        "summary": "Indonesia's approach to determining the date of Eid al-Fitr 1447 AH (2026) remains divided between two methodologies: Muhammadiyah's Hisab Hakiki Wujudul Hilal, which relies purely on astronomical calculations, and the government's Imkanur Rukyat method combined with Sidang Isbat proceedings, which incorporates the new MABIMS criteria. The government will make a final determination through the Sidang Isbat, drawing data from hundreds of hilal observation points across Indonesia, with Eid al-Fitr 2026 predicted to fall on 20 or 21 March.",
        "content": "<p>The divergence in determining the beginning of Islamic months,\nparticularly Eid al-Fitr 1447 AH, has returned to public attention. This\ndifference stems from two distinct methodologies employed by religious\norganisations and the government in Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>Muhammadiyah employs the Hisab Hakiki Wujudul Hilal method, which\nrelies purely on astronomical calculations to determine the position of\nthe moon without requiring direct visual observation (rukyat).<\/p>\n<p>The Indonesian government, through the Ministry of Religious Affairs,\nutilises the Imkanur Rukyat method combined with the results of the\nSidang Isbat proceedings. This approach adheres to the new MABIMS\n(Ministers of Religious Affairs of Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia,\nMalaysia, and Singapore) criteria.<\/p>\n<p>The government will make its final determination through the Sidang\nIsbat, which brings together data from hundreds of hilal observation\npoints across all regions of Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke.<\/p>\n<p>Such differences are customary in religious jurisprudence. The\npriority remains maintaining a spirit of tolerance and unity in\ncelebrating this significant Islamic occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Eid al-Fitr 2026 is predicted to fall on 20 or 21 March, contingent\nupon the results of the Sidang Isbat and the meteorological data\nanalysed by Indonesia\u2019s Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and\nGeophysics (BMKG).<\/p>",
