INTRODUCTION
Tradition is the habit of an activity passed down
from generation to generation from our ancestors, which is usually carried out
by members of the community through ritual ceremonies. Something that has
always been held and has become part of people's lives, information that is passed
on from generation to generation, both written and oral, because without this,
a tradition will be extinct. Traditions can also be interpreted as things that
are transmitted or inherited from the past to the present. Shil
emphasized that: "Humans cannot live without tradition even though they
often feel dissatisfied with their traditions� (Shils 1981).
Customs or traditions are usually defined as a
provision that applies in a particular society and describes a whole way of
life in society. In the big Indonesian dictionary, tradition has two meanings:
first, the hereditary customs that are still carried out by the community.
Second, the assessment or assumption that the existing methods are the best and
correct way. Thus, the tradition is a generic term to designate everything present
accompanies the present.
Wood craft is a form of creativity in making an
art or design, and can make the art of high selling value. In general, wood
crafts can be divided into three types, namely "art product" (mostly
handcrafted art), "mass product" (mostly machine work and art). The
process of making wood crafts is a combination of mechanical processes (cutting
and patterning wood) and traditional art work (manually forming finished
products). The resulting wooden crafts are the result of crafts that have artistic
and functional content (Shils
1981).

1. The
Beginning of the celebration Maudu Lompoa in Cikoang as the Biggest
Birthday Celebration in Takalar Regency
The
tradition of celebrating Maudu Lompoa
is a ceremony to celebrate the Birthday of the Prophet Muhammad SAW on a large
scale by the community in Cikoang Village, Takalar Regency. This Maulid
celebration is held with the intention of commemorating the birthday of the
Prophet Muhammad which coincides on 12 Rabi'ul Awal
every year (KADIR, 2021).
Based
on information and research results, the early history of the emergence of Maudu Lompoa began when a great
cleric from Aceh came to Cikoang to spread Islam. The
understanding of the local community develops and differs according to the
stories given by their parents (Yanti, Jumadi, and Ridha 2019).
According
to an interview with Mr. Muhammad Arif, one of the
religious leaders, as well as a traditional leader (customary council) in Cikoang Village, said that: Maudu
Lompoa was first held because of someone, Tu Panrita (he said Cikoang)
originally from Aceh from a baqdah lecture named Syekh Jalaluddin. This Sheikh Jalaluddin arrived in Cikoang in
1629 AD. At that time he arrived next to the Dutch Cikoang, he brought nine books including the Maulid al-Kitab "Aqidatul Anwal". This Sheikh Jalaluddin
said that I am a descendant of the Messenger of Allah, who graduated from
lectures in the city of Baqdah, where my intention
and purpose was to come here to develop Islam in Cikoang.
So what he first directed to the Cikoang
people three days before his death was about Maulid�
(Muhammad Arif, 2021).
Until
now, the celebration tradition is Maudu Lompoa held livelily and by the people of Cikoang Village, Takalar Regency,
the celebration Maudu Lompoa
has full support from the Takalar Regency government
and the government always provides financial subsidies to make the celebration
tradition a success Maudu Lompoa.
This role is an indication that the Maulid performed
by the Cikoang community is no longer a ceremony for
a few people but has become the government's agenda, but the community still
takes a big role in its implementation.
2. Cikoang People's Belief About Maudu Lompoa in Takalar Kapaten
The
emergence of a belief is usually motivated by an awareness of the existence of
an abstract soul. In the human mind, the soul is transformed into creatures
that surround human habitation. In human life, living things get special
treatment and very important places which are then used as objects of worship.
In addition, a belief can also arise because of a sense of awe in humans for
extraordinary things. That power cannot be explained by reason and is above
human strength (Marhaeni et al. 2011).
In commemorating
the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, the Cikoang
people commemorate it by carrying out a series of events that are traditionally
ceremonial. Traditional community ceremonies are the embodiment of a belief
system that has universal values that are sacred, holy, and every
human activity always has goals and objectives to be achieved, including
religious activities.
For
the people of Cikoang Village, the celebration
tradition Maudu Lompoa has
very good benefits and influences for the surrounding community and also has a
very deep meaning. The celebration Maudu Lompoa contains a philosophy of life that is very closely
related to the events of the universe and the beginning of the creator of the
human spirit. This is closely related to the understanding of makrifat believed by the Cikoang
people, namely Kaniakg, Kalassukang,
and Pakaramula. Understanding Makrifat
is an attempt to understand the spiritual essence of Allah Subhana
