as-Salihin Trustee Berhad was incorporated on 23 October 2004 as a trust company under the Trust Companies Act 1949, positioning itself as one of the earliest firms in Malaysia built specifically for Shariah-compliant estate planning. Its head office is in Kelana Jaya, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. The company was founded by the late Tun Mohamed Salleh Abas, the former Lord President (Chief Justice) of Malaysia who was removed from office in the 1988 judicial crisis and who died in 2021 at age 91. He set up the firm after observing that many Muslim estates in Malaysia went unadministered for lack of proper planning. That founder pedigree is a central part of the firm's identity and credibility with Muslim clients.
The business is narrowly focused on Islamic estate planning and administration. Services span wasiat (Islamic will) writing, executorship and administration of both testate and intestate estates, Islamic trusts, hibah declarations (branded Pri-Hibah), takaful and insurance trust arrangements (Pri-TI), wakaf documentation, jointly-acquired-asset (harta sepencarian) agreements, and specialist products such as PRI-EMAS for seniors and Pri-Niaga for business owners. It also publishes a free Faraid calculator so users can estimate Shariah inheritance shares. Distribution runs through an agency force the company describes as more than 5,000 Islamic Estate Planners, and its estate-planning proposition is also offered through Bank Muamalat Malaysia as a co-branded service.
Leadership publicly identified includes President and Chief Executive Tuan Haji Abdul Aziz Peru Mohamed, with a separately constituted Board of Syariah Advisors overseeing Shariah compliance. Beyond that, the firm is opaque on the metrics that matter for ranking financial strength: it does not disclose ownership/shareholding structure, assets under trusteeship, revenue, the number of wasiat written, or the number of estates administered, and it does not publish a fee schedule. Those figures should be treated as not disclosed rather than estimated. What is verifiable is a two-decade operating history, a clear single-focus mandate on Muslim estate planning, and documented Shariah governance, which together make it a recognised name in this niche.
