Your Zakat Donation Gave the Gift of Sight to Shehnaz Riaz in Ramadan 2023
“My name is Shehnaz Riaz and I live in New Karachi area. I have been dealing with vision problems. Although one of my one eye underwent surgery earlier, my resources were limited for the operation on the second eye. Al-Wahab Foundation has facilitated me through free eye cataract surgery. On the surgery day, Al-Wahab Foundation arranged transportation for patients like me. Their dedication extended to ensuring we were well-fed with nutritious meals during this period. I express deep gratitude and pray for blessings from Allah for Al-Wahab Foundation team and Mufti Abdul Wahab.”
