Our Story

# Making Islamic inheritance accessible for every Indian family

Wasiyat was born from a simple observation: too many Muslim families in India struggle to implement Shariah-compliant estate planning. The rules are complex, the calculations are intricate, and professional guidance is scarce. We set out to change that.

## Our Mission

Islamic inheritance law (Ilm al-Faraid) is one of the most precisely defined areas of Shariah. The Quran dedicates specific verses to inheritance shares, and centuries of scholarly work have refined the rules for every conceivable family configuration.

Yet in India, where over 200 million Muslims reside, access to accurate inheritance planning remains limited. Many families rely on informal arrangements that can lead to disputes, or general-purpose tools that do not account for the nuances of Islamic law.

Wasiyat bridges this gap by combining deep Fiqh knowledge with modern technology. Our platform handles the mathematical complexity of Faraid calculations while providing clear, actionable guidance that any family can follow.
