The meaning of Minal Aidin Wal Faizin – The greeting of minal aidin wal faizin is a
sentence uttered by many Muslims during Eid. Minal aidin wal faizin’s words
are also usually connected with the sentence “sorry to be born and inner”.
Therefore, it is very common for us to hear, “Happy Eid Al-Fitr, minal aidin wal
faizin , sorry to be born and inner heart.”
Even though most people think that the sentence minal aidin wal faizin means “sorry to be born and
inner”, but in fact this sentence is a fragment of a prayer. Minal Aidin Wal Faizin is
actually a fragment of the prayer ja’alanallahu minal Aidin Wal Faizin , which
means that may Allah make us among those who return and those who gain victory. Even so,
what is meant by this prayer is of course still returning to fitrah on Eid al-Fitr.
Meaning of Minal Aizin Wal Faizin
Even though it doesn’t mean ‘sorry physically and mentally’, there’s nothing wrong with the sentence Aidin Wal
Faizin being followed by a sentence of apology.
In addition, the world’s Muslim community usually also uses the sentence Taqabbalallahu Minna Wa Minkum Taqabbal
Ya Karim . This sentence is used to pray for fellow Muslims so that their fast is
accepted. This expression has also been around since the time of the companions of the
Prophet Muhammad. Lecturer at the Tarbiyah Faculty of IAIN Surakarta, Khasan Ubaidillah,
M.Pd.I revealed the true meaning of Minal Aidin Wal Faizin’s words .
At the time of the Prophet’s companions, it was indeed better to say a lot of words of prayer.
The greeting that is usually used is Taqabbalallahu Minna wa Minkum Taqabbal ya Karim.
Then the words are connected with wa ja’alanallahu wa iyyakum minal ‘aidin Wal faizin
.
In that prayer, we pray for the person mentioned or prayed for. May his good deeds be accepted
by Allah and the Most Karim. Then ja’alanallahu wa iyyakum minal aidin Wal
faizin , this is a prayer that all of us will be made people who are minal aidin or people who
return to goodness. Back to holiness, back to fitrah.
In addition, wal faizin means to be part of the lucky ones. So it can be concluded that
the words minal aidin wal faizin mean the hope that we will be part of the people
who return to good things.
So, actually if we take the meaning from minal aidin wal faizin this is a prayer so that we will return to
being better people, returning to holiness, returning to our nature, and hopefully we will become lucky
people in the future.
Because of that, this greeting is usually used with conjunctions that are often used, so it seems as if the
meaning is to apologize physically and mentally.

Eid custom
Every holiday has its own unique celebration traditions to follow. Likewise, what is happening
in Indonesia as a country with the largest Muslim population in the world. Indonesia has an
even more stunning tradition when Idul Fitri arrives.
Generally there are many traditions and unique things that are often done in various regions in Indonesia.
From praying to socializing, shopping to charity or alms. Here are some traditions
that are usually carried out in Indonesia during Eid.
1. Typical Eid Cakes
On Eid al-Fitr there are usually mutual gatherings, and of course the event of eating cakes.
Usually what is served is cake that is not made every day, alias is only specially cooked just
before Eid.
Eid cakes have many types. There are pastries such as kastengel, nastar, sago cheese, and
cat’s tongue cakes, as well as wet cakes, and so on. At least every home must provide these
pastries. Not only that, each house provides their own family’s favorite cakes.
There are families who serve kolang Kaling, rengginang, or contemporary cakes and pastries.
Actually, any type of cake is indeed worth serving to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, according to the
tastes of each family.
The tradition of visiting homes for halalbihalal is also an opportunity to taste typical Eid cakes at each house
visited.
Even though this Eid still feels different due to the pandemic, the moment of togetherness on Hari Raya
doesn’t mean it’s gone even at home. You can still celebrate it virtually via video
call with your extended family. To add to the excitement of Eid Al-Fitr,
Sinaumed’s can make their own Eid cakes at home. Sinaumed’s can also invite
all the family at home to make it together.
If Sinaumed’s really enjoys making cakes, then he can look for references to food and cake recipes in books
available at www.sinaumedia.com . As #FriendsWithoutLimits we
always try to give the best!
2. THR
THR or pocket money has become a tradition to be distributed to small children. It is also the
most awaited. In addition, companies will also issue THR for their employees. This
has also become a government decision.
3. Homecoming
The first day that appears when the word Eid is mentioned is going home. Homecoming seems to
have become a mandatory agenda for the Indonesian people. Especially for Muslim people who live
far outside their hometown. Mudik is carried out with the aim of being able to gather and
celebrate Eid al-Fitr with family.
4. Takbiran
The tradition of reciting takbir on the night before Idul Fitri, aka takbiran, is usually carried out in
mosques or prayer rooms. A procession around the village with a drum. This
tradition is carried out by both adults and children.
This is done to enliven the Eid celebration. Even in the Banyuwangi area, during Eid,
residents distribute cooked eggs by forming eggs that resemble mountains and then parading them around the
village to be distributed to all residents.
5. Beating the drums
Along with the echo of takbir, generally people will also beat the drum as an expression of their
happiness. The beat of the drum is performed in rhythm so that it makes the atmosphere of the
Eid night even more lively and touching.
6. Paying Zakat and Giving Charity
The best way to end the holy month of Ramadan is to share blessings with those less fortunate.
Muslims know the concept of obligatory zakat or tax that is paid during Eid al-Fitr which will be
distributed to the poor in their environment. Sinaumed’s can pay for this through a local or
neighborhood organization or independently and directly contribute to a cause of your choice.
Generally Indonesians receive large bonuses from their employers during the Eid al-Fitr celebrations and
some distribute some of the money to those in need. As a result it will be easier to find
charities or organizations to help out during this period.
7. Congregational Eid prayers
and prayers at the mosque
Hundreds to thousands of people will gather at the mosque for Eid prayers, then celebrate the special
occasion with family and friends. In the mosque as a place of worship, Muslims will carry out
Eid prayers in congregation. The echoes of the takbir simultaneously make the atmosphere more
lively, carrying out prayers together led by an imam and followed by lectures.
8. Gathering
Silaturahmi means maintaining relations with one another, a concept shared by many Indonesians, especially
Muslims. During Eid, friends and relatives visit each other’s homes and chat.
During Eid al-Fitr, don’t hesitate to visit neighbors you don’t know or family members you haven’t
seen for a long time. They will definitely appreciate guests. Sinaumed’s
just might have more fun than expected.
9. Send Food to Each Other
Sending food to neighbors and relatives who are some distance away is also a tradition passed down from our
ancestors. This tradition also has a purpose as a form of charity. There’s nothing
wrong for us to do, Sinaumed’s ?
10. Shop for New Clothes
Wearing new clothes for Eid has been a fun and well-kept tradition in Indonesia for generations.
The result is that big sales will usually happen everywhere, from boutiques to department
stores .
On the other hand, the prices of groceries, food and other daily necessities tend to increase in the days
leading up to Eid. So grocery stores may be very crowded, especially a week before Eid.
11. Halalbihalal
Halalbihalal is a term for visiting friends, neighbors and relatives to apologize to each other.
This tradition even keeps up with the times by doing halalbihalal through online media and using
gadgets . Now many of us forgive each other through
cellphones , social media, and the like.
12. Eat Ketupat
This sumptuous-looking rice is ubiquitous at Eid celebrations, packaged in woven palm leaves in a dashing
diamond shape. Ketupat can be eaten with countless choices of traditional food, from opor ayam
to the famous rendang. It’s better to enjoy all these foods with loved ones, right,
Sinaumed’s .
In Java, ketupat symbolizes togetherness and giving dumplings to loved ones means apologizing as well as an
invitation to coexist harmoniously in the coming year.
13. Grave Pilgrimage
After the Eid al-Fitr prayer, residents usually flock to the graves of their ancestors and parents to pray for
their spirits.
14. Traditional Rituals
Although only known as the world’s largest Muslim population, the case is not that simple.
People practice their religion in various ways and in Indonesia religious practices are often
intertwined with culture and tradition.
Yogyakarta, for example, has the Syawal grebeg tradition, which involves local residents fighting over
piles of produce given to them by the Sultan of Lombok. On the other hand, there is also a way
to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with a diamond war which symbolizes harmony between neighbors despite differences.
And there are many other traditions that are carried out in each region in Indonesia.
Those are some of the Eid traditions in Indonesia. Different regions will of course also have
different traditions and cultures, but with these customs and traditions the differences will be more
beautiful and actually create cohesiveness with one another.
15. Recreation
Spending the Eid holiday usually visits each other’s homes and at the same time travels to tourist
attractions. This tradition makes tourist spots full of people who want to spend Eid with their
families.
16. Firecrackers
Despite the warnings and the existence of raids from the authorities, it seems that firecrackers still
appear here and there. This tradition is hard to get rid of because it has taken root.
Every Lebaran comes, there must be a lot of people selling fireworks and firecrackers.
For Sinaumed’s who have babies as well as children, please be extra careful so that
they are not shocked and injured by firecrackers. Firecrackers must also be watched out for
because they can cause fires.
Eid is always a long-awaited month for Muslims. At this moment we will find atmosphere,
tradition, and multiple rewards that are not found on other days.
