Find Peace of Mind in Your Islamic Inheritance Duties
When a loved one passes, the question of “what comes next” can feel overwhelming. You want to honor their wishes and ensure everyone is treated fairly. This isn’t just about money; it’s about fulfilling a duty. Our tool is here to lift that weight. It translates the timeless rules from the Quran into a clear, step-by-step plan for your unique family. Let’s navigate this together, with confidence.
How It Works: Your 4-Step Path to Clarity
You don’t need to be a scholar. You just need to know your family.
1. Who has passed away?
We start with their name and whether they were male or female. This helps the tool understand which set of divine rules to follow.
2. What are we actually dividing?
- First, add up everything of value: savings, home, car, investments. Put that total in as Assets.
- Now, let’s be honest. Subtract what they owed—Outstanding Debts and the cost of the Funeral. What’s left is the true Net Estate. This is the amount that Islam says must be divided according to Allah’s command.
3. Who is left behind?
This is the heart of it. Click ‘Add Family Member’ for every single living relative. Tell us their name and how they were related (e.g., Husband, Daughter, Father, Sister). Don’t stress over who “counts” or not—we’ll figure that part out.
4. Get Your Answer, Straight from the Quran
Click calculate. Within seconds, you’ll have a detailed report. It names each person, their God-given share, and the exact verse from the Quran that ensures their right. It’s yours to download, print, and share.
Why This Feels Different: We Built What We Needed
We made this for our parents, our siblings, and our friends. We made it for you.
- It’s Faithful, Not Just Functional: Every number is pulled directly from the Quran—Surah An-Nisa, verses 11, 12, and 176. It respects the Prophet’s (PBUH) own words in Sahih Bukhari to learn and teach this knowledge. This is our deen in action.
- It Knows the Rules So You Don’t Have To: Islamic inheritance has intricate rules where an uncle might be excluded by a son, or a sister by a grandfather. Our tool knows these rules inside and out. You just list the family; we handle the complex calculations.
- It Starts with Integrity: Islam demands we pay our debts before our gifts. Our calculator makes you subtract loans and funeral costs first, because starting with a honest number is the only way to begin.
- It Shows Its Work: We don’t just give you a number. We show you the Quranic verse right next to it. You leave not just with an answer, but with understanding.
- Your Secrets Stay with You: This was non-negotiable for us. Your family list and financial details are your business. The calculation happens instantly on your own device. We never see it, save it, or store it. This is a trust we will never break.
The Rules We Follow (It's All From Here)
We are merely the translators. The entire system is built on these unwavering verses from Surah An-Nisa:
- From Ayah 11: “يُوصِيكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَوْلَادِكُمْ ۖ لِلذَّكَرِ مِثْلُ حَظِّ الْأُنثَيَيْنِ”
“Allah instructs you concerning your children: for the male, what is equal to the share of two females.” - From Ayah 12: “وَلَكُمْ نِصْفُ مَا تَرَكَ أَزْوَاجُكُمْ إِن لَّمْ يَكُن لَّهُنَّ وَلَدٌ”
“And for you is half of what your wives leave if they have no child.” - From Ayah 176: “يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلَالَةِ”
“They request from you a ruling. Say, Allah gives you a ruling concerning one who leaves neither descendants nor ascendants…” - The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) urged us: “تعلموا الفرائض وعلموها الناس”
“Learn the laws of inheritance and teach them to the people.” (Sahih Bukhari)
We’re trying to help you do exactly that.
Questions People Ask (No Sugarcoating)
No. This gives you the true Islamic breakdown, which is your most important first step. To make it official for a bank or government, you’d take this report to an Islamic court or a lawyer to write it up into a legally binding document.
It’s the opposite. It’s about integrity. Settling debts is a solemn duty on the wealth itself. The inheritance is what remains after every obligation is cleared. This ensures you start with a clean slate and a clear conscience.
You don’t have to trust us—you can trust the technology. We built it so that your information never even reaches us. It stays on your computer or phone the entire time. We have no database of your family. Your privacy is sealed.
It’s built for most real-life families. If you have a very rare situation with many distant cousins, it will give you a powerful head start. We always say: use this to get 95% of the way there, then bring the report to a trusted scholar for that final blessing.
Good for you! Use this tool as your learning partner. See which verses pop up for different families. The next time you hear a khutbah about Surah An-Nisa, you’ll listen with new ears. That’s how this half of knowledge grows.
Don't Let Uncertainty Divide Your Family
The best time to sort this out is now. Avoid doubt, prevent misunderstandings, and honor your loved one by following the divine plan. Get the clarity you need to move forward together.
