Crescent Chronicles #1

Newsletter where we share any events, new halal spots or interesting information for Muslims in NZ

As Salam Alaikum👋 

This is Crescent Chronicles, the newsletter that’s all about keeping you in the know! Brought to you by the team at Kiwi Muslim Directory.

We previously used to write this letter called Kiwi Muslim Community Link and unfortunately had to stop due to a lack of resources. Alhumdullilah, we are reviving this again as Crescent Chronicles and request your support to keep this going inshallah! 🙏

Every other week we write this email where we share any events, new halal spots or interesting information for Muslims in NZ.

If we have missed something please let us know!

Let’s explore!
