Islamic-themed gifts are an excellent way to show your friends and family that you appreciate their religious beliefs. Select thoughtful gifts that help them celebrate special events such as Ramadan or Eid, or add spirituality with Islamic home decor items.
Gifting prayer beads (Tasbeeh) would make an excellent present for Muslim men who regularly recite verses from the Quran, or perhaps Henna kits with all the essentials for applying designs are also great ideas.
An Elegant Islamic Calendar
An Islamic calendar makes an elegant present for Muslim friends and family, helping them keep track of important dates such as Ramadan and Eid and serving as a daily reminder of Allah’s blessings and love.
The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar, is an Islamic religious dating system used worldwide by Muslims for religious purposes. This lunar calendar features 12 months: Muharram, Safar, Rabi’ al-Awwal and Rabi’ al-Thani as well as Sha’ban Rajab Shawwal Ramadan Dhu al Qa’dah and Dhu al Hijjah with 30 day months with 29 day Dhu al Hijjah being an exception.
Islam marked an impressive scientific renaissance across Muslim society, particularly in Mathematics, Astronomy and Geometry. One of Islam’s key contributions was reuniting Muslim peoples across unprecedented distances through connecting them with shared histories and creating cultural identities over time and space. Furthermore, it abolished pagan practices of intercalating and manipulating sacred months (nasi’) while creating a strict lunar calendar in tune with nature and Divine Law.
Memorial Donations
Islamic gifts should reflect religious values and convey love, respect, and gratitude to recipients. Typically given during special occasions like Eid, Ramadan or weddings to express love, respect or gratitude as well as often including an emotional message or prayer.
As an example, memorial gifts for Muslim women might include beautiful tasbeeh beads which help her remain focused during prayer, while those looking to honor a Muslim man might give him something reflective or organization related to Islam such as keffiyehs to help him organize their lives according to its principles.
Islamic literature makes an excellent gift because it promotes both intellectual development and personal growth. Books on Prophet Muhammad’s teachings, stories from Islamic history, spirituality or the works of Rumi would all make great choices as gifts – as he shared many of the Prophet’s values of generosity and charity. Lastly, poetry written by him makes for a beautiful tribute for mourning families.
Quranic Jewelry
The Qur’an is at the core of Islam. Revealed to Prophet Muhammad over 1,400 years ago and still read word-for-word by millions of Muslims worldwide today, the Noble Qur’an provides spiritual strength, guidance and inspiration.
Emeralds are an extremely popular gemstone choice in Islamic jewelry, frequently featuring Koranic verses engraved onto them. Additionally, these stunning pieces may also bear various religious symbols like leaves, animals, crescent moons or Arabic calligraphy as symbols of faith.
Emeralds are forbidden for Muslim men, so make sure any pendant or ring you purchase does not contain large emeralds. Also, gold jewelry adorned with symbols of evil eye (including hand, eye and heart motifs or beads containing blue), as these items serve as amulets designed to protect from bad luck or protect from it is forbidden as well.
Calligraphy Artwork
Calligraphy art can be an amazing way to show someone your affection and appreciate. Calligraphy has been practiced for centuries as an artistic form of decorative writing; its style features series of strokes in an organized pattern.
Calligraphy not only conveys beauty and elegance, but it also imparts divine values that promote kindness, generosity and love among Muslim believers. Calligraphers also foster responsibility and balance within society by spreading these moral teachings through calligraphy.
Calligraphy has long been a part of Islamic culture. Letters were often employed as ornamental elements with hidden magical meaning, particularly for Quranic verses.
Azeem Iqbal, a Canadian artist, is among the foremost calligraphers. He has taken this art form to new levels by employing various materials. For instance, gold has been integrated into his work while other colors enhance texture of inscriptions. Furthermore, Iqbal has explored different writing styles while including various shapes in each letter.
