Supporting the Fasting with Suhoor and Iftar Meals

Ramadan is a month of devotion, sacrifice, and generosity. For many of us, it is a time to reflect on our blessings and extend a helping hand to those struggling to find their next meal. At Our Islamic Charity, we embarked on a mission to ensure that no fasting Muslim is left without Suhoor and Iftar.

This year, our goal was ambitious yet necessary: to provide 40,000 Suhoor and Iftar meals for the needy with the support of our dedicated donors, including those who contribute through cryptocurrency donations. With your generosity, we have taken significant measures to alleviate hunger and hardship during this sacred month.

Emergency Relief: Providing Food and Water Amidst Crisis

Unfortunately, Ramadan 2025 has been marked by devastating conflicts in Yemen, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria. Many Muslims in refugee camps and war-affected cities fasted under dire conditions, with limited access to food and clean water. Understanding the urgency, we focused not only on food distribution but also on providing medical and health assistance to ensure the well-being of the fasting individuals.

We expanded our efforts by delivering dry food packages, enhancing food relief operations, and upgrading community kitchens in multiple countries. Despite the challenges, our teams on the ground worked tirelessly to bring sustenance to those in need.

Impact Across Different Regions: A Report from the Ground

Now, after 20 days of Ramadan 2025, we are honored to share the impact of our efforts:

  • Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sudan, and South Sudan: Thousands of fasting individuals were served daily through our specialized kitchens, where hot meals were prepared and distributed with care.
  • Yemen and Palestine: These regions posed unique challenges due to ongoing conflicts. In many cases, our teams had to set up makeshift kitchens on the streets and rooftops to ensure food reached those in need. Additionally, we distributed dry and canned food packages to families who had no means to cook for themselves.

Through determination and the support of our donors, we proudly announce that in just 20 days of Ramadan:

  • 12,200 hot meals were cooked and served to fasting individuals. Including African countries like Sudan and South Sudan and Asian countries like Yemen, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
  • 16,400 dry and canned food packages were distributed across multiple countries. Especially the Mediterranean region like Palestine, Lebanon and Syria.

How Your Zakat and Crypto Donations Made a Difference

Your generosity plays a crucial role in sustaining these efforts. By donating Zakat, especially through cryptocurrency, you helped us extend our reach and ensure efficient and immediate food aid distribution. As Allah commands, giving Zakat purifies wealth and uplifts the most vulnerable among us.

This Ramadan, your donations transformed lives. Whether through food aid, water relief, or medical support, your contributions ensured that struggling families had the sustenance to observe their fasts with dignity.

Continuing the Mission Beyond Ramadan

Although Ramadan is a special time for giving, hunger and hardship do not end with the month’s conclusion. We urge you to continue supporting our mission so that we can provide food assistance, emergency relief, and sustainable aid throughout the year.

May Allah accept your charity, multiply your rewards, and grant you endless blessings. Let’s keep this momentum alive—together, we can make a lasting difference for those in need.

Fi Amanillah (May Allah protect you).

What is Al-Ashar Al-Awakhir and what is its significance?

The final ten nights of Ramadan, known as Al-Ashar Al-Awakhir, are the most spiritually charged nights of the year. These nights are a time when blessings descend, sins are erased, and destinies are rewritten. Among them lies the most powerful night, Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Power)—a night greater than a thousand months.

the Night of Decree or Power—which is better than a thousand months (Surah Al-Qadr 97:3).

As believers, we must seize this golden opportunity to elevate our faith, seek forgiveness, and give in charity. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “The best charity is that given in Ramadan.” This is our moment to maximize rewards, strengthen our connection with Allah, and support the less fortunate.

The Last 10 Nights of Ramadan: Why Are They So Special?

1. Laylatul Qadr: The Night of Power

The greatest treasure hidden within these ten nights is Laylatul Qadr, the night when the Qur’an was first revealed. Worship on this night is equivalent to more than 83 years of devotion. Angels descend, and Allah’s mercy overflows, offering believers the chance to rewrite their fate through sincere prayers and repentance.

This is the night to make heartfelt du’a, seek forgiveness, and ask for blessings in this life and the hereafter. The most recommended supplication for this night is:

اللهم إنك عفو تحب العفو فاعف عني
(O Allah, You are the Most Forgiving, and You love to forgive, so forgive me.)

2. Intensified Worship: Follow the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ

During the last ten nights, the Prophet ﷺ increased his acts of worship significantly. It is narrated that he would stay awake all night in prayer, wake his family, and tighten his belt, signifying deep devotion.

Some key actions to follow his example:

  • Tahajjud & Qiyam-ul-Layl: Night prayers hold immense weight in these blessed nights.
  • Dhikr & Qur’an Recitation: Keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah.
  • Du’a & Istighfar: Seek forgiveness, as these are nights of mercy.
  • Giving Zakat and Charity: Many Muslims give Zakat during these ten days and benefit from the immense blessings of these ten days. Paying Zakat with the Eid al-Fitr Zakat is one of the best traditions of Muslims during these ten days.

3. The Power of I’tikaf: Seclusion for the Soul

One of the most powerful Sunnahs of these nights is I’tikaf, a spiritual retreat where a believer isolates themselves in the mosque to dedicate time solely to Allah. It is a moment to disconnect from the world and reconnect with the Divine.

Even if one cannot stay in the mosque, setting aside uninterrupted time for worship, reflection, and self-purification at home can bring immense blessings.

The Importance of Forgiving Others in These Nights

Ramadan is not just about fasting and prayer; it’s about purifying the heart. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized the virtue of forgiving others and letting go of grudges, especially in these sacred nights. Imagine standing in prayer, seeking Allah’s forgiveness while holding resentment in your heart—how can we expect forgiveness when we do not grant it to others?

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Show mercy, and you will be shown mercy. Forgive, and Allah will forgive you.”

If you want your sins erased, your du’as accepted, and your heart purified, then let go of anger, bitterness, and grudges. Reach out, reconcile, and embrace the spirit of unity and brotherhood.

Charity in the Last 10 Nights: Your Gateway to Eternal Rewards

One of the best ways to gain Allah’s mercy is through charity. The Prophet ﷺ was the most generous during Ramadan, giving whatever he could to those in need.

Now, in the age of cryptocurrency, we have the chance to donate with ease and anonymity. Giving crypto Zakat in these nights can be your gateway to immense barakah. Every satoshi, every token, and every coin you give can feed the hungry, shelter the displaced, and heal the sick.

We at Our Islamic Charity are on the ground, ensuring your charity reaches those who need it most—providing food, water, and medical aid to those in distress. Imagine making a crypto donation on Laylatul Qadr, multiplying your rewards beyond comprehension.

We ask all of you, dear ones, to pray for the Muslims of Palestine, Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria in these last days of the holy month of Ramadan 2025. In this Ramadan, as members of Islamic charities who are present in these areas for charitable activities, we are witnessing war and displacement of people, especially orphans. May Allah bless us all.

Final Thoughts: Make These Nights Count

These last ten nights are a gift, a once-in-a-year opportunity to turn back to Allah with sincerity. Don’t let them pass by like any other night.

  • Pray like it’s your last Ramadan.
  • Give like it’s your last chance for Sadaqah.
  • Forgive like you seek Allah’s forgiveness.
  • Seek Laylatul Qadr with all your heart.

The doors of mercy, forgiveness, and paradise are open. Will you walk through them?

Make the most of these nights. Pray. Repent. Give. And witness the blessings pour into your life. 🌙✨

Honoring Women During Ramadan 2025 and Islamic Charity Report

Ramadan 2025 has brought countless blessings, and at Our Islamic Charity, we have been at the forefront of serving the fasting fuqara with dedication and love. As of now, nearly ten days into Ramadan, we have prepared and distributed an average of 10,000 Suhoor and Iftar meals daily across six countries: Palestine, Lebanon, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sudan. This massive effort, supported by our devoted donors, including those who donate cryptocurrency as zakat, has ensured that thousands of needy Muslims can fast in accordance with Islamic Sharia without worrying about their next meal.

However, this Ramadan holds an exceptional significance—it coincides with March 8th, International Women’s Day. This occasion provided us with a beautiful opportunity to celebrate the status of women in Islam, recognizing their strength, patience, and pivotal role in society while ensuring that our fasting sisters felt truly honored.

Honoring Women on March 8th in Ramadan 2025

On this special day, we arranged a heartfelt program dedicated to Muslim women who were fasting. We gathered in mosques and community centers, where we recited the Quran, made du’a, and reflected on the elevated status of women in Islam. The evening concluded with a communal Iftar, where we shared traditional meals and treated our sisters in faith to local sweets as a token of appreciation.

One of the women attending our event in Lebanon, Sister Aisha, expressed her joy, saying:

“Today, we not only celebrate our role as women but also as believers who are blessed to fast for the sake of Allah. In Islam, we are not just valued—we are honored. This Ramadan, as we gather for Iftar, we pray for the well-being of all women, especially those in hardship. May Allah grant us strength and patience.”

Another sister, Fatima from Palestine, shared her gratitude:

“Living under occupation is difficult, but faith and community give us strength. On this Women’s Day, we were reminded that in Islam, a woman’s worth is not defined by worldly standards but by her devotion, kindness, and resilience. May Allah bless all who support women, especially in these times of need.”

The Elevated Status of Women in Islam

Islam grants women a respected and dignified position, emphasizing their rights and responsibilities. The Quran and Hadith highlight the importance of women as mothers, daughters, wives, and contributors to society. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

“The best of you are those who are best to their women.” (Tirmidhi)

As part of our charity’s mission, we prioritize assisting women, ensuring they have access to nutritious Suhoor and Iftar meals, hygiene essentials, and spiritual gatherings where they can find solace and support.

A Prayer for Our Crypto Donors and Supporters

This Ramadan, we continue to witness the generosity of our donors, including those contributing through cryptocurrency donations, making it easier for us to extend our reach. On this blessed occasion, as we broke our fast together, we collectively raised our hands in du’a:

“O Allah, bless those who give for Your sake. Multiply their rewards, ease their burdens, and grant them the joy of seeing their kindness transform lives. Accept their zakat and sadaqah, and make it a means of barakah in this life and the hereafter. Ameen.”

Moving Forward: Strengthening Support for Women

As we progress through Ramadan 2025, Our Islamic Charity remains committed to empowering women through Islamic values. We will continue organizing iftar gatherings, distributing meals, and providing sustainable aid for women in need.

This Women’s Day was a reminder that Islam has always championed the rights of women—not just in words, but in action. By supporting and uplifting one another, we fulfill a divine duty that brings us closer to Allah.

May Allah bless all women, reward our donors abundantly, and allow us to continue serving for His sake. Ramadan Mubarak!

Charity and Faith in Ramadan

Ramadan 2025 has brought with it many blessings, but today, we want to share a story of one of the most dedicated individuals in our Islamic charity. Halima, a humble yet extraordinary cook, has been preparing meals for the needy for eight years without seeking recognition. Her story is one of unwavering faith, selflessness, and an unshakable belief in Allah’s rewards.

A Life Devoted to Feeding the Fasting

Halima was born in Syria and has spent her life serving others. Despite the turmoil that has engulfed her homeland, she remained steadfast in her mission—to ensure that no fasting Muslim in her community goes to bed hungry. Now, at 57 years old, she still approaches every Ramadan with the same passion as when she first joined us.

For years, Halima refused to have her photo taken or her name published, believing that her reward lies solely with Allah. When we asked her why she was so strict in reporting her activities, she recited this verse from the Quran to us in her native language, Arabic, and we all enjoyed the power of her faith and learned from her:

Allah Sees Even the Hidden Acts of Charity

إِن تُبْدُوا الصَّدَقَاتِ فَنِعِمَّا هِيَ ۖ وَإِن تُخْفُوهَا وَتُؤْتُوهَا الْفُقَرَاءَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۚ وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنكُم مِّن سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ

“If you disclose your charity, it is good, but if you conceal it and give it to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds. And Allah is Aware of what you do.”— Surah Al-Baqarah (2:271)

But this year, she agreed to allow us to share her story—so that others may be inspired by her devotion. One single photo was taken of her(Photo at the beginning of the text), capturing her in action, preparing iftar for Palestinian Muslims with the same warmth and sincerity that she has always shown.

Cooking for the Needy: A Mission of Faith

In the westernmost part of Syria, near the border with Palestine, Halima works in a kitchen that she equipped herself. Every day, she and her team prepare nearly 400 Suhoor and Iftar meals for fasting Muslims in Syria and Palestine. The conditions are challenging—limited resources, long hours, and the heavy weight of responsibility—but Halima’s faith never wavers.

She often tells us that cooking for the needy is her form of worship. The aroma of freshly cooked meals, the steam rising from the pots, and the sound of utensils clinking against metal bowls are, for her, reminders of Allah’s mercy. Every grain of rice, every loaf of bread, and every bowl of soup she prepares is infused with sincerity and love.

The Impact of Your Donations

Halima’s efforts are made possible by the generosity of donors like you. With every cryptocurrency donation, we are able to provide more meals, purchase better ingredients, and expand our reach. As an Islamic charity, we ensure that every donation is distributed according to Islamic Sharia, supporting those who need it most.

This Ramadan, as we fast and reflect, let us remember Halima and the countless others who dedicate their lives to serving the Ummah. Your contributions help us continue this mission, providing Suhoor and Iftar meals to those in Syria and Palestine who rely on this charity for survival.

Join Us in Rewarding Acts of Kindness

Halima’s story is one of quiet sacrifice, but her impact is loud and clear. She has shown us that true charity comes from the heart, expecting nothing in return except the pleasure of Allah. If you are inspired by her dedication, you can be a part of this noble mission.

Donate today and help us continue providing for the needy. Together, we can ensure that every fasting Muslim has the chance to break their fast with dignity and ease.

May Allah bless Halima, her team, and all those who contribute to this beautiful act of charity. Ramadan Mubarak!

Best Charity is That Given in Ramadan

Ramadan is a sacred month in which fasting is prescribed for all Muslims who are able to observe it. It is not just a time of abstaining from food and drink but a period of spiritual purification, heightened devotion, and acts of generosity. One of the most rewarding acts in this blessed month is giving Zakat, which helps support those in need and strengthens the bonds of the Muslim Ummah.

Allah says in the Quran: “And establish prayer and give Zakat, and whatever good you put forward for yourselves—you will find it with Allah. Indeed, Allah is All-Seeing of what you do.” (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:110)

As an Islamic obligation, Zakat is a pillar of Islam, and its significance is even greater in Ramadan. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of giving during this month:

“The best charity is that given in Ramadan.” (Tirmidhi)

The Importance of Zakat in Ramadan 2025

Zakat during Ramadan holds immense spiritual rewards, as deeds performed in this blessed month are multiplied many times over. By donating, we not only purify our wealth but also ensure that our fellow Muslims have enough to eat for Suhoor and Iftar. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, he will have a reward like theirs, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.” (Tirmidhi)

At Our Islamic Charity, we believe in fulfilling this obligation in the best possible way. In Ramadan 2025, we plan to cook 40,000 Suhoor and Iftar meals and distribute dry food packages to needy families, allowing them to observe fasting with dignity and ease. See the programs of Ramadan Al-Karim 2025.

How Your Zakat Helps the Needy in Ramadan 2025

With just a few days of Ramadan passed(Report March 6, 2025), we present a detailed report of how the Zakat we received has already been distributed:

  • Cooking 4,800 Iftar and Suhoor meals for the needy in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, including Palestine, Lebanon, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
  • Preparing 2,200 dry food packages, including essential items like oil, grains, wheat flour, rice, sugar, dates, and tea, ensuring that fasting Muslims have the necessary sustenance.
  • Paying off debts for families struggling financially by covering essential household expenses such as water, electricity, gas, and medical bills.

The impact of these efforts is profound, and with your continued support, we aim to reach even more families before the month ends.

Crypto Zakat: Donating to Charity Wallets Directly

With advancements in technology, donating Zakat has become easier and more efficient. Many Muslims now choose to send Crypto Zakat directly to charity wallets, ensuring instant transactions without intermediaries. This method allows for greater transparency, security, and direct impact, making it a viable way to fulfill your Islamic obligation while supporting those in need.

Allah commands us:

“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)

The Blessings of Giving in Ramadan

Ramadan is a time of blessings, mercy, and forgiveness. It is an opportunity to share our wealth with those less fortunate and earn Allah’s favor. The Prophet (peace be upon him) reminded us:

“Wealth is not diminished by giving in charity. Rather, it is increased, and Allah raises the humble.” (Muslim)

By contributing your Zakat to Our Islamic Charity, you ensure that struggling Muslim families have food on their table for Suhoor and Iftar. This not only relieves their hardship but also strengthens the spirit of unity in our Ummah.

See the Impact of Your Donations

We invite you to witness how your Zakat is making a difference. We have captured moments of Iftar distributions, food package preparations, and heartfelt gratitude from those receiving your support.

Join us in making Ramadan 2025 a month of blessings for everyone. Your Zakat is more than just a donation—it is a means of fulfilling a sacred duty, uplifting the less fortunate, and securing eternal rewards from Allah.

May Allah accept our fasts, prayers, and Zakat, and may He grant ease to all those in need. Ameen.
