When the time came the ancestors of the Dato Babulu family would ascend to heaven to receive orders from God and then descend back to earth to carry out those orders and as they would ascend to heaven they would use the "Lakat", because the Lakat has a rope that connects heaven and earth. So when the ancestors would ascend to heaven they would sit on the Lakat then pull the rope from the Lakat to ascend to heaven. However, the distance between heaven and earth is now far, so the descendants of the Dato Babulu House only hang it on the roof of the traditional house. Thus, the Lakat served as transport for the ancestors of the Dato Babulu traditional house to travel to heaven to receive God's command, but now it serves as a place to put food for the souls and a place to pray to the ancestors and to God. Lakat cannot be made from just any tree but must be made of a tree called "Ai-tui", as this tree is light, strong, and durable. Lakat will also not be produced by Uma Dato Babulu but produced by a branch of Uma Dato Babulu, which they call Uma Liman Badain Makerek. The Uma Liman Badain Makerek would produce the Lakat. Then it would be brought and hung in the Dato Babulu house and during the sacred ceremony, other people outside the Dato Babulu house generation would not be allowed to approach the Lakat. The previous descendants of the Uma Dato Babulu did not know the history and role of the Lakat, but in 2003 Mr. Eugenio (Mali Iku) received a great miracle through his dream, meeting with their ancestors. During the meeting, the ancestors told him the history of Uma Dato Babulu and the function of the Lakat, so Mr. Mali Iku told his brothers, sisters, and grandchildren about his dream. They decided to rebuild the Lakat and invited all the branches of the traditional house to put the Lakat back in Dato Babulu's traditional house. Now when they pray for a ritual, or ask for blessings, the descendants of Uma Dato Babulu always pray through the Lakat, because they believe that when they pray through the Lakat their prayers and requests will be taken to heaven and will be directly heard by God and the ancestors.
