Over $600,000 was raised for the Fianz Porchester Rd Project in Auckland last night.<\/p>\n
It was a night of miracle for the new Masjid and Dawah Centre project for Fianz during its fundraising dinner night in Auckland on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
More than five hundred people, men, women and children, attended the event in Mangere as over $600,000 was raised in approx 35 minutes of the pledge drive, which was successfully hosted by Radio Apna’s Breakfast Host Shaiyaz Mohammed, who emphasized that it is a project for national unity and 60 thousand Muslims of Auckland.<\/p>\n
The pledge drive started with $100,000 from an anonymous family, which was doubled within minutes by another family who kept their name secret.<\/p>\n
Men, women, children, the business community and new reverts generously supported the fundraising after a powerful speech on building a house of Allah swt by the Pesh Imaam of Avondale Islamic Centre Mufti Shakir Ismail for approximately 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
Fianz’s prominent personality, Dr Anwar Gani, welcomed the large crowd, followed by a beautiful nasheed from the Imaam of Porchester Islamic Centre, Hafiz Enamul Haq.<\/p>\n
Recently appointed General Manager of Fianz business, Imran Ali, also addressed the crowd and further explained the long-awaited project and the importance of community support.<\/p>\n
The project’s backbone, Umarji Mohammed, a prominent Auckland lawyer, thanked all the guests and people who generously donated.<\/p>\n
Dr Mustafa Farooq, who leads the Dawah department of Fianz, was also very excited and thanked all those who contributed tonight to an event that all will remember well.<\/p>\n
A lovely dinner was prepared and served to the crowd as the event was organized by the hard-working members of Human Care NZ and the Porchester Islamic Centre team led by Iftikaar Hakik and his group, who have tirelessly worked hard behind the scenes for the last several weeks.<\/p>\n
