One of the mandatory and sometimes
recommended actions in Islam is writing a will –
where a person puts forth a legal document
expressing a number of purposes – how his or her
property is to be distributed, for socio-political
reasons, offering moral recommendations and advice
for others to heed, especially for the testator’s beloved
ones. Historically, religious leaders have left their
wills; Prophet Muhammad wrote his for his Ahlul

well-educated on Qur’anic instructions, also left a will
for generations to come. This article examines the
personal requests and counsel in her will, and offers
an analysis of the events that revolved around sociopolitical
issues.
