1. Obligation of Ramadan Fasting

Ramadan fasting is one of the pillars of Islam that must be performed by every Muslim who meets the requirements. This obligation is not just about refraining from eating and drinking, but also about training patience and enhancing piety.

The Quran, Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 183 clearly explains that fasting is a direct command from Allah SWT to form a pious individual. The Prophet Muhammad SAW also emphasized the importance of this worship as one of the main pillars of the Islamic religion.

2. Intention Reading for Ramadan Fasting

The intention is a very important pillar of fasting, because without intention, a person's fast will not be valid in the sight of Allah SWT. The intention for Ramadan fasting must be made at night before dawn as a form of sincerity of heart.
Hadith emphasizes the urgency of intention, so Muslims are encouraged to recite the intention every night during Ramadan. Here is the recitation of the intention for Ramadan fasting according to NU Online:

Arabic: ������ت� ص����� غ�د� ع��� أ�د�اء� ��ر�ض� ش���ر� ر���ض�ا�� ��ذ��� ا�س����ة� ������� ت�ع�ا���

Latin: Nawaitu shauma ghadin 'an adaa'i fardhi syahri Ramadhaana haadzihis sanati lillaahi Ta'aalaa.

Translation: I intend to fast tomorrow to fulfill the obligation in this month of Ramadan for this year because of Allah Ta'ala.

3. Official Determination of the Beginning of Ramadan 2026

The government, through the Ministry of Religious Affairs, has determined the beginning of Ramadan 2026 after the Isbat Meeting involving scholars, Islamic organizations, and astronomy experts. This meeting is usually held in the evening before the 29th of Sha'ban, considering the results of the moon sighting.

Based on the Indonesian Hijri Calendar published by the Ministry of Religious Affairs, 1 Ramadan 1447 H is estimated to fall on Thursday, February 19, 2026. The Isbat Meeting for Ramadan 2026 is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, February 17, 2026, starting at 16:00 WIB.

4. Muhammadiyah Sets Fasting Schedule 2026

The Central Leadership of Muhammadiyah has determined that 1 Ramadan 1447 Hijri falls on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, based on the method of true astronomical calculations of the moon's visibility. This determination is made well in advance because Muhammadiyah uses accurate astronomical calculations.

This calculation method allows Muhammadiyah not to rely on direct moon sighting, providing certainty in the schedule earlier. So, KLovers who follow Muhammadiyah can already mark their calendars.

5. Rukyatul Hilal Becomes the Determinant in NU

Unlike Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) tends to wait for the results of the rukyatul hilal conducted by astronomical teams in various regions. This approach aligns with the traditions and teachings that are firmly upheld, where the sighting of the hilal becomes the main determinant.

NU will wait for the observation results of the new moon to determine the beginning of Ramadan 2026, honoring the traditional method taught by the Prophet Muhammad SAW. The estimated beginning of Ramadan from NU could fall on February 18 or 19, 2026, depending on the results of the rukyatul hilal.

6. Idul Fitri 2026

After a full month of fasting, Muslims will celebrate Idul Fitri as a sign of victory and return to their fitrah. The estimated date for Idul Fitri 2026 is also important information for preparing the celebration with family.

Based on the calculations of the Hijri calendar in Indonesia, 1 Syawal 1447 Hijri is estimated to fall on Saturday, March 21, 2026. The Central Leadership of Muhammadiyah has also set Friday, March 20, 2026, for Idul Fitri 2026.

7. Eid Holiday 2026

The Eid holiday and collective leave are highly anticipated moments for gathering with family and relatives. The government has issued a Joint Decision Letter (SKB) from three ministers, consisting of the Minister of Religious Affairs, the Minister of Manpower, and the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform to regulate this holiday schedule.

If Eid al-Fitr 2026 falls on March 20 or 21, then the estimated national holiday for Eid al-Fitr will fall on March 21 and 22, 2026. This presents a golden opportunity for KLovers to plan their homecoming trips.

8. Collective Leave 2026

In addition to national holidays, the government usually adds collective leave to provide a longer time for the public. This collective leave is often placed before or after the Eid al-Fitr day.

The collective leave for Eid 2026 is estimated to be added on March 20, 23, and 24, 2026, so the total holiday could reach about one week. Careful planning will help avoid congestion and ensure a smooth journey.
