Impunity wrote:What about Eid ul Mubarak? @impunity I like your humour...  " Eid Mubarak" is traditional Muslim greeting used during the festivals of Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr. The phrase is Arabic, which translates into English as " blessed festival". It can re-phrased as " may you enjoy a blessed festival" And Eid refers to the occasion itself, and Mubarak means "Blessed", yaani 'baraka' in swa. So there are two main holidays in Islam: Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha. Eid Al-Fitr is celebrated at the end of Ramadan (a month of fasting), and Muslims usually give zakat ( charity) on the occasion. Eid Al-Adha is celebrated at the end of Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca), and Muslims usually sacrifice an animal and distribute its meat amongst family, friends and the poor.
