        "content": "<p>Following the celebrations of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, Muslims\nare preparing to welcome the Islamic New Year 1448 H\/2026. The moment is\nnot merely a change of date in the Hijri calendar, but a new chapter for\nreflecting on the past year\u2019s spiritual journey while strengthening\nfaith and devotion to Allah SWT. Ahead of the new year, many people are\nseeking information on the exact timing, as the Hijri calendar uses a\ndifferent system from the Gregorian calendar. The government sets 1\nMuharram 1448 H through an isbat session based on the sighting of the\nnew moon at the end of Dzulhijjah 1447 H, which falls on Monday, 15 June\n2026. According to the Hijri calendar published by the Ministry of\nReligious Affairs, the Islamic New Year marking 1 Muharram 1448 H is\nexpected to fall on Tuesday, 16 June 2026. The public is advised to\nmonitor official information from the Ministry of Religious Affairs\nregarding the final determination. Based on the Joint Ministerial Decree\non National Holidays and Collective Leave for 2026, the Islamic New Year\n1448 H has been designated as a national holiday. The public can use\nthis moment to increase worship, engage in self-reflection, gather with\nfamily and relatives, or take a short break from daily routines.\nHowever, unlike some other major religious observances, the 2026 Islamic\nNew Year commemoration does not include additional collective leave days\nto extend the official holiday period. The Hijri calendar has a long\nhistory dating back to the era of Caliph Umar bin Khattab (634-644 AD),\nwhen the Muslim community needed a clear dating system for\nadministrative affairs and correspondence. Umar gathered his companions\nfor deliberation, and they agreed to base the Islamic calendar on the\nevent of the Prophet Muhammad\u2019s migration from Mecca to Medina. The\ncompanions also chose Muharram as the first month of the Hijri calendar\nbecause it is one of the sacred months in Islam. Since then, the Hijri\ncalendar has been officially used and marks the commemoration of the\nIslamic New Year by Muslims to this day.<\/p>",
