This study shows that Muslim ritual traditions of Gorontalo are deeply influenced by Sufi order's mysticisms and practices. These traditions are expressed in various local rituals and cultures. This integration of religion and culture affirms the pattern of religious expression which is unique and localized. The appreciation of the existence of God in this locale is realized through the chanting and supplication to the souls of forebears and through the event of public gratitude when the people are blessed with abundant bounties.indWith permission of the license/copyright holderMysticismReligious PracticeGorontaloSyari'aLocalityCultural ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsGeneral and historicalTheological ethicsCommunity ethicsEthnicity and ethicsJournal volume
