Gift giving is an act that should not be taken lightly – it can mean so much to someone looking for the ideal present!
Islamic gifts that stand out are an ideal way to show someone you care, from candle sets and traditional tashbihs.
Personalised Islamic Gifts
Muslim gift-giving is encouraged as a form of expression and care between loved ones. Making someone feel extra special by gifting an Islamic item tailored specifically for them adds an unforgettable personal touch to their home decor, clothing or jewellery collection.
If you’re searching for an extraordinary and thoughtful present to give a Muslim friend or family member, why not get them a personalised Islamic clock? Available in different designs and colours, these clocks can be personalized with the recipient’s name or message and act as an excellent reminder of faith while emphasizing time management?
Although giving gifts is encouraged, it should never be done at the expense of one individual over another. As Prophet (saw) warned us: whoever claims back after giving is like a dog who consumes something and then vomits it back up.” This is a serious sin, so ensure your gifting always with good intention so both recipients benefit as well as earning you rewards in the Hereafter.
Memorial Photo Frames
Gift giving is an integral component of Muslim charity and should be seen as an opportunity to show love, care, and affection towards one another. According to Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day should show generosity towards his neighbour and guests.
Personalised memorial photo frames are an enchanting and lasting way to commemorate loved ones who have passed on. Engraved with their name and special message of affection, this keepsake will serve as a daily reminder.
Help your Muslim friend stay on track with their prayers with a customized Islamic prayer reminder or Quran bookmark that makes reading easy. Or surprise them with a luxurious padded prayer mat for an enjoyable praying experience at home!
Memorial Donations
After the passing of a loved one is always heartbreaking, and condolence gifts are common across cultures; but Muslims have their own distinctive perspective when it comes to giving condolence gifts in memory of loved ones who have passed on. Though extravagant or expensive gifts may not be considered appropriate as memorial tributes for their loss, Muslims families typically welcome any donations made in their memory and appreciate thoughtful donations made in honor of deceased loved ones.
An easy memorial gift that provides comfort and warmth during times of grieving is a throw blanket, or perhaps something from Islamic writers such as Rumi whose poetry often addressed loss and grief.
When receiving memorial funds, it is crucial that all donors remain informed on how their donations will be spent. Some may use it for funeral costs; others may make donations in memory of someone they loved to charitable causes in their name.
Publishing memorial donations without the knowledge and consent of those involved can be upsetting for grieving families as it can create feelings of obligation among your congregation members.
Islamic Jewelry
Islamic jewelry design is truly exquisite. In the 9th through 12th centuries, jewelry designers employed niello, a black mixture used to inlay metals with semiprecious and precious stones using engraving techniques such as engraving. However, some Muslims feel excessive jewelry may constitute feminine behavior which should not be encouraged.
Gift giving and receiving are an integral part of life in the Middle East, reflecting its cultural roots as taught by Prophet Muhammad and establishing and strengthening relationships and bonds through exchanged gifts.
If you’re searching for an Islamic gift that stands out, why not consider giving something as memorable as a gold decorative plate with classical Arabic calligraphy. These plates can be hung on walls or used as decor around the home. Or consider purchasing a Quran pin that serves both beauty and functionality for Muslim households – the pin can keep pages in their proper places while serving as a reminder of Allah!
Islamic Wall Art
Islamic wall art is an excellent way to show someone you care. Whether it’s something to decorate your own home or give as a present, there will surely be an Islamic piece just right for you!
Muslim art differs significantly from Western art in that it doesn’t always depict figures – though some artwork does depict human subjects, it often does so in a stylized fashion that conveys religious devotion or cultural identity. Scholars have often criticised such “aniconic” works for not representing all aspects of Islamic culture fully.
Another approach to categorizing Islamic art is by its time period and ruling dynasty, such as with major museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art which have dedicated Islamic galleries. The Umayyad Dynasty (661-750) is widely considered the foundational period of Islamic art as this time marked when Muslim states came together and developed artistic styles which have had global repercussions.
