Checklist: What to Prepare for a Cukur Jambul Ceremony

The Cukur Jambul is a cherished tradition in Malay culture, usually held in conjunction with the Aqiqah. It involves shaving the baby's head and naming the child, often accompanied by Marhaban (praising the Prophet).

Essentials Checklist

• The Tray (Dulang): Usually contains a young coconut (kelapa muda), scissors, dates, and sometimes a bit of gold or silver jewelry.
• Marhaban Group: Arrange for a local group to lead the prayers and blessings.
• Gifts for Guests (Berkat): Common items include hard-boiled eggs, small cakes, or tasbih.
