Eid Fitr is coming, here are some things you must know!

Indonesian Eid al-Fitr is expected to be held on Wednesday, April 10, 2024. The entire country of Indonesia is immersed in a festive atmosphere. The Muslim community usually uses this public holiday to return home to celebrate Eid.

The festival, known as Lebaran, is important to Muslims as it marks the end of a month of fasting.

On the day before Eid al-Fitr, the whole of Indonesia will usher in a sleepless night. Both the president and ordinary people will gather in mosques to pray for Allah's mercy and express their piety and gratitude to God.

So next, we have compiled some tips and business insights about Eid al-Fitr. Friends, you must read it carefully.

1. Be careful of missing out! Plan your schedule in advance

As worshipers make their way to the mosque, we must also be aware that the mosque may become unusually crowded. Some supermarkets and shops may also be closed, so everyone must plan their schedule carefully before traveling.

2. Local consumption power is growing

According to Indonesian labor laws, companies must pay employees 13% salary every year. However, it is particularly important to note that the salary of Muslim employees will be paid 1-2 weeks before Eid al-Fitr. This means that customers' spending power will grow tremendously. Not only that, during Ramadan, people will spend more time at home and enjoy moments of family reunion.
