As Salam Alaikum

O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their

will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness,

that ye may Take away part of the dower ye

have given them,-except where they have been

guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with

them on a footing of kindness and equity. If

ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and Allah brings about through it a great

deal of good. Quran 4:19

Here is another scam

Police have become aware

that some people in New

Zealand have been phoned

from callers who fraudulently claim to be calling from Immigration New

Zealand.

These callers tell the person that there has been a problem with their

visa or arrival card information and demand that they pay money into a

Western Union account or face serious consequences, such as

deportation. These calls are not from Immigration New Zealand.

These calls seem to be targeting people from India. Often the caller has

some details of the person they are speaking to, such as the name, date

of birth and/or address. They may also quote reference numbers,

although these do not appear to match Immigration New Zealand client

or application numbers.

If you receive one of these calls, do not pay the money the caller has

demanded. We advise you to contact the New Zealand Police to report

the call.

(Family Violence Inter Agency Response System), Police and other community organisations, are working together to hold a pre-Christmas lunch for our vulnerable children and vulnerable victims. As Fatimah Foundation is part of the FVIARS group, we will be playing an active role at the Family Day Lunch for vulnerable children and vulnerable victims who are caught up or impacted by family violence. We are inviting 30 to 40 families from throughout the Counties Manukau East Policing area which includes Pakuranga, Howick, Beachlands, Otara, East Tamaki and Flatbush. For my part, I am reaching out to Muslim businesses and organisations like yours to join Fatimah Foundation and support the Family Day Lunch. All contributions of any size or quantity will be greatly appreciated. We hope of get sponsorship to fed 150+ people, however, I am asking of you to Sponsor only 5 vulnerable children and 5 vulnerable victims?
