These are some of the ways in which many Muslims welcome the fasting month between family, friends and neighbours, and is well used throughout the fasting month, when greeting people for the first time.
Before the fasting month begins, Muslims around the world prepare and wait for the arrival of Ramadan to be announced by the Saudi moon sighting committee or their local mosque.
The holy month of Ramadan has finally begun, with Muslims from around the world observing a period of fasting to test their strength and devotion to God.
A saying familiar to many Muslims around the globe is, ‘Ramadan Mubarak’ which simply means ‘Blessed Ramadan’.
Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar and is celebrated by Muslims globally.
