About Wasiyyah Law Firm

Alex Ranjha JD MBA is a Real Estate & Estate Planning Attorney for Muslims throughout the state of Illinois.

For years, Illinois Muslims have struggled to find an attorney who understands both:
(1) Our legal system and (2) Our Islamic inheritance obligations.

Alex brings both worlds together.
He uses the Qur’anic inheritance formulas, Illinois estate law, and modern planning tools to help Muslim families:

• Create Sharia-compliant wills (wasiyyah)

• Build Islamic trusts

• Protect their children, spouses & parents

• Plan inheritance for blended or divorced families

• Include charitable giving within the 1/3 wasiyyah limit

Clients describe the process as “simple, respectful, and empowering.”
And yes — everything is done with complete confidentiality.

A message from Alex

I am committed to helping my clients get the best representation possible. I represent home buyers and sellers in their real estate transactions from negotiations all the way up to the closing and beyond.

I have a passion for helping people. For many, buying a home will be one of the most expensive purchases in their lifetime and consequently can be very stressful. My job is to ease that stress and facilitate the transaction in the most meticulous yet efficient manner possible.

I am passionate about what I do. I love my job and I love helping people. I am all about exceptional communication and often find myself answering or returning phone calls at all times of the day/night. I may not get much sleep, but one thing is for sure: my clients are happy. And that in turn makes me happy.
