To give a Muslim family Easter treats?

[MEEEEEP]

I've made Easter baskets for neighbours kids. Chicks, chocolate eggs etc...

Would the Muslim family be happy to accept them?

I'm not religious at all but I know it's a Christian holiday. We just celebrate spring!

I just don't want to put neighbour in awkward position

Jesus is also a prophet for Muslims, so I don't think there'll be any problem.

I'm Muslim and we give our children eggs because it's what the norm is in the country! I'm sure they would love it!

Ahhh @MEEEEEP, that sounds lovely 🐰💞

Well done for doing something nice and being thoughtful 😀

I would say go for it, as long as it’s halal. My Muslim neighbours gave me some treats last Eid and I thought it was so thoughtful and kind.

I have a stash of chooky eggs for my nephew and niece (Muslim) and they have no issue with Easter or Christmas. Any excuse to celebrate and as someone upthread said ‘it’s the norm’

You're over thinking it, it's fine.

Yes! I used to give our Muslim neighbour Easter eggs. She gave us Diwali sweets. They both seemed like a nice, friendly inclusive acts at the time!

We give our Muslim neighbours treats at Christmas.They give us treats at Eid.
Everyones happy!🤷‍♀️

Most people would appreciate it under normal circumstances however at the moment a lot of people are not wanting to accept things off neighbours etc so keep this in mind about all your neighbours that they might get annoyed over this.

I personally think its a lovely idea but I've read a lot of threads on here that people will think otherwise.

@CuriousaboutSamphire I think you are confusing Hinduism with Islam. But the sentiment is there. As a Muslim, i have both received Christmas and Easter presents/ eggs and have also given food in Ramadhan and Eid (and/or gifts). I think it's a nice gesture.

Oh how embarrassing

My apologies. And thank you for your understanding.

My Muslim in-laws celebrate Diwali too!

I'm not Muslim, but I personally think it sounds like a lovely thing to do
Just like I don't celebrate Eid but I'd love a neighbour who brought me Eid food yumminess lol

Just check the chocolate is vegetarian.... and give them chocolate.... Easter eggs etc
You are very unlikely to offend even the most conservative of Muslims and they will enjoy it and see it as accepting them in your lives

Easter is a pagan festival, very old for the Goddess Eostre. of Spring

Chrisitianity stuck their celebration on to it

It is a lovely festival for Spring so should be good for all who live here

Well, the 'egg' is a symbol of the empty tomb and the russerection of Jesus. My DH is Jewish and his Mum gives our DC the chocolate sheep, rabbits etc but never an egg.

It’s a lovely thing to do I’m sure they will be very grateful.

Let’s face it if we lived in a Muslim country and there was a national bank holiday with chocolate we’d be all over it like a rash.

I’m not a Muslim but although it’s a nice thing to do personally I wouldn’t want the gift in the current climate.

Just make some for your own family and hand out chocolates once the crisis has passed. I’m sure all your neighbours have their own chocolate at home so I’m sure it will be fine.

Lovely thought, I'm sure they'll be fine with it. My Jewish neighbours give me lovely sweets & ice cream stuff every time they have a religious holiday.

I’m glad they liked it OP. A lovely gesture.

I've had a lifetime of bad experiences of Christians trying to convert me, so I wouldn't appreciate it. I can see how others would though. (I'm Jewish, not Muslim)

The Egg symbolizes rebirth and regeneration....it is Spring.

Such a lovely thing to do.

It's being done with a good heart - ok as far as I can see (i've done similar things - was well received)
