Use wishes that fit the relationship
A family message can be personal and prayerful; a workplace message should usually be shorter and respectful. Avoid attributing made-up sentences to the Qur’an, the Prophet ﷺ or a named scholar merely to make a greeting sound more authoritative.
Examples should not pretend to be scripture
A good wish can ask for accepted fasting, beneficial worship, peace and health without putting invented words in quotation marks beside the Prophet’s name. If a message borrows Qur’anic wording, identify the verse rather than blending it into an unattributed greeting.
Context changes tone
For a colleague, a brief respectful message is usually appropriate. For close family, a specific personal prayer is more meaningful. For someone grieving or ill, avoid cheerful clichés that ignore their situation.
Avoid manufactured religious authority
A wish can say “May Allah accept your fasting and prayers” without claiming to quote scripture. If a Qur’anic verse is added, preserve the translation and reference; if the wording is original, leave it unattributed.
Do not over-personalise sensitive situations
Someone may not be fasting because of illness, pregnancy, travel or another private reason. A greeting should not ask them to justify observance. Wish them a beneficial Ramadan without assuming details.
Messages for organisations
Businesses and schools should avoid turning the greeting into promotional copy or stereotyping all Muslims as following the same timetable. A simple, accurate message is stronger than a paragraph of generic phrases.
