through a law firm. But in the wake of the family tragedy, he began thinking more deeply about inheritance and how it should be handled.
That’s when he realised: those wills didn’t comply with Islamic inheritance rules.
Despite everything they were going through — sickness, hospital visits, and grief — he gently raised the issue with his grandparents. And they agreed: if they were going to leave behind something for their family, it had to be done right, according to Shariah.
The Law Firm Was Shut Down by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA)
The grandson contacted the original law firm to begin amending the wills — only to find out that the SRA had completely shut the firm down.
There was no warning. No access to files. No solicitor to speak to.
To make things worse, it was Christmas time, and most offices were shut. His grandparents were fragile — physically and emotionally — and time was of the essence.
How He Found Us – and Why I Stepped In Personally
The grandson searched online for Islamic Will services and found islamicwills.co.uk. He submitted an urgent contact form request, likely not expecting a response for several days.
But when I saw his request — even though our office was technically closed — I felt compelled to respond the very next day after the Bank Holiday.
This wasn’t just another legal task. It was a Muslim family in desperate need of reassurance, clarity, and a faith-based solution.
Going Beyond the Process: What I Did Next
I personally contacted him and arranged a video call with his grandparents, where I:
Carefully explained how Islamic inheritance works
Compared it with their existing English wills
Answered their questions patiently, considering their health
Completed and delivered fully compliant Shariah Wills in a matter of days
This wasn’t about business. It was about serving the ummah in their time of need — when others weren’t available.
His Words Meant the Most
“Zahur went above and beyond. No lawyer would do what he did. He worked out of hours, made sure everything was clear to my grandparents, and to this day still checks in on them. He’s more than a legal advisor — he’s like a family friend now.”
– Grandson of the couple
What This Taught Me
This case reminded me of several hard truths many Muslim families face in the UK:
Standard English wills don’t fulfil Islamic inheritance obligations
Law firms can disappear without notice — and with them, your documents
Families are often unaware of how urgently wills need to be updated after a death
And when someone passes, you need clarity, not complications
