  The Prophet ﷺ said:

  “It is not permissible for any Muslim who has something to will to stay for two nights without having his Last Will and Testament written and kept ready with him.”

  As a medical professional, you spend your life caring for others — but many physicians delay putting a clear plan in place for their own families.

  Between incorporated practices, real estate, investments, and complex family responsibilities, estate planning is not always straightforward. Without proper structuring, even well-intentioned plans can lead to delays, unnecessary taxes, and outcomes that may not align with Islamic principles.

  This session is designed specifically for Muslim physicians in Canada to help you put a clear, compliant, and practical plan in place — without overcomplicating the process.

  
  

  What we’ll cover:

  • How to create an Islamic Will - Step by Step Guide (Will Kits will be provided free of charge)
  • What happens to incorporated assets, real estate, and investments without a will
  • The key differences between a Will, Power of Attorney, and Personal Directive — and why physicians need all three
  • Common estate planning mistakes we see among high-income professionals
  • How to ensure your estate is distributed correctly, efficiently, and in line with Islamic principles
  • Introduction to ClearEstate: simplifying estate planning and settlement
  • Live Q&A

  Presenters:

  • Hash Assad: Executive Financial Consultant, Assad Wealth Management
  • Shaykh Navaid Aziz: Imam and Educator
