My parents don’t really like gifts (or so they tell me) but I want to get something for them...what do you usually get for your parents? Any ideas for birthdays, Mother’s Day/Father’s Day/holidays?

You’re welcome!

Usually just give charity on their behalf, especially to places that can dedicate it to them in some way (e.g., orphan sponsorship where the orphans share a bit about their lives, wells, etc.)

Oh I love this idea!

I usually pay attention to the the things they wear and use and then I buy it.

If they don’t want material things I agree with Director 1. You can also get a well under their name.

Yes they usually don’t, this is a nice idea. Thanks!

Most parents from back home like land. Can you buy them a 1 acre lot somewhere?

Uhhh I have never really looked up how much an acre is tbh

The older I get and the more I think about raising my own children, I keep thinking how can parents frame religious duties like fasting as something to look forward to. I think volunteering as a family can help install the value of giving back and zakaat. How can one make Ramadan and Eid something to look forward to when holidays like Christmas seem to be purely joyous occasion that one doesn’t have to put in work for like fasting for Ramadan?

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess).

Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?
