JAKARTA Muhammadiyah Central Leadership (PP) has officially determined the beginning of 1 Ramadan 1446 Hijri falls on Saturday, March 1, 2025. This determination was announced through the Decree of PP Muhammadiyah, based on the results of a study by the Tarjih Council and Tajdid.

In an official statement uploaded on social media, Muhammadiyah said that the decision was based on the Hijri Calendar Global Tunggal (KHGT). This method is a new step after previously Muhammadiyah used the hisab hakiki method in the form of hilal to determine the beginning of Ramadan, Syawal, and Dzulhijjah.

The determination of the beginning of Ramadan was carried out based on ijtimak at the end of the month of Syakban 1446 H, which occurred on Friday, February 28, 2025. Thus, Muslims who follow Muhammadiyah's decision will start fasting on Saturday, March 1, 2025.

"1 Ramadan 1446 Hijri falls on Saturday Pahing, March 1, 2025," read a statement in the KHGT announced on Tuesday.

In addition to setting the beginning of Ramadan, Muhammadiyah also announced the schedule for Eid al-Fitr and the Hajj season for 1446 Hijri as follows:

- Eid al-Fitr 1446 H: Sunday, March 30, 2025. - 1 Dzulhijjah 1446 H: Wednesday Kliwon, May 28, 2025. - Arafah Day (9 Dzulhijjah): Thursday Pon, June 5, 2025. - Eid al-Adha (10 Dzulhijjah): Friday Wage, 6 June 2025.

This decision provides clear guidance for Muslims in fasting, celebrating holidays, and preparing the Hajj season in a more planned manner. With this calendar, Muhammadiyah hopes that the people can carry out worship solemnly and in coordination.
