To wish someone a happy Ramadan, we'd say, "Ramadan Mubarak." “Mubarak” means “blessed” in the Arabic language.

It’s generally considered acceptable and not offensive to say “Happy Ramadan.” However, you may want to try a more traditional alternative like “Ramadan Mubarek,” which means “blessed Ramadan,” or “Ramadan Kaeem,” which means “generous Ramadan.” These greetings are more commonly used than “Happy Ramadan.”
