The author captures the quiet power of sacrifice through this heartfelt retelling of the classic short story The Gift of the Magi. The Gift of Eid beautifully reframes the story through an Islamic lens. Set in Syria, she gently weaves in the ache of grief and the warmth of family, showing how joy and pain can coexist, and how family becomes a vessel for healing. The Prophet ﷺ said: “You will not attain true righteousness until you give of that which you love.” This story brings that truth to life, reminding readers—young and old—that sacrifice is at the heart of love, and love is at the heart of faith. A powerful reminder that the most meaningful gifts aren’t wrapped in paper—they’re wrapped in love.
