To all my muslim and non muslim forummers here!

You to, Nayinna!

Eid mubarak to all!

Eid Mubarak people.

Eid Mubarik guys...It's always the best day of the year for me!

Gotta be better than Jehan.

eid mubarak all, to those who celebrated today n to those who will be doing it tomorrow.

Id mubarak!!

And btw, it's either happy Id or Id mubarak.

And wth is Jehan?

if u speak punjabi or urdu its always eid mubarak n not happy eid. I think jehan mubarak is a person but not exactly sure who!

Eid Mubarak from me too for all who celebrate this marvellous event. eid in most part of India will be on Wednesday when Pakistan will be playing their second game of the ICC tournament - hope it is a good one for them, especially as some of them would have kept as many fast as possible.

Why is that? (Just interested, as I know little about Eid Mubarak.)

The biggest 'festival'(for lack of a better word) in the muslim world.

And 'mubarak' means congratulations.

I've always wanted to know....is Happy Eid a proper greeting? Or is the proper greeting Eid Mubarak? Does Happy Eid Mubarak make any sense? Just wondering.

How is it celebrated? Is it at the end of Ramadan?

That's like asking whether Merry Christmas was a proper greeting or is Happy Christmas OK? It doesn't make much of a difference. Id Mubarak means - Congratulations on Id.

Yes, at the end of Ramadan, when the moon(Id ka chand) is seen.

Some of the muslim forummers here would know more than me though.

happy eid mubarak is hat speak. Simple 'Eid mubarak' will do

Don't be some religious zealot. Learn to respect other cultures/religions.

Many reasons
1- Chance to take a day off from work and school.
2- Get to pray together with thousands of other Muslims ( this time the attendance was about 10,000)
3- Chance to meet my buddies and family.
4- Awesome food.

It's similar to Christmas

It's considered a "reward" from God for fasting in the month of Ramadan

Have a jolly Idul Fitri.

The Pakistanis must get pretty drained playing during Ramadan.

Is a festival actually held? (Mind you, after a month of fasting just eating normal meals is probably great!)

Some people break their fast in the night during Ramzan, pretty extravagantly though. Dates, vermicelli, chicken, etc.
