Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, Dear donors

My name is Aaisha Shaikh, and I am currently pursuing my second year of B.Sc. at Ratnam College of Commerce, Science & Arts. I am writing this appeal with humility and hope, seeking the support of my Muslim brothers and sisters to continue my education.

I come from a small and struggling family of three, my mother, my younger sister Sana Shaikh, and myself. Due to my mother’s serious brain-related health condition, my parents were forced to separate. Since then, my father has not been able to support us, leaving my mother to carry the responsibility of our household despite her illness.

With Allah’s help and the generous support of IndiaZakat donors, I was able to complete my previous studies. I remain deeply grateful to every donor who helped me reach this stage. Your kindness has already changed my life once.

For the academic year 2025–2026, my total college fee is ₹35,813. I have managed to pay ₹5,000, but a balance of ₹30,813 is still pending. Given our current financial condition and my mother’s health expenses, arranging this amount is extremely difficult for us.

Despite these challenges, I have always remained committed to my education. driven by determination and faith in Allah. Education is my only path to building a stable future and supporting my family with dignity.

Today, I once again turn to the kindness of the Muslim community. Your Zakat, Sadaqah, or Lillah can help me continue my B.Sc. education and move closer to a life of self-reliance.

I sincerely pray that Allah rewards you for every rupee you give and accepts it as a means of ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah). Your support will not only help me complete my education but also restore hope to a family that is struggling to survive.

JazakAllahu Khairan
