HEALTH CARE PROXY AND LIVING WILL
OF
I, ____________________________________, residing at _____________________________, City
_________________________, County _________________________, in the State of
_________________________, being of sound mind and memory do hereby revoke any and all Health Care
Proxy and Living Will and declare this to be my Last Health Care Proxy and Living Will.
If the time comes when I am incapacitated to the point where I can no longer actively take part in decisions for
my own life and am unable to direct my physician as to my own medical care, I wish this statement to stand as a
testament of my wishes. This Health Care Proxy and Living Will shall take effect if and when I become unable
to make my own health care decisions
I ask my relatives and friends, whether they believe as I believe or not, to honor my right to these beliefs. I ask
them to honor this document and not to obstruct it or change it in any way. Rather, let them see that my wishes
are executed as I express in this document.
Article I. EXECUTOR
I hereby nominate and appoint _________________________________________________ to be the executor
of my Health Care Proxy and Living Will. In the event that _________________________ predeceases me or
shall be unable or unwilling to act as executor of this Will, I nominate and appoint
_________________________________________________ to act as executor of this Will. I direct that no
bond or surety for any bond be required for executor of this will in performance of his or her duties. The
executor of my Health Care Proxy and Living Will shall hereafter be referred to as my agent
Article II. MEDICAL CARE
In respect of each decision made for me by my agent, it is my wish and direction that my agent be guided solely
by my agent’s Islamic faith as to what my own decision would have been in the same circumstances. Without
limiting the unrestricted scope of my agent’s authority hereunder, I expressly authorize my agent to direct that
no treatment be withheld from me unless such a treatment is against the teachings of Islam, to the best of
understanding of my agent. I direct that medication be judiciously administered to me to alleviate pain. I do
not intend any direct taking of my life. I also direct that “life support systems’ may be used, only when
medically necessary, in a judicious manner, and its use discontinued, at the discretion of my agent when it is
apparent that there are no chances of survival and/or when there is no brain activity as detected by standard
medical procedure. The “life support systems” include but are not limited to artificial respiration,
cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and artificial means of providing nutrition and hydration and any pharmaceutical
drugs.
I direct that my family, physicians, hospitals and other health care providers and any court or judge honor the
decision of my agent. This request is made, after careful reflection, while I am of sound mind.

the Islamic Law in resolving the dispute. If _________________________ predeceases me or is unable or
unwilling, I nominate and appoint _________________________________________________ as the
arbitrator. If ____________________________ also predeceases me or is unable or unwilling, I nominate and
appoint the Imam or a person authorized by the Islamic organization _________________________ located at
_________________________ as the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding on all the
disputed parties.
