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.

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.”
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.
That someone could be you…
Give a Piece of Bread and See the Pleasure of Allah
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.
