50 Eid Greetings for Colleagues and Bosses: How to Say “Mohon Maaf Lahir Batin” in English and Balinese

BADUNG, Bali — As the holy month of Ramadan draws to a close, Muslims across Bali and around the world prepare to celebrate Idul Fitri, a time of spiritual renewal, family gatherings, and—perhaps most significantly in the workplace—moments of reconciliation.

The tradition of seeking and offering forgiveness, known in Indonesia as “mohon maaf lahir dan batin,” is central to the holiday. For professionals working in Bali’s multicultural environment, where colleagues may come from different islands, countries, and faith traditions, finding the right words to express this sentiment can strengthen workplace relationships and build lasting goodwill.

Whether you’re sending a quick message to a supervisor, a thoughtful email to a team member, or a group note to your office chat, here are 50 Eid greetings in both English and Balinese—crafted to suit the diverse workplaces that define modern Bali.

More Than Just Words

These Eid greetings are more than messages to be sent via text or social media. They represent a sincere intention to strengthen relationships, nurture workplace harmony, and create a warmer, more respectful professional environment.

In Bali’s uniquely multicultural setting—where Balinese Hinduism meets Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, and other faiths—the tradition of seeking forgiveness transcends religious boundaries. It becomes a shared cultural practice that reinforces the island’s spirit of tolerance and mutual respect.

Whether you choose English for international colleagues or Balinese to honor the island’s local culture, the sentiment remains the same: a wish for peace, a request for forgiveness, and hope for continued collaboration in the year ahead.

Rahajeng Idul Fitri 1447 H. Moga-maga kerahayuan miwah karahajengan satata ngiringin iraga sami.
