THE DIVINE COMMAND
﴿ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا تَدَايَنتُم بِدَيْنٍ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى فَاكْتُبُوهُ ﴾
“O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term, write it down.”
— Surah Al-Baqarah — 2:282 (the longest verse in the Quran)
Allah dedicated the longest verse in the entire Quran to this single instruction — write your debts down. This is not a suggestion. It is a clear, direct command to every believer. The scholars of Islam agree that writing debts is an obligation when the amount is significant, to protect both parties from dispute, forgetfulness, or injustice.
WHY IT MATTERS
The Prophet ﷺ warned us. Unrecorded debts are a source of dispute, broken relationships, and burdens that can follow us beyond this life.
When a debt is not written down, memories differ. People forget amounts, dates, and terms — leading to conflict that damages friendships and family bonds.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "The soul of a believer is held hostage by his debt until it is paid off." An unrecorded debt may never reach the rightful person's heirs.
Without a record, the person owed may never collect what is rightfully theirs. And the borrower may never remember to repay. Writing protects both sides.
HADITH OF THE PROPHET ﷺ
"It is not permissible for a Muslim who has something to bequeath, to pass two nights without having his written will with him." — Sahih al-Bukhari & Muslim
— Sahih al-Bukhari 2738 · Sahih Muslim 1627
﴿ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تُؤَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَىٰ أَهْلِهَا ﴾
“Indeed, Allah commands you to render trusts to their rightful owners.”
— Surah An-Nisa — 4:58
Every debt is a trust (amanah). Rendering it back to its owner — or ensuring your heirs know about it — is an act of worship. Waseyya exists to make this obligation easy to fulfil.
THE FEATURES
Every part of Waseyya is designed to help you fulfil what Allah commanded in Al-Baqarah 2:282.
