Dear Brothers and Sisters

Assalaam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatahu

I pray to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala) that you all are in the best of health and progressing well in the path of Taqwa.

The Federation has launched a fundraising appeal to raise money to assist in the humanitarian relief effort for the people gravely affected by the on-going domestic civil war crisis in Libya. The Federation requests all to donate generously. Appropriate announcement/request should be made at Masajid and Islamic Centres, particularly during Jumah. Donations are to be directed to FIANZ's Appeal Account as detailed hereunder:

Account Number:  020 500 - 0737236 - 06
Name of Account:  FIANZ Appeal Account
Name of Bank:   Bank of New Zealand

Local Associations should coordinate the fund raising at regional level and deposit the money raised into the abovementioned account. Regional Associations and individual community donor are kindly reminded to state clearly that they are donating for "Libyan Relief Fund" when depositing the money in the FIANZ Appeal Account.

I look forward to your usual support for this very deserving humanitarian cause. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala reward you all for your charitable acts.

Jazak Allah Khair and Wassalaam
