A New Chapter in Anonymous Charity Giving: Embracing True Decentralization and Private Charity

As part of our ongoing mission at Islamic Donate Charity, we are thrilled to announce that we now accept donations through the Monero (XMR) network. This decision wasn’t random—it came at the heartfelt request of our crypto donors who value privacy, freedom, and direct impact. In a world increasingly dominated by surveillance and red tape, XMR shines as a beacon of decentralization and anonymous giving.
But why does this matter? Why did so many of our generous supporters ask for Monero specifically? And what makes decentralized and anonymous donations so important for an Islamic charity like ours?

Let’s dive deep together and answer these questions.

What Is Decentralization—and Why Should You Care?

Decentralization means that there’s no single authority or intermediary controlling your transactions. It’s the opposite of centralized systems—like traditional banks or government-regulated charities—where your identity, your funds, and even your intentions can be monitored, blocked, or restricted.

Monero (XMR), like Dai (DAI), is built for freedom. It offers a private and decentralized environment where your donation goes directly to us—without KYC requirements, without linking your wallet, and without exposing your identity.

When you donate using decentralized cryptocurrencies, you take control. No gatekeepers. No permissions needed. Just your intention and your sadaqah, reaching the people who need it most.

For us as an Islamic charity, this aligns beautifully with the values of sincerity and discretion in giving. As the Qur’an reminds us, charity done in secret purifies the soul. Through decentralized networks, we enable that purity—especially when helping the poor, the displaced, and those suffering in conflict zones.

Why Monero (XMR) Is the Best Tool for Anonymous Donations

Monero isn’t just another coin—it’s designed for privacy from the ground up. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, where transactions can be traced and identities inferred, XMR shields every part of the transaction: sender, receiver, and amount.

This makes Monero a powerful tool for those who want their giving to remain between themselves and Allah. It’s perfect for donors who:

  • Do not want to connect a wallet
  • Do not want to go through centralized platforms
  • Want full privacy and control
  • Believe that charity should not require personal disclosure

Your zakat, sadaqah, or qurban with Monero can be entirely anonymous, yet just as impactful. That’s what we call “private charity”—and it’s something we are proud to offer now.

Other Powerful Decentralized Networks: More Than Just Monero

While Monero is our newest addition, we’ve long supported other decentralized networks. For example:

  • DAI Stablecoin: A dollar-pegged currency that is governed by a decentralized system. Unlike USDT or USDC, which are controlled by centralized institutions, DAI gives you freedom from traditional finance while keeping value stable.
  • Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH): While not entirely private, these two giants remain the most widely used for decentralized transactions.
  • Solana (SOL) and Polygon (MATIC): Known for their speed and low fees, these networks also support efficient, trustless giving.

Every time you use a decentralized coin or token, you bypass intermediaries and bring relief straight to the hands of the needy. We’ve seen crypto food packages reach Gaza, zakat delivered to families in Yemen, and aid sent to Syrian orphans—all without any bank, border, or bureaucrat involved.

Why Anonymous Giving Matters in 2025—and Always Has

We live in an era of digital IDs, surveillance, and restricted movement. Many good-hearted people hesitate to give because they don’t want their data mined, their accounts flagged, or their actions monitored.

We understand this concern deeply. That’s why we’ve built our system to support:

  • No KYC charity
  • Crypto donations without wallet connection
  • Anonymous transactions that still get the job done

In Islam, the highest level of charity is when the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand gave. Through Monero and similar tools, we’re returning to that beautiful sunnah—modernized for the blockchain era.

Your Trust, Our Responsibility: Charity Built on Freedom and Faith

At Islamic Donate Charity, we believe that crypto is not just a tool—it’s a trust. It allows us to move fast, reach remote regions, and serve without delay. But it also allows you to give sincerely, without pressure, without exposure, and without compromise.

Whether you donate one Satoshi, one Monero, or one DAI, know that:

  • It’s between you and Allah
  • It’s secure and private
  • It’s going directly to those in need, not through multiple layers of bureaucracy

That’s the future of Islamic giving—and you’re helping build it with us.

Final Thoughts: Join the Movement of Anonymous Goodness

If you’ve ever felt hesitant to give because of identity concerns, privacy, or financial transparency issues—you’re not alone. That’s why we’ve expanded our crypto donation options to include Monero and other decentralized currencies.

You don’t have to sign up. You don’t need a connected wallet. Just good intentions, a little crypto, and a big heart.

A deal between yourself and Allah

Let’s continue this journey together. Let’s make giving private, powerful, and purely for Allah.

And remember—the best charity is the one given in silence, with sincerity.

CryptocurrencyWhat We Do

A Slice of Hope, Not Just History

You’ve probably heard of Bitcoin Pizza Day—a quirky day celebrated by crypto enthusiasts every May 22nd. But for us at Our Islamic Charity, this day means much more than a nostalgic nod to crypto history. It’s a chance to bring joy, warmth, and unforgettable memories to children who have tasted too much hardship—and never tasted pizza. Yes, you read that right.

This year, with your generous crypto donations, we baked and distributed 420 pizzas to children in Palestine, Syria, and Lebanon. And it all began with one little girl named Umra, whose innocent longing and gentle words became our inspiration.

What Is Bitcoin Pizza Day? The Real Story Behind Bitcoin Pizza Day

Let’s rewind the clock to May 22, 2010. On that day, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz made history by spending 10,000 Bitcoins—yes, 10,000!—to buy two pizzas. At that time, Bitcoin was a curious experiment; today, it’s a global phenomenon. The transaction was the first real-world purchase using cryptocurrency and became a symbol of crypto adoption.

So, every year on May 22nd, people celebrate Bitcoin Pizza Day as a tribute to how far digital currency has come. But for us, it’s not about digital revolutions or financial markets. It’s about turning something digital into something deeply human.

Why We Baked 420 Pizzas for Children in Need?

For us, this wasn’t about making headlines. It was about putting a smile on the face of a child who had never tasted pizza. Her name is Umra. She’s 12 years old. She lives in a world where treats like pizza are dreams, not dinner.

When she told us:

“I’ve never had pizza before, and I don’t know what it tastes like,” our hearts melted. That sentence became our mission.

With your support, we didn’t just bake for Umra—we baked for 420 children, many of whom had also never known the simple joy of warm, cheesy, delicious pizza. And believe us when we say: the joy in their eyes was more satisfying than any meal.

This wasn’t just food. This was a slice of happiness, a piece of childhood, and a bite of belonging

 

Umra’s Words Taught Us a Deeper Lesson

As we gathered with the children, laughing and sharing slices, something unexpected happened. Umra stood up and said something that made us pause:

“Even though I never had pizza before, I don’t like my photo to be shown. I feel shy. I’m embarrassed if people see me.”

Her voice was quiet, but her words were powerful. That moment reminded us of the core values we uphold at Our Islamic Charity, guided by the Ihsan al-A’amal Policy—our ethical foundation built on five timeless principles:

  • Preserving Human Dignity and Personality
  • Non-Religious Discrimination
  • The Do No Harm Principle
  • Beneficiary Centricity
  • Respecting Privacy

We saw courage in her modesty, and strength in her vulnerability. And we made a solemn promise: No child’s face, including Umra’s, would be shown in any public photos or reports.

Your donations did more than feed the hungry. They allowed us to practice what we preach—protecting dignity, upholding respect, and prioritizing our beneficiaries’ emotional and spiritual well-being.

Turning Cryptocurrency into Compassion

When you chose to donate cryptocurrency, you weren’t just moving digital coins—you were delivering warm food, building trust, and creating joy.

This is the power of crypto Zakat. No middlemen. No red tape. Just instant blessings, directly transforming lives.

On Bitcoin Pizza Day, your donations helped us go beyond symbols and stories. You helped create memories, restore dignity, and lift spirits.

Thank You, and May Allah Accept It from All of Us

To every one of you who gave—whether one satoshi or one whole Bitcoin—we want to say Jazakum Allahu Khayran from the bottom of our hearts. Because of you, 420 children laughed, ate, and felt loved. And one little girl named Umra tasted pizza for the first time—and also felt seen, heard, and respected.

We pray that Allah rewards your kindness with barakah in your rizq, ease in your affairs, and light in your grave and Hereafter. Your crypto donation didn’t just feed a child—it uplifted an Ummah.

And while we may never know your name, Allah surely does.

Join Us Again—Let’s Bake More Smiles Next Year

If you’ve ever wondered whether your donation makes a difference, this story is your answer. One girl. One pizza. One powerful message.

Let’s do it again. Let’s keep the oven warm, the hearts open, and the spirit alive. Donate a pizza. Feed a dream. Share a smile.

Make the Children Happy – Be Happy Yourself

May Bitcoin Pizza Day always be more than a memory—it should be a movement.

Understanding the Importance of Giving Zakat on Eid al-Fitr

Eid al-Fitr is one of the most joyous and significant occasions for Muslims worldwide. It marks the completion of Ramadan, a month of fasting, reflection, and worship. On this day, we gather with loved ones, share meals, and exchange gifts. However, Eid is not just about celebration; it is also about ensuring that every member of the Ummah, including the poor and needy, can partake in the festivities. This is where Zakat al-Fitr, also known as Fitrana, plays a vital role.

What is Zakat al-Fitr?

Zakat al-Fitr is a mandatory charity given by every Muslim before the Eid prayer. Its purpose is to purify the fasts of Ramadan and allow the less fortunate to experience the joy of Eid. Unlike Zakat al-Mal, which is based on accumulated wealth, Zakat al-Fitr is a fixed amount that must be given on behalf of each family member, including children and dependents. Click to see how to calculate Fitrana or pay your Zakat al-Fitr with cryptocurrency.

Difference Between Zakat al-Fitr and Zakat al-Mal

While both Zakat al-Fitr and Zakat al-Mal are obligatory, they serve different purposes:

  • Zakat al-Fitr is a small, fixed amount given before Eid al-Fitr to support the poor in celebrating the holiday.
  • Zakat al-Mal is a percentage of wealth (2.5%) that is given once a year to help those in need. In other words, it is both obligatory and, like Fitrana, must be paid once a year. Click to give your Zakat with cryptocurrency.
  • Timing: Zakat al-Fitr must be given before the Eid prayer, whereas Zakat al-Mal can be given at any time during the year and it must be paid once a year and on a date.
  • Calculation: Zakat al-Fitr is a set amount per person, while Zakat al-Mal is calculated based on savings that exceed the Nisab threshold.

Why Do Many Muslims Pay Zakat al-Mal on Eid?

Although Zakat al-Mal can be paid at any time of the year, many Muslims choose to pay it alongside Zakat al-Fitr on Eid al-Fitr. This practice has several benefits:

  1. Maximizing the Rewards of Ramadan: The last ten nights of Ramadan are especially blessed. By giving Zakat al-Mal at this time, Muslims increase their rewards and seek the mercy of Allah.
  2. Avoiding Forgetfulness: By combining both forms of Zakat, a person ensures they fulfill their obligations without delay.
  3. Spreading Joy on Eid: Since Eid is a day of happiness, paying Zakat al-Mal along with Fitrana allows more people to benefit from financial assistance, making the holiday even more special for those in need.

Giving Zakat to Widows and Orphans on Eid al-Fitr

At Our Islamic Charity, we prioritize supporting widows, orphans, and those who struggle to make ends meet. Your Zakat donations enable us to provide:

  • Eid gifts and clothing for orphaned children
  • Food packages for struggling families
  • Financial aid for widows to support their children
  • Special celebrations to bring smiles to those who have lost loved ones

By giving Zakat on Eid, you help make this blessed day a source of joy for everyone. Your generosity ensures that no one is left out of the celebration, fulfilling the true spirit of Eid al-Fitr.

How to Calculate and Pay Your Zakat

If you are unsure how much to give, use a Zakat Calculator to determine your obligation. Remember:

  • Zakat al-Fitr is a small amount per person (equivalent to the price of staple food like wheat, dates, or rice).
  • Zakat al-Mal is 2.5% of your savings and assets above the Nisab threshold.

Donations can be given in cryptocurrency, ensuring fast and secure transactions for those in need. Many Muslims hold their assets in Bitcoin or Ethereum or Solana or stablecoins such as Tether or USDC. If you also have assets in digital currencies, you should know that you can easily and safely give your obligatory zakat on cryptocurrencies to the needy with Bitcoin Zakat or Ethereum Zakat or Solana Zakat. If you are one of those who donate without KYC, you can use direct donation to the wallet.

Make Eid a Blessed Day for All

Eid is a time of unity, compassion, and generosity. Let us remember our brothers and sisters who are struggling and ensure they, too, can celebrate with dignity. Through your crypto Zakat donation, you can make a difference in the lives of the needy.

Give Zakat today and spread the joy of Eid to everyone!

CryptocurrencyIbadah / Acts of WorshipReligionZakat

What Is Zakat and Why Was It Established?

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam, a fundamental duty for every eligible Muslim. It is an obligatory act of worship designed to purify one’s wealth and support those in need. But can Zakat be given to Muslims in other countries? Absolutely. Let’s explore why Zakat is universal and why borders do not limit its impact.

Zakat is a form of charity that purifies wealth, redistributes economic resources, and uplifts the less fortunate. It is not merely an act of kindness but a divine obligation ordained by Allah. The Quran states:

“Take, [O, Muhammad], from their wealth a charity by which you purify them and cause them increase, and invoke [ Allah ‘s blessings] upon them. Indeed, your invocations are reassurance for them. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.” (Surah At-Tawbah 9:103)

Zakat is meant to eliminate poverty, strengthen social bonds, and ensure that wealth circulates within the Muslim Ummah. It is a system that transcends political boundaries and economic barriers.

Do Borders Matter When Giving Zakat?

Borders and country names exist in today’s world, but they have changed multiple times throughout history. However, the essence of Islam remains unchanged. Islam unites us as one Ummah, where all Muslims are interconnected by faith and Ukhuwwah (brotherhood and sisterhood).

Allah reminds us:

The believers are but brothers, so make settlement between your brothers. And fear Allah that you may receive mercy.” (Surah Al-Hujurat 49:10)

This means that a Muslim’s responsibility does not stop at their national boundary. If a Muslim is suffering in another country, we have a duty to assist them, whether they are in Palestine, Africa, or anywhere else in the world.

Can You Send Zakat to Muslims in Other Countries?

Yes, you can. If you are a Muslim in England, France, or Germany, you can send your Zakat to orphaned children in war-torn Palestine or to struggling families in Africa. If you are in India, the Emirates, or Kuwait, you can give your Zakat to support Muslims in need, regardless of where they are.

Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) allows Zakat to be distributed wherever there is need, particularly when local Muslims have sufficient resources while others elsewhere are suffering. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of assisting fellow Muslims, regardless of distance.

“The believers, in their mutual kindness, compassion, and sympathy, are just like one body. When one of the limbs suffers, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness and fever.” (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)

If Muslims in a particular region have excess Zakat while others are in dire need, it is not only permissible but necessary to send help where it is most required.

How Cryptocurrency Makes Giving Zakat Easier

In today’s digital era, cryptocurrency provides an efficient way to send Zakat across borders. It allows Muslims to support the needy in real time, ensuring that funds reach the most vulnerable quickly and securely. By leveraging blockchain technology, we can distribute Zakat to orphaned children, displaced Palestinian families, and struggling Muslims in Africa without delays or excessive fees.

You can easily calculate your Zakat using a cryptocurrency Zakat calculator and pay it securely with crypto.

Some Muslims prefer to calculate their Zakat manually to ensure accuracy in fulfilling their obligation. If you have already determined the amount due, you can pay your Zakat instantly through this link.

Others, recognizing the immense blessings of Ramadan, choose to donate their Zakat specifically during this sacred month to support those in need. If you wish to give your Zakat for Ramadan, you can do so here and help provide relief to the less fortunate during this blessed time.

Can I Help Other Countries Anonymously?

Yes. Of course, we are very happy if donors enter their personal information such as email so that we can send them confirmation of their deposit and also reports of charitable deeds. On the other hand, we have a strict personal information privacy policy and the information of individuals is kept in trust with us and we do not provide it to others, but still some donors are interested in fully protecting their personal information and helping anonymously. We respect this category of donors and they can pay Zakat completely anonymously or give their Zakat to the needy in other countries.

Islam Sees No Borders—Neither Should Our Charity

In Islam, nationality, race, and color do not determine a person’s worth. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

“There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab; neither is the white superior over the black nor the black superior over the white—except by piety and good action.” (Musnad Ahmad)

The concept of Ukhuwwah teaches us that all Muslims are one family. If your brother or sister is in need, you do not hesitate to help simply because they live in another country.

Final Thoughts

Yes, you can and should give Zakat to Muslims in other countries. Islam promotes unity and mutual aid, and in times of hardship, our Zakat should go where it is needed the most. Whether you are in Europe, the Middle East, or Asia, your Zakat can uplift lives, support families, and strengthen our Ummah.

With today’s technology, donating Zakat has never been easier. Through cryptocurrency and other digital means, you can ensure that your Zakat reaches the most deserving, regardless of geography. Let’s fulfill our duty, strengthen our bond of Ukhuwwah, and support our brothers and sisters in need—wherever they may be.

Ripple’s History: Donors Have Known XRP for Years

Ripple has been a crucial part of our charity operations for many years. As an established cryptocurrency, it has gained global recognition, making it a preferred choice for donors and recipients alike. Many people are familiar with Ripple and trust it, which has helped us facilitate seamless transactions for charitable purposes, such as providing food for the needy and supporting our humanitarian projects.

Why We Use Ripple for Charity

Trusted and Recognized Worldwide

Ripple has been around for a long time, and its reputation has made it a trusted digital asset globally. Many of our donors are already familiar with XRP, making it easier for them to contribute. The widespread acceptance of Ripple means that recipients in various countries can easily convert donations into local currencies, enabling them to purchase essential supplies, food, and medical aid.

Ripple’s Stablecoin: RLUSD – A Game Changer for Charitable Transactions

In December 2024, Ripple introduced RLUSD, a USD-backed stablecoin designed to enhance stability and liquidity. This stablecoin is fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, government bonds, and cash equivalents, ensuring a secure and reliable store of value. The introduction of RLUSD is a significant breakthrough, as it eliminates price volatility, allowing us to send and receive funds with confidence that the value remains stable.

RLUSD is available on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchain, increasing its usability across different platforms. This interoperability ensures that our charity can accept donations from a broader range of supporters while maintaining a stable value for transactions. Having a stablecoin linked to Ripple strengthens our ability to distribute aid efficiently, without worrying about market fluctuations affecting the value of donations.

Ripple and CME: Expanding Institutional Adoption

Recently, discussions emerged regarding the potential listing of XRP futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Although speculation surrounded this news, the increasing institutional interest in Ripple highlights its growing relevance in the financial sector. If financial institutions continue to recognize and adopt Ripple, it could lead to greater stability and more mainstream use, making it even more effective for charitable organizations like ours.

Fast and Cost-Effective Transactions

One of the biggest advantages of Ripple is its ability to process transactions in just 3–5 seconds. Unlike traditional banking systems such as SWIFT, which can take days, Ripple ensures that funds reach their destination almost instantly. This speed is crucial for urgent charity cases where immediate action is required. Additionally, transaction costs are minimal, allowing us to maximize the amount of aid delivered to those in need without excessive fees eating into our funds.

Scalability and Security

Ripple’s network can handle up to 1,500 transactions per second, making it highly scalable. This efficiency allows us to process large volumes of donations and distribute them quickly. Moreover, Ripple operates on a decentralized ledger with over 100 validators worldwide, ensuring security and transparency. The technology behind Ripple has been tested and proven reliable over the years, giving us confidence in its stability and long-term sustainability.

The potential listing of XRP on major financial exchanges could increase liquidity and enhance Ripple’s credibility, further encouraging donors to use it for their contributions. As a charity focused on maximizing efficiency, this development reinforces our trust in Ripple as a reliable and sustainable financial tool for humanitarian aid.

The Future of Ripple in Our Charity Work

As we continue to expand our humanitarian efforts, Ripple remains one of our preferred cryptocurrencies for donations and aid distribution. Its speed, low cost, and scalability have already benefited our charitable initiatives, and the introduction of RLUSD further strengthens its utility. With institutional adoption on the rise and ongoing technological advancements, Ripple continues to be a vital asset in our mission to support the needy and uplift communities worldwide. We have been accepting Ripple as a currency for donations for many years. You can see our projects and donate with Ripple.

By leveraging Ripple’s technology, we ensure that donations reach those who need them most, without delays or unnecessary costs. This efficiency aligns perfectly with our goal of maximizing impact while adhering to ethical and Islamic charitable principles. We remain committed to using innovative financial tools like Ripple to empower our charity and extend our reach to more people in need.
