A Ramadaan Gift Bag (that will travel insha'Allaah!)

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Sometimes I receive correspondence from people who have ideas that are just delightful masha'Allaah! Here is an example of one of those delightful ideas:

The idea: A gift will be bought and put into the felt gift bag pictured on the right. The person who receives the gift will remove their gift and then place a different gift into the bag and pass the bag on to a new/different person. The next person who receives the gift bag will remove their gift, place another gift inside of the bag and pass the bag on to another/different person. This will continue throughout the month of Ramadaan insha'allaah. This idea seems like a nice way to give Sadaqah (charity) during Ramdaan or to give a gift seeking the reward from Allaah Alone. 

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ   

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ

He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,

And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,

Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.

He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).

{سورة الليل 18-21}

A Muslim Child is Born was happy to participate by making the gift bag to help with this idea. The bag will be delivered to those who initiated the idea and they will insert a gift into the bag and pass it on insha'Allaah. 

Sewn into the inside of the gift bag is a little card (the card is in Arabic and in English) that tells the person that the gift inside is for them.

 
The card also asks the recipient to visit A Muslim Child is Born and leave a comment in this post so we can all follow the gift bag as it travels. All the recipients need to do is simply leave a comment saying their city and province/country/state they are in (For example: Riyadh, KSA). Note: You can leave a comment anonymously (i.e. there is no need to put your name if you do not wish. All that is being asked is that you tell which city and province/state/country the bag is in when you receive it.)


Insha'Allaah this little bag will travel from hand to hand (or even mailbox to mailbox) during Ramadaan bearing gifts from those seeking reward from Allaah during this blessed month.

May Allaah accept from all who participate!
