Is Bitcoin halal, or haram? And if you decide to own it, how do you buy it and keep it safe?

Your savings are melting quietly, like an ice cube. People around you argue about Bitcoin, some permitting it and some forbidding it, and you don’t know whom to believe, or where to begin. This book is written for you: a Muslim beginner who wants to understand before deciding.

Breaths of Hope

A Journey Through Survival and Faith

“Only 5% of your lungs are functioning; the situation is severe.”

In a gleaming private hospital abroad, J.S. Adam—a British entrepreneur, husband and father of two—fought COVID-19 one breath at a time as his oxygen climbed from 2 liters a minute to 45. The bills rose with it. His insurance failed him. Old friends went quiet.

About J.S. Adam

J.S. Adam is the pen name of Jamal, son of Adam. An entrepreneur, he studied physics and engineering and today builds software platforms. In 2018 he discovered Bitcoin, and saw in it an old idea in new clothes: money its owner truly owns.

Then came the test. He fell seriously ill with COVID-19 in a country that was not his own: about three months in two private hospitals, more than three weeks of it in intensive care, then a month at home being weaned off oxygen. His insurer refused to pay, so he paid the bills himself, helped by the Bitcoin he had saved. Breaths of Hope is that story.

He now writes to be a mentor to ordinary people: to explain the new world of money in their own language, to warn them about scammers, and to set the scholars’ evidence before them. He also turns his words into anthems sung in human voices alone.

To every hospital that counts beds before it counts breaths: we are not invoices.
