The Coronation Customs of Sultan Arifiyyah

 

    A beautiful day to all readers, today we would like to share about the customs of the coronation of Sultan Arifiyyah that have been done since the coronation of Sultan Arifiyyah I until today. Usually, the coronation day will be held on Friday morning. The Sultan needs to go to the mosque to perform the sunnah prayers before the ceremony begins. All the audience consisting of ministers and politicians, dignitaries and ordinary people will enter the palace grounds to wait for the sultan. The Sultan will take a special car accompanied by several police cars to the palace. The Nobat music will be played when the Sultan has arrived at the palace, then the audience will be asked to stand. The sultan will be accompanied by the palace adviser as the sultan's personal assistant (not the prime minister) into the palace hall. The Sultan was then given a coronation letter and had to read it while facing the audience. "I, (full name of the sultan) accept the coronation as Sultan Arifiyyah and promise to maintain the peace and harmony of Arifiyyah Darul Fikr", that is the oath that His Majesty will make.

 

The Sultan will sit on the throne and his assistant will bring a copy of the religious holy book and a dagger. Then he would kiss them both and hand them back to the royal aide. The army will fire 9 cannon shots outside the palace grounds and be seen by the Sultan and the audience. 9 shots symbolize nine states in Arifiyyah. Later, the Sultan will be accompanied by several palace officials to the orangutan cage defended by the palace. The Sultan will hug an Orangutan and then feed him 3 banana seeds. This was done by Sultan Arif I during his coronation ceremony in honor of the original inhabitants of Arifiyyah before the arrival of humans and is maintained until today.

 

Finally a royal banquet. Interestingly, the Sultan will wash his hands with rose water as well as inheriting the behavior of Sultan Arifiyyah I during his coronation ceremony. Then the Sultan and the others ate their meals together. Usually, this ceremony will end right before the time of the midday prayer, then the Sultan will lead the midday prayer at the National Mosque.

 

That’s all our sharing about the interesting culture in Arifiyyah. Hope you enjoy the info and look forward to the upcoming cultural sharing. 

Thanks for read

BREAKING NEWS

19 DECEMBER 1421

PEOPLE'S JUSTICE ALLIANCE INTERNAL CRISIS

 

10 days ago, Parti Amanah Kebangsaan president TG Haji Faiz Syafiq As-Sultani and People's Justice Party vice-president Tuan Ahmad Fayiz were fired from PJA and their respective parties on charges of betraying the party, after several viral photos of the two people together some NPC leaders at a dinner party. There are also pictures of them visiting NPC headquarters. Although they denied colluding with the NPC, they were ignored by the PKR President and PJA leader, Tuan Syed Sigaraga and some PJA leaders. "We are not afraid of losing members at all, because we are still strong and I can feel that they do not dare to leave the party because the general election will take place soon. If they leave, those who are influential may lose their influence, "said Syed Sigaraga at a press conference 7 days ago.

 

However, something unexpected when more than 80% of Parti Amanah members and almost 30% PKR members across the country left the party and join NPC after TG Haji Faiz Syafiq and Tuan Fayiz announced to join  PIA and UANO two days ago, they said they will "start from the bottom", as it was considered not fair if they already get positions in the party. The AMANAH leadership has decided to dissolve AMANAH, as some of their members across the country decided to join PKR while part of the morning decided to join LUP. "For God's sake, we never incited them to leave the party, if PJA wants to accuse us again, we will deny it. They came out of their own volition, I swear I and Tuan Fayiz are not responsible for their actions," said TG Haji Faiz Syafiq at a press conference yesterday.

Sultan Arif Nazhim Shah has decided to wait for December 21, the day of the dissolution of parliament for the 15th national election.
