Bantul's Office of the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region, appealed to the public to maintain tolerance between religious believers in the implementation of traveling takbir ahead of Eid Al-Fitr 1445 Hijri, Tuesday 9 April.

Ahmad Sidqi, Head of the Bantul Ministry of Religion Office, emphasized that the implementation of the traveling takbir must pay attention to the provisions that have been submitted in the Circular Letter of the Minister of Religion. Local governments are asked to regulate these activities so that they continue to run in full wisdom.

"We appeal to the public to maintain tolerance between religious communities as long as the traveling takbir is carried out," said Ahmad Sidqi in Bantul, Tuesday.

According to Ahmad Sidqi, traveling takbir should not be carried out until late at night, not beyond 23.00 WIB. If there are still night takbir activities, it is advisable to do it inside the mosque to avoid disturbances to the surrounding community.

"It is very important for the takbir committee to adjust the activity time well, considering that the next day we will carry out Eid prayers," he added.

Meanwhile, the Bantul Regional Secretary, Agus Budi Rahardjo, emphasized that his party had coordinated with the police and related agencies regarding traveling takbir activities. There are restrictions on the volume of votes and determination of the mobile takbir route to avoid potential vulnerabilities.

"Tourism takbir is still allowed, but the volume of votes must be limited and follow the designated regional zones," said Agus Budi Rahardjo.

The local government hopes that the implementation of this traveling takbir will run smoothly and not disturb the order and activities of the surrounding community. This is sought to create a conducive and peaceful atmosphere in celebrating Eid al-Fitr.
