USTADZ INDONESIA IMAMI SALAT ID DI AUSTRALIA

Komunitas Muslim Indonesia di Perth, Australia Barat, menggelar salat Idul Fitri 1430 Hijriah, Minggu (20/9), dengan khatib dan imam, Ustadz Agus Setiawan.

Wakil Konsul Fungsi Pensosbud Konsulat RI di Perth Ricky Suhendar, mengatakan, Sabtu malam, salat Id itu akan dilangsungkan di "The Embassy Ballroom, Jalan Presiden 115, Carlisle, pada pukul 07.30 waktu setempat.

"Kepastian Idul Fitri 1430 Hijriah itu jatuh hari Minggu sesuai dengan hasil rukyatul hilal di Perth dan sekitarnya," kata Ricky.

Sementara itu, Muslim mancanegara, termasuk asal Indonesia, di negara bagian Queensland juga dipastikan merayakan Idul Fitri 1430 Hijriah pada hari yang sama di masjid, sekolah dan taman.

Di kota Brisbane dan sekitarnya, informasi tentang kepastian jatuhnya Idul Fitri 1430 Hijriah hari Minggu disebarkan "Queensland Muslims" lewat laman (situs) resminya maupun layanan pesan singkat (SMS) ke semua nomor telepon selular warga Muslim yang mendaftar.

Para pengurus sejumlah organisasi keislaman, sekolah Islam, dan masjid di kota Brisbane dan sekitarnya menggelar salat Id di sejumlah tempat.

Pengurus Perhimpunan Mahasiswa Muslim di Universitas Queensland (MSA-UQ) misalnya akan menggelar shalat Id di Taman William Dart (Taman Munro) kampus UQ pada pukul 7.15 waktu Brisbane. Sebelum salat dimulai, para jamaah melantunkan takbir dan tahmid bersama.

Selain di UQ, shalat Id juga digelar di Islamic College of Brisbane (Karawata), Australian International Islamic College (Durak), Masjid Lutwych, Masjid Algester dan Masjid Bald Hills dengan waktu pelaksanaan bervariasi antara pukul 06.00 dan 07.30 waktu setempat.

Pada penetapan awal Ramadan 1430 Hijriah, komunitas Muslim di Australia tidak berbeda dengan umat Islam Indonesia, yakni 22 Agustus 2009. Di Indonesia, Idul Fitri 1430 Hijriah sudah ditetapkan jatuh hari Minggu (20/9).

Di seluruh Australia, terdapat lebih dari 340 ribu warga Muslim yang berasal dari beragam bangsa.

About Me

My photo
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Hi, I am a journalist of ANTARA, Indonesia's national news agency whose headquarters is in Jakarta. My fate has brought me back to Australia since March 2007 because my office assigns me to be the ANTARA correspondent there. My first visit to the neighboring country was in 2004 when I did my masters at the School of Journalism and Communication, the University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, under the Australian Development Scholarship (ADS) scheme. However, the phase of my life was started from a small town in North Sumatra Province, called Pangkalan Brandan. In that coastal town, I was born and grown up. Having completed my senior high school there in 1987, I moved to Medan to pursue my study at the University of North Sumatra (USU) and obtained my Sarjana (BA) degree in English literature in 1992. My Master of Journalism (MJ) was completed at UQ in July 2005. The final research project report for my MJ degree was entitled "Framing the Australian Embassy Bombing (Jakarta) in Indonesian and Australian Newspapers". Further details about me can be read in a writing posted in my blog entitled "My Life Journey".
