GIFTS FOR RAMADAN
Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting and reflection is here – The time for spiritual reflection, self-discipline, and devotion to God observed with a month-long abstinence from food, drink, and other worldly pleasures from sunrise to sunset. But here's the thing about Ramadan, it's not just about abstaining from the good stuff. It's about coming together with your community, sharing in the blessings, and reflecting on your faith. It's about being grateful for what you have and helping those who have less. The end of Ramadan is marked by the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which is a time for celebration and feasting with loved ones.
For those observing Ramadan, it is a time of self-reflection and renewal, and for others, it is a time to show respect and support for those participating in the observance. During Ramadan, gifting and sharing with others is an important tradition. Some popular gifting customs for Ramadan include:
- Dates: Dates are considered a traditional food to break the fast at sunset, and they are often given as gifts.
- Sweets: Sweets and desserts are a popular gift during Ramadan, as they are a symbol of joy and celebration.
- Clothing: New clothing is often given as a gift during Ramadan, especially to children, as a symbol of renewal and fresh starts.
- Decorations: Decorating homes with lights and colourful decor is a common tradition during Ramadan, and these decorations are often given as gifts to friends and family.
- Food baskets: Preparing and sharing food baskets filled with traditional Ramadan dishes is a common way to show generosity and hospitality to friends, family, and neighbours.
