Kapanlagi.com - The holy month of Ramadan 2025 is approaching, and the excitement to welcome it is starting to be felt in the hearts of Muslims all over the world. Based on the latest information, the fasting of Ramadan this year is expected to begin on Saturday, March 1, 2025. This determination has been agreed upon by several leading Islamic organizations, including Muhammadiyah, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), and the Ministry of Religion (Kemenag) of the Republic of Indonesia.
To ensure that worship during Ramadan proceeds smoothly and is full of blessings, it is very important to prepare oneself from now on. There are various activities that can be done as support to welcome this holy month with high spirits.
So, how can we welcome Ramadan with the right preparations? When exactly does the fasting month start in 2025? And will all parties, including the government, NU, and Muhammadiyah, start fasting simultaneously? Let's take a look at the complete review summarized by Kapanlagi.com on Saturday (1/2).
According to information released by the Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, the holy month of Ramadan 1446 H is expected to begin on March 1, 2025. Counting down from today, which is Saturday, February 1, 2025, Muslims only have about 29 days left to welcome this blessed month. Muhammadiyah has determined the start of fasting on the same date, using the Global Unified Hijri Calendar (KHGT) as a reference.
Meanwhile, Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) will determine the start of Ramadan based on the rukyatul hilal method conducted in various locations across the country. However, all these determinations are still awaiting the results of the isbat meeting of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia on February 28, 2025, where if the hilal is sighted, fasting will begin the following day; conversely, if it is not sighted, the month of Shaban will be completed to 30 days.
As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, there are several important steps we can take to welcome it with full meaning. As quoted from NU Online, the primary preparation is to cleanse the heart and eliminate feelings of envy and resentment, because Ramadan is a special moment that comes only once a year.
Yahya bin Abi Katsir stated that when we are in a good state of soul, we will be able to welcome this holy month with joy and happiness.
Moreover, the prayer often recited by our predecessors before entering the month of Ramadan, "O Allah, bless us in the months of Rajab and Sha'ban, and grant us (the lifespan) to meet Ramadan," reflects the hope that Allah will prolong our lives to experience the greatness of these noble days with a pure heart and full of happiness.
The month of Ramadan is more than just refraining from hunger and thirst; it is the perfect time to deepen worship and draw closer to Allah SWT, in accordance with the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. In welcoming this holy month, it is important for us to prepare ourselves spiritually and understand the jurisprudence of fasting.
One way to do this is by increasing voluntary worship, such as regularly reading the Qur'an, enhancing night prayers, and more frequently engaging in dhikr. In addition, Muslims are encouraged to settle any missed fasts from the previous year to avoid bearing sin for not fulfilling that obligation.
"Understanding the jurisprudence of fasting is an obligation for every Muslim, at least regarding the matters that make our fasting valid or invalid," as stated by NU Online.
In order to make the most of the month of Ramadan, Muslims are advised to design a clear and detailed worship plan. This plan can include targets for reading the Qur'an, the number of voluntary prayer units they wish to perform, as well as the charity they intend to give throughout this holy month.
In addition, creating a daily schedule is also very important to maintain productivity, both in worship and daily activities. Set aside specific times for reciting the Qur'an, schedule night prayers, and arrange a balanced diet to stay energized while fasting.
In welcoming the blessed month of Ramadan, financial preparation is equally important, in addition to physical and spiritual preparation. Muslims are advised to carefully plan their financial budget to meet their needs during fasting, from buying food supplies to preparing zakat and charity for those in need. One important step is to set aside funds for zakat fitrah, which is an obligation for every capable Muslim. Moreover, if there is an opportunity, increasing charity to help the poor is also highly recommended, so that more people can experience the beauty and blessings of this holy month. With good financial management, Muslims can go through Ramadan with a peaceful heart, without the worry of unplanned expenses.
According to the calculations of the Hijri calendar, the community has begun to prepare to welcome the holy month of Ramadan 2025, which is expected to start on Saturday, March 1, 2025. However, all of this still awaits confirmation from the isbat meeting that the government will hold on February 28, 2025. So, let us look forward to it with hope and enthusiasm!
Muhammadiyah has announced that 1 Ramadan will fall on March 1, 2025, while Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and the government will determine the date through rukyatul hilal in the isbat meeting. This marks a difference in approach in determining the start of the holy month, which has always been a concern for Muslims in the homeland.
To welcome the holy month of Ramadan with enthusiasm, there are several preparations we can make. Starting from preparing our physical health to stay fit, strengthening our spirituality to bring our hearts closer to Him, to planning our finances wisely.
Implementing a healthy eating pattern, increasing water consumption, and getting used to fasting sunnah before Ramadan are smart steps that can help our bodies adapt better.
