HEALTH CARE PROXY AND LIVING WILL
If the time comes when I am incapacitated and 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.
I,
________________________________________________________________________________________
hereby appoint the following individual as my health care agent.
Name:
____________________________________Phone#________________________________
Address:
________________________________________________________________________________________________
This health care proxy shall take effect if and when I become unable to make my own health care decisions. In respect
of each decision made for me by my agent, it is my wish and direction that my agent be guided solely by Islamic
Shariah 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 conducted or
withheld from me if to do so 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 in a judicious manner and its use discontinued, just like any other
medicine, if it becomes reasonably apparent that it has no curative value. The “life support systems” include but are
not limited to artificial respiration, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, artificial means of providing nutrition and
hydration, and any pharmaceutical drugs. I direct that my family, all physicians, hospitals and other health care
providers and any court or judge honor the decision of my agent/alternate agent. This request is made, after careful
reflection, while I am of sound mind.
