Gifts for a new hafiz or hafizah

By the Madrasah Bag team

Quick answer

The best hifz completion gifts either honour the achievement or support lifelong revision: a high-quality mushaf in the layout they memorised, an engraved rehal, a leather Quran case or bag, a framed certificate or the final ayah they memorised in calligraphy, or a sponsored gift to charity in their name.

Completing hifz takes years of daily effort. A hafiz keeps revising for life, so gifts they'll use in that daily revision tend to mean the most.

Travel and holiday gifts

A trip, or something useful for the journey, can be a memorable way to mark the occasion. See our travel gift ideas for luggage, travel accessories, prayer items and perfume, or browse our halal holiday guides if you are planning a gift trip or Umrah.

A fragrance to go with the bag

A bottle of oud or perfume is a popular gift to give a new hafiz or hafizah alongside a bag. Browse oud, musk, amber and floral fragrances at Al-Jazeera Perfumes ↗. For a more personal gift, Memory Fragrance explains how a loved one's perfume can be kept or recreated.

A pen or notebook to go with the bag

A quality pen suits a hafiz or hafizah who will go on to study or take notes, and it is easy to give with a bag. See gift pens at Pen Store ↗, which stocks brands such as Lamy, Faber-Castell and Moleskine.
