JAKARTA - Minister of Religion (Menag) Nasaruddin Umar invites Muslims to make Eid al-Fitr as a momentum to strengthen empathy and social concern.

According to him, Ramadan is not only a ritual of refraining from eating and drinking, but also a means of character formation that is more caring and empathetic.

"Fasting is a process of sharpening social sensitivity. Behind the feeling of hunger and thirst, there is a strong message about empathy for others and concern for those who are lacking," said Minister of Religion Nasaruddin Umar in a written statement in Jakarta on Sunday, March 22, quoted from Antara.

He explained that the echoes of takbir that rang out marked the end of Ramadan, as well as a symbol of spiritual victory, namely the ability to maintain the values of Ramadan for the next eleven months.

"True victory is not merely a return to routine, but the success of keeping the flame of piety," said Minister of Religion Nasaruddin Umar.

He also reminded that Eid al-Fitr is a momentum to sow goodness and achieve blessings.

Blessing, said the Minister of Religion, only exists in the hearts of those who are open and those who actively spread benefits to the surrounding environment.

Therefore, he invited Muslims not to let the spirit of Ramadan end with the arrival of Eid al-Fitr.

He said the values of discipline, honesty, and concern that had been trained during Ramadan must continue to be maintained and used as a guide in daily life.
