Eid Mubarak, what to write and when to send it
Eid Mubarak (عِيدٌ مُبَارَكٌ) means "a blessed Eid". It is the greeting Muslims send on Eid al-Fitr, at the end of Ramadan, and on Eid al-Adha, in the days of Hajj. Use the card maker above to put it in Arabic and English on a card with your names, then send it on the morning of Eid.
The greeting of the Companions
When the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ met each other on the day of Eid, they said taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum, "may Allah accept from us and from you" (reported by Jubayr ibn Nufayr; Ibn Hajar graded its chain hasan). It is a dua that Allah accepts the fasting, the prayers and the sacrifice, which is what matters most after a season of worship. Choose it in the Greeting box for a card that carries the Companions' words. Many people write both: "Eid Mubarak, taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum".
Is it allowed to say Eid Mubarak?
Hanafi position
Greeting one another on Eid with taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum is permitted and good. Ibn Abidin records that later Hanafi scholars held it to be recommended, since it is reported from the Companions, and that the same applies to other good greetings such as Eid Mubarak.
