West Java Politician: Islamic New Year Inspires Self-Improvement, Community Care

The Islamic New Year, 1 Muharram 1448 Hijriah, offers a chance for introspection and enhancing community spirit, according to Tina Wiryawati, a member of the West Java Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) from the Gerindra Faction.

Wiryawati stated that the Hijrah, or migration, exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad, represents not just a physical journey but a transformation toward a better life in all aspects. "The Islamic New Year is a moment for self-evaluation. We are invited to look back at what we have done and how to improve ourselves to become more beneficial individuals for our families, communities, and society," she said.

The council member stressed that the values of Hijrah should translate into concrete actions, including improving religious devotion, strengthening social solidarity, and fostering a spirit of mutual cooperation. In the face of current social and economic challenges, she believes that caring for others is increasingly vital. "The challenges of life today, especially in West Java, require togetherness. We cannot walk alone. The values taught in Islam, such as helping each other, strengthening each other, and maintaining brotherhood, must continue to be lived in our daily lives," Wiryawati added.

Wiryawati believes that the youth in West Java play a strategic role in the region's development and must be equipped with religious values, integrity, and a continuous learning spirit. "The Islamic New Year serves as a reminder that change always starts from within. Let's make this moment a step to improve our quality of life, increase social care, and strengthen positive contributions to society and the region," she concluded.

Wiryawati extended her greetings for the new Islamic year, wishing for blessings, peace, and renewed enthusiasm for collective progress toward a more advanced, prosperous, and morally upright society in West Java.
