Holiday Ayo - The new year 2026 is just days away. This is a good time to start preparing your New Year's plans, especially for Muslims.

For Muslims, knowing the schedule of Islamic holidays well in advance is crucial. Many need certain dates to plan their religious observances, arrange leave from work, prepare for their homecoming, and even organize religious activities within their families and communities.

In this regard, on October 14, 2025, the Ministry of Religious Affairs (Kemenag), through the Directorate General of Islamic Community Guidance (Bimas Islam), released the 2026 Indonesian Hijri calendar.

According to the official website of the Ministry of Religious Affairs for Aceh Province, the 2026 Indonesian Hijri calendar includes information from January to December 2026.

It also includes the calendar from Rajab 1447 Hijri to Jumadil Akhir 1448 Hijri.

Islamic Holiday Schedule and Collective Leave

Based on the 2026 Indonesian Hijri Calendar released by the Ministry of Religious Affairs' Islamic Community Guidance, there are six national holidays and five days of collective leave to commemorate Islamic holidays in 2026, as follows:

Friday, January 16, 2026: Isra' Mi'raj of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Saturday-Sunday, March 21-22, 2026: Eid al-Fitr 1447 H

Friday, Monday, and Tuesday, March 20, 23, and 24, 2026: Collective leave for Eid al-Fitr 1447 H

Wednesday, May 27, 2026: Eid al-Adha 1447 H

Tuesday, August 25, 2026: The Birthday of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The joint leave dates in the Hijri Calendar released by the Islamic Community Guidance of the Ministry of Religious Affairs on October 14, 2025, differ slightly from those previously stipulated in the Joint Decree (SKB) of the Three Ministers signed on September 19, 2025.

According to the Islamic Community Guidance of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the joint leave for Eid al-Adha 1447 AH will last two days, on May 28 and 29, 2026.

The Joint Decree of the Three Ministers only covers one day, on May 28, 2026.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the dates for Eid al-Fitr 1447 AH and Eid al-Adha 1447 AH listed in the calendar above are only estimates, based on the hisab method.

The official date for Eid al-Fitr 1447 H and Eid al-Adha 1447 H will be determined after the isbat session is held by the Ministry of Religion.
