The Islamic references to Quran and Hadith throughout the process helped me understand how the Islamic rulings impacted my unique situation. I love the ability to make edits to my situation down the road, and download my documents at any time. The inheritance calculator is a super-useful tool, and very easy to use.

According to Hadith, Muslim should not live for three days without will, for long time, I was seeking a Muslim attorney who could help me writing a will, they made claim but, in the end, they told me that there is no difference between Islamic will and a US will. and their fees were much more than your fees.

"The most powerful computer program is the one that combines simplicity with sophistication. When we consider these two metrics Shariawiz is by far the most powerful estate planning program available today. The designers display not only an advanced knowledge of Islamic law, but a nuanced understanding of how it is applied in the American legal system. Every possible contingency has been considered. That knowledge and sophistication is then made available in an easy-to-use program that reduces the complexities of Islamic estate planning to a smooth, easily negotiated process. Shariawiz is an ingenious breakthrough that should quickly become the most widespread instrument for Muslim estate planning."

"Islamic Inheritance Law ('ilm al-farā'iḍ ) is one of my areas of expertise. And, Shariawiz's free dynamic online "Inheritance Calculator" is a great tool for teachers and others interested in knowing how one's estate should be divided among one's heirs according to the Sharī'a. Abed Awad, its chief designer, comes with a wealth of knowledge in Arabic, Sharī'a and American law. This site is the best I've seen to date for accurately calculating Islamic inheritance and for drafting Islamic wills according to the schools of Sunni jurisprudence."

Zaytuna Professor of Islamic Law and Prophetic Tradition
"As an academic and pedagogue, I find Shariawiz not only well-designed and user-friendly, but also affords an outstanding learning experience. I was impressed with the successful programming of the entire complex of 'ilm al-farā'iḍ with its maḏāhib-divisions and easy-to-use calculator. One is able to determine the distribution of the most complex estates in seconds. I was extremely pleased with the Sharī'a-compliant solutions that Shariawiz offers to its users based on premodern fiqh and general Sharia principles, which demonstrates that the Sharia as a living tradition continues to thrive and engage Muslim communities around the world. I intend to assign Shariawiz to my students, since it provides the necessary tools of learning not only about the rules of inheritance and bequest, but also how this law can pliably mediate many spheres of life. Shariawiz is a wonderful pedagogical tool. I recommend it to anyone interested in making a Sharī'a-Compliant estate plan or wants to learn about 'ilm al-farā'iḍ, -- said by the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) to constitute "half of all knowledge." Highly recommended."

"Shariawiz is excellent! It's an online tool to calculate your will. It's also a great source for education about the complex 'ilm al-farā'iḍ. You will find so much content explaining numerous inheritance concepts such as the exceptional cases of 'awl, ta'sīb, and radd. The subtle differences of the maḏāhib are addressed on the website as well. I've personally tried it and it was easy and accurate. Highly recommended!"

"Shariawiz is a much needed and very well put together tool for those who want a Sharī'a-compliant way to write their will in the US. It is affordable, legally sound in 49 states and provides flexibility to address the needs of female family members while staying true to our religious tradition. I am so glad we finally have this option!"
