'Ramadan Mubarak' to  All Moslems All Over The World

"Ramadan kareem", which means “Ramadan is generous”

 You would respond to this with, "Allahu Akram"  - "God is more generous"

"Ramadan mubarak", which means "Blessed Ramadan"

Every year, Muslims across the globe observe a month of daily fasting. The ninth month of the Islamic calendar involves abstaining from food, drink, smoking and sex between early morning and sunset. Fasting - during Ramadan or for other reasons - is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, the others being faith, prayer, charity and the pilgrimage to Mecca.

Coming in the longer days of summer, as well as during the time when the school exams take place, students are encouraged to get good rest at night, so they will be able to thrive throughout their day.

This is the month in which the Qur'an was revealed to the prophet Muhammad and so it's regarded as a time filled with blessings when worshippers focus their minds and bodies on spirituality rather than on earthly needs and indulgences.

It's traditional to convey greetings and blessings to those who are about to begin an entire month of fasting.

And once the month of fasting is over, it's time to celebrate Eid ul Fitr and wish each other Eid Mubarak.
