><\/u><\/strong> I would like to start with three popular phrases (in spoken Arabic) that people say to each other during Eid.<\/u><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u064a\u0650\u0646\u0652\u0639\u064e\u0627\u062f \u0639\u064e\u0644\u0650\u064a\u0643\u064f\u0645\u060c \u0628\u0627\u0644\u0635\u062d\u0629 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0629<\/strong><\/p>\n

(May it\u2019s repeated for you\/ you witness it again, with health and wellbeing)<\/p>\n

*It: refers to Eid.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The other one is:<\/p>\n

\u0625\u0646 \u0634\u0627\u0621 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0643\u0644 \u0639\u0627\u0645 \u0648\u0625\u0646\u062a\u0648 \u0633\u0627\u0644\u0645\u064a\u0646<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Inshallah every year, you\u2019re well\/protected)<\/p>\n

*This phrase is dominantly used in the Levant region.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And this one:<\/p>\n

\u0625\u0646 \u0634\u0627\u0621 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0645\u0646 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u064a\u062f\u064a\u0646 \u0648\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0627\u064a\u0632\u064a\u0646<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Inshallah you will be among those repeaters and winners).<\/p>\n

*Repeaters: to witness Eid again.<\/em><\/p>\n

= = = = = = = =<\/strong><\/p>\n

>> Now, let\u2019s have a look at the most popular hashtag on Twitter this year. <\/u><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I noticed two hashtags in Arabic that were included in most posts, these are:<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

#\u0639\u064a\u062f\u0643_\u0641\u064a_\u0628\u064a\u062a\u0643<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Your Eid in your house<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

#\u0639\u064a\u062f_\u0627\u0644\u0641\u0637\u0631_2020<\/a><\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Eid 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example, you can see the first hashtag<\/strong> appears in the post below by \u201cUNICEF Libya\u201d account. The photo included is designed by a Libyan artist, featuring people \u062a\u064f\u0638\u0647\u0631 \u0623\u0634\u062e\u0627\u0635\u0650\u0627<\/strong> dressed up in \u00a0\u064a\u0631\u062a\u062f\u0648\u0646 their traditional clothes \u0645\u0644\u0627\u0628\u0633\u0647\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0642\u0644\u064a\u062f\u064a\u0629<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

*Translation of what\u2019s in the post:<\/em> \u201cHow beautiful Eid gathering is, at home with family, and a cup of tea and biscuits1<\/a><\/sup>The word originally used is \u201cKa\u0295k\u201d, which is a type of traditional, homemade Arabic sweets, close in their texture to biscuits.<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Have a blessed Eid, and may it\u2019s repeated for you with health, security and peace\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There was also another hashtag created by Aramco, the Saudi oil company \u0634\u0631\u0643\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u0646\u0641\u0637 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0639\u0648\u062f\u064a\u0629 and that is:<\/strong><\/p>\n

#\u0642\u0644\u0648\u0628\u0646\u0627_\u0644\u0643\u0645_\u0623\u0642\u0631\u0628<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our hearts are closer to you<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The hashtag appeared in a short video clip posted by the company\u2019s account.<\/p>\n
