The Phenomenon of Mutimualo Tradition in The Community in Gorontalo Regency: (a Living Hadith Study)

Abstrak

The study of Gorontalo religious phenomena which have been integrated with culture and are believed to be a legacy of tradition passed down from generation to generation since Islam was established in Gorontalo is the mutimualo tradition. This research aims to explore the phenomenon of the mutimualo tradition and understand the hadith which is brought to life as a tradition in the social life of the Gorontalo people. This type of research is qualitative descriptive analysis research using a living hadith approach which focuses on traditional practices that live in society, then links social phenomena with the hadith of the Prophet. This research shows that the mutimualo tradition is believed to be a syncretic teaching, a combination of the prophet's teachings with traditions passed down from generation to generation. The practice of mutimualo rituals is adapted to the context of the Gorontalo Regency community due to acculturation between tradition and the Islamic religion.
