For Islamic wills and probate, look no further than Mr. Zahur Chowdhry of Farani Taylor Solicitors. As the Head of Islamic Wills, he has been exceptional with his advice, knowledge, client care and understanding of what can otherwise be a complicated area. He has studied this area since a number of years, and that experience resonates in the sound professional advice he delivers. I found that his professionalism and high standards of service transcend across his team, and he is supported by bright young talent who are eager to follow his footsteps – for example Qudsia Hameed. As a client, it made a very comforting experience that I was in good capable hands. Please keep up the good work Mr. Chowdhry! Saad Khan

Mr Chowdhry from Farani Taylor Solicitors has been meticulous and thoroughly outstanding. I have received quality advice and service from start to finish. He is diligent, courteous, adept and extensively experienced. It was an honour to be able to liaise with such a proficient and analytical individual – a good timekeeper. Communication was flawless.

I used the Islamic Will service to put into place new Islamic Wills for both my parents. From our first contact with Mr. Zahur Chowdhry right to way through having the completed documents in our hands the process was professionally handled and managed. Zahur was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions that we had (and we had quite a few to be honest lol). We were offered a few options catered to what we were looking for and our needs. I cannot recommend Brother Zahur and his services enough. 10/10. May Allah SWT reward you and your team for your efforts in this sector. Faz
I was genuinely very pleased with the service provided by the Farani Solicitors- Estate Planning Islamic Wills department for writing the final Will & Testament for myself and my family. Our request for this urgent and crucial service so happened to coincide with the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. Amazingly, despite this, the firm demonstrated high-professionalism, prompt responses, and ultimately facilitated in managing and processing our Islamic Will with ease and on time. Also accommodating any concerns, we raised. The Will & Testament binding copy is written at a very high-standard and comprehensive consideration to meet the needs of each case through a written agreement that was composed at a relatively reasonable price. I would like to specifically thank Zahur Chowdhry (Head of Islamic Wills) and Qudsia Hameed (Paralegal) for making efforts to help us with this virtuous and praiseworthy service that is an obligation disregarded by mass people. Thus, I would highly recommend people to consider Farani Taylor’s Estate Planning Services. Mujahid Sardar
I found out about the will writing service through the East London Mosque website. I felt confident as Farani Taylor Solicitors were recommended by the mosque. Me and my wife arranged our initial meeting with Zahur Chowdhry who is the head of Islamic wills, he was very transparent and professional throughout. We felt very confident that we were being given sincere advice in such an important matter. By the end of the meeting we were fully confident that we were with the right solicitors to prepare our will according to the shariah. We were very impressed with his knowledge in this field and went ahead with engaging Zahur in preparing our Wills and estate planning immediately. I would first sincerely request every Muslim who has anything to bequest to not delay in making a Will and would definitely recommend Zahur Chowdhry at Farani Taylor Solicitors. Kashem Choudhury
As Muslims, it was important that my parents had Islamic Wills in place. However, with the vast array of firms providing conventional Wills, it became apparent that finding this bespoke service would be difficult. Fortunately, I was introduced to Farani Taylor Solicitors through The East London Mosque, who specialise in both. From the very first telephone conversation I had with Zahur, I was inclined towards this company. Throughout the experience, Zahur and his colleagues demonstrated a high degree of knowledge and professionalism. They explained the intricate details of the Wills with simplicity, answered our queries with patience and made us feel reassured that the documents would live up to our expectations. Ultimately, the Wills produced satisfied the requirements of my parents whilst adhering to Shari’ah (Islamic Law). I would highly recommend Farani Taylor Solicitors for Estate Planning and Islamic Wills. Yaseen
I was looking to get an Islamic Will completed and found the details for Farani Taylor Soicitors via the ELM website. I expected a very complicated process but Zahur made it surprisingly straight forward and explained everything in an easy and understandable manner.

Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of getting their will completed. One of our fards complete and peace of mind that our assets will be distributed in accordance with our Islamic faith.
