Last weekend the blessed month of Ramadan began.
And when that month comes to an end, Muslims worldwide will celebrate Eid.
Most of us know that Ramadan is the month when Muslims fast during daylight hours and that, at the end of the month, they celebrate the festival, Eid-al Fitr.

But 'Ramadan Mubarak' can be translated as, 'Ramadan Greetings' and 'Ramadan Kareem' literally means, 'Generous Ramadan'
