National Moon Sighting & MABIMS Criteria

How the Islamic Calendar Operates in Indonesia

As the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation, Indonesia operates a state-guided moon sighting system led by the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag). Official declarations are determined through the **Sidang Isbat**, harmonizing Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), Muhammadiyah, and the regional MABIMS standard.

At a Glance: The Indonesia Calendar in 3 Key Points

The National Sidang Isbat: A formal council convened on the 29th of lunar months combining astronomers, Islamic scholars, and government officials.
Updated MABIMS Criteria: Indonesia adheres to the 3-6.4 criteria (minimum crescent altitude of 3 degrees and elongation of 6.4 degrees).
Nationwide Uniformity Across 3 Time Zones: Once announced in Jakarta, the Hijri date applies uniformly across all 38 provinces from Aceh to Papua.

The Sidang Isbat Sighting Summit

Broadcast live nationally, the Sidang Isbat convenes at the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Jakarta. Over 120 observation posts across the Indonesian archipelago report sighting testimonies verified by regional religious courts.

Harmonizing Hisab and Rukyah

Indonesia historically balanced Muhammadiyah's astronomical calculation (Hisab Hakiki Wujudul Hilal) with NU's physical observation (Rukyatul Hilal). The updated MABIMS standard has united both traditions around sound astronomical science.

Archipelago Time Zone Standardization

Indonesia spans three time zones (WIB, WITA, WIT). The national Islamic calendar date is referenced to Western Indonesia Time (WIB / Asia/Jakarta, UTC+7), with the civil calendar flipping at 12:00 AM midnight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions regarding the Islamic calendar, time zones, and moon sightings in Indonesia.

What is the Islamic date today in Indonesia?

Today's Islamic date is calculated under the official Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag) standard in the Asia/Jakarta (WIB) time zone.

What is the Sidang Isbat in Indonesia?

The Sidang Isbat is the official national summit convened by Kemenag with Islamic scholars and astronomers to verify moon sightings and declare Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, and Eid al-Adha.

Why do NU and Muhammadiyah sometimes have different dates?

Muhammadiyah primarily uses astronomical calculation (Hisab), while Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and the government require physical crescent sighting (Rukyatul Hilal). Recent MABIMS criteria updates have significantly harmonized both approaches.

Does the Islamic date apply equally across Sumatra, Java, and Bali?

Yes. Once Kemenag issues the national declaration, the same Hijri date applies uniformly across all 38 Indonesian provinces.

What time zone is used for this page?

Western Indonesia Time (WIB / Asia/Jakarta, UTC+7).

When does the date change in Indonesia?

Religiously at Maghrib sunset, and civilly at 12:00 AM midnight WIB.
