Eid mubarak is a traditional Muslim greeting reserved for use on the festivals of Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr. The phrase translates into English as "blessed festival", and can be paraphrased as "may you enjoy a blessed festival". Muslims wish each other Eid Mubarak after performing the Eid prayer. This celebration continues till the end of the day.

'Eid' refers to the occasion itself, and 'Mubarak' is roughly 'may it become good for you', but the phrase is used in the same context that Merry Christmas would be.

However throughout the Muslim world there are numerous other ways of greeting for Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr.
