The Ramadan period is a very dedicated period of sober
reflection and Self-preservation, they are created for one to take time out and
purify themselves by the act of fasting, sober reflecting, self-purity, alms
giving and getting closer to God.
There is a stipulated number of days that the
Islams are expected to fast and pray fervently and to stay away from things
that will cause them to sin or lure them into Sin, within this period one id
expected to do an inner reflection of their lifestyle and consider if it is
beneficial to their Lives as well as they conclude the fasting and sober
reflection comes to an end, at this point there is a celebration that follows
suit and this is where the exchange of gifts comes in handy.
It is a month of giving, to uphold the major pillars of
Islam such as observing Solat Regularly, Being steadfast in Prayers, Giving
Gifts in addition to the fasting itself.
Here are 7 gift
choices for Ramadan
1.
Bag of Rice :
Given that there is a huge celebration, that follows after the sober
reflection, it is only natural that the gifts should be within that celebration
that will allow one to continue in the celebration. A bag of rice mainly
because it is a thoughtful act that recognizes that all the thirty days put
into sober reflection has some relevance.
2. Hijabs, Pashminas and Jalabs : The world is
fashionable, the conventional clothes might not be fitting, therefore these
options are best fitted for the occasion. The idea of this sacred period is to
be thoughtful, caring and selfless and some of the gift options are in sync
with that ideologies
3.
Religious Books and Lecture CDs: People listen
to sermons a lot during this period, people can exchange gifts as books on
fiqh( Islamic Jurisprudence), Books on how to discipline your soul such as
disturbance of the heart, Sacred Knowledge and so on are given out to help
nourish the soul. Some of the things
that make Ramadan unique are the listening to public lectures and Sermons.
People do gather around moments before Ifthar to give lectures and breakfast
together. These lecture CDs would make perfect gifts for anyone looking to
nourish their soul.
4.
All Expense paid trip to Hajj: There is a
general notion on a normal day that when you do good on a normal day you get
ten times the reward, but when you do good during Ramadan, you get a hundred fold.
5.
RAM: The
Ram is the generally accepted animal that is celebrated with in recognition of
the Ram that was killed at the test of Ibrahim for the Sacrifice of Ismail his
only son. It is not a compulsory act, but if you are buoyant enough it will be
a blessing to someone else.

kind of Gifts are the gifts that will be used and acknowledged and Cap is
