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).

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.

What Is Universal Human Beings Week and When Does It Take Place?

Universal Human Beings Week is an annual observance from March 1 to March 7. In 2025, this significant week coincides with the holy month of Ramadan, making it an even more profound opportunity for reflection, unity, and charitable acts. This observance was established to emphasize human and spiritual values over materialism, encouraging love, unity, and social justice.

Events and Activities During Universal Human Beings Week

Throughout this week, individuals and organizations come together to promote kindness, respect, and unity. The following activities are central to this observance:

  • Personal Commitment: Taking time to reflect on our actions and committing to treating others with kindness, respect, and dignity.
  • Community Engagement: Organizing and participating in initiatives that foster peace and unity, breaking barriers across age, status, race, and religion.
  • Social Media Advocacy: As Muslims, participating in Universal Human Beings Week aligns with Islamic principles of compassion, community service, and social justice.

How Can We as Muslims Contribute During Universal Human Beings Week?

As an Islamic charity, ‘Our Islamic Charity’ recognizes the importance of this week, especially as it aligns with Ramadan 2025. This is a powerful opportunity to teach Islamic values of generosity, self-discipline, and community support. Here’s how we can actively participate:

1. Interfaith and Community Dialogue

Ramadan and Universal Human Beings Week both emphasize the value of human connection. Engaging in interfaith discussions and inviting people from different backgrounds to join Iftar gatherings can promote mutual respect and understanding.

2. Promoting Islamic Culture and Values in Ramadan

We can hold workshops, discussions, and educational events that teach the importance of Ramadan beyond fasting—focusing on patience, humility, gratitude, and community service.

3. Charitable Giving (Sadaqah) and Donations

One of the pillars of Islam is giving to those in need. During this week, we encourage Muslims to donate to the less fortunate, whether through financial assistance, food distribution, or other charitable actions. For those involved in cryptocurrency donations, this is also an excellent time to use digital assets to help fund essential aid programs.

4. Hosting Iftar and Suhoor for the Needy

Since this week falls during Ramadan, we can extend our charity by organizing communal Iftar and Suhoor meals for the underprivileged. This ensures that those who are fasting have access to nutritious meals and feel included in the community.

5. Volunteering for Social Causes

We can encourage volunteering in hospitals, orphanages, and shelters to assist those in need. Acts of kindness, big or small, reflect the true spirit of Islam and the essence of Universal Human Beings Week.

The Coincidence of Universal Human Beings Week and Ramadan 2025

The alignment of this week with Ramadan makes it even more special. This is a time when Muslims worldwide focus on personal growth, charity, and spirituality. As a charity, we are committed to maximizing the impact of this week by organizing various cultural and religious events in different countries. Through these efforts, we aim to educate people on the significance of Ramadan, the importance of Suhoor and Iftar, and the essence of kindness and generosity in Islam.

A Week of Global Kindness and Faith

Universal Human Beings Week provides an incredible opportunity to align humanitarian values with Islamic teachings. As we fast, pray, and give during Ramadan 2025, let’s also take this chance to promote unity, peace, and generosity worldwide. By actively participating in this global movement, we not only strengthen our faith but also help build a better, more compassionate world for everyone.

Humanitarian Aid

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.

May Allah reward you abundantly for your generosity and grant blessings to all those who support this noble cause. Ameen.

International and Global Events and Mental Health

In a world shaped by diverse challenges, it is essential to address both mental and physical health to achieve a balanced and fulfilling life. Many international and global events remind us of this truth, as they strive to improve lives by focusing on mental wellness alongside physical care. As members of Our Islamic Charity, we are committed to this holistic approach, ensuring we extend care to both the body and mind, bringing solace and hope to those in need.

The Foundation of Holistic Well-Being

Mental and physical health are deeply intertwined. When the mind suffers, the body often bears the consequences—and vice versa. For many women, children, adults, and elderly individuals, life’s challenges can leave deep emotional scars. From displacement and poverty to loss and trauma, these experiences demand not only physical aid but also emotional healing. Recognizing this, our Islamic Charity actively supports initiatives that address both aspects of human health.

International observances provide a platform to highlight these issues. For example:

  • World Mental Health Day (October 10): Focuses on mental health education and breaking stigma.
  • International Day of Families (May 15): Addresses the role of family support in mental well-being.
  • International Day of Happiness (March 20): Promotes the significance of emotional health and joy.
  • International Day of Non-Violence (October 2): Encourages peaceful resolutions to conflicts, which helps reduce psychological harm.
  • World Refugee Day (June 20): Highlights the resilience of refugees and their mental health needs.

These events align closely with our mission to restore dignity and wellness to all individuals, especially the most vulnerable.

Our Initiatives for Mental and Physical Health

At Our Islamic Charity, we believe in offering comprehensive support that nurtures both body and soul. Our programs are designed to address the unique challenges faced by those we serve. Here are some of the ways we contribute:

Healing Through Trauma Counseling

Many individuals we support have experienced significant trauma. We provide access to skilled counselors and psychologists who offer therapy sessions to help them process their pain and begin their journey toward emotional recovery. Whether it’s a displaced child, a grieving widow, or a struggling elder, our counseling initiatives aim to rebuild hope and strength.

Creating Safe and Supportive Spaces

Safety is foundational to mental health. We establish safe spaces where individuals can express themselves without fear. These environments foster healing by promoting open communication and emotional resilience.

Building Community Networks

Isolation exacerbates mental health challenges. By strengthening community bonds and organizing support groups, we help individuals find solace in shared experiences. This sense of belonging can be transformative in rebuilding lives.

Promoting Education and Awareness

Education is a powerful tool for change. We conduct workshops on coping mechanisms, resilience, and stress management, empowering individuals to handle life’s challenges more effectively. Our campaigns also tackle stigma surrounding mental health, encouraging people to seek help without fear of judgment.

Integrating Mental Health into Physical Care

Physical health initiatives are most effective when combined with mental health support. For instance, our medical outreach programs include mental health assessments and referrals, ensuring holistic care for those we serve.

A Human-Centric Approach

Beyond addressing immediate needs, our charity also promotes activities that nurture mental well-being. From art therapy sessions and mindfulness practices to religious and spiritual guidance, these initiatives help individuals rediscover their inner peace. By integrating these into our charity work, we offer comprehensive care that respects the dignity and humanity of every person.

Broader Implications for a Better World

Focusing on mental and physical health doesn’t just transform individual lives—it uplifts entire communities. When people are healthy in mind and body, they contribute more positively to society. They can rebuild their families, engage in meaningful work, and inspire others with their resilience.

As an Islamic charity, we draw inspiration from the teachings of compassion and service in Islam. We believe that by addressing mental health, we not only heal individuals but also fulfill our duty to create a more just and compassionate world. Together, we can break the cycles of suffering and build a foundation for enduring hope and happiness.

A Call to Action

As you reflect on the importance of mental and physical health, we invite you to join us in this noble mission. Your support enables us to extend these life-changing services to those who need them most. By donating cryptocurrency or other resources, you become a vital part of this transformative journey. Together, we can ensure that no one is left behind—physically or emotionally.

Let’s work hand in hand to create a world where every individual can thrive, free from the burdens of trauma and pain, and empowered by a sense of holistic well-being.
