YOGYAKARTA It doesn't feel like Muslims have passed the 3rd week of Ramadan. There are a few days left for Victory Day. So, when is Eid Al-Fitr 2025?

This article will present information regarding the government's version of Eid al-Fitr 2025 schedule and Muhammadiyah. By knowing the Eid schedule, you can prepare yourself at the end of Ramadan. For example, by maximizing worship or arranging the homecoming plan. Come on, take note of the problem!

In Indonesia, the syawal 1 1446 H or Eid al-Fitr was determined in an isbat session. The initial stipulation of Syawal will be held by the government through the Ministry of Religion (Kemenang) on 29 Ramadan which coincides with March 29, 2025.

"We will hold the early Isbat Session of Syawal on March 29, 2025. As he said, the Isbat Session will always be held on the 29th of Syakban to determine the beginning of Ramadan," said Director General of Islamic Community Guidance Kemenang Abu Rokhmad in Jakarta, Tuesday, March 19, 2025, quoted from Antara.

In the early syawal determination, Kemenang used the method of reckoning and rukyat. This is in line with the Fatwa of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) No. 2 of 2024 concerning the Determination of the Beginning of Ramadan, Syawal, and Dzulhijjah.

Abu Rokhmad explained, in hisab (an astronomical calculation), ijtimak or conjunction was established on March 29, 2025 at 17.57.58 WIB. Therefore, based on astronomical data, when it was realized, the sun, the position of the hilal ranged from minus three in Papua and minus one in Aceh.

"We then verify these astronomical data through the rukyat mechanism," said Abu Rokhmad.

Furthermore, the Rukyatul Hilal process will be carried out at 33 points. The trial process will begin with the Hilal Position Seminar Awal Syawal 1446 H at 16.30 WIB until before sunset.

The Isbat session will be held at around 18.45 WIB which will take place behind closed doors. The results of the session will be announced through a press conference by the Minister of Religion Nasaruddin Umar.

In addition to rukyatul hilal, the initial determination of Syawal can also be done using the method of reckoning, as did Muhammadiyah, one of the largest Islamic organizations in Indonesia.

This organization issued the Declaration No. 1/MLM/1.0/E/2025 concerning the Determination of the Results of the Hisab of Ramadan, Syawal, and Zulhijjah 1446 H.

The following is a review of the government and Muhammadiyah version of the 2025 Eid schedule.

Officially, the government has not yet set a schedule for Eid al-Fitr 2025, because the initial syawal 1446 H session will only be held on March 29.

However, when referring to the 2025 Hijri Calendar compiled by the Republic of Indonesia's Victory, Eid al-Fitr 2025 is predicted to fall on Monday, March 31, 2025. This Eid schedule is also listed in the Joint Decree (SKB) of 3 Ministers Number 1017 of 2024, Number 2 of 2024, and Number 2 of 2024 concerning National Holidays and Joint Leave in 2025.

Meanwhile, based on the Muhammadiyah PP Declaration Number 1 / MLM / 1.O / E / 2025 concerning the Determination of the Results of the Ramadan, Syawal, and Zulhijjah Hisab 1446 Hijri, 1 Syawal 1446 H or Eid Al-Fitr 2025 falls on Monday, March 31, 2025.

The initial determination of Syawal was carried out using the method of hisab hakiki formul hilal.

Thus, based on government predictions and Muhammadiyah provisions, Eid al-Fitr 2025 will fall on Monday, March 31, 2025.
