TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Minister of Religious Affairs Fachrul Razi boosted public morale entering this year’s Ramadan as Muslims are expected to spend the holy month under the condition of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 

“That must not reduce our spirit and determination to use the holy month of Ramadan to improve our religious observance,” said Fachrul in a teleconference following the Isbat (confirmation) meeting on Thursday, April 23. 

The direct effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will potentially ban a number of religious activities for the sake of safety. Some of the annual traditions during the holy month include the mass gathering in breaking the fast, tarawih prayers, and reciting the Quran routines. 

The Religious Affairs Minister also called for people to avert from conducting Ziyarat or pious visits, which could potentially worsen the coronavirus chain of transmission as people would gather in large groups during such tradition. 

Fachrul Razi also cited President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s previous announcement regarding the ban on the annual mudik tradition. “We are also recommended by the government to not travel in large exodus or mudik,” said Fachrul.
