because (reason)
なぜなら is used to indicate that an explanation for something follows. It is equivalent to the rhetorical 'why?' that is then followed by a reason for something.
なぜならそこあるから
Because it is there.
A very common pattern is to start a sentence with なぜなら and end it with だから or から (plus だ or です). This is similar to the English rhetorical question "Why? Because ..." For example:
なぜならそこあるから
Because it is there.
なぜなら
かれ
しょうたい
招待
した
からです
Because he invited me.
Alternative expressions with the same function include なぜならば, なぜかというと and どうしてかというと.
