Sue R Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 It is Eid -ul -Fitr, Eid Mubarak is the traditional greeting Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rea Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I was totally with you Harricroft (Memo to self...Be aware of whats going on around me!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted November 13, 2004 Author Share Posted November 13, 2004 Sorry harricroft, as Sue R said Eid ul -fitr is the name of the festival (as opposed to Eid ul-Adha or big Eid which takes place in the new year). This Eid marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan and begins with the sighting of the new moon. Eid Mubarak is the traditional greeting which I believe loosly means 'happy festivities' (please correct me if I have this wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Thats my understanding Mundia, or even Happy Eid! Eid Mubarak everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie H Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 A phrase of greetings said among Muslims to congratulate each other on holidays. It literally means, "Blessed Festival!" The appropriate answer is, "Allah yubarak feek!" (May Allah bless it for you also!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
