What are the meanings of "Selamat makan sahur" and "Selamat bersahur"? Hi, can a Malay speaker please tell me what are the meanings of the Ramadan greetings: "Selamat makan sahur" and "Selamat bersahur"? Also, besides the Ramadan greetings: "Selamat berpuasa", "Selamat puasa" and "Selamat berbuka puasa", what are some other greetings that Muslim Malaysians and Indonesians say during the holy month of Ramadan? Terima kasih (thank you) in advance for your replies! :)

'sahur' is the meal, 'bersahur' means to have sahur.

Thank you for your kind response! :) Does "sahur" have the same meaning as "bersahur"?

sahur is suhoor or the meal you eat before you start fasting which is from dawn to sunset. selamat makan means happy eating. it's what you say to those who are going to fast that day.
