Islamic Phrases

Ramadan Mubarak in Arabic

Ramadan Mubarak

Blessed Ramadan.

Meaning

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, the month of fasting. Mubarak means "blessed" and kareem means "generous". Both are used as greetings. Some scholars prefer "Mubarak" because generosity belongs to Allah rather than to the month, while others consider "Kareem" acceptable; both are widely used.

When to say it: Said to greet people at the start of and during Ramadan.

Also spelled Ramadan Mubarak, Ramazan Mubarak, Ramadhan Mubarak, Ramadan Kareem, Marhaban Ya Ramadan, Selamat Berpuasa.

Said on Laylatul Qadr, Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Shab-e-Barat.
