Fulfilling Your Zakat and Sadaqah Obligations: Why a 100% Donation Policy Matters

In Islam, charity is more than just good deeds; it’s a fundamental pillar of our faith. We are called to share our blessings with those less fortunate, purifying our wealth and fostering a more just society. But how can we ensure our charitable giving aligns with Islamic principles? This is where the concept of a 100% donation policy comes into play, offering a transparent and accountable approach to managing your Zakat and Sadaqah.

Understanding Zakat and Sadaqah: Fulfilling Your Religious Duty

Zakat, one of the Five Pillars of Islam, is a mandatory form of charity that entails giving a fixed percentage (typically 2.5%) of your eligible wealth to those in need. Sadaqah, on the other hand, is voluntary charity, allowing you to donate any amount you wish. Both Zakat and Sadaqah hold immense significance, promoting social responsibility and fostering compassion within the Muslim community.

However, fulfilling these obligations extends beyond simply giving money away. Islamic jurisprudence outlines specific guidelines regarding who qualifies to receive Zakat and Sadaqah, as well as the permissible uses for these funds. These guidelines ensure that your charitable contributions provide the most benefit to those who truly need them.

Who Receives Zakat and Sadaqah?

The categories of those eligible to receive Zakat are clearly defined in the Quran and Hadith. These include the poor and needy, those in debt, travelers stranded without provisions, those fighting in the سبيل الله ( سبيل الله – Cause of Allah), those converting to Islam, and those whose hearts need to be reconciled (to Islam).

Sadaqah, being voluntary, offers more flexibility in terms of recipients. You can donate to any worthy cause that aligns with your charitable intentions, be it supporting educational initiatives, providing food and shelter for the homeless, or aiding victims of natural disasters.

Ensuring Transparency and Accountability: The Importance of a 100% Donation Policy

At our Islamic Charity Institution, we understand the importance of upholding the highest ethical standards when it comes to managing your Zakat and Sadaqah contributions. That’s why we have implemented a strict 100% donation policy. This means that every single Satoshi you donate reaches those in need, with no deductions taken for administrative or operational costs.

We are Muslims and we know that in Islam it is forbidden(Haram – حرام) to spend from zakat, sadaqah(charity) and donation other than the things that are mentioned in Islamic orders and Islamic jurisprudence.

We recognize the concerns some may have regarding the management of Zakat and Sadaqah funds. The question arises: how can administrative costs be covered without taking from these donations? Here, we want to assure you that we have established sustainable financial practices to ensure the smooth operation of our charity. These practices may include fundraising initiatives, endowment funds, and income-generating activities that adhere to Islamic principles.

By adopting a 100% donation policy, we not only fulfill the religious obligation of Zakat and Sadaqah in its purest form, but also build trust and transparency with our donors. You can be confident that your charitable contributions are being used exactly as intended, with maximum impact on those who need them most. You can go to the projects section and read all kinds of active projects of our Islamic charity organization, or you can go to the reports section and read the reports of crypto activities and spending.

Navigating the Modern Landscape: Crypto Donations and Fulfilling Your Obligations

The world of finance is constantly evolving, and the emergence of cryptocurrency has presented a new avenue for charitable giving. Our Islamic Charity Institution embraces this innovation, allowing you to fulfill your Zakat and Sadaqah obligations using your crypto holdings.

However, it’s important to acknowledge the unique considerations surrounding crypto donations. Since the concept of cryptocurrency is relatively new, Islamic scholars are actively engaged in discourse to determine the most appropriate way to handle Zakat and Sadaqah in this context. We have followed these instructions and designed a crypto zakat calculator for you and you can calculate your zakat based on both crypto and fiat from here.

Understanding the Permissible Uses of Crypto Zakat and Sadaqah

While the specific regulations for crypto Zakat and Sadaqah are still under development, some general principles can be applied based on existing Islamic jurisprudence. The core principle remains the same: your crypto donations must be used for the benefit of those who qualify under the established categories for Zakat and Sadaqah recipients.

Here at our Islamic Charity Institution, we take a cautious yet progressive approach. We strive to utilize cutting-edge technology while remaining firmly grounded in Islamic principles. When you donate cryptocurrency to us, we make every effort to convert it into fiat currency (traditional money) to be used for approved charitable causes. The use of fiat is much more common in less developed countries and we will convert your donated crypto into fiat of the same country and spend it on projects to help the needy.

This ensures that your Zakat and Sadaqah reach those in need in a way that is aligned with Islamic teachings. We are constantly monitoring developments in the cryptocurrency landscape and working with Islamic scholars to refine our approach as necessary.

Fulfilling Your Zakat and Sadaqah Obligations with Confidence

By choosing a charity that adheres to a 100% donation policy and embraces new forms of giving like crypto donations, you can be confident that your charitable contributions are making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most. You are fulfilling your religious obligations with transparency, accountability, and a commitment to following Islamic principles.

Our Islamic Charity Institution is here to partner with you on your journey of charitable giving. We offer a secure platform for donating Zakat and Sadaqah, be it through traditional methods or innovative avenues like cryptocurrency. We are dedicated to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring your donations reach those who deserve them the most.

Let us join hands in building a more just and compassionate world, one charitable act at a time. Contact us today to learn more about how you can fulfill your Zakat and Sadaqah obligations with confidence.

Widows’ Day: Building Strength and Community

International Widows’ Day, observed annually on June 23rd, is a significant event that recognizes the challenges faced by widows around the globe. Established in 2010 by the United Nations, this day aims to raise awareness about the injustices and hardships widows endure, particularly in societies with strong traditional structures.

We, at our Islamic charity, are dedicated to supporting widows and recognize the immense strength they possess. International Widows’ Day provides a valuable platform for us to come together and uplift these remarkable women.

A Day of Remembrance, Connection, and Solidarity

On this special day, we host a gathering specifically for women who have lost their husbands. The pain of losing a spouse is undeniable, but for many widows, this loss is compounded by the additional burden of becoming the sole head of their household. They are entrusted with raising their children single-handedly, facing financial difficulties, and navigating societal expectations that may have previously been shouldered by their husbands.

Over the years, we’ve witnessed countless examples of widows demonstrating incredible resilience and leadership. We’ve seen women rise to the challenge of caring for families of seven or eight people, their strength an inspiration to all. International Widows’ Day provides a space for these women to share their experiences, connect with others who understand their struggles, and build a powerful sense of solidarity.

A Story of Shared Strength: From Widows to Greenhouse Partners

The power of connection fostered at our gatherings is beautifully exemplified by a story from our 2023 event. Four Pakistani widows, all heads of their households, met for the first time. As they shared their experiences, they discovered a surprising commonality – a passion for greenhouse and hydroponic agriculture. This shared knowledge and enthusiasm sparked an incredible collaboration. Inspired and motivated by their newfound connection, they decided to join forces and build a joint hydroponic greenhouse. We will definitely prepare a report on this unique project that happened with your help as crypto donors and tell you the story of these 4 women.

This remarkable story highlights the transformative potential of International Widows’ Day. It’s a day that transcends grief and loss, fostering a space for women to connect, share their strengths, and find support in each other. By fostering this sense of community, we equip widows with the tools they need to not only survive but to thrive, becoming not just heads of households but also agents of positive change within their communities.

Join Us in Supporting Widows

International Widows’ Day is a powerful reminder of the importance of standing by widows. Whether through financial assistance, educational opportunities, or simply providing a space for connection, we can all play a role in making a difference. We invite you to join us in our mission to support widows. Together, we can help them navigate their challenges, build brighter futures for themselves and their families, and create a more just and equitable world for all.

Eid al-Adha 2024: Spreading Joy and Sustenance Through Sacrifice

Eid al-Adha, a cornerstone of Islamic tradition symbolizing sacrifice and compassion, was observed with immense dedication in 2024. This report highlights how your generous contributions, including those made through innovative cryptocurrency donations, translated into tangible relief and moments of joy for vulnerable communities across the globe. We aimed to not only provide essential sustenance but also to uphold the dignity and celebrate the spirit of Eid for those facing hardship.

Eid al-Adha 2024: Sharing Blessings with Crypto Donations

Eid al-Adha, the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is a time for Muslims around the world to come together, celebrate, and share their bounty with those less fortunate. This year, thanks to the generosity of our incredible donors, including those who embraced the innovation of cryptocurrency donations, we were able to make a significant difference in the lives of many in need.

This report details our Eid al-Adha 2024 activities and the impact of your contributions. At the beginning of Dhul-Hijjah 2024, in another article, we explained our goal to achieve the distribution of meat in Eid al-Adha 2024, which you can read here.

Distributing Hope Through Food

Through your donations, we were able to secure a total of 317 kilos of sacrificial meat. This meat was then distributed strategically to maximize its impact.

  • Hot Meals for the Hungry: 120 kilos of meat were used to prepare hot meals in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Yemen. During this Eid al-Adha, these meals provided nourishment and a sense of celebration to over 2,800 people in need.
  • Delivering Raw Meat Packages: The remaining 197 kilos were distributed as raw meat in sanitary packages across Afghanistan, Palestine, and Syria. This method ensured families could prepare meals according to their traditions and dietary needs.

    A Focus on Afghanistan: A Beacon of Hope Amidst Crisis

A significant portion of our efforts were directed towards Afghanistan, a country reeling from the devastating floods of 2024. These floods destroyed over 8,000 homes, displacing countless families and creating a desperate need for humanitarian aid. Your contributions helped ensure these displaced communities received the vital protein source of sacrificial meat during Eid al-Adha.

The Rewards of Charity

The Quran, in Surah Al-Hajj [22:36-37], beautifully captures the essence of sacrifice during Eid al-Adha:

“And the camels and cattle We have appointed for you as among the symbols of Allah ; for you therein is good. So mention the name of Allah upon them when lined up [for sacrifice]; and when they are [lifeless] on their sides, then eat from them and feed the needy and the beggar. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may be grateful. Their meat will not reach Allah , nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and give good tidings to the doers of good.”

This verse emphasizes that the true value of sacrifice lies in our devotion to Allah and our compassion for those less fortunate. The meat itself is not the offering, but a symbol of our willingness to share our blessings.

Gratitude and a Vision for the Future

We extend our deepest gratitude to all our donors, including those who embraced the convenience and transparency of cryptocurrency donations, for their unwavering commitment to alleviating suffering and promoting human dignity. Your generosity has enabled us to bring hope and sustenance to vulnerable communities during Eid al-Adha.

Looking Forward

As we move beyond Eid al-Adha, the need for food security remains a pressing issue in many parts of the world. Your continued support, through traditional or innovative methods like cryptocurrency donations, allows us to make a lasting difference. If you missed the Thawab(reward) of this year’s Eid al-Adha sacrifice and want to participate in the Thawab of Qurbani, we have ongoing active Qurbani projects throughout the year that you can participate in here. We look forward to partnering with you again in future endeavors to ensure everyone has access to the basic necessities of life.

Empowering Families: The Building Blocks of a Brighter Future

The holy Quran reminds us that those who spend their wealth in Allah’s way “will not fear nor grieve, and those who hoard their wealth and do not spend it in Allah’s way – for them is a severe punishment.” (Quran 3:180) Charity, or Zakat, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, a core principle of our faith. But the act of giving extends far beyond fulfilling a religious obligation. Donating to those in need, especially in less developed countries, has a profound ripple effect that empowers families, strengthens communities, and fosters economic growth.

Here at Our Islamic Charity, we believe in the transformative power of giving. By leveraging the ease and transparency of cryptocurrency donations, we can reach those most in need and create lasting positive change.

Crypto Donations for a Better World

Imagine a family living in a community ravaged by poverty. They struggle to put food on the table, access clean water, or send their children to school. A single donation, big or small, can be the lifeline that changes everything.

Crypto donations can provide families with:

  • Essential needs: Food, water, and shelter are the foundation for a healthy and productive life. Your donation can help families access these basic necessities, allowing them to focus on building a better future. You can click to donate crypto for food aid.
  • Education: Education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Donations can help cover school fees, uniforms, and learning materials, ensuring children have the opportunity to learn and reach their full potential. You can click to donate crypto for education.
  • Healthcare: A medical emergency can cripple a family’s finances. Crypto donations can provide access to critical healthcare services, preventing illness from derailing their progress. You can click here to donate crypto for healthcare.

By meeting these basic needs, we empower families to invest in their future. Parents can focus on finding work or starting businesses, knowing their children are safe and healthy. This newfound stability allows them to dream bigger and contribute to their communities.

Building Strong Communities: United We Stand

The impact of your donation extends beyond the individual family. When multiple families are empowered, a ripple effect takes place, strengthening the entire community.

  • Economic Growth: As families gain financial stability, they become active participants in the local economy. They can start small businesses, buy goods from local vendors, and contribute to the overall economic health of the community.
  • Infrastructure Development: With increased resources, communities can invest in infrastructure projects such as roads, wells, and schools. This improves the quality of life for everyone and attracts further investment.
  • Social Cohesion: When basic needs are met, and opportunities are available, communities become more stable and peaceful. People are more likely to work together for the common good, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration.

By supporting families, we create a domino effect of positive change. Stronger communities are better equipped to tackle challenges, create new opportunities, and offer a brighter future for generations to come.

A Global Impact: Reducing Poverty, One Donation at a Time

The world is interconnected. Poverty and instability in one region can have far-reaching consequences. By donating to less developed countries, we contribute to global security and prosperity.

  • Reduced Immigration: When communities have the resources they need to thrive, people are less likely to feel compelled to leave their homes in search of a better life. This reduces the burden on developed nations struggling with mass migration. We have seen this cycle time and time again at our Islamic charity and we guarantee that your generous crypto donation will break the cycle of indiscriminate immigration.
  • Improved Global Health: Poverty and lack of access to healthcare contribute to the spread of infectious diseases. By empowering communities, we can improve global health outcomes and create a safer world for everyone.
  • Promoting Peace and Stability: Poverty and desperation are breeding grounds for conflict. By alleviating poverty and fostering economic growth, we can promote peace and stability on a global scale.

Your crypto donation, no matter the size, is a powerful tool for positive change. By empowering families and strengthening communities, we can create a ripple effect that uplifts entire regions and contributes to a more just and peaceful world.

Join us at Our Islamic Charity and let’s make a difference together.

Bridging the Digital Divide: How Crypto Donations Can Empower Lives

Imagine a world where a simple phone call to a loved one is a luxury, internet access a distant dream, and education a privilege reserved for the fortunate few. This isn’t a scene from a dystopian novel; it’s the harsh reality for countless individuals and communities around the globe. At Our Islamic Charity, we strive to bridge this digital divide, empowering lives through the transformative power of technology.

While mobile phones, laptops, and internet access might seem commonplace in our everyday lives, their absence creates significant barriers for many. Children struggle to receive an education, families lose touch with loved ones, and opportunities for personal and professional development disappear into the digital abyss.

This is where your crypto donations come in. They become the fuel that propels individuals and communities into the digital age, unlocking a world of possibilities.

Redefining Communication: The Power of a Phone Call

Imagine a child separated from a parent by distance or conflict. A simple phone call, a voice filled with love and reassurance, can hold immense power. Yet, for those lacking access to a phone, this essential connection remains frustratingly out of reach.

Our Islamic Charity uses crypto donations to provide individuals and families with mobile phones and pre-paid calling cards. This seemingly ordinary act fosters a sense of connection, allowing families to stay in touch, migrants to connect with loved ones back home, and individuals to access essential services.

The impact extends far beyond personal communication. Phones become gateways to healthcare information, emergency services, and job opportunities. A single crypto donation can unlock a world of communication, fostering stronger communities and brighter futures.

Bridging the Knowledge Gap: Education in the Digital Age

The internet has revolutionized education, providing access to a vast library of knowledge at our fingertips. However, for those lacking internet access, this treasure trove of information remains locked away. Children fall behind, their potential stifled by a lack of resources.

Our Islamic Charity leverages crypto donations to establish internet cafes and equip educational institutions with internet connectivity. This empowers students to access online learning platforms, explore educational resources, and connect with educators and peers worldwide.

The benefits go beyond formal education. The internet opens doors to vocational training, entrepreneurship opportunities, and self-directed learning. With access to knowledge, individuals can gain the skills they need to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Empowering Potential: Virtual Education and Technology Tools

The digital revolution has not only transformed communication and education; it has also introduced a plethora of tools that can empower individuals and communities. From language learning apps to online courses on coding and graphic design, the possibilities are endless.

Our Islamic Charity uses crypto donations to provide communities with access to laptops, tablets, and educational software. This equips individuals with the tools they need to develop new skills, explore creative outlets, and participate in the digital economy.

Imagine a young girl in a remote village who discovers a passion for coding through a donated laptop. With access to online courses and mentorship programs, she can develop her skills, potentially becoming a future tech entrepreneur. This is the transformative power of crypto donations in action.

Paying the Bills of Needy Families by Donating Crypto

The impact of your crypto donations extends far beyond the initial provision of technology. By ensuring families have access to electricity, internet, and landline bills, we create a ripple effect that fosters stability and long-term empowerment. Consistent internet connectivity allows students to continue their online education even after receiving a laptop or tablet. Reliable phone lines ensure families can maintain vital communication channels, and access to electricity powers not just these tools but also essential appliances like refrigerators and lighting. This holistic approach ensures the technology provided has a lasting impact, empowering individuals and families to step into a brighter future.

A World of Opportunity at Your Fingertips

As you go about your day, take a moment to consider the things you take for granted – a quick call to a friend, a Google search for an answer, or an online course to learn a new skill. These everyday experiences are a luxury for many.

By donating cryptocurrency to Our Islamic Charity, you are playing a vital role in bridging the digital divide. Your contribution can provide the tools and resources that empower individuals and communities, transforming lives and unlocking a world of opportunity.

Remember, even the smallest donation can make a significant difference. Donate today and be a part of the change.
