HISAB OR RUKYAT?

Every year Muslims in Indonesia are faced with unique issues surrounding the differences in the initial determination of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. Uniformity can sometimes occur, although it can be said simply 'chance' because the position of the new moon is indeed reassuring to see or not to be seen, not because there is already a compromise from time to time. Actually the difference is 'only' difference fiqhiyah alone. Meaning has long been a discussion and differences of the scholars. But it is a very unfortunate, it was later enlarged into a social concern. On the day that we should be happy, someone who makes a platform to insult and roll the ball a split in the middle of the congregation. Not only that, once the incidence of a wife who 'provoked' place in about an assembly taklim, to the extent that different widths to choose their own husbands at home!. Not to mention the same story over and over, between a child with his father, between neighbors, between families and perhaps in a larger scale than that.
Seeing this, sometimes there is a burst-burst 'naughty' I have frequently when filling recitation of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr before. I said innocently: "How can we then compact struggle and suffer together, while for compact berlebaran and have fun with it not? ". We're sorry, personally this is very disturbing, because I took a five-year study in Sudan, the differences in the determination of the beginning and end of Ramadan I just found in books of fiqh, but not in the real world!. Muslims in Sudan, including the clerical-compact, hand over this issue in the determination of the existing government. Again, I have often commented: "What in Indonesia too many smart people well? so that all can set their own? while in the Sudan there is no clever huh? so obedient-obedient to the government in this matter? ". In my heart I had bersu'udzhon with clever people in Indonesia, why would not vacate the chest to the agenda of the symbols of ukhuwah and unity. Surely we all do not expect that the agenda ukhuwah and symbols must be at stake each year, simply because the label and the identity of the organization? Astaghfirullah ... hopefully I do not overdo the suudzhon.
Sorry I did not invite you to be pessimistic, but just the opposite. Let's look more in-depth understanding and existing problems. I am sure that each of us miss the festive Eid, symbols, and unite the whole people and nation ukhuwah. Various measures have also repeatedly tried and implemented. Be important for us to 'glance' actual conditions and realities for a moment the ongoing issues surrounding the determination of the beginning and end of Ramadan.
Some of the steps that have been done, for example; In the 1990s, once the proposed criteria to be a reference MABIMS with the criteria determining the Islamic calendar in Indonesia and also in Brunei Darussalam, Malaysia, and Singapore. Stated criteria are determined early in the month when the height of more than 2 degrees, the distance of the moon-sun angle over 3 degrees, and age of the moon since ijtimak (moon and sun line of longitude) over 8 hours. Some Islamic organizations receiving these criteria, but some are not accepted.
Islamic organizations and Preliminary Determination of End of RamadanIndonesia's largest Islamic organization known as Ulama Nadhatul Hilalnya Rukyatul method, but in fact long since NU pesantren have been studying astronomy and computation methods to escort the rukyatul hilal. NU Tanfidz Lajnah Falakiyah very thorough and professional in researching the new moon position from time to time. I personally had a little 'berguru'kitab Riyadhus Sholihin. indirectly to the chairman of its Standing Committee KH. Ghozali Masrurie-hafidzhohullah-, and I am very impressed with the thoroughness and his stance, in many ways, including the issue of determining the beginning and end of Ramadan. NU on the latest developments in high-months using the criteria of at least 2 degrees. This criterion refers to the imkanur rukyah (possible sighting of the moon will be visible)
Muhammadiyah is known by the method of computation or calculation using the criteria wujudul hilal. Wujudul criteria stated earlier this month the new moon when the moon was being determined on the horizon or a high positive month marked by the moon sets after sunset. This means that the height of 0.2 degrees in Muhammadiyah criteria was considered the beginning of the new moon. Besides Muhammadiyah also uses the principle of the criteria wujudul wilayatul hukmi moon, when the moon has been in existence in some parts of Indonesia, then it is considered valid in all regions of Indonesia law.
Meanwhile, PP Islamic Union (Persis) also adopted the method computation (astronomical calculation) using the criteria wujudul hilal to the whole of Indonesia. Several other organizations such as MMI and HTI remained consistent global rukyah method by following the rukyah in Saudi Arabian country. On this side they are consistent with jumhur opinion about the determination of the beginning and end of Ramadan. Council of Islamic Prosperous Justice Party before 2006 also perform calculations and rukyah independently to determine the beginning and end of Ramadan, Eid al-Adha as well. But later they find it more convenient to submit the matter is entirely in ulil amri in this government. Diversity that exists in this case really fair if followed by understanding and readiness in the face. The lowest level, particularly as between members of the community.
How the role of government?Established the Department of Religion and Rukyah reckoning that combines the two methods with reference itsbatnya rukyah. Every year, especially ahead of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, held hearings involving representatives ithbat all major Islamic organizations in Indonesia. Not only that, also discussed communication measures in an attempt unification and uniformity in the method of determining the beginning and end of Ramadan. Latest effort is the birth fatwa Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) No. 2/2004 about the necessity of Muslims to follow the government's decision in determining the start of Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. Of course this is good progress in this noble effort. Homework that is left is too used to hang a different society, in order to realize the urgency of unification, for the creation of the symbols of Islam and ukhuwah greater."And whoever exalts the symbols, the symbols of Allah, then indeed it arises from piety of heart" (Surat al-Hajj: 32)
