The chairman of Indonesia’s second-largest Muslim organization, Muhammadiyah, has urged Muslims to use Idul Fitri as a time to improve and strengthen social solidarity.

“Idul Fitri is a time to tighten brotherhood and to foster our affection toward others,” Muhammadiyah chairman Din Syamsuddin said Monday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

Din also asked every member of Muhammadiyah to prepare their Idul Fitri prayers well and coordinate with others who would celebrate Idul Fitri on the same day, so that their prayers run smoothly, accordingly to Islamic teachings.

Muhammadiyah has declared that Idul Fitri falls on Tuesday.
