Govt readies 6,291 mosques to support Eid homecoming exodus

 The Ministry of Religious Affairs has prepared 6,291 mosques as posts under the Friendly Mosque initiative to support and accommodate people participating in the 2025 Eid al-Fitr homecoming exodus.

"We have coordinated with the regional offices of the ministry so that the mosque-based posts along the homecoming routes are ready to provide the best services," Director General of Islamic Community Development at the ministry Abu Rokhmad said 

He added that the mosques, which will remain open 24 hours, have been prepared in keeping with the suggestion of Religious Affairs Minister Nasaruddin Umar so that the ministry can participate in providing comfort to homecoming travelers.

He informed that the mosques will provide clean water, places to rest, and even meals for iftar.

He said that the Ministry of Religious Affairs is continuing to urge its staff and regional mosque management agencies (BKM) to make efforts to encourage mosques to provide the best services.

"This is a real manifestation of religious services that have an impact on the community," he added.

Based on data from the Directorate General of Islamic Community Development, 6,291 mosques spread across 23 provinces are ready to serve as Eid homecoming posts.

With the collaboration and contribution of all related parties in the regions, the program is expected to help homecoming travelers.

According to him, that number will continue to grow. The community has also started to participate in the effort, for instance, by donating food.

The Friendly Mosque program has been implemented based on the Circular of Religious Affairs Minister Number 2 of 2025. Minister Umar has asked mosques to remain open round-the-clock to support the smoothness of the 2025 homecoming exodus flow.
