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.

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).

Yemen Relief: Saving Lives in the Heart of War

Yemen is currently engulfed in one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history. As ‘Our Islamic Charity,’ we are stationed in refugee camps, striving to keep the relief routes open and provide emergency aid to the most vulnerable. Our goal is to protect the Yemeni people by keeping them as far away as possible from the war-torn cities that have become the center of conflict. Every day, we witness the heartbreaking suffering of families who have lost everything–homes, loved ones, and hope.

The Current Situation: Cities in Despair and Infrastructure in Ruins

The condition of Yemeni cities like Sana’a, Hodeidah, Taiz, and Aden is catastrophic. Years of relentless conflict have left these cities in ruins, with critical infrastructure such as water and electricity systems completely destroyed. In some areas, access to clean water and electricity has been entirely cut off, leaving families in darkness and desperation. Children and the elderly are especially vulnerable to dehydration and disease due to the lack of basic necessities.

  • In Hodeidah, a strategic port city, the destruction of infrastructure has blocked the delivery of essential food and medical supplies.
  • Taiz remains one of the most heavily contested areas, with civilians trapped in the crossfire and no access to medical care.
  • In Sana’a, the lack of electricity and clean water has worsened health conditions, leading to the spread of preventable diseases.
  • Aden, although relatively more stable, faces periodic clashes and a severe shortage of food and medicine.
  • The situation in Marib and Al Jawf is similarly dire, with continuous airstrikes forcing thousands to flee to overcrowded refugee camps.

What the Yemeni People Need Right Now

In this dire situation, the people of Yemen urgently require:

  • Clean Water and Emergency Rations: To prevent dehydration and malnutrition.
  • Medical Assistance: For the treatment of injuries and diseases caused by the war.
  • Shelter and Security: Safe zones within the camps to protect displaced families from airstrikes and violence.
  • Mental Health Support: To help trauma victims, especially women and children, cope with the horrors of war. We constantly see children in war refugee camps who suffer from nervous breakdowns and psychological panic attacks.
  • Access to Basic Sanitation and Hygiene Kits: To prevent the spread of diseases and maintain human dignity.

Our teams are on the ground, distributing emergency food packages, providing first aid, and ensuring safe shelter for displaced families. However, the needs are immense, and the situation is deteriorating rapidly. We also offer psychological support to children who have been orphaned or severely traumatized by the conflict.

The Refugee Camps: The Only Safe Haven

We have established secure zones in refugee camps, especially in the southern regions near Aden, where families receive immediate assistance and medical care. In northern regions like Sa’dah and Hodeidah, where the conflict is more intense, we are working under extreme conditions to deliver basic aid and keep the supply routes open.

The Al-Mazraq refugee camp in northern Yemen has become a critical point for shelter and medical assistance, while the camp in Al-Kharaz near Aden provides a safer environment for displaced families. Despite the harsh conditions, these camps are the only refuge for thousands of innocent civilians.

With your support, we can continue to save lives and provide emergency relief to yemenis who have lost everything in this devastating war. Your donation can help us deliver food, clean water, and medical supplies to those who need them the most. Join us in this noble cause to protect the innocent and bring hope to the oppressed people of Yemen.

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.

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.

Join Us in This Noble Mission

Ramadan is a time of mercy, generosity, and abundant blessings. Your support can make a life-changing difference for those who are struggling to find their next meal. By donating cryptocurrency or contributing in other ways, you help us provide food security to thousands of fasting individuals in dire need. You can see our plans for iftar and suhoor meals in Ramadan 2025 here.

Every meal we prepare is a beacon of hope. Every act of kindness brings us closer to Allah’s mercy. You, too, can be part of this beautiful journey of giving. Let’s come together and make Ramadan 2025 a time of relief, joy, and sustenance for those who need it the most.

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.

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.
