Two of my students celebrate. The look on my one little boy’s face when I wished him Ramadan Mubarak upon his arrival yesterday was priceless!

My friend who is Indonesian and lives in New Zealand said in NZ, people who speak English often say "Happy Ramadan" but she also recommended "have a blessed Ramadan."

I just read an article that said Ramadan Kareem is a modern greeting that hasn’t been used for long so Ramadan Mubarak was preferable. I think the common ground is “recognize the holiday politely”.

See, this is an instance where "Happy Holidays" is so useful, Trump to the contrary.
