00:00Ramadan is a sacred month for our Muslim brothers and sisters for prayer and devotion.

00:06And on Monday, we celebrate the end of a month of Ramadan

00:10where our Muslim brothers and sisters also do different activities.

00:14We will talk about that with Imam Benhar Asti Sawadi of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos.

00:21Assalamualaikum, Sir.

00:22Walaikum Assalam. Good afternoon.

00:25I seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

00:29All praise is due to Allah. Peace and blessings be upon His Messenger and upon his family.

00:34Assalamualaikum, brothers and sisters in Islam.

00:40Good afternoon to all.

00:42On behalf of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos,

00:46under the leadership of our honorable Secretary, Sabuddin Abdur Rahim,

00:52we will now discuss the topic of Eid al-Fitr.

00:58We would like to thank you for inviting us here.

01:03We are excited to talk about one of the most important days for Muslims.

01:10Sir, how do our Muslim brothers and sisters celebrate the end of a month-long Ramadan or Eid al-Fitr?

01:17First, for everyone's information, there are two festivals or Eid al-Fitr for Muslims.

01:26The first is Eid al-Fitr, which is the end of the month of Ramadan.

01:30And the second is Eid al-Adha, the festival of sacrifice.

01:34It is held whenever Muslims go to Makkah for pilgrimage.

01:40Now, the Eid al-Fitr, as the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, said,

01:48If you see the crescent of the moon, on the first day of Ramadan, you should fast.

02:06And if you see the crescent of the moon on the next day of Ramadan, which is Shawwal,

02:12on the Hijri calendar, you should break your fast.

02:14So now, it is the 27th day of fasting.

02:19And on Sunday, it is the 29th day of Ramadan.

02:23Our moon sighting will be held on Sunday afternoon.

02:26Earlier, you mentioned that Eid al-Fitr will be held on Monday.

02:31Now, if you see the crescent of the moon on Sunday afternoon, which is Shawwal,

02:40on Monday, Eid al-Fitr will be held.

02:44But if you don't see it on Sunday, as the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said,

02:50if you don't see the crescent of the moon because it is dark,

02:53you should fast for 30 days, which is on Tuesday, Eid al-Fitr will be held.

02:57So, how do we celebrate this?

03:00Physically, we pray together, we visit each other, we give charity,

03:08and spiritually, we do good deeds.

03:16Has the commission prepared any activities in relation to that?

03:22For the first time in history, under the leadership of our good Secretary,

03:27our Secretary will lead the prayer of Eid al-Fitr,

03:35this Eid al-Fitr 2025, in Nagaganapin, Saloneta.

03:40So, we should expect a big celebration.

03:44Yes.

03:45Sir, what are the things that are prohibited to our Muslim brothers during Ramadan?

03:50There are two things that are prohibited.

03:54First, it is halal, it is allowed, but it is prohibited during Ramadan,

03:59which is like eating, drinking, or visiting your wife during fasting, in the morning.

04:04The second prohibition is that it is also prohibited outside of Ramadan.

04:09It includes doing bad things, lying, cheating, or doing anything bad.

04:16So, during Ramadan, we burn this, not just the burning calories.

04:27That is why it is said that fasting is not just burning calories,

04:32fasting is burning ego, pride, and sins.

04:36So, these are the things that are prohibited to us during Ramadan.

04:41Is there anything exempted in fasting, sir?

04:44Exempted?

04:45Exempted?

04:46There are exempted, like what was mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

04:52for example, pregnant women who are afraid that something will happen to their baby,

04:57or those who are breastfeeding,

04:59including the elderly who can no longer fast,

05:03and including those who have diseases that they cannot fast.

05:12What about the children? How many years are they required?

05:16Yes, for the children, if they have not reached the right age,

05:21they are not required, nor is it obligatory for them.

05:24If they want to try, it can be done as a practice.

05:27But usually, how many years is that?

05:30For the women, when she is already pregnant,

05:36and for the men, within 15 years old.

05:43Sir, what is our collaboration with Indonesia in this regard?

05:48So, what is the objective of this? Is it a joint celebration?

05:52In our collaboration with Indonesia,

06:00first of all, we want to expand the collaboration or relationship,

06:16not only in Indonesia, but also in other Muslim countries,

06:20especially in education, specifically in Islamic education.

06:27So, it is not only related to AIDS, but it is a broader issue?

06:33Yes, it is a broader issue.

06:36Sir, lastly, what is your message to our Muslim brothers and sisters in Bukit Tir?

06:40Now, to my Muslim brothers and sisters, let us remember the purpose of Ramadan.

06:48It is not only about enduring hunger and thirst.

06:53It is also about removing the bad deeds.

06:58This is what we were commanded to do, why we were given Ramadan,

07:01and why Allah Almighty accepted our sacrifices in this month.

07:10So, Alhamdulillah, thank you very much for inviting us here.

07:16Thank you, Imam Minhar Asti Sawadi of the National Commission of Muslim Filipinos.

07:21Thank you, sir.
