A few years ago, the only way to get an Islamic will drafted in the U.S. was to find a Muslim attorney, hope they understood both fiqh and state probate law, and pay a few thousand dollars. Now you have three dedicated platforms competing for this space: ShariaWiz, MyWassiyah, and MinaWill. The options are better. But choosing between them requires knowing what you actually need.
The short answer: ShariaWiz is the strongest option for anyone with complexity in their situation. MyWassiyah works for straightforward document generation at a lower price point. MinaWill is the most accessible entry point for someone who just wants to get started.

What these platforms are actually selling
All three generate Islamic will documents that incorporate faraid (Quranic inheritance shares) alongside standard U.S. will provisions. The documents cover asset distribution, guardian designation for minor children, executor appointment, and sometimes supplementary documents like a healthcare proxy or durable power of attorney.
Where they differ significantly: the level of attorney involvement, state-specific legal validity, customization for complex situations, and ongoing support. Those differences matter more than they might look on the pricing page.
ShariaWiz
ShariaWiz is the only one of the three that pairs every client with a licensed attorney, not just a document template. You answer intake questions, then a Muslim attorney licensed in your state reviews your situation and produces documents tailored to it. For complex estates — business ownership, blended families, real property across multiple states, large retirement accounts — this is the meaningful difference.
They cover wills, living trusts, healthcare proxies, and durable power of attorney. Their attorney network spans most U.S. states. Pricing starts around $399 for a basic will package and goes higher for trust-based estate plans. That's more than the DIY alternatives, but considerably less than hiring a local estate attorney who may or may not understand Islamic inheritance rules.

MyWassiyah
MyWassiyah takes a more document-driven approach. You complete an online questionnaire and receive a customized Islamic will document generated from your answers. It's less expensive than ShariaWiz — pricing is generally in the $99-$199 range — and faster, since there's no attorney review cycle.
The documents are well-structured and incorporate Islamic inheritance principles correctly. For someone with a simple estate — one spouse, minor children, no business assets, no property across multiple states — MyWassiyah can absolutely get the job done. The limitation shows up when the situation gets complicated. A template can't ask the follow-up questions an attorney would, and it can't flag state-specific issues that might affect how your will gets probated.
MyWassiyah is a solid choice for the "I need something done today and my situation is straightforward" use case.
MinaWill
MinaWill is the newest entrant and pitches itself as the most accessible option for first-time will creators. The platform is clean, the questionnaire is guided, and the price point is the lowest of the three. It's a good way for someone who has been putting off writing an Islamic will to actually get it done.
The tradeoff is depth. MinaWill's documents work for basic situations, but the platform has less customization capability than either ShariaWiz or MyWassiyah for non-standard scenarios. If you have specific concerns about how Islamic inheritance rules interact with your state's laws, you'll want more than MinaWill provides.

Who should use which platform
ShariaWiz is the right call if you own a business, have real estate, a blended family, assets over $500,000, or any situation where a template isn't going to capture the nuance. It's also the right call if you want an actual legal professional to stand behind your documents. The estate planning hub has more context on when an attorney-reviewed will versus a DIY document makes sense.
MyWassiyah makes sense for someone who has a simple estate and wants a quality Islamic will without the cost of attorney involvement. Young professional, one spouse, young kids, no business — this is probably enough.
MinaWill is best as a starting point. If the only thing standing between you and having an Islamic will is the hassle of getting started, MinaWill removes that friction. Just know you may want to revisit the documents later as your situation gets more complex.
One thing all three platforms can't replace
A platform generates documents. It doesn't tell you whether your beneficiary designations on retirement accounts and life insurance align with your will. It doesn't flag that your state has a specific spousal elective share that could override your Islamic inheritance distribution. And it doesn't update your documents when you have another child or buy property in a different state.
None of these platforms is a substitute for periodically reviewing your estate plan with someone who understands both Islamic law and the legal landscape in your state. If you have significant assets, that periodic review with an attorney is worth the cost. Articles like the guides on how to name guardians in an Islamic will and Islamic will vs. living trust can help you know what questions to bring to that conversation.
Frequently asked questions
Are documents from these platforms legally valid in the U.S.? Yes, with proper execution. An Islamic will is still a will — it needs to be signed in front of witnesses according to your state's requirements. The Islamic inheritance provisions are incorporated as your expressed wishes, and U.S. courts generally honor those as long as they don't violate state law. Attorney-reviewed documents (ShariaWiz) have an added layer of state-specific validation.
Do I still need to see a local attorney if I use one of these platforms? For complex situations, yes. For simple situations, attorney-reviewed platforms like ShariaWiz provide enough legal coverage. What you should definitely do regardless of which platform you use: consult a local attorney if you have business assets, real estate in multiple states, or a blended family situation.
Can these platforms handle a trust, not just a will? Currently, ShariaWiz offers living trust documents. MyWassiyah and MinaWill focus primarily on wills. If you need a trust structure, ShariaWiz is the practical option among the three.

How often should I update my Islamic will? Any major life event — marriage, divorce, birth of a child, death of a beneficiary, significant asset changes — warrants a review. As a baseline, reviewing every 3-5 years is reasonable even if nothing major has changed.
Do I need to tell my heirs about my Islamic will? It's not legally required, but it's strongly recommended. Heirs who know what to expect can cooperate with the Islamic distribution process. Surprise provisions and undisclosed inheritance plans are a common source of family conflict after someone passes.
