Everyone in your society has some rights over you. Your family has rights. They are your obligations. An Islamic Estate Planning Attorney would allow you to make sure you are not shirking them. Our goal is to help educate the Muslim community about their obligations to their family and help them fulfill those obligations. It is that simple.
An obligation
Islamic Inheritance is fard in Islam. Responsible families, regardless of religion, do estate planning. Muslim Families do Islamic Estate Planning to save families heartache, pain and often, money. It is how your family stays united during difficult times, by keeping to your faith. This is why you go to an Islamic Estate Planning Attorney.
Sadly for Muslims, the Islamic Rules of Inheritance is one obligation that many Muslims know nothing about.

If you are an American Muslim and would like the peace of mind from knowing that your loved ones will have a clear Islamic Inheritance plan to follow, I highly recommend utilizing the services of Ahmed Shaikh. As a practicing Muslim who was lost between the Islamic and the Legal perspectives with regards to inheritance planning, I found Ahmed Shaikh to be knowledgeable, thorough, and organized.
He knows both perspectives very well and he was able to answer and address all of my concerns and questions. I definitely felt at peace once my inheritance planning was in place. I highly recommend his services.

“For a long time I knew that I should have an estate plan for my family. I guess I procrastinated because I felt that an average attorney does not understand the needs of the Muslim community. Then, I was introduced to Ahmed Shaikh. I used his service; I found it highly professional, and I recommended it to friends.”

“After losing a loved one, you need all the support you can get to minimize the challenges you will face during this trying time handling all the final details. During these emotional times you need someone who understands your religious wishes and is sensitive to your specific needs.
Ahmed helped me manage my case the best he could in probate. He helped make the process easier and reassured me every step of the way.
This was a life lesson for my family. Please DO NOT wait to have your final wishes and arrangements organized as soon as possible. You never want your loved ones dealing with all the complex details of your final arrangements. It’s difficult to concentrate and make important decisions under such stress and pressure.
Ahmed was caring, sensitive, and always available to answer questions. He understood the subject very well. You can be assured that all the details of your arrangements will be managed professionally and honorably. You will not be disappointed!
After a frantic search online, trying to find someone suitable to handle my case, I found Mr. Ahmed Shaikh. I am very blessed to have found someone who understood my family’s needs. He consulted with me right away and guided me through this tough process.
Don’t wait another day. Have Ahmed help you organize your final wishes and spare your loved ones the difficult task of sorting it all out.”
