How to make Ramadan Greetings in Arabic?

Question

How does one wish a fellow Muslim at the beginning of the holy month of Ramadan? Is it Ramadan Mubarak or Ramadan Karim?

How does one respond to such greetings?

Answer 1

ramadan karim is better

he will respond by thank  u or say it to u too

Answer 2

Both are commonly used and correct. Ramadan Mubarak literally translates to: Blessed Ramadan (May your Ramadan be blessed) while Ramadan Karim literally translates to: Generous Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak is what I tend to use more because of it's meaning compared to that of Ramadan Karim. A person responds by saying either Ramadan Mubarak or Ramadan Karim to the other.

Answer 3

Fasting during the month of Ramadan (also spelled Ramadhan, Ramzan, Ramadhaan), is one of the five pillars of Submission (Islam in Arabic). In the month of Ramadan, submitters (muslims / moslems) fast from dawn to sunset (if able). While fasting (seyam / saum / sawm) during Ramadan, the individual refrains from eating and drinking and practices continence. It is a time of worship and contemplation and to fulfill God's commands and grow one's soul. A time to strengthen family and community ties, and be on our best behaviour.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. God revealed the Quran to the prophet Muhammad, on the twenty-seventh night of Ramadan (this night is also referred to as the Layl at-ul Qadr, or the Night of Destiny), 13 B.H. (before Hijrah). This corresponds to 610 AD.

[Quran 2:185] Ramadan is the month during which the Quran was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and the statute book. Those of you who witness this month shall fast therein.

[Quran 97:1-5] We revealed it in the Night of Destiny. How awesome is the Night of Destiny! The Night of Destiny is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by their Lord's leave, to carry out every command. Peaceful it is until the advent of the dawn.
