Do you have Muslim friends or colleagues? A reader asks:
"We Jews say L'Shanah Tovah [for a happy New Year] to each other during Rosh Hashanah, and we have other expressions of greeting tailored to other holidays. I suspect that the same is true of Muslims. Is there some place I can look to learn these, as I have several Muslim acquaintances I'd like to greet during Ramadan and their other holidays?"

Dear brothers and sisters…
Assalam Alaikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatu.
The right thing to say is Ramadan Mubarak and not Ramadan Kareem…
(Sheik Uthaymeen: said:
The ruling concerning this is, this phrase “Ramadan Kareem” is not correct, and the only phrase that should be said is “Ramadan Mubarak” or what resembles that. Because Ramadan is not the one that gives such that it can be called generous (Kareem), rather it is only ALLAH the Exalted that put virtue in it and made it a virtuous month.)
We say Ramadan Mubarak because we congratulate each other for the blessing Allah has bestowed on us which is to be present during a month of forgiveness and reward…
May Allah accept your good deeds and your sins be forgiven.
Salam u Aleykum wa rahmatullah. Ramadan is the month of purity. So we try our best to offer our prayers perfectly and avoid doing mis-doings. May Allah forgive us of our sins and guide us to the right path.
