The world of Islam itself means “Peace” It is a religion of peace and love. In Islam peace is a rule, and war is only an exception. Islam tells us to avoid war. Islam gives us the message of Compassion, Love, and Mercy. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was sent to the world as a mercy for the whole of mankind. All the verses of the Quran are about kindness and peace. For intellectual development, educational activities, character building, spiritual progress, we need to follow all the Islamic rules. Peace helps us to open all the closed doors of opportunities. We should be on the right pathway to Islam. To make a peaceful and lovable relationship with non-Muslims and Muslims, we should do exchange Islamic gifts like Ayatul kursi necklace for non-believer woman. 


Can we only give Islamic gifts to Muslims? 

Giving a gift is a kind and spiritual act. It is allowed in Islam to give gifts to non- Muslims when they are on good terms with you. If you are living in a non-Muslim country you have to give Islamic gifts to your fellows to preach Islam and it also helps to maintain a good relationship with non- Muslims. To win the hearts of nonbelievers, and to incline them towards Islam we can gift them precious Islamic products.

Allah does not prohibit us to deal kindly with those who do not fight you when it comes to your faith, nor with those who do not want to drive you out of your houses. Allah loves those who behave equally with all mankind, only prohibits you to fight against them, those are against your  religion. So we can give gifts to our non-Muslims friends to let them know more about our religion. Following is the list of Islamic products that we can give to our nonbelievers:

  • Ayatul kursi locket. We can start from this, as we know that ayat-ul-kursi gives us a secure feeling. We have a belief as Muslims if we read it before going anywhere, or before doing something, it will protect us from any bad thoughts and incidents. As good believers, we can gift the Ayat-ul-kursi chain to them to let them know it will protect you from any bad condition, in this way you can make them believe in Islam.
  • You can gift them any Islamic wall frames that they can display on their home walls. 
  • You can gift a man, a set of kurta pajamas, tell them about our Islamic culture, as well as you can gift an Islamic hijab to a nonbeliever woman even it is now a fashion in many countries to wear hijab
  • Quran is a beautiful gift. If you are a friend of a non-believer and you know that he/she loves your religion and showing affection towards it, give them a Quran with the translation, make it easy for them to understand it. 
  • You can gift a kufi hat, by giving this kind of gift you can let them know about your beautiful religion. 

Can we accept a gift from a Non- Muslim?

The basic principle of Islam is not to return the gift from non-Muslims. If he/she is offering you a gift accept it and show gratefulness, it will cause attraction for them. This act will soften the heart of a giver. As an example, Our Prophet Muhammad accepted gifts from the nonbelievers e.g. the gift of al-Muqawaqis. Abu Hurayrah said relating from Prophet Muhammad (PBUH):

“Ibraaheem (peace be upon him) migrated with Sarah and entered a city in which there was a king or a tyrant, and he said: ‘give her Hajar (as a gift).’’ 

Once a king of Ayla gifts the Prophet (PBUH) a white mule and a cloak. 

How we can choose and shop for Islamic gifts?

Every person has a different taste. So we should select a gift according to their taste. If you know your wife loves jewelry. You can gift her a good piece of Islamic antique jewelry, that can be a beautiful ring with the name of Allah, Ayat-ul-kursi pendant. If your husband is fond of arts you can gift him a calligraphic art of Allah’s name. The following list is the options of other Islamic gifts:

Conclusion:

Islam is a religion of peace. We should not do fight with our nonbeliever's fellows without any reason. As we know that still a lot of people in the world do not like Islam because they have no information about our religion so it is our duty to tell them the real meanings of Islam, to tell them Islam really loves you and wants your attention. Do not force your Islamic decision on them, it is a sin in Islam. If they do not want to change their religion you cannot force them, all you need to do is help them out to learn about Islam according to their interest. You can do it start by giving them Islamic gifts.
