The government determined that Ramadan 1447 H begins on Thursday, 19 February 2026, following an isbat session in Jakarta led by the Ministry of Religious Affairs attended by MUI, BMKG, BRIN, Parliament, Islamic organizations, and pesantrens. This decision differs from PP Muhammadiyah’s earlier determination of 18 February 2026 based on pure hisab calculations. Such discrepancies arise from different methodologies, although both rely on astronomical calculations. Pekanbaru will soon welcome Ramadan according to the government’s decision with local traditions like congregational tarawih prayers at the Grand An-Nur Mosque and Riau’s traditional culinary bazaars throughout the fasting month. This moment is fascinating because you can experience the diverse Ramadan traditions in Pekanbaru, rich in culture.
