Where Nur Falah leads
None of the five competitors treat estate planning as a living, multi-person, collaboratively-administered system. All five are single-user "fill in a form, get a PDF" products — a static document written once and hoped to be found later. Nur Falah's differentiators:
- Family-shared accounts with real RBAC (owner/agent/member, enforced via RLS) — every competitor is one account, one estate.
- A trigger mechanism that actually does something — dual-attestor confirmation, per-member death triggers, and automated heir email notification. Competitors stop at "here's your will PDF"; none automate what happens after death.
- A live mutawalli dashboard — ongoing administration, not a one-time document.
- Coverage %, genealogy tree, insurance/liabilities, asset verification — this granularity does not exist anywhere else in the set.
Gaps — status
- Legally-filable Will output — partially closed. Wassiyah tab now generates a formatted, statutory-style DRAFT will document (declaration/revocation, executor appointment, bequest schedule, witness attestation blocks) via a print-to-PDF flow, clearly watermarked "DRAFT — NOT EXECUTED." This is a real time-saver for a lawyer to review and finalize, not a claim that the app produces a legally executed document — that still requires physical signing, witnessing, and jurisdiction-specific legal review. A fully legally-valid, notarized/filed output remains out of scope.
- Zakat calculator — closed. New per-member Zakat tab: Nisab check + 2.5% on cash, gold, silver, business assets, and investments, minus deductible liabilities.
- Single madhab assumption — partially closed. Faraid calculator now has a madhab selector (Shafi'i/Hanafi/Maliki/Hanbali) encoding the one well-documented divergence this engine's rules actually touch — whether radd (return of residue) extends to a sole-heir spouse. Ja'fari (Shia) is deliberately gated as unsupported rather than silently computed with Sunni rules, since it uses a structurally different classification system, not a parameter tweak.
- Human-in-the-loop / professional tier — closed, as a review-request workflow. Not a marketplace or payment integration (out of scope) — a structured status on each member's Wassiyah (Not reviewed → Review requested → Reviewed, with reviewer name recorded), surfaced on the Mutawalli dashboard so nothing quietly ships as final without the legally-required review being flagged. Pairs with a new whole-app jurisdiction setting (Malaysia/Singapore/UK, owner-configurable in Settings) that drives jurisdiction-specific legal notes in both the Wassiyah tab and the generated draft will document (Wills Act 1959/state Syariah for Malaysia, Wills Act 1838 + AMLA for Singapore, Wills Act 1837 for the UK) and Zakat currency/Nisab defaults.
- AI guidance layer — closed. Coverage Dashboard now surfaces a rule-based recommendations list (exposed assets, missing Wassiyah, unverified assets, unlinked liabilities, no insurance logged, no Zakat set up, insufficient attestors, no agent assigned, no Waqf configured) — every recommendation traces to a concrete fact already in the app's data, not a generated guess.
