EID AL-FITR WITHOUT CELEBRATION
Lebaran Day is always filled with
certain traditions. The first time that is done at the time of Eid al-Fitr
arrives, all Muslims will carry out Eid prayer. Where after the dawn prayers,
they will get back and rush to the mosque near the house to perform Eid Al-Fitr
Prayer.
Not only that, after the prayers,
usually we will meet with the members of the family and close relatives in the
mosque which then proceed with a brief chat, bersilatuhrami, and of course
forgiving. Of course in the month of Ramadan we call it a very holy month.
The month is full of blessings,
because all people who are Muslim carry out the same traditions of fasting and Eid.
Where everyone to do have a gathering, deep talk each other, forgive each other, stay in
love. This moment is the most awaited by all Muslims.
But this year's Eid al-Fitr,
certainly felt so diffrent.
We carry out the month of Ramadan in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. This COVID-19
pandemic require that we temporarily refrain from held a meetings until
gatherings. Besides the prohibition of held
associations, of course we are also recomended not to do Eid Al-Fitr Prayers at
the Mosque.
The appeal was made of course to break the
chain of the spread of COVID-19. The spread is so fast transmitted to others
into government concern that the number of corona virus positive patients will
increase.
There was no Eid prayer in
congregation at the mosque near the house. All are encouraged to carry out Eid
Al-Fitr prayers at home together with families with certain rules, namely at
least 4 people in order to carry out Eid Al-Fitr prayers.
In addition the government also appealed for a
while not to make physical contact with others, such as giving hugs and shaking
hands. Apart from that, don't visit distant relatives. It was made so that we
do not bring viruses to other people's homes. Because we could be the carriers
of the virus.
The difference in the celebration of
Eid al-Fitr this year is different from the previous year. People are asked not
to go home or go back to their hometown Pros and cons also occur when the
appeal is there. The government prohibits the public from going home because in
order to reduce the risk of corona virus transmission.
Although we cannot visit relatives,
surely in this digital age we already have very sophisticated technology. Of
course everyone has a smartphone. With that we can do a fellowship using
virtual and with applications such as zoom and whatsapp.
Of course this does not reduce the holiness on
the day of Eid. We can still touch each other and forgive each other through
online. Of course we can also visit grandma's house but still have to use the
Health protocol, such as using a mask, washing hands, not touching after
directly from the outside.
“Like you know in this
middle of Idul Fitr, we fighting about the pandemic of COVID-19. But I think it
doesn’t a fact of how we gratitude of Allah SWT. In Idul fitr after Ramadhan
pass"said
Andi Muhamad. It can be seen that the existence of the
COVID-19 pandemic is not an obstacle for Muslims to worship in this holy month.
The
implementation of Eid al-Fitr prayer is also responded differently in each
person. There are those who perform Eid Al-Fitr prayers at home, but do not
rule out there are those who continue to perform Eid Al-Fitr prayers at the
mosque. "I chose to prayer at
mosque. Because this prayer twice in the year
"said Wildan Azmi
Appeals for the implementation of Eid
prayers are certainly interpreted differently in each person, of course this
can not be prohibited. When choosing to pray in the mosque, we must still use of protocols for the sake of our comfort and health.
With this COVID-19 pandemic, surely we must
make us more to worship and draw closer to Allah SWT. Do not forget to always
be grateful for all the pleasures that have been given by Allah SWT.
After Eid al-Fitr, the government
again announced the situation of New Normal. Where shopping centers will slowly
open, other than that sports facilities will also begin to be activated, Office
buildings have begun to reduce WFH. Of course this is a very future by the
community.
But keep in mind when the new normal
conditions come into force, of course Health protocol regulations must also be
implemented such as wearing a mask, always carrying a handsanitizer, and of
course keeping a distance from others.
New normal conditions like this are
expected to make people to always maintain cleanliness and get used to clean
living. This will certainly break the chain of corona virus spread.
