  1. It is very true that we start to care more for each other when we give each other gifts.It is a very vital part of caring process.Islam has also liked it that we give each other gifts a lot.It`s such a nice collection of ahadees which we really need to follow especially the one which asks us to show maximum tolerance and co operation among each other.
