Building fund appeal
Donate from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain or Oman
Many Muslims in the Gulf support the building of masjids around the world as Sadaqah Jariyah. For six years Aman Islamic Trust has served Wellington, New Zealand from rented rooms. We are raising NZ$1.5 million to buy a permanent masjid and Islamic centre for a growing minority community, and your support would help us establish it, in sha Allah.

Why a masjid in Wellington needs your help
Our Sunday lectures, Quran classes, youth programmes, Ramadan iftars and Eid prayers all happen in rented rooms that are often full to the walls. A permanent home would give Muslims in New Zealand's capital a lasting place for the five daily prayers and for the next generation. Every gift, large or small, goes to the building fund.
Time difference
New Zealand is 8 to 9 hours ahead of the UAE and Oman, and 9 to 10 hours ahead of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain. If you call us, please allow for this, or simply email admin@amanislamictrust.com.

International transfers usually arrive within one to four business days.
Will I get a receipt?
Yes. Online gifts get an emailed receipt straight away. For bank transfers, include the reference BUILD and your name, and email us so we can send your receipt.
