JAKARTA, KOMPAS - President Prabowo Subianto extended Eid al-Fitr 1446 Hijri greetings to all Muslims in Indonesia and around the world. The greetings were conveyed through a video broadcast on the Presidential Secretariat's YouTube channel on Sunday evening, March 30, 2025.

"I, Prabowo Subianto, President of the Republic of Indonesia, on behalf of the government of the Republic of Indonesia and on my own behalf, extend my greetings for Eid al-Fitr 1 Syawal 1446 Hijri to all Muslims in the homeland and around the world," said President Prabowo.

On that occasion, the Head of State emphasized the meaning of Eid al-Fitr as a moment of victory after undergoing a full month of Ramadan fasting. The President also interpreted this year's Eid al-Fitr as an opportunity for Muslims to strengthen ties and reinforce values of virtue.

"After a full month of observing the Ramadan fast, the time has come for us to celebrate victory. Eid al-Fitr is a sacred moment to forgive one another, strengthen bonds of friendship, and reaffirm our commitment as individuals to become better, more patient, and more caring toward others," said the President.

We also invite former Presidents and Vice Presidents, national figures, including political party chairmen.

In this regard, Prabowo also called on all Indonesians to make Eid al-Fitr a source of strength in strengthening unity and social solidarity. The values inherent in the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, according to the President, must serve as a foundation for building a more just and prosperous nation.

"I invite all Indonesian people, wherever they may be, to make this Eid al-Fitr a moment to strengthen national unity, enhance social solidarity, and build a future for Indonesia that is more just, more prosperous, and civilized for the welfare of all Indonesian citizens," said the President.

Prayers and hopes were expressed so that the Eid al-Fitr celebration could bring blessings to all the people of Indonesia. "Minal aidin wal faizin, please forgive me for any physical and emotional wrongdoings," said President Prabowo.

Previously, the Deputy for Protocol, Press, and Media of the Presidential Secretariat, Yusuf Permana, stated that President Prabowo is scheduled to perform the Eid al-Fitr prayer for 1 Shawwal 1446 Hijri at the Istiqlal Mosque, Jakarta, on Monday.

After performing the Eid prayer, President Prabowo is planned to head to the Merdeka Palace to hold a griya title event. This event is a forum for friendship between President Prabowo and state officials, ambassadors of friendly countries, national figures, and the general public.

"We also invited former Presidents and Vice Presidents, national figures, including political party chairmen," said Yusuf.

Yusuf said, the event of the griya title which will start at 09.00 WIB until finished is also a social symbol to eliminate barriers and build family and togetherness on the day of victory which is fitri.
