If you were in hospital tomorrow, would your family know who to call, what you owe, and where your papers are? The Amanah File keeps it all in one place.

A 35-page Muslim family emergency binder. Type into it on screen, or print it and use a pen. Instant PDF in A4 and US Letter.

What's inside

Start here. The one page your family reads first: who to call, what a doctor must know, where the papers are, and what to do first.

About me. Personal details, family, identity papers (last four digits only), and the people to call.

Health. Conditions, medicines, care wishes, your organ donation decision, and a hospital bag list for a Muslim patient.

Money. Bank accounts, savings, gold and jewellery with whose each piece is, insurance and takaful, property, vehicles, and bills to stop.

What is owed. Money you owe, money owed to you with collect or forgive, amanah you hold for others, and duties still open: zakat, fasts to make up, vows, Hajj.

Digital life. Phone, email, password manager and online accounts, with your wish for each. It never asks for a password.

Home. Keys, shut-offs, trusted help, people who work for you, and regular sadaqah.

Children. Daily care for each child, and who you would want to raise them.

Janazah. Your wishes, and a checklist for your family's first weeks, with page numbers.

Wasiyyah. Where it is, who drafted it, your executor, notes for your scholar or lawyer, and a page for forgiveness.

Letters. A letter to your family and a letter to your children.

Documents. Where every important paper is kept.

Keeping it current. A list for before Hajj, Umrah or a long journey, a yearly review log, and notes.

A spare cover that is light on ink.

How to use

1. Download both sizes. Open the one that matches your paper in the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

2. Type into the lines, or print single-sided and use a pen. Fill what you know tonight and leave the rest.

3. Tell two people where the file is. Review it once a year, and before Hajj or Umrah.

Who it is for

Any Muslim adult who runs a household.

Someone preparing for Hajj or Umrah, an operation, a new baby, or a move abroad.

Grown children who want to sit with their parents and fill it in together.

Who it is not for

It is not a will, a fatwa, or legal or financial advice. It does not work out inheritance shares. It is the record you keep beside your wasiyyah, not instead of it.

Privacy

It never asks for a password, PIN, card number or wallet phrase. It asks where they are kept. A filled copy holds private details, so keep it off shared computers and do not send it by email.

How you get the files

Pay once. Both PDFs download straight away. Nothing is posted in the mail. Personal use for your own household. Do not resell or share the files.

Note

Amanah Desk is not a scholar or a lawyer. Islamic inheritance shares are fixed, and a wasiyyah has to be valid where you live. Have yours drafted by someone qualified.
