5 Gift Ideas for a Newly Married Muslim Couple

Is a friend or family member getting married? Not sure what to get? First, hats off to you for doing the research. We know finding the perfect gift can be difficult, let alone when there are cultural differences. You going the extra mile is a sure sign of love! But no more worrying, you came to the right spot. Here are 5 gift ideas for a newly married Muslim couple.

1.     Framed Islamic Calligraphy

Islam widely disapproves of art depicting living things, so calligraphy is a great option. You will find Mosques and religious areas display sizable calligraphy, and this extends to Muslim households as well. A framed calligraphy canvas with the names of the couple is meaningful and makes great home décor!

2.     A Set of Prayer Beads

Muslim prayers can include chants called Dhikr which are repeated for a set number of times. In Muslim tradition, tasbih (prayer beads) are used to keep track of the number of times someone has chanted a certain verse. Most Muslims use mechanical counters now, but there are still those who prefer using prayer beads.

3.     Hijab Brooch Set and Cufflinks

Muslim women cover their heads with scarves. This practice as well as the scarf used is referred to as hijab. Hijab does require time and practice to be done right, but a brooch can definitely make the process easier. Plus, a beautiful brooch set makes for a wonderful accessory! For the man, a set of cufflinks is a great option. Traditional clothing for Muslim men has long sleeves and cuffs. Although some have buttons sewn on nowadays, cufflinks can add a stylish touch to an outfit, especially for a nicer occasion.

4.     Personalized Zawj and Zawjah Wedding Mugs

Personalized gifts are always very thoughtful. Adding Husband and Wife in Arabic is the perfect touch. You can also include their names and wedding date to make this gift extra special!

5.     Custom Islamic Candle Set

Another great gift idea for the newly wedded couple is a set of custom Islamic candles. You can have the candles made with a specific surah and ayat that is meaningful to them, or with each of their names. You can also include a special quote or well wish.
