salamu alaykum written in the Thuluth style of Arabic calligraphy. As-salamu alaykum (Arabic: ٱلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ, romanized: as-salāmu ʿalaykum, pronounced [as.sa.laː.mu ʕa.laj.kum] ⓘ), also written salamun alaykum and typically rendered in English as salam alaykum, is a greeting in Arabic that means 'Peace be upon you'.
For Ramadan, common greetings are “Ramadan Mubarak” or “Ramadan Kareem.” “Mubarak” means “filled with blessings” and “Kareem” means "generous" in Arabic.

Most believe that when greeted by non-Muslims, Muslims can only respond by stating "wa ʿalaykum" ("and upon you") instead of the longer version, while others suggest replying with a salam.
