JAKARTA - The Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta is concentrating the Eid al-Adha 1443 Hijri prayer at the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) on Sunday, July 10. Residents who intend to attend are advised to comply with regulations, adhere to health protocols and have vaccinated the third dose.

Residents or congregants for Eid prayers are also advised to keep wearing masks even in open spaces.

"It is appealed to all people who wish to participate to remain orderly and disciplined in carrying out health protocols (prokes) for the sake of mutual comfort," said the Daily Executor (Plh) of DKI Jakarta Provincial Secretary Sigit Wijatmoko at Jakarta City Hall, reported by ANTARA Wednesday, July 6.

Congregants are also advised to bring prayer equipment from their homes. "Please bring personal worship equipment, attend Eid prayers and sermons solemnly and do not crowd after the activity," he said.

Sigit said that the implementation of the Eid prayer had been coordinated with the DKI Jakarta Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), the Indonesian Mosque Council (DMI) and other Islamic institutions. In principle, the institutions state that the implementation of Eid prayers at JIS is in accordance with the rules (kaifiat) of Eid prayers.

In addition, to ensure the sanctity of the place of prayer, the location will be cleaned by involving various Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government.

Various infrastructures to support Eid prayers at JIS have also been prepared, such as ablution areas, parking lots and toilets. However, even though a place for ablution has been provided, it is advisable to perform ablution from home to reduce queues and so that prayers can start on time.

Everything needed for Eid prayer has been prepared. All OPDs have also been assigned tasks to ensure that the Eid prayer can be carried out successfully.

"Therefore, let's continue to wear masks during the activity and complete the 'booster' vaccination. Hopefully the Eid al-Adha prayers will support #LebaranAman&Health in Jakarta," said Sigit.

The Eid prayer 1443 Hijriah is located at the West Ramp, East Ramp, North and South "concourses" of JIS. However, the DKI Provincial Government (Pemprov) has also prepared an alternative place for Eid prayer at one of the locations in JIS if it rains.

In addition, it is planned that the Khatib will be KH Syukron Mam'un and the Imam of the Eid prayer will be KH Muhammad Ali.

"The comfort and safety of the congregation is the main thing for us so that the implementation of the Feast of Sacrifice in Jakarta can make #KurbanSemakinIstimewa," said Sigit.

This Eid prayer on Eid al-Adha is the second time held at JIS after the previous Eid prayer was held in early May.
