Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Dear donors

My name is Zeenath Ramzan Shaikh, and I am currently pursuing my second year of MBA at Rizvi Institute of Management Studies & Research, Mumbai. I am writing this appeal with humility and hope, seeking support from the generous Muslim community to help me complete my education and support my ailing mother.

I lost my father, who was the only earning member of our family. His passing left us not only emotionally shattered but also in severe financial hardship. Since then, my mother, despite suffering from ill health, has been struggling to support our household and my education with whatever little she can earn. I have no other source of income or financial backing.

The total college fees for the academic year 2025–2026 is ₹2,07,000. With great difficulty, we have managed to pay ₹85,000, but a balance of ₹1,22,000 is still pending. This amount is beyond our means, and without timely payment, my education is at serious risk of being discontinued.

Education is my only path to becoming financially independent and supporting my mother with dignity. I have worked hard to reach this stage, and my dream is to complete my MBA and secure a stable job so that I can lift my family out of hardship.

I humbly request the respected donors of IndiaZakat and the Muslim community to please consider my situation and extend your helping hand. Your Zakat, Sadaqah, or Lillah can help an orphan student continue her studies and ease the burden of a struggling mother.

May Allah (SWT) reward you abundantly for your generosity and grant barakah in your wealth. Your support can change our lives.

JazakAllahu Khairan.
