Islamic Philanthropy Through Blockchain

Ramadan 2025 is fast approaching, and at Our Islamic Charity, we are once again preparing to serve the fasting believers who rely on us for their daily sustenance. This year, we have taken a major step forward by securing 1,100 kilograms of meat to ensure that thousands of needy Muslims can enjoy nutritious iftar and suhoor meals. This initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to serving the less fortunate across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean region.

Ensuring Quality and Compliance with Islamic Sharia

To uphold the highest standards of hygiene and Islamic regulations, we have carefully selected and purchased about 50 sheep and goats. Each animal was examined by expert veterinarians before being slaughtered in accordance with Islamic Sharia and ethical guidelines. This rigorous process ensures that the meat is pure (halal) and of the highest quality for those observing the sacred fast.

Once the animals were slaughtered, the meat was divided into two essential portions.

  • The first portion was hygienically packaged and stored in cold storage at our charity kitchens. This meat will be used to prepare nourishing iftar meals for fasting individuals throughout the holy month.
  • The second portion was distributed directly to impoverished families before the start of Ramadan. This allowed them to prepare for the blessed month, ensuring that they could enjoy homemade suhoor and iftar with their loved ones.

By following strict hygiene standards and working with skilled professionals, we guarantee that every meal prepared in our kitchens is safe, nutritious, and satisfying. You can Qurbani in Ramadan now from here.

This approach helps us maximize our resources and serve as many people as possible. Our work does not end with just meat distribution; we also focus on ensuring that families receive staple food items, including rice, lentils, and cooking oil, so they can prepare wholesome meals at home. For example:
900 Kilos of Corn for Ramadan Iftar 2025
Purchasing 4 Tons of Flour for Iftar for the Needy in Ramadan 2025

Aiming for 40,000 Iftar and Suhoor Meals

Our team of nutrition experts has carefully calculated the amount of food required to sustain our kitchens in Asian and African countries. Based on their estimates, the 1,100 kilograms of meat we secured will be sufficient to prepare meals until the middle of Ramadan. However, we anticipate that our current supply will run out, and we are in urgent need of additional funding to purchase more meat, rice, and essential food items to sustain operations until the end of the holy month.

Despite the challenges, we firmly place our trust in Allah and in the generosity of our donors. In past years, through faith and collective effort, we have overcome similar hurdles, ensuring that the needy do not go hungry. This Ramadan, we have set an ambitious goal: to cook and distribute 40,000 meals for iftar and suhoor. This is only possible with the support of generous hearts like yours.

Suhoor and Iftar Meals for Needy Muslims

Ramadan is a time of reflection, devotion, and generosity. As we prepare for Ramadan 2025, our priority remains clear: to provide nourishing Suhoor and Iftar meals to the needy while also strengthening the economic cycle of struggling families. One of our recent initiatives has been the purchase of 900 kilos of corn from local farmers, ensuring that both the farming community and those in need benefit from this charitable project.

The Importance of Corn in Ramadan Meals

Corn is a versatile grain that holds an important place in many traditional dishes across the Muslim world. With its ability to be transformed into a variety of meals, salads, and desserts, it is a staple ingredient for Iftar. Some beloved Muslim desserts made from corn include:

  • Basbousa – A semolina and corn flour cake soaked in syrup, often flavored with coconut or rose water.
  • Atayef – Small pancakes filled with sweetened cream or nuts, sometimes made with a touch of corn flour for extra texture.
  • Corn Pudding (Mihallabiya) – A smooth and creamy dessert made with corn flour, milk, and sugar, topped with nuts or cinnamon.
  • Sweet Corn Soup – A light and nourishing appetizer, perfect for breaking the fast before the main meal.

By incorporating corn into Iftar, we provide a nutrient-rich ingredient that can be prepared in various forms to satisfy different dietary needs and cultural tastes.

Strengthening the Local Economy Through Charity

At ‘Our Islamic Charity,’ we are committed to ethical sourcing. That’s why we prioritize purchasing from local farmers, many of whom struggle with financial instability. By buying corn from them at a fair price, we not only support their families but also create a positive economic impact within the community.

The purchase of 900 kilos of corn was a moment of joy and relief for these farmers, who often face difficulties in selling their crops at sustainable rates. Our initiative directly contributes to improving their livelihoods, ensuring they can continue their work with dignity and hope.

From Farm to Iftar: The Journey of Giving

The process of transforming this corn into nourishing meals was truly inspiring. A portion of the corn was milled into flour using traditional water mills, an initiative undertaken by devoted Muslim volunteers who participated with enthusiasm. Witnessing their dedication to serving those who fast during Ramadan was one of the most touching aspects of this project.

Once processed, the corn and its flour were carefully packaged and distributed to our charity kitchens. These essential ingredients will now be turned into warm, hearty dishes for Suhoor and Iftar, providing sustenance to those who need it most. The entire journey—from the hands of the farmers to the tables of the needy—was driven by the spirit of Islamic generosity and communal support.

Supporting War-Torn Countries in Ramadan 2025

As we enter Ramadan 2025, we must be more attentive to the needs of our brothers and sisters in war-torn countries. As Muslims, we have a duty to care for one another, as Allah says in the Quran:

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

In this blessed month, ‘Our Islamic Charity’ will continue focusing on the war-torn countries of Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen. Many of our fellow Muslims in these regions are displaced and struggling to fulfill their religious duties. We will strive to provide them with the support they need to observe fasting with dignity and sustenance. We also ask them to pray for all Muslims around the world, as we stand together in faith and compassion.

Your Crypto Donations Make a Difference

With your support, we will continue to uplift communities, strengthen economies, and provide essential sustenance to those who rely on us. Let’s come together to make Ramadan 2025 a time of even greater giving and compassion.

Serving Iftar and Suhoor to Those in Need

Ramadan is a time of devotion, self-discipline, and generosity. As millions of Muslims around the world observe fasting from dawn to sunset, the need for safe, hygienic, and efficient kitchen operations becomes even more crucial. At Our Islamic Charity, we understand the responsibility that comes with preparing Iftar and Suhoor for the needy. Our commitment to kitchen hygiene and safety is unwavering, and we take extra precautions to ensure that every meal we serve meets the highest standards.

The Importance of Kitchen Hygiene and Safety During Ramadan

In any kitchen, hygiene and safety are fundamental, but during Ramadan, they become even more critical. The intensity of food preparation increases, and the cooks, who are themselves fasting, require a comfortable and well-organized working environment.

We have developed a structured kitchen hygiene and safety checklist that we review every three months across all our charity kitchens. However, as Ramadan approaches, we enforce stricter measures to accommodate the increased demand and ensure that our kitchens operate smoothly.

Some of the essential aspects of our kitchen hygiene protocols include:

  • Strict Food Handling Procedures: Ensuring that all ingredients are properly washed, stored, and prepared following hygiene standards.
  • Personal Hygiene for Staff: Regular handwashing, use of gloves, and clean uniforms for all cooks and kitchen staff.
  • Safe Cooking Practices: Monitoring food temperatures, preventing cross-contamination, and ensuring proper food storage.
  • Regular Equipment and Facility Inspections: Checking stoves, ovens, refrigerators, and all utensils to ensure functionality and cleanliness.

Preparing for Ramadan: A Detailed Checklist

Since the volume of food prepared for Iftar and Suhoor significantly increases during Ramadan, we take additional steps to ensure our operations run smoothly.

1. Reviewing Kitchen Conditions and Safety Measures

Before Ramadan begins, we conduct a comprehensive review of our kitchens, identifying areas that need improvement. Our team double-checks food storage facilities, ventilation, and overall cleanliness to prevent any issues that may arise during peak cooking hours.

2. Training and Briefing for Kitchen Staff

To ensure that everyone is prepared, we organize training sessions for our kitchen staff. These sessions focus on food hygiene, safety precautions, and effective meal preparation techniques. Since our cooks are fasting themselves, we emphasize time management and ways to maintain energy levels while working long hours.

3. Optimizing Meal Plans Based on Suhoor and Iftar Timing

Precise timing is crucial when preparing meals for Suhoor and Iftar. We create structured meal plans that align with fasting hours, ensuring that food is ready and served fresh at the correct times. Our menus are designed to provide balanced nutrition, keeping in mind the needs of those fasting.

4. Assessing Food and Equipment Requirements

With an increased demand for food during Ramadan, we stock up on essential ingredients in advance. We ensure that all kitchen equipment is in optimal condition to handle large-scale meal preparations efficiently.

Ramadan 2025: Continuing Our Mission to Serve the Needy

As we approach Ramadan 2025, we have already begun preparations to ensure that our operations are well-organized and effective. Our goal remains the same—to serve Iftar and Suhoor to those in need with dignity and care. Through meticulous planning and unwavering dedication, we strive to make Ramadan a time of nourishment and hope for the less fortunate.

Your support can make a difference. By donating cryptocurrency or giving zakat in Ramadan, you can help us reach even more people in need. Together, we can uphold the true spirit of Ramadan—compassion, generosity, and community.

May Allah bless everyone who contributes to feeding the fasting and ensure that our efforts bring comfort to those in need. Let us continue to serve with sincerity and dedication in Ramadan 2025 and beyond.

Preparing for Ramadan: A Month-Long Effort

As an Islamic charity, we consider it our sacred duty to help the needy and poor, as commanded by the Quran. This Ramadan, we reaffirm our commitment to feeding the less fortunate by preparing meals for Iftar and Suhoor. With careful planning and unwavering dedication, we ensure that those in need have access to warm, nutritious food during this holy month.

Every year, we begin preparations 30 days before Ramadan, ensuring that everything is in place for our large-scale Iftar and Suhoor programs. This involves equipping our kitchens, securing essential ingredients, and organizing our team of volunteers. One of the most important steps in this process is obtaining high-quality wheat flour, which serves as the foundation for many traditional dishes.

This year, we have successfully purchased 4 tons of flour, which has been distributed among 10 kitchens across the Middle East, the Mediterranean region, and Central Africa. With this essential ingredient, we are fully prepared to provide wholesome and culturally appropriate meals to thousands of people in need.

Flour: The Heart of Iftar and Suhoor

Flour-based dishes are a staple in many cultures, making it an invaluable resource for our Ramadan meal programs. With just wheat flour dough, we can prepare a variety of nutritious and comforting dishes tailored to regional preferences. From samosa, fatayer, and manakish in the Middle East to khobz, chapati, and luqaimat in Africa, this simple ingredient allows us to create meals that nourish both body and soul.

By focusing on traditional recipes, we ensure that every Iftar and Suhoor is not only fulfilling but also deeply familiar and comforting to those we serve. This variety also helps us cater to different dietary needs, making sure that our meals remain inclusive and accessible to all.

Bitcoin Donation: Powering Charitable Efforts in Ramadan 2025

One of the most remarkable aspects of this year’s Ramadan preparations is how we acquired the 4 tons of flour—through Bitcoin donations. The growing acceptance of cryptocurrency for humanitarian efforts has allowed us to expand our reach and enhance the efficiency of our charity work. In previous years, we primarily relied on stablecoins for transactions, but now, we are seeing Bitcoin becoming a more direct and viable method for aiding the needy.

We bought with a food supplier via Bitcoin. Your donated Bitcoins enabled us to purchase 4 tons of flour for Ramadan.

This milestone marks a significant shift in how “crypto for good” is evolving from a mere slogan to a tangible reality. Through your generous Bitcoin donations, we have been able to purchase essential food supplies that will directly impact the lives of those who rely on us. Your support has not only helped us feed the hungry but has also demonstrated the true potential of cryptocurrency as a force for positive change.

Gratitude and Blessings for Ramadan 2025

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our donors whose contributions make this initiative possible. May Allah bless you abundantly for your generosity and reward you for every meal that brings comfort to a fasting soul. As we move forward with our Iftar and Suhoor programs, we invite more donors to join us in this mission. Your support, whether through Bitcoin donations or other forms of charity, ensures that we can continue to provide for those in need.

This Ramadan, let’s come together to make a difference. Let’s transform our intentions into action, our donations into sustenance, and our compassion into lasting impact. May Allah bless us all in this sacred month and beyond.

Help Palestine: Cryptocurrency Aid for Humanitarian Crisis Relief

The dawn of January 2025 brought a fragile ceasefire to Palestine, ending months of relentless conflict and destruction. Families who had been displaced began their journey back to what was once home, only to face a harrowing reality: there is no city to return to, just remnants of lives torn apart. The once vibrant neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble, leaving behind a landscape of despair and ruin.

Returning to Ruins: Life in a Shattered City

Imagine walking into a city where the streets are no longer streets, and homes are barely recognizable piles of rubble. Families who once lived comfortably now find themselves wandering through what remains of their past lives. Without water, electricity, or gas, even basic necessities feel out of reach.

Kitchens lie in ruins, and there’s no food to prepare even if they were functional. The air is heavy with the chill of winter, and the nights are colder than ever. Warm clothes are scarce, often worn and unclean, while bathing facilities are nearly non-existent, forcing families to endure long queues for rationed water.

Surviving the Harsh Winter Without Essentials

Winter has brought unimaginable suffering to the people of Gaza. Gaza is one of the eastern regions of Palestine that has suffered serious damage. Without heating, families huddle together under what little they have to fight the biting cold. The absence of clean water has made daily life a constant struggle. Simple needs like bathing, cooking, and washing have turned into insurmountable challenges, leaving many vulnerable to illness. Warmth is a luxury few can afford, and humanitarian aid, though a lifeline, is far from sufficient to meet the overwhelming needs.

A Call for Compassion and Action

The Urgent Need for Clean Water, Dry Food, and Warm Clothes

The people of Gaza face an uphill battle. With no homes to return to, no safe water to drink, and no steady supply of food, life here is a constant test of resilience. Yet, even in the face of such devastation, there is hope. Together, we can extend a helping hand and offer urgent aid to ease their suffering. By donating essentials such as warm clothes, food, and funds for emergency shelters, we can make a tangible difference in their lives.

This winter, let us stand together as a global community. The people of Gaza need us now more than ever. Your contribution, no matter how small, can help rebuild not just homes but also lives. Let’s turn compassion into action and ensure that no family is left to face this harsh reality alone.

Our Services: A Commitment to Humanity

Our Islamic Charity has been active in various regions, providing essential services to those in need. In Gaza, we are focusing on delivering clean water, dry food, and warm clothing—the most urgent needs right now. But our work doesn’t stop there. We are also setting up emergency shelters, distributing hygiene kits, and providing medical aid to those injured or ill. Our goal is to address both the immediate and long-term needs of the communities we serve.

In addition to Gaza, we are working in other parts of Palestine and beyond, offering humanitarian aid to those affected by conflict and natural disasters. Whether it’s building emergency shelters, providing clean water, or distributing food packs, our mission is to alleviate suffering and restore dignity to those who have lost everything.

The Path Forward: Rebuilding Lives and Communities

The road to recovery for Gaza and other war-torn regions is long and fraught with challenges. The United Nations estimates that rebuilding Gaza alone could cost over $80 billion, with clearing the 50 million tons of rubble potentially taking decades. But while the task is daunting, it is not impossible. With your support, we can help rebuild lives and communities, one step at a time.

Your donations—whether in traditional currency or cryptocurrency—can provide the resources needed to make a real difference. Together, we can ensure that families in Gaza and beyond have access to clean water, nutritious food, warm clothing, and safe shelter. We can help them rebuild their homes, their lives, and their futures.

At Our Islamic Charity, we are committed to providing urgent aid to the people of Gaza. Together, we can deliver clean water, warm clothes, and food aid to those who need it most. Let’s act now to bring relief to our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Every donation counts.
