JAKARTA - House of Representatives (DPR) Chairwoman Puan Maharani invites all Indonesian people to make the Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijriah/2026 Masehi a moment to knit togetherness and concern.
He said Eid al-Adha, which is synonymous with the sacrifice and pilgrimage, is considered to be the right moment to strengthen social values.
"Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Adha teaches us about sincerity and sacrifice," said Puan in a statement in Jakarta, Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Puan carried out the Eid al-Adha prayer at the Baiturrahman Mosque which is located in the parliament complex, Senayan, Jakarta, together with DPR employees and residents around.
The Eid al-Adha prayer led by Ustadz Sahid Darajat took the theme "Eid al-Adha, the Momentum of Sacrifice Weaving Togetherness and Concern for Others".
According to Puan, Eid al-Adha is the right moment to reflect on the meaning of sharing. "Eid al-Adha also educates us to be human beings who have sensitivity and concern for others," he said.
Eid al-Adha, he said, showed how Muslims emulate the sincerity of Prophet Ibrahim and the fortitude of Prophet Ismail by giving sacrifices from those who have more resources to their fellow men.
Therefore, Puan invites the public to absorb the meaning of Eid al-Adha as a collective call for the nation to strengthen solidarity, togetherness, and social concern in facing various challenges.
"Let's realize the values of Idul in working together to overcome the problems of the nation," said Puan.
After the Eid al-Adha prayer, Puan was also invited to take a photo with a number of female worshipers. After that, he then saw the DPR sacrificial animals which would be cut on Thursday (28/5).
Puan himself donated a limousine cow weighing 1 ton which will be distributed to employees and the public around the DPR.
He also hopes that the 2026 Eid al-Adha moment can build awareness about the meaning of sacrifice that has been exemplified by Prophet Ibrahim. According to him, the sacrifice celebrated should make us more sensitive to the common interest and more persistent in fighting for social justice.
"On behalf of myself, my family, and the DPR RI, I wish you a happy Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijriah. I apologize for being born and hidden. May every sacrifice we make, both visible and hidden, be a way to glorify our lives as humans and as a nation," said Puan.
