Ashrin Rifnath Fathima is a third-year English literature student at Wavoo Wajeeha Women's College in Kayalpatnam. She lost her father to a sudden heart attack and her mother is a housewife who is also unwell and unable to work. Ashrin's uncle only helps with their daily expenses.

In this difficult situation, Ashrin is unable to pay her college fees, which are ₹35,480 per year. She is requesting financial assistance from donors so that she can continue her studies. India Zakat has helped her so far up to her fourth semester, and she is currently in her fifth and sixth semesters. She has attached her third-semester mark sheet and is awaiting her fourth-semester results.

Ashrin thanks you for your generosity and prays that Allah SWT accepts your contributions in this world and in the hereafter. Ameen.

Hadith:

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The seeking of knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim." (Al-Tirmidhi)

This hadith teaches us that it is important for all Muslims to seek knowledge, regardless of their gender, social status, or financial situation. Knowledge is a powerful tool that can help us to improve our lives and the lives of others. It can also help us to understand our religion and to live our lives in accordance with the teachings of Islam.

By helping Ashrin to continue her education, you are not only helping her to improve her own life, but you are also helping her to fulfill a religious obligation. You are also helping to create a more knowledgeable and just society.
