Penelitian ini berupaya mengungkap sejarah masjid kuno di kota Ternate. Lewat
pendekatan historis-arkeologis, masjid kuno dideskripsikan secara komprehensif. Dari hasil
penelitian terhadap Sigi Lamo (Masjid Agung) Kesultanan Ternate, beberapa poin yang
diungkapkan yaitu, pertama, Sigi Lamo Kesultanan Ternate merupakan masjid tertua di
Ternate yang didirikan sekitar tahun 1606 M pada masa Sultan Hamzah (1628-1648).
Kedua, dari segi letak Sigi Lamo Kesultanan Ternate sangat berbeda dengan masjid yang
ada di Jawa—di mana masjid selalu berdekatan dengan kraton, alun-alun, dan pasar—.
Namun, dari aspek arsitektur terlihat ada pengaruh Jawa seperti adanya tiang penyangga
di dalam masjid atau saka guru sebagai penyangga atap yang piramidal, dengan kemiringan
tajam mirip dengan konstruksi tajug, lebar serambi selebar unit ruang utama salat. Pada
setiap sisi masjid Sultan, atap puncaknya dibuat jendela atap. Di barat masjid terdapat
juga komplek pemakaman keluarga sultan. Ketiga, peribadatan di Sigi Lamo Kesultanan
Ternate, diatur berdasarkan bobato akhirat yang mewakili dari masing-masing etnis atau
daerah yang ada di Ternate. Bobato akhirat tersebut terdiri dari Imam Jiko, Imam Jawa,
Imam Sangaji, dan Imam Moti.Keempat imam inilah bertugas secara bergantian setiap
minggunya untuk mengatur peribadatan di Masjid Sultan.
