Muslim men typically appreciate gifts that reflect their faith and culture. Here are some great Islamic gift ideas to show your friend just how much you care!
Muslim culture allows an immediate family time for mourning following the loss of a loved one. A memorial gift is an appropriate token to show our sympathy.
Quran Paak
The Quran conveys divine values of kindness, generosity and love among its believers. These moral teachings help promote human freedom and responsibility while serving as a balance against an overindulgent lifestyle of pleasure seeking.
The Holy Quran instructs Muslims to demand proof from God (Say: ‘Bring forth Your Proof If You Are True’2:111). Additionally, it warns against making assumptions without evidence and advises Muslims to seek the opinions of experts from different fields (2:353).
Every surah of the Holy Quran contains several verses known as ayats. An ‘ayat’ refers to God-sent signs or evidence, with each surah featuring its own distinct style of Ayats that vary in length from just a few letters up to several lines; usually split up into semantic units which resemble paragraphs with around ten Ayats in total.
The Quran contains verses with profound wisdom that can serve to guide believers on their spiritual path. Furthermore, its verses offer spiritual inspiration that can aid people battling depression; though professional treatment should always be sought first for severe cases like clinical depression, reading verses from the Quran can significantly assist those struggling to bolster inner strength and overcome difficulties as part of an antidepressant strategy. It teaches patience and faith are keys for overcoming any difficulty that comes their way.
Islamic Calendar
An elegant Islamic calendar will show your Muslim friend just how much you care for him and his faith. Not only can it serve to track important dates such as Ramadan and Eid, but it can also act as an inspirational source to inspire good deeds throughout the year.
The Islamic calendar, commonly referred to as the Hijri calendar, is a lunar calendar which follows lunar sighting. Each month begins with Muharram, Safar, Rabi’ al-Awwal and Rabi’ al-Thani as their respective new moon dates are determined; 12 months make up this cycle: Muharram, Safar, Rabi’ al-Awwal Rabi’ al-Thani Sha’ban Rajab Ramadan Shawwal Dhul Qi’dah Dhul Hijjah. Muharram commemorates Muhammad’s journey from Mecca to Medina more than 1,400 years ago!
Dhul-Qi’dah marks the conclusion of Islamic pilgrimages to Mecca known as Hajj. Additionally, Islamic calendar differs slightly from Western/Gregorian calendars in that each month has either 29 or 30 days depending on when new moon is seen. This variance occurs because Islamic calendar relies on astronomical observation rather than rule calculation – thus falling ten days short of solar year each time around. Tabular Islamic Calendar, on the other hand, uses mathematical rules instead of observation to calculate month starts instead.
Prayer Rug
Prayer rugs are sacred objects used by Muslims as a daily reminder of their devotion to Allah. There are various types of Muslim prayer rugs available, generally constructed with wool but sometimes silk as well. Additionally, they can serve as decorative pieces in any home to add an elegant accent.
Wool prayer mats can make an excellent choice because of their durability and easy care needs. Lanolin in wool acts as a natural filter, keeping dirt and liquid from penetrating its fibers – making cleaning much simpler than other materials.
Jute-based prayer rugs offer a light, airy experience. These rugs can be designed to look traditional or modern and tend to be cheaper than their wool counterparts, though they lack as soft a feel and therefore make praying on one less comfortable.
Silk prayer rugs can make an elegant statement piece. Hand-knotted by artisans with soft texture, these luxurious pieces make an impressive decorative or seating cushion addition. Although more expensive than other choices, silk prayer rugs provide the ultimate luxurious and beautiful statement piece.
Ayah Painting
Islamic art has evolved alongside Islam and Arabic language. Calligraphy, hand lettering and scripts are visual arts forms which combine writing technologies with spiritual elements such as calligraphy. Arabic calligraphy aligns more closely with spiritual elements than with figures, while nature, geometry and abstract designs are all features of Islamic artworks.
Ayah was an energetic and ambitious young woman who found joy in painting, drawing, and expressing herself through art in any form she could. Her passion lay in helping those less fortunate – especially young and vulnerable people like cancer patients in Gaza’s hospitals that she would accompany on visits. Ayah saw art as a universal language that connected with all types of people she encountered on these visits – especially helping young and vulnerable ones like herself through it. She believed in empowering others even if that meant sacrificing her own life to do it. Ayah understood art’s power to connect all types of people across time zones as she brought together many diverse groups together through its universal language to meet people from diverse backgrounds using art – even to talk with cancer patients she encountered during hospital stays in Gaza hospitals.
Ayah’s legacy will live on in her paintings displayed throughout Gaza and in the hearts of her many admirers, especially young people. Ayah’s family hopes that her art can encourage youth to embrace their faith and believe in a brighter future for humanity.
