Abstract

Government policies related to joint leave days and the national holiday of 1 Muharram lead to many controversies. Because in the decision, Hijri New Year Holiday or 1 Muharram, which originally coincided on August 10, 2021, was postponed to August 11, 2021. Subsequently, it triggered a response from netizens who attributed the phenomenon as a form of deviation, based on surah At-Taubah: Verse 37. The method in this study was library research. This study aimed to determine whether the postponing phenomenon of 1 Muharram holiday conducted by the government was similar to the tafseer (interpretation) of At-Taubah: Verse 37. The sources of data collection were primary and secondary. Primary sources were obtained from the internet and social media, including Tiktok and Facebook. Secondary sources were obtained from several tafseer books. Tafseer of surah At-Taubah: verse 37 by the mufassir (interpreter) were principally different from netizens’ understanding. Netizens assumed the government decision regarding 1 Muharram holiday as a deviation. Based on the above-mentioned explanation, it concluded that what happened on social media regarding the postponing of 1 Muharram holiday by the government required a further examination. It was required as many netizens were still mistaken to understand the meaning of surah At-Taubah: Verse 37, which was not following the mufassir’s tafseer. As a result, the government’s decision to postpone 1 Muharram holiday was considered a deviation by netizens. Certainly, it did not only cause uproar in cyberspace and the real world.
