History of the Kingdom of Tidore

1. History
Tidore is an island located in the Maluku archipelago. Before Islam came to earth archipelago, known by the name of Kie Tidore Duko, which means the island is volcanic. The naming is in accordance with topography Tidore which has a volcano - even the highest in the Maluku islands - which they named the mountain Marijang. Currently, the mountain Marijang no longer active. Tidore name comes from the combination of the two series and Tidore word dialect of Iraqi Arabic: the language of Tidore, To re ado, meaning, 'I have arrived' and the Iraqi dialect of Arabic anta thadore which means 'you came'. Merging two sets of words from two languages ​​stems from an incident that occurred in Tidore. According to his story, in this Tidore frequent clashes between the Momole (chieftain), which is supported by the members of each community in the fight over tribal territory. The dispute is often caused bloodshed. Attempts to resolve these disputes is always a failure.
One time, an estimated 846 years AD, Ibn Chardazabah entourage, envoy of the Caliph al-Mutawakkil the Abbasid Empire in Baghdad arrived in Tidore. At that time, in Tidore was going dispute between momole. To mitigate and resolve these disputes, one party member Ibn Chardazabah, named Jacob Syech intervene by facilitating the negotiations referred to Togorebo. The meeting agreed on a large rock at the foot of the mountain Marijang. The deal, momole who arrived most quickly to the location of the meeting will be winners and chaired the meeting. In that event, every momole are up to the meeting location is always shouting To re ado, because he felt it was he who came first and be a winner. However, apparently some people are fighting momole arrived at the same time, so nothing is lost and won. Intermittent few moments later, Syech Jacob who became facilitators also arrived on the scene and said the dialect Iraknya: Anta thadore. Because the momole came at the same time, then nothing is a winner, finally appointed as the leader is Syech Jacob. That said, since then has become a popular word Tidore, a combination of two words: Ta and Thadore re ado. Thus, said Tidore eventually replaces Kie said Duko and became the name of a great empire.
According to the Sultanate of Tidore, the kingdom was established Jou Kolano Sahjati ascended the throne on 12 Rabiul Awal 502 AH (1108 AD). However, these sources do not explain clearly the location of the center of the kingdom at that time. Sahjati origins can be traced from the story of the arrival of domestic Maghreb Djafar Noh in Tidore. Noh and then marry a local girl, named Siti Nursafa. From the marriage, was born four sons and four daughters. Four sons were: Sahjati, founder of the kingdom of Tidore; Darajati, founder of the empire Moti; Kaicil Open, founder of the empire Makian; Chapter Malamo Mansur, the founder of the sultanate of Ternate. While the four daughters are: Boki Saharnawi, which lowers the kings of Banggai; Boki Sadarnawi, which lowers the kings Tobungku; Boki Sagarnawi, which lowers the kings Loloda; and Boki Dewi Gita, which lowers Marsaoli and Mardike. Kingdom of Tidore is one of the pillars that form Kie Raha, the other is Ternate, Makian and Moti.
Based on the legend of the origin of the above, it appears that the four kingdoms is derived from a common ancestor: Djafar Noh and Siti Nursafa. Regardless of right or wrong, the emergence and development of the legend of the origin is clearly demonstrated an awareness of brotherhood between the kingdom of Kie Raha (combined four major kingdoms in North Maluku, namely: Ternate, Tidore, and Moti Makian) so that they then legitimize it with a origin myth.
