Possible There are differences Iduladha Determination 1431 H

Liputan6.com, Jakarta: Ministry of Religious Affairs acknowledges the possible differences between the organization's day Iduladha celebrate mass or Islamic organizations this year. However, with the intensification of Islamic antarormas meeting, it is expected that the differences can be reconciled. As stated by Director General of the Islamic Society Guidance Nasaruddin Umar told journalists at the Ministry of Religious Affairs, Central Jakarta, Friday (22/10) evening.

It will hold a confirmation hearing (determination) Dhul-Hijjah 1431 Hijri beginning on November 6, 2010. The trial was made to ensure the Feast Iduladha 10 Dhul-Hijjah.

"On that day the new moon will be done all at once tightly rukyatul Rukyat Hisab Agency (BHR) Iduladha determination," said Nasaruddin. According to him, already four years Muslims in Indonesia always start fasting Ramadan and celebrate the feast day, Eid and Iduladha both simultaneously. Unless there is a small group of followers of congregations who celebrate on different dates. "For four years there is no double Lebaran," said Nasaruddin.

Only this year, he said, the new moon position in most Indonesia is still below the horizon and some others on the horizon, but below two degrees. This position is critical for the difference, particularly because the method of two major Islamic organizations in Indonesia, such as NU and Muhammadiyah in determining Iduladha not the same.

"NU guided rukyat as the primary method, while the reckoning as a confirmation. Instead of Muhammadiyah, the method of reckoning as the primary method and rukyatul moon as a confirmation," said Nasaruddin.

He said that according to the calendar reckoning Muhammadiyah organization has set an Dhul-Hijjah 1431H falls on Sunday, November 7, 2010. Thus, the Muhammadiyah decided 10 Dhul-Hijjah falls on Tuesday, November 16, 2010.

Meanwhile, according to NU, an initial determination must be made with rukyat month. Although to below two degrees, the moon will be difficult to see that there is potential for dissent. He said it is trying to bring Islamic organizations for the differences in the holiday did not develop more widely in society. "Lebaran is sunna, it must unite people," he said. (ANS / Ant)(yahoo.com)
