Assalamo alaikum and Ramadan Mubarak to those fasting! I thought we could have a thread to support each other and have some general Ramadan chat. Others are free to ask questions too x

I'm glad to have seen this thread so I can ask a question.

I've got lovely Muslim neighbours who really spoil me with beautiful food deliveries most days during Ramadan. We're friendly all year and often share things we've cooked, though tbh they share much more with us, not least because they have some dietary restrictions plus eat halal which rules a lot of the food I cook out.

Anyway I wanted to give them a little present for Eid. Last 2 years I gave a nice box of dates and a card made by my daughter. This year i couldn't find dates so bought some nice chocolates instead. Feels stupid to ask but I gathered dates were traditional, is chocolate an OK gift too? Or would it be better to avoid food gifts in future?

I have other questions but have forgotten them for now, I may be back

Muslims eat chocolate too! Just make sure no alcohol or dead animal ingredients in them (if its suitable for vegetarians or vegans that's good).
Tbh, after breaking the fast with a date all Ramadan some of us are sick of dates!

Eid will be on Monday for those following Saudi. For those who aren't we don't know yet. Depends on Morocco or if the crescent moon is sighted here (Morocco because its on the same timeline).

Salam sisters and friends, can you believe it's nearly over? 😭 Heading to mosque for last iftar then a henna party after. Just finished cleaning house, making 150 party bags for tomorrow and putting up the decorations.
May Allah swt accept our good deeds and let us live to another Ramadan x
