Why Attar Is So Popular Amongst Muslims
February 13th, 2010 by admin
Perfume was the Prophet Muhammad’s (SAW) most favorite worldly possession, and because of this, it is the Islamic gift of choice for many Muslims. Attar which a common term used for Islamic perfume has absolutely no alcohol, as it is prohibited for Muslims to wear perfumes which contain alcohol, and so Muslims use them widely for all occasions. In the past, Islamic perfumes were not easily available and could only be purchased from select retailers in certain countries. Today however, due to vast usage by Muslims worldwide, they are now easily available in all Muslim as well as Non Muslim countries and are used for Islamic Gifts on Eid festivals, weddings and other happy occasions.
