During the month of Ramadan, Muslims observe a strict fast and participate in pious activities such as charitable giving and peace-making. It is a time of intense spiritual renewal for those who observe it. At the end of Ramadan, Muslims throughout the world observe a joyous three-day celebration called Eid al-Fitr (the Festival of Fast-Breaking).

Eid al-Fitr is Arabic, I´ve been told that in Turkey most people say ´Şeker bayramı´ or ´Ramazan bayramı´.

 Just a note,the white Writings in that picture isnt arabic,its farsi,only the yellow Writings is in arabic,and means blessed Eid

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 Can you read the Farsi part? (It is from the same language family as Arabic, isn´t it?)

Farsi is not in the same linguistic family as Arabic, Arabic is a Semitic language like Hebrew, and Farsi is actually an Indo-Iranian language so it´s distantly related to Indo-European languages like English.

 Thanks Roswitha. Ramadan karim 

 Are Ramadan start on the 1st of September too?

 Didn´t know that, sorry. (I must say they look very much the same to me....   )

Jingi, please try googling  to find dates, etc.

Muabark is used in Urdu language, Karim is arabic but also used in Urdu language. The people in Arab countries, used to say "ramdan karim", (as i noticed in saudi arabia).


But in Pakistan, poeple used to say "Ramdan Mubarak". No matters, what you use, the thing is how much you get blessed being religious in this Muabark month.

So this Ramadan Karim is Mubarak to you all.

 Its greeting words for "Month Ramadan" not for its ending "Ramazan Bayramı". In Turkey we say "Hayırlı Ramazanlar" or "Ramazanınız Mübarek Olsun" we dont say "Ramadan Kareem" because its arabic.

Ramadan started on 1st September at Malaysia, just curious is it same day in Turkey too

Thanks for sharing this Roswitha. First time i heard bout Mubarak, usually i heard friends  wish Ramadan Karim

opps... im lil confuse now ~ are both  "Hayırlı Ramazanlar" or "Ramazanınız Mübarek Olsun" means the same as in to greet beginging of month ramadan or  when break fast?

Ramdan starts at the same time all over the world, it usually just dffers one day depending on when they saw the moon (i think).......

Why??? they say mubarak here too, i here it all the time, mubarak is an arabic word, i think, actually yeah it is, it means blessed (i think)

me too! I sware i thought the white was arabic and that i just didnt know how to read it lol, cause most of teh time i cant read that wierd way of writing, lol

It starts the same day, but not the same time. Yesterday a Turkish friend told me at 19.40 Turkish time it was iftar while - also Turkish time - it was iftar here at 21.28! A difference of almost two hours longer fasting!

yeah but at the place where they fitar earlier the fajr is earlier so they have less time to eat and drink bt the place where they fast late the fajr s also late depends on where you are in the world, when the time the sun comes up and the time when the sun goes down, again i repeat (i think)

Well, you can compare, these are the Dutch times (with slight differences of minutes between several cities and in Holland it is one hour earlier than in Egypt). The first time is the morning prayer time, the second time is sunset.

sorry bit late on this, just read that only the men would go to the morning prayer during eid,....is that true?
