Minister of Religion (Menag) of the Republic of Indonesia Nasaruddin Umar invited the public to use the momentum of Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijri which fell simultaneously on Monday (31/3) as a momentum to strengthen tolerance and togetherness in society.
"Hopefully this decision is a means for Muslims in Indonesia to maintain tolerance and togetherness both in carrying out worship and in society," he said at a press conference at the Isbat 1 Syawal 1446 Hijriah Session in Jakarta, Saturday.
Previously, the Government through the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) of the Republic of Indonesia officially determined that Eid al-Fitr 1 Syawal 1446 Hijri falls on Monday (31/3). This stipulation was also agreed upon by the majority of Islamic religious organizations in Indonesia, including Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah.

He appealed to the public to optimize the Ramadan worship on an additional occasion for one day.
He invites Muslims to perfect their worship deeds which so far are considered to be still not optimal.
"Let's clean ourselves up and don't add any more sins, hopefully this will be our best month of Ramadan, which God willing, will lead us into the door of heaven," he said, as quoted by Antara.
Chairman of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) KH Abdullah Jaidi on the same occasion also invited the public to implement personal piety by all Muslims in Ramadan to become social piety in interacting in the community.
The momentum of Eid al-Fitr which is carried out simultaneously, he said, must be used as a momentum for togetherness which is marked by helping, mutual respect and respect among religious communities in Indonesia.
"Hopefully this Eid al-Fitr moment will be a positive value in our concern movement, in society, nation and state," he said.
