'Eid Mubarak, peeps!' is a typical way to greet and/or wish someone during  Eid Al-Fitr.  Well, minus the peeps, of course. unless that particular colloquialism floats your boat. Our point is, you might be surprised to learn there are plenty of other ways to wish Eid Mubarak depending on where you live. For Instance, many countries follow the typical way of greeting - 'Eid Mubarak' which translates to ' Have a Blessed Eid' However, it can be myopic to assume that people all over the world adhere to this particular greeting. “Selamat Hari Raya” is the traditional greeting used by Malay Muslims which means “Happy Hari Raya” and Hari Raya marks the end of Ramadan and the celebration of Eid al-Fitr. In Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei, Eid is more commonly known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Jawi: هاري راي عيدالفطري), Hari Raya Idul Fitri, Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Fitrah or Hari Lebaran. Hari Raya means 'Celebration Day'. And just like this, there are plenty of other countries, like China, Ghana, Indonesia have different phrases to greet each other during Eid Al-Fitr. Here's how some countries wish Eid Mubarak. Share Happy Eid Quotes, greetings and stickers with your loved ones.
