What We Do

Aid to Afghanistan

Afghanistan is a country that has suffered from decades of war, violence, and instability. Now, it is facing another crisis that threatens the lives and livelihoods of millions of people.

The crisis in Afghanistan is a result of several factors, including the withdrawal of foreign troops, the takeover by the Taliban, the sanctions imposed by the international community, the collapse of the economy, the disruption of humanitarian aid, and the outbreak of Covid-19. These factors have created a humanitarian emergency that requires urgent action and support.

According to some sources, more than half of the population of Afghanistan is in need of humanitarian assistance. That means more than 20 million people are facing hunger, malnutrition, displacement, insecurity, and lack of access to basic services such as health care, education, water, and sanitation. Women and children are particularly vulnerable and at risk of abuse, exploitation, and discrimination.

As Muslims, we have a duty to help our fellow human beings who are suffering and in need. Allah says in the Quran: “And whoever saves one [life] – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely.” (Al-Maidah 5:32) He also says: “And spend [in the way of Allah] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, ‘My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous.'” (Al-Munafiqun 63:10)

One of the ways we can help our brothers and sisters in Afghanistan is by donating to our islamic charity. Our islamic charity is a nonprofit organization that works to provide humanitarian aid and relief to the most vulnerable and marginalized people in Afghanistan. We have been working on the ground for many years, delivering food, water, medicine, shelter, education, and protection to those who need it most.

Our islamic charity accepts donations in cryptocurrency, which is a digital form of money that can be transferred securely and quickly over the internet. Cryptocurrency donations have many advantages over traditional forms of money, such as:

They are more accessible and inclusive for people who do not have bank accounts or access to financial services.
They are more transparent and accountable for donors who want to see how their money is used and where it goes.
They are more efficient and cost-effective for organizations who want to avoid fees, delays, and restrictions imposed by banks or governments.
They are more innovative and adaptable for situations where conventional money is not available or reliable.

By donating cryptocurrency to our islamic charity, you can make a difference in the lives of millions of people in Afghanistan. You can help them survive this crisis and rebuild their future. You can also earn rewards from Allah for your generosity and compassion.

To donate cryptocurrency to our islamic charity, you can visit our website and select your preferred cryptocurrency from the list. You will then see a QR code or an address that you can scan or copy with your crypto wallet app. You can then send your donation amount to that QR code or address.

We appreciate your support and your trust in our islamic charity. We assure you that your donation will be used wisely and effectively to serve the people of Afghanistan. We also ask you to keep them in your prayers and to spread the word about their plight and our work.

May Allah reward you for your kindness and generosity. May He protect you and your family from all harm and hardship. May He grant you peace and happiness in this life and the hereafter.

Break the Hunger Cycle

I am honored to be a part of our islamic charity team and to share with you some insights about how to break the hunger cycle. This is a vital topic that affects millions of people around the world, especially those who are living in poverty, conflict, and climate change. As a Muslim, I believe that hunger is not only a physical problem but also a spiritual one, as it deprives people of their dignity, rights, and potential. In this article, I will tell you more about the causes and consequences of hunger, and how we as an Islamic charity can help to end it.

What causes hunger?
Hunger is the result of many complex and interrelated factors that prevent people from having enough food to eat. Some of the main causes of hunger are:

Poverty: Poverty is the lack of income or resources to meet basic needs such as food, water, shelter, health, and education. Poverty is often caused by inequality, discrimination, corruption, exploitation, and lack of opportunities. People who live in poverty are more vulnerable to hunger, as they cannot afford to buy or produce enough food for themselves and their families.
Conflict: Conflict is the state of violence or hostility between groups or countries. Conflict is often caused by political, economic, social, or religious disputes. People who live in conflict zones are more exposed to hunger, as they face displacement, insecurity, disruption of markets and services, loss of livelihoods and assets, and human rights violations.
Climate change: Climate change is the alteration of the Earth’s climate due to human activities that emit greenhouse gases. Climate change is often manifested by extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, storms, heat waves, and wildfires. People who live in climate-sensitive areas are more affected by hunger, as they face crop failures, water scarcity, soil degradation, pest infestations, and diseases.

What are the consequences of hunger?
Hunger has devastating impacts on individuals, communities, and societies. Some of the main consequences of hunger are:

Malnutrition: Malnutrition is the condition of not having enough or the right kind of nutrients in the body. Malnutrition can lead to stunting (low height for age), wasting (low weight for height), underweight (low weight for age), micronutrient deficiencies (lack of vitamins and minerals), and obesity (excess weight for height). Malnutrition can impair physical growth, cognitive development, immune system function, and overall health.
Illness: Illness is the state of being sick or diseased. Illness can be caused by infections (such as malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS), chronic conditions (such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer), or mental disorders (such as depression, anxiety). Illness can reduce appetite, increase nutrient needs, and worsen health outcomes.
Death: Death is the end of life. Death can be caused by starvation (severe lack of food), dehydration (severe lack of water), or complications (such as organ failure) from malnutrition or illness. Death can deprive people of their lives and their loved ones.

How can we as an Islamic charity help to break the hunger cycle?
As an Islamic charity team, we have a great opportunity and responsibility to help to break the hunger cycle and save lives. We can do this by:

Providing food assistance: Food assistance is the provision of food or cash to people who are in need of food. Food assistance can be delivered in various forms such as general distributions (giving food or cash to households), school meals (giving food or cash to students), nutrition interventions (giving specialized foods or supplements to malnourished people), or livelihood support (giving food or cash in exchange for work or training). Food assistance can help to prevent or treat hunger and malnutrition.
Supporting food security: Food security is the state of having access to sufficient, safe, nutritious, and culturally acceptable food at all times. Food security can be achieved by improving availability (increasing food production and supply), accessibility (reducing food prices and barriers), utilization (enhancing food quality and diversity), and stability (ensuring food consistency and resilience). Food security can help to ensure adequate and balanced diets for all.
Advocating for justice: Justice is the state of being fair and equitable in the distribution of rights and resources. Justice can be promoted by addressing the root causes of hunger such as poverty, conflict and climate change. Justice can be achieved by empowering people (especially women and youth) to participate in decision-making, protecting people from violence and abuse, and holding accountable those who violate human rights and harm the environment. Justice can help to create a more peaceful and sustainable world.

I hope this article has given you some insights and ideas about how to break the hunger cycle and how we as an Islamic charity can help to end it.
I invite you to join me and our team in supporting this noble cause.
Together, we can make a difference and fulfill our duty to Allah and His creation. May Allah bless you and guide you always.

International Literacy Day 2023

I am so happy to be a part of our islamic charity team and to share with you some insights about International Literacy Day. This is a special day that celebrates the importance of reading and writing for everyone, especially for those who are less fortunate and face many challenges in their lives. As a Muslim, I believe that literacy is not only a skill but also a blessing from Allah, who revealed the Quran as a guidance and a mercy for mankind. In this article, I will tell you more about the origin, purpose, and significance of International Literacy Day, and how we as an Islamic charity can contribute to this noble cause.

What is International Literacy Day?

International Literacy Day is a global observance that was declared by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 1966. It is celebrated every year on September 8 to raise awareness and remind people of the importance of literacy as a human right and as a foundation for lifelong learning. According to UNESCO, literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written materials associated with varying contexts. Literacy involves a continuum of learning in enabling individuals to achieve their goals, to develop their knowledge and potential, and to participate fully in their community and wider society.

Why is International Literacy Day important?

International Literacy Day is important because it reminds us of the challenges and opportunities that exist in the world of literacy. Despite the progress made in recent decades, there are still millions of people who lack basic literacy skills. According to UNESCO, at least 773 million adults and 258 million children were illiterate in 2020. Most of them live in developing countries, where they face poverty, discrimination, violence, and exclusion. Illiteracy affects not only individuals but also communities and societies. It limits people’s access to information, education, health, employment, justice, and democracy. It also hinders people’s ability to cope with the changing and complex demands of the modern world.

On the other hand, International Literacy Day also celebrates the achievements and benefits of literacy. Literacy empowers people to improve their lives and their communities. It enables people to acquire knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes that are essential for personal and professional development. It also fosters social inclusion, intercultural dialogue, peace, and sustainability. Literacy is a key driver for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are a set of 17 global goals that aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030.

What is the theme of International Literacy Day 2023?

The theme of International Literacy Day 2023 is “Promoting literacy for a world in transition: Building the foundation for sustainable and peaceful societies”. This theme reflects the current challenges and opportunities that we face in a rapidly changing world. We live in an era of globalization, digitalization, migration, urbanization, environmental degradation, and social unrest. These changes affect our lives in many ways and require us to adapt and learn new skills and competencies. Literacy is a crucial tool that can help us navigate these changes and create positive outcomes for ourselves and others.

The theme of International Literacy Day 2023 also highlights the role of literacy in promoting inclusion, peace, and sustainability. These are three core values that are essential for building harmonious and prosperous societies that respect human dignity and diversity. As Muslims, we believe that these values are also aligned with our faith and teachings. Islam teaches us to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave, to respect all people regardless of their race or religion, to promote justice and peace among ourselves and others, and to care for the environment as a trust from Allah.

How can we as an Islamic charity support International Literacy Day?

As an Islamic charity team, we have a great opportunity and responsibility to support International Literacy Day and its objectives. We can do this by:

Raising awareness about the importance of literacy among our donors, beneficiaries, partners, and communities. We can use various platforms such as social media, newsletters, blogs, podcasts, webinars, etc., to share information, stories, resources, and best practices related to literacy.
Providing financial support to literacy projects that target the most vulnerable and marginalized groups in society. We can donate or fundraise for organizations that work on literacy education for children, women, refugees, minorities, prisoners, etc., who often face multiple barriers to access quality education.
Volunteering or mentoring for literacy initiatives that aim to improve literacy skills among adults or youth. We can offer our time or expertise to help individuals or groups who want to learn how to read or write better or who want to improve their digital or financial literacy skills.
Participating or organizing literacy events or activities that celebrate or promote literacy in our local or global context. We can join or host book clubs, reading circles, writing workshops, storytelling sessions,

poetry slams, book fairs, literacy festivals, etc., that can inspire or motivate us and others to enjoy and appreciate the power of words and stories.

I hope this article has given you some insights and ideas about International Literacy Day and how we as an Islamic charity can support this noble cause. I invite you to join me and our team in celebrating and promoting literacy for a world in transition. Together, we can make a difference and build the foundation for sustainable and peaceful societies. May Allah bless you and guide you always.

Education and Training What We Do

International Day of Charity and Our Islamic Charity

International Day of Charity is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s a global call to action. As members of Our Islamic Charity, we feel its significance daily, as we strive to better the lives of those in need. We’re not just doing it because we’ve been asked to; we’re doing it because, for us, it’s a manifestation of our faith and commitment to humanity.

Introduction
International Day of Charity is an annual United Nations international observance held on September 5th each year. Here are some key things to know about the International Day of Charity:

Purpose: The day aims to raise awareness about the role of charity in societies around the world and mobilize action in support of charitable causes. It highlights the importance of charity work for vulnerable groups.
Origins: The International Day of Charity was proposed by the Holy See in 2012 to honor St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who dedicated her life to serving the poor and destitute. The UN General Assembly officially recognized the day in 2017.
Significance: The day celebrates charity and philanthropy as a universal value that transcends cultural, political and religious boundaries. It recognizes that charity has the power to positively transform lives and build a more just, equitable and inclusive world for all.

An Intimate Conversation on Charity
Think about this for a moment: you’re walking through a lush, green orchard under a bright, sunny sky. The trees are heavy with ripe, juicy fruits, and the air is filled with their sweet fragrance. Now, imagine that you are not alone in the orchard. There’s a friend with you, someone who’s hungry and doesn’t have the means to get the fruit. What would you do?

If you’re like the majority of us, you’d probably share some of the fruits without a second thought. Why? Because it’s the human thing to do. It’s an instinctual response to alleviate the hunger of your friend. In the same vein, that’s what charity is all about, and this is the core of the message we want to share with everyone on International Day of Charity.

The Islamic Perspective on Charity
In Islam, charity, or ‘Sadaqah,’ holds a special place. It’s not merely about giving money or material possessions. It’s a broader concept that encompasses acts of kindness, time spent helping others, and even a friendly smile shared. It’s about creating ripples of goodness that can touch the lives of others in profound ways.

Every time we help a child get an education, provide medical aid to a sick person, or bring food to a starving family, we’re not just doing a good deed; we’re living our faith. It’s like planting a seed in the orchard of humanity and watching it grow into a tree that gives shade and fruits to others.

Our Role on International Day of Charity
International Day of Charity is an opportunity to amplify our efforts and spread this message of love, compassion, and giving. It’s a day when we, as a part of Our Islamic Charity, redouble our commitment to serve humanity.

We invite you to join us in this endeavour. Whether it’s by donating, volunteering, or just spreading the word, every effort counts. After all, as the saying goes, “Many hands make light work.”

In this spirit, let’s make every day a day of charity, a day of giving, and a day of love. Let’s turn our orchard of humanity into a garden of Eden that blooms with kindness and compassion. Because in the end, that’s what charity is all about. It’s not just about giving; it’s about making a difference.

So, on this International Day of Charity, let’s pledge to make that difference. Not because we have to, but because we want to. After all, a world with more charity is a world with more love, more compassion, and ultimately, more humanity. And isn’t that the kind of world we all want to live in?

In this way, we can ensure that the essence of International Day of Charity isn’t confined to 24 hours but is carried forward every day, through every act of kindness we extend to our fellow human beings. Remember, every act of charity, no matter how small, is like a fruit in the orchard of humanity. Let’s fill our orchard with an abundance of such fruits. After all, charity begins at home, but it shouldn’t end there.

What We Do

Children with Disabilities

Children with Disabilities: Empathy, Rights, and Inclusion
Hello there, dear friend! Let’s embark on an important conversation today, one that needs our undivided attention and empathy. We’re delving into the rights of children with disabilities, and our role in ensuring they enjoy the same freedoms and opportunities as every other child.

The Foundation: Understanding Disability
Firstly, it’s important to understand what we mean when we say ‘disability’. It’s not a character flaw, a punishment, or a shortcoming. It’s simply a different way of experiencing the world. Children with disabilities may face challenges in certain areas, but they also possess unique talents, abilities, and perspectives that enrich our society.

Our faith teaches us the value of each individual, and that every child is a gift from Allah, deserving of love, respect, and inclusion. So, when we talk about the rights of children with disabilities, we’re not just discussing legalities – we’re talking about a fundamental truth of our faith and humanity.

The Rights
So, what are these rights we’re talking about? Well, they’re the same rights that every child should enjoy. The right to education, to participate in social, cultural, and recreational activities, to access healthcare, to live in a safe and supportive environment, and most importantly, the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

Our role, as individuals, communities, and as an Islamic charity, is to ensure that these rights are not just theoretical, but are actually realized in the lives of children with disabilities. It’s about breaking down barriers, both physical and attitudinal, that stand in the way of these children achieving their fullest potential.

The Role We Play: Small Steps, Big Impact
So, how do we do this? It can be as simple as treating a child with a disability with the same kindness and respect as you would any other child. It’s about listening to their needs, their hopes, and their dreams, and doing what we can to help them achieve those dreams.

It’s about advocating for inclusive education, where children with disabilities learn alongside their peers. It’s about ensuring our public spaces are accessible, our healthcare is inclusive, and our attitudes are accepting.

Remember, this is not charity, it’s about justice. It’s about recognizing that children with disabilities have the same rights as everyone else and doing our part to ensure they can exercise those rights.

So, dear friend, as we continue our journey of faith and service, let’s remember to carry this message of empathy, rights, and inclusion with us. Let’s strive to create a world where every child, regardless of ability, is valued, respected, and included. After all, isn’t that the essence of our faith, and indeed, our shared humanity?
