Polres Jakarta Timur ingatkan warga tak selenggarakan saur on the road
Polres Jakarta Timur has issued a warning to residents to not conduct “saur on the road” during the holy month of Ramadan. This practice involves eating suhoor, the pre-dawn meal before fasting begins, on the streets or in public places. While it may seem like a harmless tradition, saur on the road can pose a number of safety risks and is also considered disrespectful to others.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset as a way to purify the soul and develop self-discipline. Suhoor is an important meal that provides the necessary energy to sustain individuals throughout the day. However, consuming food and drinks in public spaces can lead to littering and attract pests such as rats and stray animals.
In addition to the hygiene concerns, saur on the road can also disrupt traffic flow and create congestion in busy areas. This can pose a danger to both pedestrians and motorists, as well as lead to accidents and injuries. By gathering in large groups on the streets, individuals are also at risk of becoming targets for crime and theft.
Furthermore, conducting saur on the road goes against the spirit of Ramadan, which emphasizes humility, self-restraint, and respect for others. It is important for Muslims to observe their religious practices in a manner that is considerate of those around them and preserves the sanctity of the holy month.
Polres Jakarta Timur is urging residents to practice sahur at home or in designated places such as mosques, community centers, or restaurants. By doing so, individuals can ensure a safer and more respectful Ramadan experience for themselves and their community.
In conclusion, it is important for everyone to be mindful of their actions and considerate of others during Ramadan. By avoiding practices such as saur on the road, we can create a more harmonious and peaceful environment for all. Let us all strive to observe the holy month with reverence and respect, both for ourselves and those around us.
