Doha, Qatar — In an atmosphere of deep reverence and togetherness, the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia (KBRI) in Doha, in collaboration with the Indonesian Muslim Society in Qatar (IMSQA), once again organized the Eid al-Adha 1447 H prayer in Doha, Qatar, on 27 May 2026.
This profoundly meaningful event was attended by approximately 1,000 Indonesian nationals residing in Qatar. The enthusiasm of the Indonesian community was remarkably high, as reflected by the attendance of participants who travelled from various districts of Doha and its surrounding areas to collectively observe one of the most significant religious occasions in the Islamic calendar.
To ensure the smooth and orderly conduct of the prayers, officers from the Qatar Police and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar were present to provide security and assistance. Their presence served as a tangible expression of the Government of the State of Qatar to support the Indonesian expatriate community in freely practising their faith in accordance with their beliefs.
The Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to Qatar extended his sincere appreciation and heartfelt gratitude to all parties whose full support made this event possible. Special thanks were conveyed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, the Ministry of Education and Higher Education of Qatar, the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs of Qatar, and Tariq Bin Ziyad School, which generously provided the necessary facilities to ensure that the entire Eid prayer was conducted in an orderly and solemn manner.
The Ambassador also expressed his deepest gratitude to all members of the Indonesian community in Qatar for their enthusiastic participation and contribution to the success of this Eid al-Adha prayer. He noted that the spirit of togetherness in moments of worship such as this not only strengthens the bonds of fellowship among Indonesians living abroad, but also serves as a gentle solace for the longing for home that forever resides in the hearts of every member of the Indonesian diaspora.
On a separate occasion, IMSQA also conveyed that the Eid Prayer event was held with the aim of nurturing harmony among the faithful, particularly within the Indonesian community in Qatar. It is hoped that the spirit of Eid al-Adha will serve as a powerful source of motivation for Indonesian Muslims in Qatar to uphold peace and unity.
The Eid al-Adha 1447 AH prayer was concluded with a warm and convivial gathering among the Indonesian community in Qatar. The occasion provided a cherished opportunity for all attendees to reconnect, share stories, and further strengthen the sense of brotherhood and solidarity as fellow citizens of the nation living on foreign soil. The Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia in Doha expresses its hope that the spirit of unity and devotion forged during this Eid al-Adha celebration will continue to serve as a bond of cohesion for the Indonesian community in Qatar, while also standing as a reflection of the enduring and ever-growing friendship between Indonesia and Qatar.
