Why people look for a MyAmana alternative
- Scholar/lawyer reviewers are not publicly named - and the claim is undermined by the platform's own pitch deck having no team slide
- The homepage's 'Trusted by 1000+ Canadian Muslim families' claim conflicts with its own investor deck, which lists 1,000 customers as a Year 1 target and traction as 'ready for customer acquisition'
- The $289 lawyer-consultation tier is advertised but marked 'coming soon' in code - not actually purchasable
- Calculator gaps in hard cases: awl displays over-subscribed, unadjusted shares and radd is not computed - exactly the estates that need care
- Early-stage rough edges: Lovable-built with placeholder domains, inconsistent branding, a support email on an unbuilt domain, and '2 years' vs '3-year' update-period contradictions
When MyAmana is still the right choice
- Inheritance calculator drives Faraid distribution
- 2 years of unlimited updates and storage
- Clear pricing with no subscription
Our verdict on MyAmana: Good value for will + POA with updates - ask MyAmana who reviewed the templates before you rely on the Sharia compliance claim.

How this ranking works
The pool is every provider with active wills & estate planning listings in Canada in HalalWallet's database (5 besides MyAmana). Providers our editors have written a direct comparison for appear first; the rest are ordered by live HalalWallet Index grade, then disclosed Shariah oversight (formal board or third-party certification ranks above a named scholar, which ranks above no public review), then Google rating. Nothing here is paid placement. See our methodology and how Index grades are computed.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to MyAmana?
Manzil ranks first among MyAmana alternatives for halal wills & estate planning with a HalalWallet Index grade of A, formal shariah board Shariah oversight, and coverage of all of Canada. Manzil publishes its Shariah certificates and is Canada's first AAOIFI member - stronger governance, similar pricing at the $99 tier. Wassiya and Basira Islamic Foundation follow. The right pick depends on your province, the contract structure you are comfortable with, and total cost, so get quotes from at least two.
Which MyAmana alternative is available in my province?
MyAmana itself is available across Canada. Manzil also operates across Canada. Wassiya lists 12 provinces; Basira Islamic Foundation lists 10 provinces; Lerners Estate lists 1 province; Shuter Law lists 1 province.
How do MyAmana's alternatives differ in approach?
MyAmana is listed as islamic will. Manzil, Wassiya, Basira Islamic Foundation and Lerners Estate take the same approach. The practical differences are whether the will is drafted by a lawyer or generated from a template, which madhhab options are supported for the inheritance shares, and whether the document is valid where you live. A will that is not executed to local formalities is not a will.
Which alternative has the strongest Shariah oversight?
Manzil (formal shariah board) discloses either a formal Shariah board or third-party certification. HalalWallet reports what each provider publishes; we do not certify products.
Should I switch from MyAmana?
Reasons readers look elsewhere: Scholar/lawyer reviewers are not publicly named - and the claim is undermined by the platform's own pitch deck having no team slide; The homepage's 'Trusted by 1000+ Canadian Muslim families' claim conflicts with its own investor deck, which lists 1,000 customers as a Year 1 target and traction as 'ready for customer acquisition'. Reasons to stay: Inheritance calculator drives Faraid distribution; 2 years of unlimited updates and storage. Switching mid-contract can trigger payoff terms and new closing costs, so compare the total cost of finishing with MyAmana against a new contract elsewhere, and check the early-payoff clause first.
How to use this comparison: Scholars rule; we organize the evidence. HalalWallet is an independent educational comparison platform - by design, we do not issue fatwas or provide financial, legal, or tax advice. We do the research homework so your final checks are quick and personal. Where our role ends and who takes over.
Product structures and Shariah oversight vary by provider, so finish with three built-in steps:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider - their quote is final.
- Review the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah, etc.) and any disclosed Shariah board opinions.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
