[ARCHIVE] March Update

“If it happens that Allah with His mercy lets me enter with the Prophet (peace be upon him) into Paradise, I will immediately request in that place – where no request is to be refused or denied – to meet you by name and your staff at NZF insha’Allah. I cannot deny that your support has made a significant change in my life during this time of crisis, and I am very grateful for that. I hope insha’Allah that if I am alive and well and get my status in this country, I will return this £400 and if I am well enough, 10 times more.” Salma Rashid, NZF Case Number 840

Muslim prisoners reach record high

More than a quarter of London’s prison population are Muslims, as recently reported by the London Evening Standard. The worrying figure demonsrates the urgent need for targeted initiatives which aim to reduce the number of Muslim prisoners. Our groundbreaking new Date Palm Project aims to do just that by providing specialist housing support to young prison leavers so they can finally break free from the cycle of re-offending.
