The Atmosphere Of Prayer At The Istiqlah Mosque Between

JAKARTA - The congregation of Eid prayers at the Al-Azhar Mosque, Kebayoran Baru, South Jakarta, Sunday, overflowed to the outside of the mosque.

Based on ANTARA's monitoring at the location, Eid al-Adha prayers start at around 07.10 WIB and finish at around 07.25 WIB.

Head of the Al-Azhar Tatang Komara Mosque Office explained that the Al-Azhar Mosque and its environment could accommodate 12,000 to 13,000 people.

"Mosques and halls as well as the environment can accommodate 12,000 to 13,000 people, God willing. Thursday prepare both facilities to get to the loudspeaker, God willing, it will be heard," said Tatang when met before the Eid prayer.

Tatang said that the implementation of Eid al-Adha prayers on June 16, 2024 was because the Al-Azhar Islamic Islamic Boarding School Foundation (YPI) referred to the implementation of wukuf in Arafah.

"As long as the policy of YPI Al-Azhar management for Eid al-Adha 1445 Hijri, we agree on information from Saudi Arabia regarding the wukuf in Arafah falls on June 15, 2024, of course the next day it will be Eid al-Adha. So, we set the Eid prayer this time is on June 16, 2024, Sunday," said Tatang.

In addition, said Tatang, the implementation of Eid al-Adha prayers today is also based on the agreement of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

"Of course, it is also based on the agreement of the OIC which has long agreed to take part in the wukuf in Arafah," he said.

Meanwhile, the slaughter of sacrificial animals will be carried out on Monday (17/6) in the back field of the Al-Azhar Mosque. The sacrificial meat is distributed to the community and YPI Al-Azhar employees.

"Alhamdulillah, the mosque has accommodated 13 cows and 25 goats," said Tatang.

The theme raised by the Al-Azhar Mosque on Eid al-Adha 1445 Hijriah, he continued, relates to Palestine.

"We relate it according to the breath of Eid al-Adha there are sacrifices. So, now we are more directed at how Muslims have empathy, empathy for others to sacrifice, of course, in terms of thought, material, of how our Palestinian brothers are independent," he said.
