Asalamu Alaykum wa rahma tullahi wabarakaatuhu
My dearest brothers and sisters in Islam. As we enter the last 10 days of Ramadan, I make sincere dua that Allah grant you all health and strength to complete your Ibadah in way that will Please Him and that you gain the generous rewards as promised and all your duas are accepted, Aameen.
Keep in mind the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said that, this is the best Dua to make on Laylatul Qadr:
"Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee"
(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi)
"O Allah, You are The One Who pardons greatly, and You love to pardon, so pardon me."
So make sure you read this dua all the time and as much as you can. Make it one of your daily athkaar.
As you would have seen from our emails and posts, the demand for our services has reached new records. Alhamdullilah at NZF, though we are extremely happy about serving more and more of our community, we are also concerned at the same time that we may not be able to cope and support the demand.
In just the first 15 days of Ramadan this year, we spent $121,172 in Zakat to assist those in need. That is 84% more than last year.

So this is where you play your part, by continuing to support us.
Last year, we had developed a simple method for you to benefit from paying small amounts of sadaqah each night in the last 10 nights, so you can 'catch' the reward of it being multiplied by more than 83 years!
➡️ Many of you took advantage of this and signed up to 10 automatic donations in the last 10 nights. You can do the same this year too by clicking here.
As the rewards are so great in these last 10 nights, don’t miss out.
➡️ If you haven’t paid your Zakat yet, calculate and pay here.
With that, I leave you with one last request while we are all searching for Laylat-ul-Qadr in these special nights - please take a moment to make a dua for us at the NZF team, for Allah to keep us sincere.
