wa `Aleykum al-Salam,

It's not obligatory but it does have a Shar`ee basis which is good manners and wishing your brothers well and strengthening bonds between Muslims and showing good will and wishing others the best to make them happy ect...

^ All of this has Shar`ee basis.

And there is this:

كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخل رجب قال اللهم بارك لنا في رجب و شعبان و بلغنا رمضان

Anas narrated: When Rajab came the Prophet (SAWS) used to say: "O Allah bless this Rajab and Sha`ban and let us receive Ramadan."

So asking Allah to bless the month for you and your brothers isn't odd.

brother, nothing above gives a specific basis for wishing some one happy ramadhan at the start of the month. I am looking for any references from our pious predecessor's history (they too had Ramadhans!)- not as an argument but out of interest only.
