GIVING GIFTS ON EID?? Exchanging gifts increases the love between us. However, a gift should only be from the depth of one's heart, to make someone happy for the Pleasure of the Almighty. Never give a gift expecting something in return as this can quickly become a bribe. Never brag about a gift given to someone as this nullifies the reward & does more harm than good. The best gifts are those given with humility, sincerity & respect whilst the worst gifts are those given with a dirty heart, in a way that makes others feel inferior & us superior. Never belittle a gift no matter how small it may seem as it is the thought that counts & the sincerity. (Mufti Ismail Menk)
