National President, Hafizud Dean Khan is also requesting all Fijians to join them in praying for all the families and friends in New Zealand who have suffered through this senseless act of terrorism.

Khan says their thoughts and prayers are with all the members of the Muslim community in NZ.

We are overwhelmed with all the messages we have received and receiving from our fellow New Zealanders. Thank you very much for all your thoughts, prayers and kindness. It's darkest day for all of us, Kiwis.... https://t.co/qxhT32Prv0
