Selamat Hari Raya as a Twitter trend

islamcrunch user Mikael Pittam islamcrunch comment Comments islamcrunch category Social Media, Web 2.0, twitter

As Muslims prepare to celebrate ‘Eid il Fitr around the world, the buzz is growing across the blogosphere and the Twitterverse. Popping up today on the Twitter Trending topics is the well known phrase in the South East Asian part of the Muslim world: Selamat Hari Raya. This Malay phrase translates to “Happy Celebration Day”. This greeting is used more commonly than the universal “Eid Mubarak” in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.

  • Assalamu Alikum,

    So I'll greet you with "Selamat Hari Raya" instead of "Eid Mubarak" since it is more populare in this region :). It goes for you, your family and the ones you love :)
  • Wa'alaykumsalam Hicham, thanks! I am in California, so either greeting works for me. Love is a universal language so whatever greeting that conveys love and peace is fine by me! 'Eid Kareem to your loved ones and your good self.
  • Eid Mubarak was number on twitter
