Assalamu'alaikum keurakan bansigom donya...
In this post you can see how the traditions of the Acehnese people in visiting the graves, and events like this have been carried out by the people of Aceh since their ancestors in ancient times and are still being felt by the people of Aceh today.
what is the aim of the people of Aceh to make an event like this at a cemetery
There are several purposes for the people of Aceh to make events like this at a grave.
The main goal is to say a prayer to God, may the inhabitants of the graves be forgiven for all the sins they have committed while they were alive, both major sins and minor sins.
and vice versa, the Acehnese people will ask for blessings through prayer from the spirits or the inhabitants of the graves who are noble beside God.
apart from that, the Acehnese people also provide compensation at the grave site to orphans and to underprivileged women.
The compensation is in the form of special food that is cooked in that place too.
and compensation is also added to alms in the form of money which will be distributed simultaneously.
Here you can see the curried goat that has been cooked and ready to be distributed to all grave visitors, such as traditional leaders, the elderly and children.
