How We Used Cryptocurrency Donations to Deliver Qurbani Meat Across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East on Eid al-Adha 2025?

Eid al-Adha 2025 was more than just a religious celebration for us at Islamic Donate Charity—it became a powerful movement of hope, faith, and nourishment. With your generous crypto donations, we were able to carry out one of the most meaningful Qurbani missions yet. Together, we delivered over 1,700 kilos of sacrificial meat to those who needed it most.

Eid al-Adha 2025, When Faith Meets Action in Times of Crisis:

This wasn’t just meat. It was dignity on a plate for widows, comfort for orphans, and relief for displaced families across Palestine, Gaza Strip, Rafah, Africa, and Asia. You, through your cryptocurrency contributions, became the hands that extended this mercy. Let’s take you behind the scenes of how your Qurbani transformed lives this Eid.

Cryptocurrency and Qurbani: A New Dawn in Giving

In 2025, many of you chose to fulfill your Qurbani through digital means—and it made a world of difference. As blockchain and decentralized finance become more accessible, donating with cryptocurrency is no longer a futuristic concept. It’s a present-day power tool for impact.

By using crypto to donate Qurbani, you bypassed high bank fees, reached remote regions faster, and enabled real-time distribution—even in crisis zones like Gaza, Rafah, and northern Lebanon. Your donations reached us instantly and were immediately converted into action.

But none of these are as valuable as your intention to donate… And on Eid al-Adha, it helped us bridge the gap between your intention and someone’s survival.

3 Powerful Ways Your Qurbani Meat Was Delivered

We didn’t just distribute meat—we tailored it to meet the needs of every location, culture, and crisis. Your sacrifice reached people in three impactful ways:

  1. Cooked Meals for the Starving: In regions where access to kitchens, gas, or even clean water is a luxury, we turned raw meat into nutritious meals. In Palestine, refugee camps, and parts of East Africa, we prepared hot dishes infused with local spices and familiar flavors. These meals were served directly to orphans, widows, and the displaced—people who had fasted not by choice, but by circumstance.
  2. Raw, Hygienic Meat for Families: In areas where families still had the means to cook, we packaged sacrificial meat using strict hygiene protocols. The meat was sealed, labeled, and distributed in family-sized portions. This approach gave mothers and female heads of households the dignity to cook and serve their loved ones during the holy days of Eid.
  3. Minced and Marinated Products for Efficiency: In remote or underserved areas—especially in northern Lebanon and parts of rural Africa—we offered minced and pre-marinated Qurbani meat. These options made it easier to cook with minimal resources. It also reduced waste and ensured that even small families received high-protein, ready-to-use meat.

Why Eid al-Adha 2025 Was a Turning Point

This year, more than ever, the Ummah united in an extraordinary way. The conflict in Palestine, economic instability in parts of Asia, and drought-affected zones in Africa pushed thousands closer to the edge of hunger. And yet, you—our global family—rose to the occasion.

Your Qurbani reached people who had lost everything. And for many of them, it was the only meat they’d had in months. That’s the power of collective faith combined with modern tools like cryptocurrency.

What Made This Year’s Qurbani Project Different?

  • Focus on Women and Children: Special attention was given to widows, female-led households, and orphans.
    High-Impact Zones: From Gaza to Rafah, our team was on the ground—even in areas most NGOs could not reach.
  • Amount of distribution: On Eid al-Adha 2025, we were able to distribute 1700 kilos of sacrificial meat for the first time, which was a record that we were able to achieve for the first time.
  • Localized Distribution: Each community received Qurbani meat in a form best suited to its needs. For the first time, we were able to successfully perform Qurbani in parts of Africa (such as Qurbani in Uganda).

We worked tirelessly with local volunteers, imams, and aid workers to ensure that every sacrifice was fulfilled with precision, transparency, and respect for Islamic principles.

Join Us in the Next Mission

Eid may be over, but the need remains. Hunger doesn’t follow a calendar, and crises don’t pause after celebrations. Whether it’s through crypto, fiat, or du’a—your support powers our movement.

If you missed this year’s Qurbani, it’s never too late to give. We always run the Qurbani program throughout the year, because the needy all over the world always need help, not just during Eid. You can also participate in our Qurbani programs.

Donate your Qurbani with cryptocurrency

At Islamic Donate Charity, we believe in action rooted in faith—and that no sacrifice, no matter how small, goes unnoticed by Allah.

You Made Eid a Day of Joy for Thousands

Eid al-Adha 2025 was a living testimony of what we can achieve when modern tools meet timeless compassion. Together, we transformed your crypto donations into blessings of meat and mercy, spread across continents. Every kilo delivered carried your niyyah, your generosity, and your love.

So from the families in Gaza, the mothers in Africa, and the children in Asia, we say:

Jazakum Allahu Khairan.

You made their Eid. Let’s continue this journey—Qurbani is just one step in a lifelong path of giving.

War Has Displaced Thousands in Tehran—Here’s How We Can Help Right Now

When war breaks out, it doesn’t ask for names or identities. It strikes homes, neighborhoods, and communities—leaving behind a trail of shattered lives. Since June 13, the city of Tehran has been caught in such devastation. As Islamic Donate Charity, we are on the frontlines, working for the innocent and voiceless: the displaced, the wounded, the frightened families, and the war-affected people of Iran.

In this heartfelt article, we want to speak with you, not just as a reader but as someone who can make a difference. We’ll walk you through the current situation on the ground, what the people urgently need, and how you can become a part of the solution—especially through cryptocurrency donations, which have become a fast, borderless, and powerful means to deliver hope.

The Crisis in Tehran: What We Witnessed Firsthand

The city of Tehran, Iran’s beating heart, is now struggling under the heavy burden of war. Our dedicated team member, Rasool, who has served with Islamic Donate Charity for many years, remains in Tehran as a witness and responder to the unfolding disaster. He told us how homes have been demolished, families torn apart, and how major roads out of the city are jammed with panicked residents fleeing to nearby towns and villages.

The situation isn’t just about destruction—it’s about survival. Ordinary people are running for their lives. Many didn’t even have time to pack a bag. In the chaos, children are crying, mothers are searching for water, and fathers are desperately trying to protect their families with what little they have left.

The situation of a hospital in Iran. This hospital has been evacuated due to the risk of destruction:

Urgent Needs: What People in Displacement Camps Are Begging For

Imagine being forced to abandon your home and waking up in an unfamiliar place with nothing—no fuel to stay warm, no water to stay alive, no hygiene tools to stay healthy. That’s the reality thousands of war-affected people in Iran now face.

We asked Rasool about the current situation in the camps. He told us directly and emotionally that the most urgent needs include:

  • Gasoline and gas cylinders for cooking and heating
  • Portable batteries and power sources for lights and medical devices
  • Clean water for drinking and washing
  • Hygiene supplies like soap, sanitary pads, toothpaste, and toilet paper
  • Clean clothes, especially for children who’ve gone days without a change

Every hour we delay means more suffering. That’s why we’re acting fast—but we can’t do it alone.

Why Cryptocurrency Donations Are Critical—And How You Can Join

When disaster strikes, speed matters. Banks fail. Currencies fluctuate. Bureaucracy slows everything down. That’s why cryptocurrency donations are saving lives—especially now in Iran.

With crypto, we bypass the delays and deliver your support directly into the hands of our team members like Rasool. It means we can buy fuel, distribute water, and get clean clothes into tents—all within hours. No red tape. No bank holidays. Just pure, unfiltered aid reaching those who need it most.

Whether you’re in Tehran, elsewhere in Iran, or anywhere across the globe, you can donate crypto in seconds to Islamic Donate Charity. We accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins like USDT, and other major cryptocurrencies. Your generosity turns digital coins into real-world impact—food, warmth, safety, dignity.

We’re Not Just Giving Aid—We’re Giving Dignity

Let’s be clear: what these families need is not just food or blankets. They need to feel seen, heard, and cared for. Displacement doesn’t just crush bones—it crushes the spirit. And by reaching out, by giving even a small amount, you help restore that spirit.

You let a child know someone cares enough to send her new shoes. You give a father enough fuel to cook one hot meal for his family. You give a mother a clean set of clothes so she can hold her head high again.

And that’s powerful. That’s transformative. That’s Islamic compassion in action.

Let’s Do This Together—Before It’s Too Late

Time is running out. Every moment matters. The displaced and war-affected people of Iran—especially those in Tehran—are not numbers. They are our brothers and sisters, our ummah. And they are counting on us.

So, what can you do right now?

  • Donate with cryptocurrency: quick, secure, borderless.
  • Share this message: let others know what’s happening.
  • Pray for the innocent: and if you can, back that prayer with action.

Urgent Aid to War Victims

You’re not just reading an article. You’re standing at a crossroads. One road leads to action—and lives saved. The other? Silence. Delay. Regret.

Join us. Let’s stand side by side with the innocent victims of war. Let’s light up the darkness—together.

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.

Our Sacred Duty: Mixing Water and Flour and Delivering Bread to the Palestinians

In the heart of every believer is the desire to do good — to bring ease to those in hardship and earn the eternal pleasure of Allah. When you give bread to the people of Gaza, Rafah, and the broader Palestinian region, you’re not just offering food. You’re offering hope, dignity, and a piece of your soul. At Our Islamic Charity, we walk this journey with you — hand in hand — restoring lives through something as simple, yet powerful, as a loaf of bread.

Why Bread? Because It Sustains Life — and Faith

Bread is more than just food. It’s a symbol of resilience. A basic human right. A daily reminder of survival and gratitude. In Gaza and Rafah, where the scent of war hangs in the air and the hum of drones often replaces the laughter of children, bread becomes a lifeline.

When conflict destroys local bakeries and supply chains are broken, families don’t just lose food — they lose their rhythm, their security, their sense of normalcy. That’s why we don’t just hand out aid; we rebuild bakeries, deliver fuel, water, and flour, knead the dough, and bake fresh bread daily.

 

Our teams dry the bread to preserve its quality, ensuring it lasts longer and reaches further — without losing its purity or nutrition.

This isn’t just humanitarian aid — this is philanthropic giving rooted in deep faith. This is sadaqah. This is the kind of alms that doesn’t just feed stomachs — it nourishes souls.

Rebuilding Dignity One Loaf at a Time

You may be wondering — how can something as small as a donation change anything in a war-torn land?

Here’s how:
When you donate cryptocurrency or traditional alms to Our Islamic Charity, you become part of a living system that directly serves Palestine. We use your donations to restore damaged bakeries across Gaza and Rafah. These aren’t temporary pop-ups — these are long-term facilities equipped with essential utilities: gas, flour, clean water, manpower, and purpose.

Every dry loaf of bread that reaches a family in Palestine is a silent message from you:
“You are not forgotten. We are with you. Allah is with you.”

Bread help crisis Palestine Gaza Rafah bread for children orphan BTC ETH SOL XRP giving

And while your gift is physical, its reward is eternal. This act of giving — this spiritual transaction — is the kind of charity that shields you on the Day of Judgment. It multiplies your rizq, brings tranquility to your heart, and protects your wealth from loss.

Cryptocurrency and the Future of Charitable Giving

We live in a time where technology can serve faith. Cryptocurrency donations are now a powerful means of fulfilling your zakat, sadaqah, or general charity. They are fast, secure, borderless, and discreet — just like the purest forms of giving mentioned in the Qur’an.

“Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in Allah , the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, in spite of love for it, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives zakah; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous.” Quran(2:177)

Whether it’s Bitcoin, Ethereum, or stablecoins like Tether, your crypto donation is converted into bread, into fuel, into survival. No middlemen. No delays. Just direct aid flowing from your heart to the ovens of Gaza.

And while the bread nourishes the body, the act of giving elevates your soul.

You Are the Light in Their Darkness

Imagine a family breaking their fast in a tent near Rafah. The father holds back tears as he hands his children the dry bread you helped deliver. He doesn’t know your name — but he knows your generosity. He knows someone, somewhere, obeyed Allah’s command and gave from what they loved.

Bread Emergency Relief Palestine Gaza Rafah bread for children orphan BTC ETH SOL USDC giving

We believe that every act of kindness writes a page in your book of deeds. And when you choose to give — even one slice of bread — you’re writing chapters of mercy, of reward, of everlasting impact.

Let’s Walk This Journey Together

At Our Islamic Charity, we don’t ask for charity out of desperation. We invite you to invest in your akhirah, to be part of a movement grounded in mercy and sincerity. Together, we are not just feeding the poor. We are reviving hope in Palestine. We are rebuilding what was destroyed. We are turning your philanthropic giving into a daily stream of blessings.

Don’t wait for the next crisis. Let your generosity be proactive, not reactive.

Start with one loaf. One intention. One heartfelt donation.

Join us in delivering bread to the people of Palestine — and earning barakah that never ends.

Food and NutritionHumanitarian AidIbadah / Acts of WorshipProjectsReportSadaqahWhat We DoZakat

Ibadah, often translated as worship or devotion, forms the very core of Islamic life. It’s more than just ritual; it’s a holistic concept encompassing every action, intention, and thought that seeks to please Allah (God). This comprehensive understanding differentiates Islam’s concept of worship from those of other faiths.

Ibadah stems from the Arabic root meaning “to worship, serve, and obey.” It represents a complete submission to Allah’s will, expressed through actions aligned with the Shariah (Islamic Law) as derived from the Quran and Sunnah (the teachings and practices of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him). The essence of Ibadah lies in its sincerity. It’s performed solely for Allah’s pleasure, devoid of any desire for worldly recognition or praise.

The Quran and Sunnah provide the framework for acceptable Ibadah. These sources detail not only the specific acts of worship but also the necessary conditions for their validity, including proper intention (Niyyah), mindfulness (Khushu’), and adherence to the prescribed manner. Without these elements, even outwardly compliant actions may lack the spiritual weight that defines true Ibadah.

The overarching purpose of Ibadah is to cultivate a deep and personal connection with Allah. It serves as a pathway to spiritual purification, moral refinement, and ultimately, attaining Allah’s pleasure (Ridwan). Through Ibadah, Muslims strive to embody the attributes of submission, gratitude, and love for their Creator.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the critical role of intention in Ibadah, stating, “Actions are judged by intentions, and each person will have what they intended.” This hadith underscores that the true value of Ibadah resides not merely in the outward act but in the inner state of the heart and mind. A small act performed with sincere intention can outweigh a grand gesture motivated by superficiality.

Ibadah manifests in various forms, encompassing both obligatory duties and voluntary acts of devotion:

  • The Five Pillars of Islam: Shahada (Declaration of Faith), Salah (Prayer), Zakat (Charity), Sawm (Fasting), and Hajj (Pilgrimage) constitute the fundamental acts of Ibadah for every Muslim. They are the cornerstones of Islamic practice and provide a structured framework for spiritual growth.
  • Beyond the Pillars: Ibadah extends far beyond the Five Pillars, encompassing acts such as reciting the Quran, making Du’a (supplication), giving Sadaqah (voluntary charity), spreading knowledge, visiting the sick, helping the needy, and even engaging in lawful and ethical business practices with the intention of pleasing Allah.
  • Outward Actions and Inward States: Ibadah is not limited to physical actions; it also includes inward states of the heart, such as love for Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him), fear of Allah’s punishment, hope in His mercy, trust in His providence, and gratitude for His blessings.

Islamic scholars categorize Ibadah into different levels based on their obligation and importance:

  • Fard/Farizah (Obligatory): These are the mandatory acts of worship that every Muslim must perform. Failure to fulfill these obligations constitutes a sin. The Five Pillars of Islam fall under this category.
  • Mustahabb/Sunnah (Recommended): These are acts of worship that are highly encouraged but not compulsory. Performing them brings extra reward, but neglecting them does not incur punishment. Examples include voluntary prayers (such as Taraweeh during Ramadan), frequent Quran recitation, and additional acts of charity.
  • Wajib Kaffarah (Mandatory Expiation): These are acts of worship performed to atone for specific sins or violations. They are obligatory to seek Allah’s forgiveness and remove the consequences of wrongdoing. Examples include paying Kaffarah for breaking oaths, missing fasts in Ramadan without a valid reason, or committing certain types of offenses.
  • Mubah (Permissible): These are the actions that are in accordance to Shariah such as eating permissible things to gain strength to worship God.

Ibadah, when performed with sincerity and mindfulness, yields numerous benefits for the individual and society. It fosters:

  • Spiritual Growth and Purification: Ibadah cleanses the heart from negativity, strengthens one’s connection with Allah, and cultivates inner peace and contentment.
  • Moral Refinement: Ibadah instills virtues such as honesty, compassion, patience, and humility, transforming individuals into better versions of themselves.
  • Social Harmony: Ibadah promotes unity, cooperation, and mutual respect within the Muslim community and beyond.
  • Protection from Evil: Ibadah serves as a shield against temptation and wrongdoing, guiding individuals towards righteousness and good conduct.
  • Ultimate Success: By pleasing Allah through Ibadah, Muslims strive to attain eternal happiness and salvation in the Hereafter.

In conclusion, Ibadah is a comprehensive concept that encompasses all aspects of a Muslim’s life. It’s a continuous journey of submission, devotion, and service to Allah, aimed at cultivating a deep and personal relationship with the Divine and attaining ultimate success in this world and the next. It goes beyond mere ritualistic practice, permeating every action, intention, and thought with the intention of pleasing Allah and living in accordance with His will.

It encompasses every action, intention, and thought, making it a holistic and all-encompassing way of life.

8. What is the role of intention (Niyyah) in Ibadah?

Intention (Niyyah) is crucial in Ibadah. It determines the purpose and validity of the act. A sincere intention to perform the act solely for Allah’s pleasure is essential for it to be accepted. Without a correct intention, the act may be devoid of spiritual value.

Fard Ibadah is obligatory and must be performed by every Muslim. Failure to do so constitutes a sin.

Fard acts are essential, while Mustahabb acts are supplementary.

12. What are the five pillars of Islam and how do they relate to Ibadah?

The five pillars of Islam (Shahada, Salah, Zakat, Sawm, Hajj) are the most fundamental acts of Ibadah in Islam. They are the core obligations that every Muslim must fulfill and serve as the foundation of their faith and practice. Each pillar represents a specific form of worship and devotion to Allah.

13. How to improve Khushu’ (mindfulness) during Ibadah.

Improving Khushu’ (mindfulness) during Ibadah involves focusing the heart and mind on Allah, understanding the meaning of the prayers and recitations, eliminating distractions, reflecting on Allah’s greatness, and approaching Ibadah with humility and reverence. Regular practice and sincere effort can help cultivate Khushu’.

14. What does the Quran say about Ibadah?

The Quran repeatedly emphasizes the importance of Ibadah, urging believers to worship Allah alone, fulfill their obligations, and strive to please Him in all aspects of life. The Quran describes Ibadah as the purpose of creation and the path to salvation. It also provides guidance on how to perform Ibadah correctly and with sincerity.

15. Financial Ibadah: Zakat and Sadaqah explained.

Zakat and Sadaqah are financial forms of Ibadah in Islam. Zakat is an obligatory form of charity that requires Muslims who meet certain wealth criteria to donate a portion of their wealth to the poor and needy. Sadaqah is voluntary charity that can be given at any time and in any amount. Both Zakat and Sadaqah purify wealth, help those in need, and earn Allah’s pleasure.

True Ibadah is not confined to prayer and fasting alone—it extends to every act of goodness done with sincerity for the sake of Allah. Supporting the vulnerable, feeding the hungry, and lifting the burden of the oppressed are all forms of worship in His eyes. At IslamicDonate, we transform your compassion into lasting impact.
