Forming Harmony, Papuan People Distribute Newspapers for Eid Al-Fitr Prayers in Sentani

Sentani – Jayapura Indigenous Community Leader Yanto Eluay stated that the celebration of Idul Fitri 1445 Hijriah or Eid 2024 is a momentum to strengthen ties between all religious communities in Jayapura Regency.

“How can fellow nationals in Jayapura Regency shake hands during Eid and abandon all interests in establishing better harmonious relations,” he said in Sentani, Thursday, as reported by Antaranews.com.

According to him, there was an extraordinary scene when the Eid al-Fitr 1445 Hijri prayer was about to be held, several indigenous Papuan communities (OAP) distributed old newspapers as a basis for Muslims to carry out the prayer.

“Currently it is the rainy season in Jayapura, so if we don’t use old newspapers as a base, we can be sure that Muslims who pray in the mosque yard will definitely have their prayer mats wet and their prayers will not be as solemn,” he said.

He explained that with used newspapers, Muslims do not need to put their prayer mats in wet places, because they are already covered with newspaper.

“Perhaps the giving of newsprint is a sign that indigenous Papuans really love differences based on the values ​​of tolerance to maintain harmonious religious relations,” he said.

Chairman of the Takmir of the Al-Aqsa Sentani Great Mosque, Nurdin Sanmas, expressed his gratitude for the support of newsprint to Muslims in carrying out the Eid Al-Fitr Prayers 1445 Hijriah.

“This newsprint really helps Muslims in carrying out their prayers, imagine if there was no newsprint then the prayer mat would be wet from the water that wet the mosque yard,” he said.

He said the incident was a form of tolerance between religious communities that had been shown by the OAP community in Jayapura Regency.

“We are brothers so we have to look after and protect each other. At Christmas, Muslim youth will also be involved, especially in securing the holy night service until it continues with morning worship,” he said.
