TULUNGAGUNG - Around 100 people carried out the 1447 Hijriah Eid al-Fitr prayer early at the Nur Muhammad Al Muhdlor Mosque, Wates Village, Sumbergempol District, Tulungagung Regency, East Java, with police security.
The implementation of the worship took place solemnly since the morning at around 06.30 WIB, Thursday, March 19, in the local pesantren pondok environment which has always been known for having the tradition of setting the holiday earlier.
AKP Mochamad Anshori, head of the Sumbergempol Police, said his party deployed open and closed security to ensure that activities were safe and conducive.
"The number of pilgrims is around 100 people and the implementation runs smoothly. We carry out open and closed security to anticipate potential disturbances," he said as quoted by ANTARA.
He said that this activity was the only early Eid prayer in the Sumbergempol area and was centered in the pondok environment.
Even though it took place in a limited manner, the series of worship ran like the implementation of the Id prayer in general. After the prayer, the congregation shook hands and continued with a meal in the form of a blessing or ambeng rice.
On the other hand, community activities around the location are still normal. A number of residents who followed the government's determination of 1 Syawal appeared to pass in front of the mosque area to perform tomb visits to ancestral graves around the complex.
The difference in the time of Eid al-Fitr in the region did not trigger friction among the community.
One of the pilgrims, Hasan (60), said the difference was a common thing and was still lived with mutual respect.
"We don't participate (in the early Eid), we just follow the government's (1 Syawal decree). This is the one who participates in the Id prayer, it is special for the gus e (ustadz-nya)," said Hasan.
He said that as pilgrims and Al Muhdlor pilgrims had expressed, the phenomenon of determining the holiday differently was part of the dynamics of religious life that was common and considered a normal thing for the surrounding community.
