بفضل من الله سبحانه وتعالى.
حيث يوجد الحزن
نرجو أن يكون هناك فرح ،
حيثما توجد حرب
فليكن هناك سلام.

By the grace of God.
Where there is sorrow,
let there be joy,
Where there is war,
let there be peace.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is a beautiful place within the Old Walled City of Jerusalem.
It is the third-holiest site in Islam.
When you go inside, it feels so big and peaceful.

Looks like you're getting Eid Mubarak mixed up with Ramadan.

Is your quote a version of Francis of Assisi's famous prayer? Or does it have it's origins elsewhere?

Its Ramadan.
Eid is breaking the fast.
My Muslim friend says its ok, so if she says its ok, then its ok.

(y) السلام عليكم

So would you wish people a Happy Easter on Ash Wednesday?

My Muslim neighbour said your Muslim friend must have felt sorry for you and was just being nice. They would never say Eid Mubarak before Eid al-Fitr.

Wrong again my friend, breaking fast during Ramadan is called Iftar 😅

Glad you are so informed about the Muslim religion.
Perhaps we can all learn a lot more about it, in order to confront Islamophobia.
Its been on the rise and deliberately fuelled by right-wing politicians to provide cover for the massacres in Gaza and the West Bank.
By the way, you get the point about not having to be religious to celebrate religious festivals and occasions?
Are you religious?
 
Bit tough on the kids innit ? IMO
The www infopile says from 6 to7 young kids might want to join what the adult family is doing and that's ok they can dip in and out but from 11 to 12 years old it's seen as an obligation. So a 13 year old Muslim kid in the UK will be expected to refrain from taking in any food and drink from 4.40am until 7.00pm for 30 days . Quite tough if they go to a regular school that has mixed faiths as non Muslim kids will be eating school brekkie , lunch and no doubt snacking in breaks. I don't think I ever refused a spare crisp or sweet or swig of pop that was offered by a friend at school at that age !

Even tougher in Gaza where the Israeli fanatics are using starvation as a weapon of war.
There are many religions where fasting is part of their tradition and beliefs.

No problem, I'm pleased to have been able to educate you on something which you clearly would like to know more about (y)

I'm not sure I understand the relevance on the Islamophobia comment, however, if you are looking to begin a topic of conversation to create more respectful discussion and interest around a different religion or culture, it is probably wise just to double check that you are posting about the correct celebration. Otherwise, the lack of knowledge may come across to some people as actually quite disrespectful, really?

Personally, I am not religious at all, no, are you? I do however live in a Muslim country and have for several years, so I have a reasonable amount of knowledge on their different celebrations and festivals.

Ramadan is actually my favourite month, as I can finish at 1pm every day.
