You may accept their gifts and reply to them kindly but a month or so before your next birthday, tell them to please not give me any gifts and show them the Islamic point of view if they are Muslims.

I have alot of friends and they are really good masha allah. I always thank Allah for giving me such good friends because they often remind me of Allah and correct my mistakes. But the thing is they wish me on my birthday and give me gifts. I know it is not correct and I do not like it but I don’t know how to stop them. I feel like it will be rude if I tell them not to do and take away the gifts. What should I do?

People say that you can forgive people and then its up to you if you want to know them or have relationship with them. You’ve forgiven them and its enough because the prophet (saw) forgave Hind but till the end he did not look at her even once because of what she did to his uncle Hamza (ra) by getting him killed and taking his heart out. So is it true?
