Part of: Milestones and gifts
GiftsGifts for madrasah teachers
Popular thank-you gifts for madrasah teachers include a quality attar (perfume oil), a leather Quran case or bag, dates and sweets for Eid, books, a gift card, or a heartfelt card from the child. For milestones like an Ameen or hifz completion, families often give a larger gift or cash.
Madrasah teachers (see ustadh and ustadha) are often poorly paid for many hours a week. A thank-you is always appreciated.

Class gifts
