Adat Segulaha dalam Tradisi Masyarakat Kesultanan Ternate

Abstract

Segulaha custom was a process of establishment and implementation of Ternate <br />sultanate custom which was always obeyed and implemented by all the people<br />of Ternate sultanate from the past time. The establishment of a custom was<br />a joint agreement which becomes a guidance in managing socialization in all<br />aspects for the interest of human prosperity. In implementing a custom, Ternate<br />sultanate used bobato dunia system and bobato akhirat system as the organizer<br />and director of custom convention/regulation and religious custom law. The major<br />foundation of implementing segulaha custom began from se atorang custom, se<br />kabasarang rules, galib se lukudi, ngare se cara sere se doniru and cing se cingari.<br />Segulaha custom was implemented especially for joko kaha ceremony (injak<br />tanah), crownprince coronation ceremony, sultanate inauguration ceremony <br />(jou khalifah, jou kolano), and sultanate death ceremony. Segulaha custom <br />was a form of combining of Islamic religious values and Ternate sultanate<br />cultural values. Both values were integrated into one system of value which<br />was sublimized by all people of Ternate sultanate North Maluku. Until this<br />day, segulaha custom still implemented by the people of Ternate sultanate from<br />generation to generation in cultural events.
