A Ramadan gift is different from an Eid gift. Eid is celebration, and almost anything works. Ramadan is a month of worship, and the gifts that make sense are the ones that get used in it: something to pray on, something to read, something to eat at iftar, something that makes the house feel like the month has started. Here are fifteen, grouped by who they are for.
For anyone
1. A prayer rug with tasbih, in a gift box. The ihvan prayer rug and beads set comes in a cylinder box and is soft enough for taraweeh. It is the single most useful Ramadan gift there is.
2. Fortress of the Muslim. The pocket edition of Hisnul Muslim, the collection of authentic duas from the Quran and Sunnah. Small enough for a bag, used every day of the month and every month after.
3. A copy of the Quran in clear English. The Clear Quran is the translation to give someone who wants to finish the Quran this Ramadan and actually understand what they read.
4. Medjool dates. The gift that gets opened at iftar on the day you give it. Organic Medjool dates, or a box from your local Middle Eastern grocer, which is usually better and cheaper.
5. A Ramadan planner. For the person who starts strong and loses the thread by day ten. Our Ramadan Planner 2027 has a page for every day, Quran and dhikr trackers, and meal plans, and it prints at home so you can give it tonight.
For the home
6. Islamic wall art. A metal Bismillah piece or the Ayatul Kursi set for someone who has just moved or just married. It goes up for Ramadan and stays.
7. Ramadan decorations. A moon and star garland and a banner for a family with young children. The kids will remember the house looking different.
8. A Quran verses jar. Ninety-nine verses in Arabic and English, one to draw each day. Good for an iftar table, where everyone takes one.
For an iftar host
9. Turkish tea glasses. A set of twelve, because iftar hosts always run out of cups.
10. Raw honey. Canadian raw honey, which is a Sunnah food and a thing people never buy for themselves.
11. Something for the table. The Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, Mashallah table set from iwa concept is the one to bring if the host already has everything.
For children
12. A kids’ prayer rug. A small one sized for them, so they have their own spot next to yours.
13. Thirty bedtime stories. 30 Bedtime Stories for 30 Values from the Quran, one a night, finishes on Eid.
14. Dua cards. Our 30 Everyday Duas for Kids set, printed on cardstock and tied with a ribbon. One dua for each day of Ramadan.
15. A countdown calendar. The wooden one with drawers, with a small treat or a good deed in each.
On giving gifts in Ramadan
The Prophet ï·º was described as most generous in Ramadan, and giving gifts was one of the ways he taught people to love one another. The gift does not need to be big. The dates, the honey, and the dua book are all under twenty dollars. The best Ramadan gift is the one that is in someone’s hands at iftar that same night.
