On what days or holidays do Islamic people give and recieve gifts?

Answer 1

if you're asking about islamic "christmas", no we dont have a holiday that we give and receive gifts.

it also depends on what culture certain muslims live in. i live in a multi-racial and multi-religion country, and have friends from different race as well as religion. there's no problem for me when my friends gave me a gift during christmas or birthday or for friendship purpose, as long as the purpose doesnt go against our teachings.

Answer 2

Muslims are encouraged by ISLAM to give gifts in every day or occasion as it bring joy and happiness to others

Muslim celebrates two occasion or festivals or EED called “EED L FETRR & EED L ADHAA”

Another thing is that every Friday is an “EED “for every Muslim


But gifts are not bounded to any occasion....

Answer 3

'Eed-ul-Fitr marks the end of fasting in the month of Ramadaan and is celebrated with public prayers, feasts and exchange of gifts. 'Eed-ul- Adhaa marks the end of the Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mekkah. After the public prayer, those who can afford, sacrifice a lamb, goat, cow or camel to signify Prophet Abraham's obedience to God, shown by his readiness to sacrifice his own son Ishmael.

Eid ul-Fitr or Id-Ul-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر ‘Īd al-Fiá¹­r), often abbreviated as simply Eid, is an Islamic holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. Fiá¹­r means "to break the fast" and therefore symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. On the day of the celebration, a typical Muslim family is awake very early and then after praying the first normal everyday prayer, is required to eat in a small quantity, symbolizing the end of Ramadan. They then attend special congregational prayers held only for this occasion in mosques, in large open areas, stadiums or arenas. The prayer is generally short, and is followed by a sermon (khuá¹­ba). Worshippers greet and embrace each other in a spirit of peace and love after the congregational prayer. After the special prayers, festivities and merriment are commonly observed with visits to the homes of relatives and friends to thank God for all blessings.

For Muslims, Eid ul-Fitr is a joyous occasion with important religious significance, celebrating of the achievement of enhanced piety. It is a day of forgiveness, moral victory, peace of congregation, fellowship, brotherhood and unity. Muslims celebrate not only the end of fasting, but also thank God for the help and strength that they believe he gave them throughout the previous month to help them practice self-control. It is a time of giving and sharing, and many Muslims dress in holiday attire, and compare the spirit of the holiday to the "Christmas spirit" recognized by Christianity.

Eid Al Adha :Men, women, and children are expected to dress in their finest clothing and perform the Eid prayer (Salatu'l-`id) in any mosque. Muslims who can afford to do so sacrifice their best domestic animals (usually sheep, but also camels, cows, and goats) as a symbol of Ibrahim's (Abraham's) sacrifice. The sacrificed animals, called "udhiya Arabic: أضحية", have to meet certain age and quality standards or else the animal is considered an unacceptable sacrifice. At the time of sacrifice, Allah's name is recited along with the offering statement and a supplication as Prophet Muhammad said. According to the Quran a large portion of the meat has to be given towards the poor and hungry people so they can all join in the feast which is held on Eid-ul-Adha.The remainder is cooked for the family celebration meal in which relatives and friends are invited to share in. The regular charitable practices of the Muslim community are demonstrated during Eid ul-Adha by the concerted effort to see that no impoverished Muslim is left without sacrificial food during these days. Coming immediately after the annual hajj ends with the celebration of the Day of Mount Arafat. Eid ul-Adha is a concrete affirmation of what the Muslim community ethic means in practice. People in these days are expected to visit their relations, starting with their parents, then their families and friends. (Arabic audio with English meaning).
