Surabaya, April 08, 2024 – Eid al-Fitr 1 Syawal 1445 H is just days away. All Muslims are eagerly preparing to welcome the arrival of The Day of Victory, Lebaran Day. Everything is meticulously prepared, starting from cleaning homes, clothes for Eid prayers, to serving special Lebaran menus. This includes mosques that will be the venue for congregational Eid al-Fitr prayers. Mosques are the first destination for Muslims on Eid al-Fitr before visiting family and relatives. Just as they would anticipate the arrival of hundreds to thousands of guests, mosques also beautify themselves to welcome their congregants.
As the country with the second-largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia has almost one million mosques and musholas (prayer rooms). The opportunity to beautify Muslim places of worship is a routine agenda carried out by Avian Brands. "In line with corporate social responsibility, beautifying mosques in several regions of the archipelago is one of the consistent activities carried out by Avian Brands. This action also coincides with many special moments for Muslims in the country, including Eid al-Fitr. In 2024, there are 100 mosques targeted for repainting to be beautified," stated Novi Christiana, Deputy Marketing Director Avian Brands in a press release.
The repainting of mosques by Avian Brands has been carried out in stages since the beginning of this year. Starting from Jakarta, Pekanbaru, Palembang, Bulukumba, Pekalongan, Bekasi, Banyuwangi, Central Lampung, with work underway in mosques in other areas. 45 mosques are targeted to be completed before Lebaran, and the remaining 55 after Lebaran until completion by the end of the year. To date, Avian Brands has distributed over 23,144 kg of paint for mosque repainting, including interior and exterior wall paint, wood paint, metal paint, and also providing application tools.
“We focus on using one of Avian Brands' products, Avitex Gold #TheChampionofWallPaint, a multifunctional paint that can be used on exterior (outdoor) and interior (indoor) walls. Furthermore, its deep matte finish allows Avitex Gold to perfectly cover imperfections on walls and ceilings. The innovation in Avitex Gold #TheChampionofWallPaint is indeed dedicated to solving all wall painting problems," Novi Christiana affirmed.
One of the administrators of Al-Khairat Mosque in Pekanbaru, Prayitno, expressed his happiness because the mosque he manages is one of the 100 mosques that will be beautified by Avian Brands. “We are very grateful and appreciate Avian Brands for making our mosque more colorful and fresh. May Avian Brands always be blessed and its products increasingly cherished. Thus, we hope more congregants will come and be enthusiastic about worship.”
Approaching 46 years, Avian Brands is always committed and consistent in continually innovating to create high-quality, environmentally friendly products with green label certification, manufactured in accordance with international standards to meet the needs of the Indonesian people.
On this special occasion, all management and the extended family of Avian Brands extend their greetings: "Happy Eid al-Fitr 1445 H, Please Forgive Our Physical and Spiritual Faults. May all acts of worship be accepted by Allah SWT".
