History of the Birth tahlilan in Death Ceremony

Pioneer, broadcasting pioneer and the first opening and the development of Islam in Java is the clergy / mubaligh of nine, which is popular with sebuatan Wali Songo. Top of their struggle, succeeded in establishing an Islamic empire in the island's first Java based in Demak, Central Java. The scholars are nine in the broadcast and develop Islam in the land of Java-majority Hindus and Buddhists have difficulty in removing the old customs of a religious ceremony for those who had converted to Islam. The scholars are nine (Wali Songo) in menangguangi old customs issues for those who had converted to Islam divided into two streams namely Giri and FLOW FLOW TUBAN. FLOW Giri is a stream which is led by Raden Paku (Sunan Giri) with the supporters of Raden Rahmat (Sunan Ampel), Syarifuddin (Sunan Drajat) and others. This flow in matters of worship was not familiar with compromise with Buddhism, Hinduism, belief in animism and dynamism. People who voluntarily converted to Islam through this stream, must be willing to throw away all the old customs that are contrary to Islamic law without reserve. Because of its pure air flow in and develop Islam, then this flow is called ISLAM WHITE. The FLOW is a flow TUBAN led by RM Shaheed (Sunan Kalijaga) supported by Sunan Bonang, Sunan Muria, Sunan Kudus, and Sunan Gunung Djati. This flow is very moderate, they let the first of his followers who worked on the old religious customs ceremony that is ingrained difficult discarded, as long as they want embraced Islam. So they do not deviate too far from the Islamic shariah. So the mayor tried to keep the flow of Tuban customs Buddhism, Hinduism, animism and dynamism of Islamic colored. Because this flow is moderate followers far more than the followers of Giri the "radical". This flow is highlighted by the flow Giri for allegedly mixing mortar Islamic law with other religions. So it was labeled as stream flow abangan Islam.

With Hinduism ajarah contained in the Book Brahmins. A book whose contents set procedures for offering, dish-dish to worship the gods and ceremonies honoring the spirits to honor the dead (ancestors) there are rules called Big and Small Yajna Yajna. Large Yajna is divided into two parts, namely Hafiryayajna and Somayjna. Somayjna is a special ceremony to certain people. The Hafiryayajna for everyone. Somayajna is a special ceremony to certain people. The Hafiryayajna for everyone. Hafiryayajna divided into four parts, namely: Aghnidheya, Pinda Pitre Yajna, Chess society, and Aghrain. Of the four there is one very heavy discarded until now for people who have converted to Islam is Pinda Pitre Yajna ceremony is a ceremony honoring the spirits of the dead. In Pitre Pinda Yajna ceremony, there is a belief that human beings after die, before entering Karman, which was transformed into the world is born again there is a god, humans, animals and even transformed into stones, plants and others according to his deeds during life, from 1-7 days the spirit is still in the home environment family. On day 40, 100, 1000 of his death, the spirit comes back to his family home. Therefore, the these days must be held ceremonial food-offerings and reading incantations and sacred songs to appeal to the gods that the spirit of the so and so live the good karma of being human, do not become the other. Implementation of the ceremony begins with aghnideya, namely the sacred fire (burning incense) for contact with the gods and spirits the so and so designated. Furthermore, continued with serve-food-serving form of food, beverages and others to be offered to the gods, then continued with the reading of spells and sacred songs by the priests for their petition was granted .* 1 The Council of Guardians * 2 At the time of the trustee under leadership of Sunan Ampel, never held meetings between the mayors to solve the old customs for the people who had converted to Islam. In the Sunan Kali Jaga deliberation as the Chairman of the flow of Tuban propose to the Majlis for customs long deliberation difficult discarded, including the Yajna ceremony Pinda Pitre entered Islamic elements. Proposed has become a serious problem at that time because the ulama (guardian) knew very well that the old traditional funeral ceremonies and other highly distorted with the teachings of true Islam. Sunan Kali Jaga hear the proposal that full diplomatic, the Sunan Ampel as the lords of the mayor at that time and also become chairman of the hearing / meeting to ask questions as follows: "Do not worry about the future?, That the old customs that later will be considered as the teachings of Islam, so in that case later if this is not going to make heresy"?. Sunan Ampel questions are then answered by the Holy Sunan as follows:

"I strongly agree with the opinion of Sunan Kali Jaga " Even Sunan Ampel, Sunan Giri, Sunan Drajat and highly do not agree, but the majority of members approved the proposed consultation Sunan Kali Jaga, then it is run in accordance with her wishes. From now on it is officially based on the results of deliberation, the ceremony in Hinduism called Pinda Pitre Yajna preserved by Islamic people Tuban stream that became known by the name nelung dino, mitung dina, mature twenty, nyatus, and nyewu. From the result of Tuban flow software, it is not just a ceremony like that which flourished, but the belief of animism and dynamism as well as other traditional ceremonies participate flourished. Therefore it is not Sunan Kali Jaga surprised his disciples themselves are named Sheikh Siti Jenar feel very free to have the opportunity to mensinkritismekan Hindu teachings of Islam. From the processed product, then the birth of a teaching occult / cult that smells of Islam. And grow what is called "manunggaling burghers Gusti" which means God together with my body. So the procedure to get closer to God through prayer, fasting, zakat, hajj, etc. do not have to be done. Although Sheikh Siti Jenar was killed, but the students are pretty much already spread everywhere. From it, the belief such a fertile life until now. The situation of Muslims after the guardian dies further away from the teachings of true Islam. Giri Ulama flow that continues to affect the kings of Islam in particular and society in general to establish a pure Islamic law has come under fire and threat of Islamic kings at that time, because the kings of the majority embraced Islam Tuban flow. So the central government in Demak kingdom tried to move into Pajang for apart from the influence of the clergy Giri flow. During the Islamic kingdom in Java, under the leadership of king Amangkurat I, the scholars who try to influence the palace and the community, they were rounded up and killed / dibrondong in the field as many as 7,000 people Surakarta scholars. Seeing an arbitrary action against the cleric Giri flow, then Trunojoyo, Pupils Giri tried to make the strength to attack Amangkurat I that bastard. In the kingdom held by Amangkurat II as a substitute for his father, he defended, Joyo Truno grudge against the government attacked his father. He worked with VOC attacked Giri Kedaton and all upala and religious students were killed Giri flow-out, even all the descendants Sunan Giri exterminated as well. Thus, gone are already scholars of Islam that consistent enforcement. Scholars who may live in a time that is soft scholars (moderate), which would conform to the existing state of society. then increased suburlah old customs attached to the Islamic people, especially Pinde Pitre Yajna ceremony in the ceremony of death. Such a situation continued for centuries without a ulamapun who appeared to scrape out the old mores inherent in Islam, especially Pinda Pitre Yajna. New in 1912 AD, appears in Yogyakarta, a scholar named KH Ahmad Dahlan is trying as hard as its ability to restore Islam from its source ie the Qur'an and Sunnah, because he has looked Islam in Indonesian society that has a lot of mixed variety of courses that did not originate from the Qur'an and Al Hadith,

everywhere rampant superstition and heresy acts that Muslims living in a state of conservative and traditional. The emergence of KH Ahmad Dahlan was not just trying to scrape out all the customs of Buddhism, Hinduism, animism, dynamism inherent in Islam, but also spread the mind-mind renewal in Islam, for Muslims to be the people who developed like other peoples. But the strange magic bin, the appearance he was greeted negatively by some scholars themselves, who were scholars are scholars who do not agree to dispose of some Buddhist and Hindu traditions that have been colored by their version that has been preserved by scholars Tuban flow past, which among other things Pinda Pitre Yajna ceremony filled with the breath of Islam, which is famous for its naming ceremony nelung dina, mitung dina, dina mature, nyatus, and nyewu. In 1926 the Indonesian clerics rose with the establishment of an organization that is named "Nahdhatul Ulama" abbreviated as NU. In muktamarnya in Napier NU issued a decision which, among other things: "Every event that is religious should be preceded by a sistimatikanya tahlil reading as we know it today in society." This decision seems completely implemented by the NU. So that all who are religious ceremony begins with the reading of prayers, including the event of death. Start gradually then Pinda Pitre Yajna ceremony marked by Islamic changed its name to tahlilan until now. In accordance with the history of the birth of tahlilan in the ceremony of death, hence the term tahlilan in the ceremony of death is only known in Java alone. On islands another across Indonesia this event does not exist. If there was just as seepage from Java alone. Especially in other countries such as Arabic, Egyptian, and other woods countries around the world did not recognize the ceremony tahlilan in this death. By already knowing the history of the birth of tahlilan in funeral ceremonies, which hung above, then we will no longer say that the ceremonies of death are the teachings of Islam, even we will be able to say that people who do not want to get rid of this ceremony means to preserve one of the Hindu religion. The Hindus did not want to preserve the teachings of Islam, not even the slightest kepercikan Islamic teachings. But why do we Muslims would preserve the beliefs and teachings them. Not enough for us Sunnah of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam who was obviously bright all we do. Why should ditambah-tambahin/mengada-ada. They believe the teachings of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam was still less than perfect. Hopefully, once we know the history of the birth of tahlilan the death ceremony, we want to open our hearts to receive the ultimate truth and hopefully we will be consistent to the teachings of Islam which Allah and His Messenger. There is one thing we need to watch carefully, we do not ever dare to say that people who do not ditahlil is dead buffalo. According to the authors, words such as These include a major

sin, because it means the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam and his companions as well as Muslims around the world besides the demise of the island of Java is not ditahlili buffalo all.
