death

Dr. Irving was once a fixture at Muslim conventions. This author, professor, and translator of the first American English translation of the Quran who accepted Islam over 50 years ago passed away peacefully on the morning of September 24, 2002 in his Mississippi home.

Allah tells us in the Quran: "Every soul shall taste Death." How? Where? When? Only He knows. It's up to YOU to be prepared for this moment by keeping yourself in check by holding that thought - the thought of death - all the time. 

Here is a sample will muslims can use in the United States. Note: This is not legal advice. It is just an outline for your guidance. Please consult your attorney and your accountant for proper legally sound advice.

Making your will need not be very difficult. All you really need is a commitment to do it, to contact the right people and draft it. This is not a legal advice. Circumstances will vary by individual. 

The subject of death is very important to all of us. Every one of us has to die. In this regard Allah mentioned in the Quran in Surah Al-Zumar that everyone has to die including the Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him) himself: "Truly thou wilt die (one day), and truly they (too) will die (one day) (Quran 39:30).
