Malaysian/Muslim, help please?

maybe a prayer mat becoz as a muslim, shes suppose to pray 5 times a day, so that would be helpful

or why dont you go to a islamic book store and ask them what they have that would be nice

or if she wears a hijab (a scarf) maybe buy her another one, a muslim girl always needs a scarf, and theres usually in different colours, styles, patterns and materials etc (:

Anything will be fine. If she is a Malaysian Muslim, I am pretty sure she celebrate her birthday regardless of the fact she is a Muslim. Mostly they celebrate their birthday as a way to get together with their friends or family. There is nothing wrong with it. Ignore those who said about Muslim not celebrating their birthday.

well maybe you could give her something that is not commonly found in Malaysia. As long as you do not send items relating to pork (bacon) or religion. Give her something simple is fine. Its the thought that matters.

maybe people who're supercritical (and this, regrettably consists of lots of the so called holy adult males) are generally no longer ok knowledgeable and are insular. once you're born a Malay, generally speaking, you're additionally born a Muslim. So there is subculture and faith blended mutually. i've got even heard the term 'masuk melayu' (enter malay) particularly of entering Islam. which you may desire to many, being a muslim is a malay history. i comprehend of non-malay muslims who are not as properly standard via malay muslims even nevertheless they're religious brothers. some Malay Muslims don't understand that there are far extra chinese language Muslims in China than Malay Muslims. It probable comes all the way down to lack of know-how and lack of self assurance. Then they does no longer sense so threatened or shielding approximately their faith. people who pick to be Muslim practice themselves on the religion earlier changing (i could wish, besides). those noted interior the religion could desire to study their faith with as lots zeal particularly of in simple terms accepting what the faculties and oldsters tell them. Then, i think that there could be a realisation that we do what we could desire to and the judgment would be accomplished on the final day.

Aww, that's really sweet. I bet she loves gifts, who doesn't? ;)

In fact, in Islam, giving gifts to each other is encouraged. But, there's a teeny-weeny problem here, since you want to send her a gift for her birthday. Now, I don't know how religious your friend is, but most religious Muslims don't celebrate birthdays because firstly, we follow our Prophets, none of whom ever celebrated their birthday, and secondly, it roots in pagan custom and it could lead to deifying a person (which is opposed to pure monotheism that's practiced in Islam).

But, she'll love it if you send her a gift on just any day, it doesn't have to be her birthday.

Hope that helps. :)

Something that she cannot get in Malaysia. That's what my sister sends her international pen pals and they do likewise. So a few times a year my sister gets for instance, candy you'll never see on the shelves here.

Bacon

Good lord she is a Muslim and lives in Malaysia stay away from those people.

everything is against the rules in malaysia. I'd send her,,,,ummmm, a ticket out of malaysia...

note; bacon was a great suggestion, but pictures of the prophet mohammad is even better....

I agree with Richard, bacon seems like the best option.
