How do you say “Eid Mubarak”, and how should my child reply?
Bloomtivo answers
“Eid Mubarak” means “Blessed Eid”. Reply with “Eid Mubarak” back, or “Khair Mubarak”. Many Muslims also say “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum” (May Allah accept from us and from you), a greeting reported from the Companions. Teach your child two greetings so they can answer anyone.

How to reply
To “Eid Mubarak”: “Eid Mubarak!” or “Khair Mubarak” (blessings to you too).
To “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum”: say the same back, or “Amin”.
To “Kullu ‘am wa antum bikhair”: “Wa antum bikhair” (and you too).
Greeting each other with “Taqabbal Allahu minna wa minkum” on Eid is reported from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ.
Teacher’s tip: Practise the greetings on the night before Eid, so your child can greet grandparents and teachers confidently in the morning.
