During this period, the team in New Zealand continued its efforts in outreach, education, and community development through both grassroots and institutional engagement.
A total of 120 individuals were introduced to Islam through various forms of da’wah outreach. Two people embraced Islam and took their shahadah during the week, marking moments of spiritual transformation within the community.
Educational initiatives remained strong, with six Islam 101 classes conducted to provide foundational learning about Islam. Two individuals received dedicated support as new Muslims, while one da’wah training session and one public speaking session were also held to strengthen the skills and confidence of volunteers and speakers.
Two stakeholder meetings took place during the week, helping to strengthen partnerships and coordination for ongoing and future initiatives.
