99+ eid al fitr mubarak wishes, greetings, & messages with cards 2024

Celebrated with delicious food, joyous gatherings, and loved ones, Eid al-Adha (عيد الأضحى) and Eid al-Fitr (عيد الفطر) are cherished by millions worldwide. Here’s a quick guide to Arabic greetings for a happy and blessed Eid, along with the usual responses!

1. Eid Mubarak (عيد مبارك) or Eidkom Mubarak (عيدكم مبارك) – Across the Arab world

Wishing someone a happy Eid is often done with “Eid Mubarak,” which translates to “blessed Eid” in both singular and plural forms. It’s a versatile greeting for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. In response, common phrases include “Eid Mubarak” back, “Allah yebarek feek/i” (meaning “God bless you too”), or simply “Shukran” (thank you).

For a more inclusive greeting that extends well wishes to someone’s family as well, “Eidkom Mubarak” is commonly used. It translates to “blessed Eid to all of you.” Replies would follow a similar pattern as the singular greeting.

2. Eid Mubarak (عيد مبارك) or Eidkom Mubarak (عيدكم مبارك) – Yemen (slight variation)

This is the same wish as above, however, it is important to note that in the Yemeni dialect, the conversation will unfold differently:

Speaker 1: عيد مبارك (Eid Mubarak)

Speaker 2: عيد مبارك (Eid Mubarak)

Speaker 1: كل عام وأنت بألف خير (Kul عام وانت بألف خير)  (meaning, “May you have good health every year”)

Speaker 2: وأنت بخير (Wa anta bikhair)  (meaning, “And you as well”)

3. Eid Saeed (عيد سعيد) – Across the Arab world 

In Arabic communities across North Africa and the Persian Gulf, a simple “Eid Mubarak” (عيد مبارك) conveys “Happy Eid” for any celebration. Replies include “Eid Saeed” (عيد سعيد) or “Eid Mubarak” too, but the most common is “A’layna wa a’leykom” (علينا وعليكم), meaning “Upon us and upon you [all].”

For specific Eids, add “Fitr” (فطر) for Eid al-Fitr or “Adha” (اضحى) for Eid al-Adha, making the greetings “Eid Fitr Saeed” (عيد فطر سعيد) and “Eid Adha Saeed” (عيد اضحى سعيد). Responses remain the same, with “Eid Mubarak” or “A’layna wa a’leykom” being most appropriate.

4. Eid Adha mubarak (عيد اضحى مبارك) – Across the Arab world 

While “Eid Mubarak” is the universal greeting, for Eid al-Adha, a more specific option exists: “[Blessed Eid al-Adha]”. Respond with the same phrase, or use “Eid Mubarak,” “Happy Eid” (Eid سعيد), or “May God bless you too” (Allah yebarek feek/i).

5. Adha mubarak a’aljamie’ (أضحى مبارك عالجميع) – Levant

Levantine Arabic for Eid al-Adha has a specific greeting: “Eid Adha Mubarak kul al-wāhid” (عيد أضحى مبارك الكل واحد). This translates to “Blessed Eid al-Adha to everyone.” In response, you might hear “Amin ya rabb, Adha mubarak” (آمين يارب أضحى مبارك), which means “Amen dear Lord, [have a] blessed Adha [to you, too].”

6. Kol ‘am wa entou bekhair (كل عام وأنتو بخير) – Levant 

Another Levantine greeting, ‘Kol ‘am wa entou bekhair,’ translates to ‘May every year bring you goodness.’ The response, ‘wa entou bekhair,’ simply means ‘and to you too.’ It’s used in plural form for one or more people, reflecting well wishes for their families as well.

8. Kol eid wa entou bekhair (كل عيد و وانتوا بخير) – Levant
