As the anticipation for Idul Fitri or Lebaran 2025 grows, Muslims around the world eagerly await the celebration of 1 Syawal 1446 H. After nearly a month of fasting, this day becomes one of the most awaited events of the year. The schedule for Idul Fitri 2025 is a hot topic among many, given the differing methodologies used to determine the date.
### Muhammadiyah’s Schedule for Idul Fitri 2025
According to the Central Leadership of Muhammadiyah, the celebration of Lebaran 2025 will fall on Monday, March 31, 2025. This decision is based on the method of hisab hakiki wujudul hilal, which has been a guiding principle for Muhammadiyah in determining the beginning of the hijri month. The ijtimak before Syawal 1446 H occurred on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 17:59:51 WIB. At that time, the Moon’s height when the Sun sets in Yogyakarta was -01° 59′ 04″, indicating that the hilal had not yet appeared. Muhammadiyah also confirmed that the age of the moon for Ramadan 1446 H was completed in 30 days. Therefore, Muhammadiyah followers can celebrate Idul Fitri on Monday, March 31, 2025, without waiting for the government’s decision through the isbat session.
### Government’s Schedule for Idul Fitri 2025
On the other hand, the government’s decision on the schedule for Lebaran 2025 is still pending the isbat session. The Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) plans to hold an isbat session for the beginning of Syawal 1446 H on Saturday, March 29, 2025. “We will hold the isbat session for the beginning of Syawal on March 29, 2025.”
The excitement surrounding the differing schedules for Idul Fitri 2025 highlights the diverse approaches taken by different organizations and the importance of unity in celebrating this joyous occasion. Whether following Muhammadiyah’s established method or awaiting the government’s official declaration, the spirit of togetherness and celebration remains at the heart of this festive season.
The upcoming Idul Fitri 2025 promises to be a time of joy, reflection, and communal celebration, regardless of the date chosen for the official observance. As families and friends come together to mark the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Syawal, the spirit of unity and love transcends any differences in methodology or scheduling. Let us embrace the diversity of approaches and come together in the true spirit of Idul Fitri, celebrating the bonds that unite us as a community.
