Narrated by Abu Hurairah r.a that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: "O Abu Hurairah. Learn about the inheritance and teach it, for it is half of knowledge, but it will be forgotten. This is the first thing that will be taken away from my nation.

According to prophecies made for during the End of Times is that these first few verses on inheritance will be lifted and removed from the hearts of our people. Even for a hafiz who memorised it will be forgotten and they will not be able to utter it. Our people will fight and argue about the wealth left behind by their loved ones and perhaps some of us may even attempt to do the worst to gain those fortune which may not be ours. This perhaps will destroy the foundations of families to come.

Firstly we must understand that all the wealth in this universe belongs to Allah swt. Whatever we have now is a gift from Him which we are asked to be responsible for. Whatever that we earn needs to be gain lawfully ( Halal ) and its the same how we spend it. Similarly, we need to plan for it when we are no longer around so that it will not affect our family. 

What happens if you do not prepare for it?
- A house which you use to own may be taken away from your family leaving them shelterless
- Arguments about CPF and insurance payouts.
- Arguments about why the uncles get my dad's money? ( For family that do not have sons )
- Why are my children getting so little of your wealth? How can that be?
- We can list down more issues. 

Let's be frank, for each of the problems above, people have written essays about it and let's not even talk about the countless reports in the news. Some filmmakers have even been inspired by the stories which have been developed into films or dramas. 

Unlike civil inheritance, where one can will away 100% of their wealth to the person they chose. For Muslims it is different. Upon's one's demise, the wealth of the deceased has to go through the following steps.

First. To pay off the funeral expenses. ( Immediate )

Second. Settle all possible debt that the deceased have. Personal, family or business debts.

Third. Settle all debts to Allah swt. Payments for Fidyah ( if the deceased have missed the obligatory Fast ), Zakat obligations and Hajj Badal ( if deceased have not been to Hajj )

Fourth. Execute the will ( If exists ). Only one third of your wealth can be willed to Non Faraidh recipients. 

Fifth. Execute Faraidh.

What is Faraidh? 

Why is a Will important in Singapore's context?

What do we mean by willing away to Non Faraidh recipients?

They could be step children. They could be siblings that are non- Muslims and others.

I am sure at this point you have many questions in your mind.
