How Do You Pronounce Eid Mubarak? | Metro News

Millions across the world are celebrating Eid-al-Fitr today, bringing the month-long fast of Ramadan to a close.

It is a very important date in the Islamic calendar, with Muslims marking the festival through prayer, feasting, sharing gifts and giving to charity.

Of course, you might want to pass on your best wishes to friends or colleagues celebrating Eid by wishing them ‘Eid Mubarak’ – which literally means ‘blessed celebration’ or ‘have a blessed celebration.’

But just how do you pronounce it? Here’s what you need to know…

How to pronounce ‘Eid Mubarak’

If you are wishing friends or colleagues ‘Eid Mubarak’, this is how you do it:

‘Eid’ is pronounced ‘Eed’- as in the word feed.

‘Mubarak’, meanwhile, is pronounced as it looks – ‘Mu-ba-rack’.

However you should place special emphasis on the ‘ba-rack’ part of the word when saying it.

How to say it in Arabic

Although the pronunciation is the same, there are a number of different ways of passing on Eid greetings in other languages, depending on where in the world you are.

In Arabic this is عيد مبارك‎‎, in Bengali: ঈদ মোবারক, in Pashto: اختر مبارک‎, in Persian: Eid muborak shavad, in Urdu: عید مُبارک, in Malayalam: ഈദ്‌ മുബാറക്‌, in Somali: Ciid wanaagsan, in Turkish: İyi bayramlar, in Tamil: ஈத் முபாரக், and in Malay: Selamat Hari Raya.

How to reply to Eid Mubarak greeting

When somebody wishes you Eid Mubarak it is polite to respond by saying ‘Khair Mubarak’, which wishes goodness on the person who greeted you.
