It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The one who is deprived is the one who is deprived of a will".
Having a valid and up-to-date will also helps ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes, rather than being subject to the laws of inheritance in Islam or other legal systems which may not reflect what you would want for yourself or your family members. By creating a valid and updated will, we can make sure our loved ones receive what we intended them to receive when we pass away.
