Assalamu Alaykum Friend,

Eid Mubarak from the NZF team and I. Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum - May Allah accept from you and us.

SubhaanAllah, we've just passed through the blessed days of Dhul Hijjah. Once again, this year has been a challenging for all of us as I know many who wish they could experience the beauty of Hajj, while I am usually on Hajj during this time of the year as well. Even though this was such a sad time for many of us, my hope for you and I is that we can give ourselves the time to appreciate and be deeply grateful to Allah SWT for the endless list of beautiful blessings in our lives.

I hope that we continue to make an effort together to keep all our brothers and sisters in our du'as, and help one another in times of hardship and ease. I ask Allah to have Mercy and grant ease to our brothers and sisters everywhere, SubhaanAllah. May Allah strengthen them, come to their aid and that of the ummah at large.

I pray that you have a great day, and that you get the opportunity to enjoy it with your community and family. To my brothers and sisters who are still under lockdown, I pray that you enjoy this day the best you can, and remember that Allah SWT is with the patient. JazakAllah khairan for your support and I look forward to sharing updates soon on how NZF's work is progressing, insha Allah. May Allah bless you and your families.

Your brother in Islam,
Abu Muneer
