He made this statement after performing communal Eid prayers at\nthe Sabilal Muhtadin Grand Mosque in Banjarmasin on Saturday\n(21\/3\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Muhidin assessed that differences in methods for determining the\nstart of Shawwal, whether through hilal sighting or other methods, are\ncommonplace in Indonesia and internationally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDifferences are normal. The important thing is that the public\nbelieves in their chosen guidance, whether from organisations,\ngovernment, or personal convictions. There is no need to debate it,\u201d\nsaid Muhidin, accompanied by Deputy Governor Hasnuryadi Sulaiman and\nSouth Kalimantan Provincial Secretary Muhammad Syarifuddin.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Eid prayer at the Sabilal Muhtadin Grand Mosque was\nobserved with great solemnity. Muhidin noted an extraordinary increase\nin public enthusiasm, with worshippers filling the entire mosque area\nand courtyard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is extraordinary; the public attendance is very high, nearly\nfilling all spaces. We appreciate this year\u2019s devotional worship,\nsupported by the imam\u2019s excellent recitation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>For Muhidin, Eid al-Fitr should serve as a momentum for Muslims to\nreflect after completing a month of fasting. He hopes the spirit of\nworship cultivated during Ramadan can be continuously enhanced in daily\nlife.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis reminds us that we still have shortcomings and sins. May we\ncontinue to improve our worship and end our lives in a good state\n(husnul khatimah),\u201d stated Muhidin.<\/p>\n<p>In agreement, the Head of the South Kalimantan Ministry of Religious\nAffairs Office, Muhammad Tambrin, also invited worshippers to make Eid\nal-Fitr a means to strengthen ties of brotherhood and mutual\nforgiveness, without exacerbating existing differences in society.<\/p>\n<p>The South Kalimantan Provincial Government ensures that the security\nand order situation during the 2026 Lebaran celebrations in the Land of\nLambung Mangkurat is running conducive, safe, and smooth.<\/p>",
