The Softic Family Foundation is in the process of building its website so that it can continue to provide holiday gifts. Each gift will be accompanied by a version of the following letter.
Dear [Recipient’s Name],
Happy Holiday [Insert holiday greeting]! In the spirit of compassion and unity, the Softic Family Foundation is honored to share this gift with you during this special season. In accordance with Islamic tradition, it is customary to give to family, neighbors, friends, and those less fortunate as a reflection of gratitude and care for our community. In Islam, sharing with others is not only strongly encouraged but is also one of the pillars of the religion (Zakat al-Fitr). The act of giving serves the dual purpose of bringing joy to the recipient and as a means to cleanse the worshiper from attachment to material possessions.
We believe that acts of kindness and charity transcend religious and cultural boundaries, and it is our hope that this gesture fosters the values of friendship, understanding, and goodwill. In this spirit, we are pleased to offer this gift in celebration of religious tolerance, which may be delivered during any of the cherished religious holidays, including Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Christmas, Rosh Hashanah, Diwali, and others.
May this gift bring warmth and joy to you and your loved ones. We wish you peace, health, and prosperity.
With warm regards,
Samir Softic
Director, Softic Family Foundation
