At an Eid salat, the imam who was leading it did say that we should try to make Eid a special occasion, especially for the children and family by giving them gifts, etc.
This is the first time I’ve heard of someone committing suicide for something like that.
These are all nice suggestions. If we generally have the attitude of looking at those who have less than what we have, then we will automatically be more grateful and appreciate what we have more.
This also isn’t the right attitude IMO. Praying five times, knowing Quran/ahadees are all important aspects of our deen, in addition to helping the needy.
