Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

As we enter the blessed month of Ramadan, we are asking our mosques and community members to remain alert over the coming days as a precaution.

🔹 Please ensure entry points are monitored during peak times
🔹 Report anything suspicious immediately (111 emergencies / 105 non-emergencies)
🔹 Avoid spreading rumours – refer concerns directly to Police

We are liaising closely with NZ Police and FIANZ to ensure awareness and preparedness across our centres.

For any urgent queries, please contact Br Atef Khan - 021 381 885.

May Allah SWT keep our community safe and protected.

🇵🇸 EMERGENCY GAZA APPEAL – PARTNERING WITH UNICEF 🇵🇸

🇵🇸 EMERGENCY GAZA APPEAL – PARTNERING WITH UNICEF 🇵🇸

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached catastrophic levels. UN-backed experts have confirmed famine in Gaza Governorate, including Gaza City, with more than half a million people facing life-threatening hunger. Thousands of children are now at risk of starvation.

The Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ) is working in partnership with UNICEF to deliver urgently needed therapeutic food for malnourished children.

*Every dollar you donate will be matched by FIANZ up to $25,000, effectively doubling your contribution.* This means that a donation of $50 will provide $100 worth of life-saving aid. Together, we can raise $50,000 to provide critical treatment for 500 children in Gaza.

*Donate here:* children-of-gaza-crisis.unicef.org.nz/fianz-for-gaza-stand-with-us-stay-with-them

May Allah SWT accept your generosity and ease the suffering of the people of Gaza.
