Amina’s Story

Amina’s family of four faced a crisis. After her husband’s two open-heart surgeries left him unable to work, their daughter was diagnosed with kidney failure. Amina juggled caregiving and mounting bills, and things worsened when they lost their home and had to move.

When Amina reached out to NZF, she had nothing left to feed her family. Because of your belief in local giving, Amina and her family received the food support they needed to protect their well-being.
Your local giving changes lives.

Who Were the ANSAAR

The Ansaar (Supporters) were the inhabitants of Madinah who welcomed and supported the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the Muhajirun (emigrants from Makkah). Their selflessness, generosity, and strong sense of community were instrumental in the establishment and spread of Islam.

Allah praises them in the Qur'an: "As for the foremost—the first of the Emigrants and the Supporters—and those who follow them in goodness, Allah is pleased with them and they are pleased with Him." (9:100)

The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said to the Ansaar: "You are dearest to me amongst people." (Muslim)

Let us strive to be like the Ansaar, always ready to extend a helping hand, foster community, and work together for the common good, seeking the pleasure of Allah in all that we do.
