This partnership gives Muslim American families access to Shari’a-compliant wills and trusts, with charitable bequests built into the process.

Hasbrouck Heights, United States, July 31, 2026 -- Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey July 31, 2026

Shariawiz, the award-winning Islamic online estate planning platform, today announced a strategic partnership with Human Development Fund (HDF) a leading not for profit delivering humanitarian aid and development programs to communities in need across the globe. The partnership will advance HDF’s charitable mission to educate Muslim Americans about estate planning, the lasting impact of planned giving, and charitable bequests.

This initiative helps supporters carry their charitable giving into their estate plans, so HDF’s relief and development programs continue past a single lifetime. Through educational programs, webinars, and estate planning resources, the partnership will increase awareness of how wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, and other planned giving strategies can provide meaningful support for charitable causes.

Planned gifts, including charitable bequests, beneficiary designations, charitable trusts, and other legacy gifts, allow individuals and families to make a lasting difference while preserving flexibility during their lifetime. Despite their significant impact, planned giving remains one of the most underutilized forms of philanthropy in the Muslim American community.

"Our supporters have dedicated themselves to our mission throughout their lives," said Shaykh Abdirahman Kariya, CEO of HDF. "This partnership provides them with an accessible and trusted estate planning platform to make Islamic wills and Islamic trusts to protect their families, leave charitable legacies, and fulfill their faith."

Shariawiz, recognized internationally for its innovative Sharia-compliant estate planning technology, provides individuals with a secure platform developed by estate planning attorneys and reviewed by Muslim scholars to prepare legally valid and state-specific estate planning documents while making charitable giving an integral part of the planning process. The platform has received international recognition, including being named the Best Islamic Finance Technology Solutions Provider by the Global Islamic Finance Awards.

"We are honored to partner with HDF to help individuals transform their values into a lasting legacy," said Abed Awad, Founder and CEO of Shariawiz. "A charitable bequest is often one of the most significant gifts a person can make. By educating supporters about planned giving, we empower them to care for their loved ones while strengthening the organizations and causes they believe in. Muslims have a Divine Directive to be charitable, and our tradition provides us with the ability to dedicate up to 1/3 of our estate to charitable causes fi Sabeel Allah. This charitable bequest tradition sustained our institutions for 1400 years. We need to sustain our institutions and help them grow in America through legacy giving."

As part of the collaboration, supporters will have access to educational materials explaining:

The benefits of including charitable bequests in a will or trust.

How beneficiary designations can support charitable organizations.

Tax-efficient charitable planning strategies.

The role of estate planning in preserving family values and philanthropic goals.

Opportunities to create enduring charitable legacies through planned giving.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to increasing financial literacy around estate planning and ensuring that charitable organizations can continue serving their communities through sustainable legacy support.
