Ramadan Mubarak 2021: WhatsApp messages, quotes, wishes to send to your loved ones

The Islamic holy month of Ramadan or Ramzan is all set to begin from Tuesday, April 13 while Taraweeh began on April 12 after Isha prayers. Muslims celebrate the start of Ramadan by greeting each other with "Ramadan Mubarak" and "Ramadan Kareem", which means 'a blessed and generous month to you'.

Very much like last year, this time too, the festivities will be a bit different due to the COVID-19 pandemic. People are advised to stay inside and have to avoid stepping outside until utmost emergency during the holy month due to the virus.

Why is Ramadan celebrated?

Fasting during Ramadan is one of the fundamentals of being a true practising Muslim and is a time for intense prayer and religious devotion, with Muslims encouraged to observe five daily prayers throughout the day other than reciting the Quran.

It is believed that on the 27th day of Ramadan, God revealed the Quran (the Holy book of Islam) to the Prophet Muhammad more than 1,400 years ago.

Amid the COVID lockdown, if you are away from your loved ones, send them these heartfelt Ramadan Kareem greetings.

Here are some WhatsApp messages, wishes, and greetings to share with your friends and family this Ramadan:
