Vasiyat (will) is from the root “ v-s-y” which means connection. Also it means promise, because a person who wills promise to give his things to another person or to do something. God in Quran talks about Ibrahim’s will and Yaqub’s will to their children which was accepting Unity of God ( ۲: ۱۳۲-۱۳۳) and in some verses God orders human beings to will their possessions to father, mother and other relatives properly; also He says acting according to a will is obligatory and making a change in it is a sin.(۲: ۱۸۰-۱۸۲) In Islamic teachings, it is advised to prepare a will.[i] [i] Hur ‘Amili, ۱۳/۳۵۲, ۳۵۷
